I'm starting to understand him more. The same way it took me a long time to understand some thick scottish accents in the house on previous seasons.

Sophiee 22-08-2011 12:12 AM

I understand most of what he says now, it's getting easier the more I listen to him.

I understand Paddy - I suppose it helped watching The Big Fat Gypsy Wedding you get used to their accents.

Also I mean that phone call sounded like a different language..:/

I did think that at first actually.

Sunny_01 22-08-2011 08:06 AM

Nope its all kind of spoken in tongues as far as I am concerned.

Jords 22-08-2011 08:07 AM

Mostly.. just about :joker:

Marc 22-08-2011 08:10 AM

I think he's hilarious BECAUSE I can't understand him :laugh:

ABigbother 22-08-2011 10:08 AM

I can only understand him when he says "Lady" or "Honest to god" apart from that it's all double Dutch.
I'm also have trouble with Tara that accent is truely horrible.

Incensed 22-08-2011 10:12 AM

I actually switched the subtitles on last night so I knew what he was talking about. :joker:

I think Paddy udnerstanding other people is more of a problem. People have to say the same thing to him over and over and over and still there is hardly a flicker of comprehension in his eyes.

he also seemed to say 'Baby' a lot to his wife...

I do find him a bit to understand at times, but I'm getting there..I think he's really funny and a great choice of housemate.

Smithy 22-08-2011 04:31 PM

Why does he have an irish accent if he was born in Manchester D:

▲¯\_(ツ)_/¯▲ 22-08-2011 05:23 PM

Being Irish and growing up around travellers, I can say yea I understand him easily.

He doesn't have an Irish accent though, he has a Traveller accent, but I can definitely hear a British twinge to it, Northern English to be precise.
There are a lot of things he says and words he uses that sound very English when you are used to the Irish Travellers accent

gohan2091 23-08-2011 12:29 AM

I can understand bits and pieces but it's difficult

Bojangles 23-08-2011 12:59 AM

The more you listen to him the more you will understand him.It's like listening to some people after they've had a stroke you will get the gist.
You'll obviously understand him if you're oyrish.

SimBrotherNetwork 23-08-2011 03:07 AM

No, but i love him!

'Conor 23-08-2011 03:13 AM

crollsy 23-08-2011 04:10 PM

paddy is way easier to understand than tara!

ram513 23-08-2011 04:12 PM

Sort of :)

Kaaarenn! 23-08-2011 04:34 PM

I can't really understand him all the time either. I have to listen really hard to know what's he talking about lol.

Gillian-73 23-08-2011 05:43 PM

The first night i couldn't understand a word! it got easier each night and i can now understand most of what he says.

BOOSH 28-08-2011 01:53 PM

I can for most of it, I like how they're using subtitles sometimes haha

That isn't an Irish accent, it's a traveller accent:nono:
