Did Oscar Wilde speak with an irish or english accent?

This might seem like a rather stupid thread but a friend's dad inspired me to make it.That i know,Wilde used to speak with a similar accent to his interlocutor because he was a tart.Mick Jagger is known to do that too and Warhol always came accross as another one.

Laila, how did you get porky's password?

I think he sounded a bit like Graham Norton.

porkmarras · 10.21.2006, 12:14 PM

Well,Frankie and i agree that he lived in England for quite a while and he also happened to be a unique person.I have the answer for this but i was trying to stimulate debate.

porkmarras · 10.21.2006, 12:16 PM

Gay,there's your point.

Everyneurotic · 10.21.2006, 12:17 PM

irish upper class dubliner accent. kinda well spoken but able to relate to the working class. tendency to use the word fuck a lot in conversation.

why would he speak with an english accent?

Oscar himself remarked that the first thing he forgot when he went to Oxford was his Irish accent.

I watch it all the time. Alan Davis rules.

When they were talking about the shape of raindrops yesterday, they should really have mentioned rainbows, as rainbows are proof of a raindrop's spherical nature. And is anyone wants to see a lead shot tower, there's one still standing in Chester.

Danny Himself · 10.21.2006, 02:26 PM

Alan didn't lose last night.

Hip Priest · 10.21.2006, 02:28 PM

No. Ms Ancona was rather good, wasn't she? Unlike Bremner. But intellectually, it's Rory McGrath who's the real star when he's on. i hope they get him on this series, because he was incredible.

Did Oscar Wilde wear green tights, and run around his garden with a bow and arrow?
