Re: [General] Content of aus.rail

Hallo Harse!.
bayjaysus now you does not be thinking us Paddies have a thick accent,
now does you?

No, we does be well spoken, not like them sheep shagging Aussies who
seem to make more sense when they've got a few of those tins of
disgusting brew that they have the nerve to call bevvies.

Anyway, CityRail maybe should employ announcers who cannot be
understood (e.g. Aussies and Kiwis) because the last thing CityRail
want is for people to understand! :-)

Regards

Frank
