A A Gill on James Nesbitt playing Dr Jekyll, in the Sunday Times

"I suspect the Irish accent has a lot to do with the success of his characterisation. It is a Jekyll-and-Hyde voice. He's blarney and craic and Terry Wogan, but also the voice from behind the balaclava, the code-word warning and sectarian bile."

Wait, what?

Yep. I *hate* it when people assume that all Irish people are brimming with "blarney and craic and Terry Wogan" too.

Mmm, brimming with Terry Wogan, now there's an image.

I would like to state for the record that I have never been brimming with Terry Wogan.
