Where is the Queue?

I do not have an Irish accent. I'm not even sure I could fake a passible one, it's much harder than you'd expect. However, the words and the way people talk here seems to have invaded my brain. Cheers, class, craic, whats the story, queue...all these things have become a part of my new normal and are something I will likely bring back. I'm going to miss the ability to suggest a night out by simply asking people if they want to go grab a pint. I was reading a book yesterday and for some reason it used the word tornado. In my head, I read it as tore-nah-do instead of tore-nay-do. I stopped reading for a minute in shock. I also found myself questioning why Italians couldn't make an orderly queue over the weekend, which is so incredibly Irish/British of me I'm not even sure how to deal with it.
