2013 World Police Fire Games – how to speak like a Northern Ireland local

From 1-10 August Northern Ireland is hosting the 2013 World Police Fire Games.  The World Police and Fire Games has only been held outside North America on four occasions and this year marks their first time ever in the UK.

A local sponsor/partner f the #2013WPFG, the Horatio Group, will be wearing t-shirts with some “Norn-Iron”-isms on them

On the WPFG Facebook Page, followers were asked to make some more (clean and appropriate) suggestions and I want to share them with you.

If you can think of any more (clean and appropriate) to add, leave them in the comments.

If you are local are you planning to attend any of the event? There are a few more unique events which I might try to take my son along to – including Muster and Ultimate Fire Fighter.
