    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!

      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.

    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.

    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.
