OH DOH you're so right, I know the name of the book (hellooo, it's sitting right behind me *laughs*), I was just in a hurry to finish my entry and wasn't thinking properly. I'll go fix it, thank you! *squish*
Eoin has a very mild, flat Irish brogue, more like a Dublin accent than the stereotypical 'faith and baggorah!' Father Ted one. *grins* He actually introduced himself by apologizing for his 'disappointing' accent, by telling a story about a woman who met him a few years ago saying 'I've seen the movie Far and Away, I know what an Irish accent sounds like. And you, sir, are not Irish'. *giggles*
Sadly, I am not an-ex pat, at least not technically. :) I lived in the UK for nearly five years, and have spent another five back in the States, but AT LAST I am moving back in september, to marry my beloved trukkle and settle in Brighton. :) If all goes according to plan, that is. *G*
