It comes down to this one spiritual meditation brother...Is Blanch's shopping centre topped by a Pyramid fitting of Giza? Ponder upon that in peace and love, Namaste.
No, our "hyper competitive consumer society" AKA just life and natural human psychology, which is therefore a necessity, leads you to think that. It isn't wrong to want the best for your money, or the most for your barter.
Love this channel. I live in Spain but when I want a hit of Irish nostalgia I hit this channel up. While entertainingly witty it is a surprisingly and philosophically thoughtful view on aspects of Irish life and places. Keep up the great work says this subscriber!
@@meditationsfortheanxiousmind no , thank you! Big fan! Always watching! Since you've responded though (kind of you) any chance you'll do one on the town of skerries north Dublin? Never mind if not on your plan, just a passing request in this chat
@@meditationsfortheanxiousmind that would awesome, whenever or if ever. I grew up there, rip it apart whenever you might get round to it haha, thanks again, thanks for responding also
Not even a mention of a hundred bags of crisps for a euro in Breathnachs Bargains, also famous for the sign on the way in: "Shoplifters: We don't ring the Garda, Anto will deal with you". The only one who was ever man enough to stand up to Anto was Anto's wife, who caught him cheating and left but also told the Guards about his secret storeroom full of knockoff sports gear just as an extra "fuck you" to him.
@@DenisKelly was mine throughout my childhood and their offers on slightly expired sweets and crisps really stretched my pocket money and I only ever got the shits from it twice.
You are an anomaly at the moment for me. I'm mad for a lot of Irish twitter sketch lads and then someone shared one of your videos in a WhatsApp group, this 'you' are a hidden gem and idk why. Thanks, from a Blanch man
Hang on a minute, Mortons was in the Knocklyon video too. Is it in Knocklyon or Firhouse? Is Knocklyon in Firhouse which means it's in Tallaght? We need another video to explain this
you got ti do a Sligo town video mate, if not done already one yet. I cannot find one at least. great content though. I've just watched 20 videos of yours in a row///
I used to live right next to The Square shopping centre. Really rough place, I got 3 of my vertebrae broken by teenagers with rocks in a housing estate in the middle òf the night. Its probably the last place on earth I'd visit again.
I had rocks hurled at me from across a main road (traffic lights ) they threw rocks towards me fortunately they ended up hitting gates, they were all unaccompanied crack baby feral youth , and I was raised in Tallaght, it is rough and I myself intend to not remain in it long term.
@@JB-gq1od I went to school in Peckham, South London and grew up in and lived in the roughest areas of London, Catford, Walworth, Norwood Junction, Bermondsey and now live in Tottenham. Tallaght is still without a doubt the roughest place I've ever lived in.. Maybe my South London accent had a lot to do with all the trouble I got in over there. Respect to you for lasting this long there, I'll be moving back to Donegal one day when my kids grow up. Thzts where I'm from originally. 🇮🇪
The Square (or Sq. as they've rebranded it, i.e. "skew-dot") is almost a postmodernist architectural masterpiece. It subverts expectations by calling itself a square when it's most obvious signifier is a massive fucking pyramid, and the dingy lighting and pokey shops covertly undermined the wannabe hypercapitalism of late 80s Ireland. The flashy neon allure of the VirtuaRacer arcade game beside the UCI cinemas was a cruel tease for patrons, as the reality of The Square was closer to that Michael Guiney's ripoff on the ground floor yer ma used to drag you around that smelled like leather and plastic.
I've watched 537 of your videos in the last three days (Perrystown lured me in) and I am yet to successfully predict your 'Namaste'. It always comes as a shock.
Lol as an American who went to Ireland before, McDonald’s is waaay more insane at night there than it is in the US😂 lol there were like 3 dudes about to fight each other and one guy just screaming for his order. Lmao at least in the states the crazy ones get served quickly to get them out of the restaurant
Safety net? What do they need to be “saved” from can’t generalize everyone who is from there. I was raised there myself but I’m respectable and mannerly and not a scumbag. My mother works as a healthcare worker for a family in Rathfarnham , and she is living in Tallaght 25+ years.
