A thought for Ireland

Foxhound38

A friend linked me to this today - must say, I found it to be a very articulate laying out of some of the problems we face in this country today. If we can still produce people like this young fella, with a bit of resistance in them as he displays, we might not be in as much trouble for the future as I thought we were. My hat goes off to him!

Obviously the most important issues to him are home, turf and water. If you were to do such a video, what would be your three issues in terms of a "thought for Ireland"?

What does Sideshow Bob know about Ireland?

Em, it's a good video and all, but I think he's joking - says so in the comments :P

Spot the "Free-Stater"

Poorly executed satire by the captain

It's fairly self explanatory, that stupid beard of his makes him look like a gimp.

Only good thing about this is the thrilling first few seconds where it reminds one of some of the great Nationwide pieces.

Hair grows out of face. Face grows hair on face. Modern human cut hair on face. But hair still grow on face. Not strange. But normal.

I'd class myself as a "free-stater" though i'm not linked with any political party.

You're obviously an enemy of Ireland then. Captain ginger nuts says so.

I don't think so? Where does it say he's joking?

Seventh quote below the video.

The funniest thing is that some people think I'm being serious! ha ha : )

He's a member of some republican party group or other. He used to hand out easter lilies on shopstreet in Galway eery year and talk the year off you about whatever flavour of the month was was passionate about that week.

Nice lad all the same and clearly taking the piss in the video.

BillyMitchel

Can't get sound so no point in looking at the link.

That's one of the lads from the occupy movement and all the other sit ins that followed after. Nice guy in fairness to him.

I really didn't think he was, although I didn't read the comments. How odd - the things he raises seem like reasonable concerns and feelings to have

He's obviously joking and he got a laugh out of me.

Maybe I'm just too old to understand humour these days. Where is the punchline? I don't get it I'm afraid

Troublemakers like this should be rounded up

Hmm, is he on Boards.ie?

And where are the good points that you claimed he made?

What we learned from the video:

1. He cuts turf
2. He drinks water

So he likes the smell of politics and the taste of power, but he doesn't quite know how to go about getting it. Like myself as a young lad - with the ladies.

Slieve Aughty area is nice - I'll give him that.

I'm probably as old as yourself.

You really can't see how he's taking the piss? It's not a knock knock joke ftloj (for the love of jaysus!).

But at that time he was cutting wood...but there was turf cut!

But that doesn't make any sense. It's been said here that he is of radical leanings - where exactly was he talking the piss, and who out of?

Dude (can I call you dude?), humour can't be explained to someone. You either get it or you don't.

This has nearly killed me, I've been heat pissing myself since I read it. I think it's the doo di doo bit. Well done woollyredhat, well done, you win.

Also your man has a serious head of hair and a serious beard.

Someone finally explained it to me - very good prank it must be said!

I think the first 30 seconds of this video sums up the state of the nation much better

We don't see the bankers jump off with their golden parachutes, but everything else is spot on.

Yeah, like the first attempt was a raging success. Next time it won't be the GPO, it'll be outsourced to DHL.

(What's the point of all that hair? Is it supposed to make him look more Irish?

What's the point of your hairstyle? Are you trying to express a nationality through your haircut, or do you just like to wear your hair that way?
