I remember watching the Beatles’ “A Hard Days Night” for the first time. It was great but also, scary in a way. I listened to them speaking and often couldn’t understand a word. Their accent, what they spoke and how they did it were so unreal to me at the time. John was hard to understand but it was almost impossible to get a grasp of what Ringo was saying.
Naturally they all spoke with their Liverpudlian accent and often used typical scouse sayings. We all do that in our cities. Everywhere you go you will hear a local accent and tons of sayings that an outsider will never understand.
The thing is though, in a city like Liverpool, with it’s amazing nightlife and party atmosphere, not knowing what people around you are saying might be hard. So, with that in mind I have prepared a list of some of the most common scouse sayings that you simply must know if you are coming to the city.
Ready?


Liverpool is famous for different things to many people. Some admire the Meccano or Hornby sets, for others it’s the Albert Dock, however one thing that practically everyone knows about the city is that it’s the birthplace of the Beatles.
Dublin is a city with a long literary history. Not only the city gave birth to some of the finest writers in the World but also delivered a beautiful scenery for their works. Moreover, many writers have left a personal mark on various locations in Dublin.
Dublin is a city with a long and colorful history. It is hard to find a place within the city centre that wouldn’t be of any historic significance. However, Dublin is also filled with supernatural history, a past that still manifests itself in various locations around the city.
Lego is an amazing toy, I am sure you will agree. There isn’t many other toys that have put their mark on a few generations and most importantly, still entertain the kids (of all ages, may I add).
If you have been even vaguely following the news, you must know about one of the most important holidays in Ireland coming up tomorrow, the St. Patrick’s Day. And, as much as you may know who the famous saint was, and why do we celebrate the holiday, I believe there are still some less known facts that I want to highlight to you today.
Maybe you have heard them already but still can’t figure out what they mean.
Every country and city in the world has a set of laws that either make you laugh or raise your eyebrows in wonder. And, Ireland, and Dublin has a fair share of those. I suppose many of the laws below are a pure fiction, myths that have been passed, often from one generation to another. Yet still, they are fun to read.
Public transport in Dublin has undoubtedly become quite mythical for many. Without a doubt you hear stories about it before you arrive to the city, and it takes a while to fully get used to the way the busses operate. Unlike in most other places, the rules for public transport in Dublin are quite original and I think it is better if you know them before you arrive.
