Now, I have my moments... but there can't be many people- male or female who says f**k that often?

I've been saying it a lot tonight super!.... I think I have to go make a cuppa... want one?? lol brb
Noirin has always said it too much.
(At this point other forumers will pop in to say it doesn`t bother them.)
But tonight, in combination with Isaac she is being excessive.
Far too many Fs.
And when she says "I thought f***"
what exactly does she mean?

"feck" is an Irish thing and is NOT swearing, although it sometiems gets used INSTEAD of the ...er more "traditional" word, I lived in Ireland for a number of years and was shocked when I heard an elderly lady say something along the lines of,....I dont want that one I want that fecker over there, the lumpy fecker with all the feckin icing on it" when asking for a cake in a shop,
my Irish mate later explained that FECK is NOT,...the other word,
so feck it,
It seems to me though that what Noirin is saying is the "fu**" version.
Feck is not a swear word, but sometimes is used instead of the other lol... it is also used to express other things, for example.. I fecked the rubbish in the bin... she was fecked, means she was tired... and so on... great eh lol

That's what we heard as well and commented on how many times she said it.
She was saying FU version ... in a dodgy americanised accent
I noticed her accent changed when she asked him if he wanted some water. But then again when you have been with someone for so long you do pick up accents and sayings.
I lived in Canada for 12 years as a child and had a strong Canadian accent. Now when ever I speak to Americans or Canadians it seems to pop out unvoluntary which is quite embarrassing.

Completely agree super, it was a sad day for the English language and Noirin.
I can only hope that he is a bad influence, though I have heard from Irish friends that they do favour such language, and perhaps the excitement of his entry could account for it as well.

Yep, I agree.
Something very strange happened to her accent, and her vocabulary. He is most of the problem.
I don't swear, never have done and doubt I ever will. I don't even use the word *sh*t* 
Although I have friends that swear quite a lot, I'm able to mentally block it out and hear only what they are saying.
But last night listening to Noirin, her use of that word every couple of seconds, had the opposite effect for me. I didn't hear what she was saying because all I could hear was that word.
You are all probably confused by what I've written, but I know what I mean.

She was indeed, but I didn't put that spelling into the title as GAGA would have converted it to asterisks!
Her language in the clip I stopped watching fecked me right off
Twas on the Emerald isle that I first heard the C word used as an adjective. 
sorry to say the irish feck is the same as the english feck they have the same meaning so does frig also

The Irish feck is the same as the English version of the same word, using 'u'. No stars for me today 
It is said this way because it is slightly less offensive than the full version, but I have been known to use the full English version at times. It all depends on the context, and the amount of anger you feel at the time. You sometimes forget yourself and go for the full monty.

I know exactly what you mean MysTerry, and I agree with you.
I'm always gobsmacked when I go home at how much the Irish do swear 
particularly children 
I use feck instead of the FU version but I try not to swear cos I'm a good girl.
As for accents, I've lived in the UK for 30 years and my accent is now English but as soon as I'm within an inch of an Irish person it automatically reverts to Irish - it's a subconscious thing so perhaps the same is happening to Noirin?

Same with my Scots accent. I get worried in case they think I'm taking the mick, but I'm not.
