Transcription of sentence (Scouse accent)
Would you please help me to get the best transcription of this sentence? It's a (very short) snippet from a song that's sung with what I suppose is a heavy Liverpool accent. The best I've been able to find is "I've had my shur of crying bookets full of..."

Oops... Sorry, I didn't explain myself clearly. I do understand what he's saying ("share" and "buckets"). What I was looking for is a transcription that mimics the accent, so someone who's reading it can get an idea of the accent.

So cannot anyone tell me a good way to write those words imitating teh accent?

Hi,
I think it is very difficult to give an accurate phonetic transcription of a song. Also, using "plain" IPA is not enough in most cases, and I have never seen anyone here using complicated transcriptions... so I don't know who would be able to help you (Marvin would probably have, though... I wonder where that guy went)
Anyway, I am an expert at mishearing lyrics! I have yet to un

Hi Kooyeen,
Thank you very much for your answer. I'm terribly bad at understanding lyrics, too, but somehow I think I've grown used to this man's accent, since I can understand him better than I usually do with other people. I am sure he says "I've had my share of crying buckets full of..." (mainly now that Mister Micawber has confirmed it). What I was looking for is not an IPA transcript

00 hmm, I see, but that wouldn't be a good transcription then. The way it would be read would vary from person to person. For example, you could say that people from Boston don't say ***, but GAWD. Well, all the speakers with the cot-caught merger (that is, thy don't distinguish between those two vowels) would say that transcription is not really good. Another example could
