Oy tink is said in some parts of Ireland, meaning I think. Oy tink i'll have a wee whiskey. The North of Ireland has a very guttural accent similar to a Scottish accent. The further south you go it becomes more of a sing song accent.
The accents of these islands are all very unique for such a small place. In America you can travel 100s of miles or more before a change occurs.

I was appalled by that girl who was told she was fat and ugly, that the school hated her and that she was better off dead. Interesting that they were anonymous. To this day I recall a teacher at school telling me that in reality most bullies are cowards.

To this day I recall a teacher telling me that I was stupid, that she hated me and that I'd be better off dead.

Just kidding. Some genius put up South Korea's flag when introducing North Korea's football team. Must have been sampling their opponents, Colombia, finest blend.

Not England - the incident happened in Glasgow which is the largest city in Scotland.

It's not surprising in a city where one of the major football clubs flies the flag of a foreign country at it's stadium.

Although it was actually a corporate f**k-up with the package coming from "head office". That said, you'd have thought someone might have checked it. After all, some joker could have slipped in a spoof video showing Foo Kin, Wan Kin, and Fuk Yoo playing in defense!
