Just say the following words out loud…
1.“whale”
2.“oil”
3.“beef”
4.“hooked”.
That simple!
(edited cos i got found out!).
I saw this on a comedy show last night on TV - did you watch the same one? 
(on reflection, the first word for the one I heard was “whale”)
Is that good for anywhere in Ireland, or is it Dublin-specific?

Bah!
yup it was Jack Dee live at the Apollo! 
I love things like that!
Many years ago I saw a book titled “Let’s Stalk Strine”. It was really a very complete guide to sounding like an Australian. It must have been somewhat accurate because I met some people from Australia and I said the only thing I could remember which was Let’s Stalk Strine. And they just looked at me like I was nuts (because it would be rather odd to say “Let’s talk Australian” to someone and also they knew I was from the US) but they understood just what I meant, which was odd because I still couldn’t quite separate it from what I was actually saying.
Like a lot of Jack’s gags it’s as old as the hills but is still funny. 
Hoping that Perrins and Tyler and Geraint have gone to bed, here’s one with a Welsh flavour.
“Knock knock.”
“Who’s there?”
“Whale kipper whelk.”
“Whale kipper whelk who?”
(singing:) “Whale kipper whelk-ome in the hillsides…”

Before I went to Oz at Easter I bought the Lonely Planet Australian Phrasebook. Dead cheap, totally hilarious (and useful!) and worth every penny.
