'bout ye Seamus! How's it going?

Have yous ever noticed that us Norn Iron people say things like "well now!" as an exclamation from out of nowhere a lot when there's absolutely no reason to speak at all.

Damn, if I'd known I could tell people's religion from their accents it would have saved years of the shifty sizing-up "what's your name? where abouts are you from? Oh yeah, which school was that you went to?" type conversations (which we do automatically, even if we don't give a damn what their religion actually is).
