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
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.
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
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. 🇮🇪
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'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.
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.
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.

Our hyper competitive consumer society leads me to wonder though, which is better, Blanch or Tallaght? This deserves its own video.

They are both seedy beasts.
There both kips. But less traffic in tallaght.
Imagine Blallaght.

And checking the dates on everything before u pay
I love his deadpan delivery!
Finally watched enough Irish content to get Irish TH-cam adverts, I have ascended.

Blanchman, the superhero no one thought we needed how wrong they were.
This is brilliant. You need to do the Walkinstown Roundabout.
.... And these days the Walkinstown Roundabout smells like one big Wow burger
John's chipper in the 90s was deadly.
😂
In his seminal documentary series, Frankie lays bare to us the rich cultural tapestry of Dublin and its environs.
Namaste 🙏
'The Connemara of Tallaght' sounds like a Martin McDonagh play. Namaste.
I'd love you to do a narrative on the now-screwed up Citywest shopping centre and the concrete jungles surrounding it.
Excellent thanks. More Tallaght tourism information please.
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
People from firhouse and knocklyn just like to pretend theyre not from tallaght
Everything is Tallaght
Yeah bud on a map firhouse is called tymon south but they claim to be part of knocklyon 😅
Firhouse tallaght
Anything west of the M50 that side is Tallaght. It's the great divide
Fun fact
Tallaght comes from the Irish Tamhlacht which means Place of the Plague burial site 💀
Tahnk you for this informative highly educational standard and realistic video.

Painfully accurate. It would soothe my soul to see a video about Ballyfermot.
th-cam.com/video/q_v1fzF_ZQI/w-d-xo.html
Epic chap
Yup Tallaght
These are great. You gotta do Swords next
Brilliant stuff bro

Jobstown River - great place to wash your snickers 😂

Firehouse say there not in Tallaght because there afraid there house value will come down.
Can you do Kilbarrack?
Snapper and the Van was made there 😁
So funny man! Really cracked me up. Do Hackney in east London there’s loads of material 😬😂😂
2:19 Funny thing is that McDonalds is actually right beside Tallaght Garda station yet people still get into wars in that drive thru haha

Brilliant! please do a video for Knocknaheeny on da Northside of Cork City will ya! 👏👏👏
They obviously cut corners building The Square if they ended up with a pyramid 😅
This guy is just brilliant 😂😂😂😂😂
I've never been to Ireland but I'm learning.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. My lovely Tallagh Country. 6 miles from Baile Atha Cliath. Thanks my friend agus good luck.

Tallaght also has LeisurePlex.
This lad is brilliant
Namaste🙏

There’s a reason McDonald’s in cities in the UK/Ireland have bouncers 😂
@@craig1131 damn UK/Ireland are built different😂 we live a simple existence when it comes to ordering fast food
Cool lol Try Do Castletimon in kilmore west
Much love.
Ya cant be calling the plaza show, the plaza is the fucking plaza and shall forever be known as the plaza until the end of time.
Entourage will always be known as level 4 too.
Could you do one for Waterford please bro
This guy is very Tallaghtent’d.
You would be a good rapper
No mention of the Tallaght Band. They were big in the very early 2000s following the "national tragedy" of 9/11 in the US.
Watchin this cuz I miss Ireland I haven’t been in Ireland in 6 years
this is accurate
You sir are a genius.
Absolute jem!
The sinking plaza
Also is this Darren Conway?
Ah here

As a person who lives in this shit hole, this video is hilarious

Canada Goose/actual goose 😂
I think this is great.the idea that you are from a area and yet so distant from that area.been there .northsider.or excuse me castleknock

Tal'eh.
To be fair to Tallaght, they took one for the county when they accepted Shamrock Rovers.
Lol as for the real Canada Geese you can fekn keep ‘em! Love your vids lololol🤣
My Nanny lives in Rathfarnham
Firehouse is the safety net that stop people from tallaght entering rathfarnham🤣🤣👏
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.
It's a joke bud...
Is this the frostbit school boy??
Yup Tallaght , see ya down the bowler for some 20/20
If Tallaght got blocked from the rest of Ireland would if be called the Taliban?
Very current, thank you
@@meditationsfortheanxiousmind Np I grew up in Clondalkin, but my Nanny on my dads side lived in Tallaght so this vid is very realistic to me
