Some shockin efforts on show. Otherwise most enjoyable.

Singles on the dancefloor doubles at the bar! GO 'ED!

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that. Sounds like some South Dubliners trying to sound "street" ("clockin' off urly...burtday...") - are there even some non-Irish in there?

Aidan Gillen could have fooled me, first saw him in the action film 12 Rounds with John Cena and my impression of him was that he was an American actor doing a bad Irish accent, got the same impression here but accent aside his performance was still top notch.

Agreed - I was amazed to find he was Irish after I saw him in The Wire. yet he seems to find the Dublin accent more difficult! "Jaaaaahhhnnn Boyyyyyyy", I call him in my head - he has that weird way of stretching the words out in what he imagines is a North Dublin accent - it sounds more like he's been hit with a hurley sometimes. Nidge also lets slip the odd D4 inflection (I don't like to stereotype, but the actor's double-barrelled name is surely a giveaway)
