Me Irish Culture

Someone tried to describe this next video to me as “that Guinness ad”. After spending sometime finding out which one I may as well throw it up on here, its a brilliant advert.

I’ve recently been in touch with someone who uploads videos onto Youtube and found this excellent footage in his collection. I don’t know much about the girl performing the song but for those interested the song is originally by Foster & Allen and called Bunch of Thyme.

As you can see the girl in the video is extremely talented and has a brilliant voice, great to see such a poetic song being performed so brilliantly.

Thanks to Richard for posting the following video of a prank phone call done on the Garda, totally classic stuff.

Since a very young age I have always had a big interest in standing stones, burial chambers and anything related to Megalithic Ireland and its magical history.

Most of us have probably read the transcript of the Irish Lighthouse and the Warship but have you seen the video? Check out the below video.

Another great video from Ireland is by Thomas Pedoussaut which shows his experience of commuting through rush hour traffic in Dublin, Ireland. As he cycles on you can see how dangerous this is for any experienced cyclist and my guess is he is only making his way to work and its pretty normal for him.

This video is a must look as it gives you a general feel of what Dublin, Ireland, is like and also how bad the traffic is there.

Thomas Pedoussaut has done a great job in putting this together and also adding a brilliant sound track.

The world cup in 1990 was a great time to be Irish and even better being in Ireland to watch the Republic of Ireland matches being played.

The whole of the country was ecstatic and celebrated with each win. When the Republic of Ireland went all the way to the Semi-Finals against Italy it was to safe to say that 90% of the country was on the verge of having heart attacks.

Watch this remarkable video of the 1990 World Cup highlights of the Republic of Ireland football team and their following, Jackie’s Army!

The Irish accent is one in a million and for many people outside of Ireland it is an accent they love hearing, even if they have problem understanding what was just being said.

I have always loved listening to the accents of people from different parts of Ireland and listening to the phrases that is common for each area such as the difference between people in Dublin to the people in County Donegal.

Some phrases are commonly used by everyone around Ireland but others are more unique to each geographic area within Ireland. < \p>
