Yes but Ireland should be in the "foreign" category as all the others are part of the UK and ROI is not

You’re all Manc-lite sounding to outsiders.

Yeah if you knew our history you wouldn't put it down as "nitpicking" It's not the first time you've done that either. It's insulting

Niamh. 04-03-2019 09:45 AM

I've mentioned it to you a few times before Redway, I'd swear you do it on purpose actually

caprimint 04-03-2019 09:46 AM

I literally have no specific accent, I think it's just a 'neutral' one but idk ask Dan, Armand, Lucas or Luke I guess?

When people guess where I'm from they usually say South England even though I'm from West Midlands :shrug:

It’s a poll on a Big Brother forum though isn’t it Niamh.

I will keep thinking it as long as you keep doing it......which is often. You would think that after me mentioning it so many times to you, you might actually stop being so disrespectful but nope

Feel free to nitpick.

Matthew. 04-03-2019 09:50 AM

I’ve put Scottish but where were the Aberdeen/Glasgow/Dundee/Edinburgh options instead of lumping us all together :oh:

Chances are I sound nothing like Parmnion :laugh:

Because me accidentally lumping Irish with British accents on a poll for convenience is me insulting your history. That’s exactly the sort of thing I’d intentionally do isn’t it.

Yeah seems like it is since I've said it you so many times yet you carry on doing it, so you are either doing it on purpose or are stupid, I don't think you're stupid

For convenience on a poll with limited options more like. Why would I be deliberately trying to spite Irish people?

But it says Foreign is non British Isles and Ireland is part of the British isles?

I wonder who named those? hhmm

Regardless, Ireland is foreign to Britain whether it's the "British Isles" or not

I have no idea Redway, why do you do that? Last time I pointed out to you that I wasn't British, I believe you said it was the same thing or I know what you mean or something? It's rude and it's offensive

Not as foreign as mainland Europe or anywhere else in the world though.

Nicky91 04-03-2019 10:46 AM

Dutch, our accent from the province North-Brabant we live in is Brabants with soft G

in the south of Netherlands, yes it is called north-brabant but you have a south-brabant which is in Belgium :laugh:

Of course it is, a foreign country is a foreign country. See there you go proving I was right all along.

Are you really this desperate to make a point about Ireland being a law onto itself?

What does that even mean? "A Law onto itself"? We're not part of Britain therefore we're a foreign country to Britain, as foreign as any other country that isn't part of Britain. What part of that is confusing to you?

Keep looking for trouble. That’s all I can say.

No comment on the point I made then? Just a passive aggressive sound bite? Next time you make one of these Polls, maybe have a think about it a bit more unless you are actually doing it to be a dick?

I restricted foreign to outside the British Isles on the poll out of convenience. Specifying non-British Isles as opposed to non-British was already me trying not to limp in Irish people with Brits.

You can go even more pedantic on me all you like though.

If you were Irish you wouldn't think it was pedantic. Do you think it actually annoys me or I'm just looking for an argument? I'm telling you it's something that I find insulting as an Irish person and you're telling me that I'm nit picking. That's pretty rude.
