The cream of the nation
Tip of the hat to SuperGrover who posted this on the forum. It deserves a wider audience though.
“It went all the way up my gowl and it’s fuckin’ big” – absolute gold.

See now.
Having watched that, I can understand how the fear and neglect that baby in the buggy must experience on a daily basis, could lead him/her to act out in anti social ways, having developed defensive behaviours as response to what was modelled to him.
And then it makes me sad to see that child condemned to jail, or some would have it, excecution or culling, because of the way he was formed.
Someone could have stepped in and calmed them down for the sake of that child, instead of videoing them.
Yeah, I can see why it’s funny and all. But really it’s just tragic. They learned it in their buggies too.
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:36 am
I think you’re reading too much into it, Jo. There are only two humane options for that child.
1 – Take it away from those people and send it far away to live with normal humans.
2 – Kill it.
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:39 am
Fantastically horrific, sociologically speaking.
And also, the garrison town legacy is definitely a factor.
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:43 am
That is class, I nearly fell off my chair at “he’s good looking for a knacker”. SG deserves a drink for digging that one up.

Sigh.
Depressed.
Meanies, fags and lucozade, the three food groups represented there, alright.

Made my day – anybody know her phone number ? I’m for Athlone!
April 22nd, 2009 at 11:13 am
my favourite line
“… he’s every bit as well endowed as what you are and he kisses my back better than what you do…”
nice.
April 22nd, 2009 at 11:14 am
No doubt as he’s ploughing right up her enormous gowl.
April 22nd, 2009 at 11:18 am
Ya could swing a cat in her dirty gash I’d say.

gowl – i thought it also meant… well, not just the, y’know, bits, but also a descriptive noun for the *ahem* discharge thereof *ahem*
April 22nd, 2009 at 12:42 pm
you couldn’t fucking script something like that…..

“Interestingly,” said Professor Pedant, FTCD, “gowl (gowel) is directly from the Irish gabhal (pronouced the same). Means a fork (in the road) – junction – crotch – cunt. Charming use of Hiberno-English.”
April 22nd, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Ah, as in, “Cead Staisuin Eile – Next Station, Gabhal Binn Eaidar – Howth Junction”
Interesting. Now I’ll have something to think of every time I’m on the train home.
April 22nd, 2009 at 1:05 pm
i always thought that howth was full of cunts..
April 22nd, 2009 at 1:11 pm
That may well be so, but Howth Junction train station is in Donaghmede / Kilbarrack.
No comment.
April 22nd, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Your point being?
April 22nd, 2009 at 1:22 pm
No point. No comment. Just a fact.
April 22nd, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Kilbarrack is known as Lower Howth to estate agents.
April 22nd, 2009 at 1:29 pm
And Gabhal Luimnigh is in Tippherhairy
April 22nd, 2009 at 1:29 pm
Estate agents are cunts.
April 22nd, 2009 at 1:32 pm
The fact that there MIGHT have been a baby in that buggy lends the whole thing that much needed whiff of melancholy. Superb!
April 22nd, 2009 at 1:38 pm
I am still laughing. that has been converted to mpeg and saved for future chuckleness

Classic comment on You Tube:
“They all have dirty gashes down Athlone way, it’s genetic! ”
Are you sure this isn’t a training video for social services. Anyway off to make “Cause he’s good looking for a knacker” my ring tone.
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:45 pm
Jesus, I’d like to apologise to everybody who watched that. I had no idea we were being filmed. I’ll definitely try to keep our domestics indoor from now on.
In defence of my wife and her gowl, she is actually professor of linguistics at UCL (B.Sc, M.Sc, PHD), and a lady of some refinement. You just caught her — and indeed myself — at a bad moment there. We’d just arrived back from a lacklustre opera, and were feeling disillusioned by The Arts.
Sorry again. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got gowl to be securing.
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Glad your all enjoying this. It took 2 hours to put the titles on it then they took it down and I had to start again, worth it though, it’s only been 6 days and it’s in 10 seperate top 100 lists including number 1 most favourited in Ireland this week. It’s already been on iRadio but I’d love if it made it onto telly. Anyone have Graham Nortons phone number? if so, why? LoL
April 22nd, 2009 at 7:21 pm

Hardly! That’s how people get stabbed!

There’s so much to laugh at here, the vid, the comments posted.
Now you all know I’m not one to ramble on like a an attention seeking whore*cough, cough, but -I’d like to state
tnks SG; that’s fucking so funny.

Filler…would that not make Donaghmeade and Kilbarrack full of cocks? Howth Junction the gabhall?
Unless of course like the gentleman in the video, the cocks have to f*** up the arse, in which case the Gabhall is redundant and should probably close up shop and head to the local dole office with the rest of the population.

Just clicked on alke’s link. (Fair play, alke, for the effort involved in the name of high art)
Anyway, the first line I read on the link was this…
“The Environmental Health Officer is to examine the source of a foul smell at Garden Vale and the Crescent in Athlone.”
anyone…?

I just discovered that this has been posted on YouTube – titled “Athlone scumbags” – for the past four months, albeit without the subtitles that SuperGrover helpfully added.
I have been in Athlone a lot and never witnessed anything like this. I wonder are they “country people” (if anyone knows what that means and who uses the phrase) or what?
April 23rd, 2009 at 5:18 am
Mostly, I just feel proud to be Irish. Johnny Logan winning the Eurovision (twice), peace in the North, and now this. Finally, we’ve achieved the hat trick!
April 23rd, 2009 at 7:22 am

I would assume country people means farming community types.
They are definitely not country people…

April 23rd, 2009 at 9:44 am
I was thinking of writing an entry for Lonely planet:
Why not take time to visit the charming town of Athlone. make time to see the Irish at their most natural, engaging in the famous “craic” in the street for all to observe. see how they involve their children at an early age so the legendary “blarney” is passed through the generations. Whilst in Athone take time to visit the famous “gowl” renowned for its ability to take in large masses whilst avoidng taking it “up the arse” . Please note the Athone safari park which contains only hippos is only open May-September.

I dunno Twenty.have you ever been on a Transatlantic Flight sitting near a screaming shit-machine?
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Fuck, I was developing a PC game called “leave my child unattended in a hotel room ” where your character goes round a trashy holiday resort and then gets points deducted depending on the fate of the child you leave. I am currently finding the alogorithm for parents covering up their own crime a bit difficult but sensing the outrage on this site I will now stop.
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Heh..
Will it be online multi-player PP?
You can choose between different characters to play: Either of the Parents,the incompetant and corrupt local police force,the inoccent (but a bit creepy) stooge,the rabidly drooling media..
You cant play the murderer though coz…oops,i have given too much away.
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Yep, there is also a feature for fleecing money out of the players to help find out the actual fate of the child. Watch out though , idf you get caught spunking it on champers and truffles the rabid press will hunt you down.

Actually, I only asked to see how many would know something I only found out a few years ago, when a relative of mine was a social worker dealing mainly with the Travelling community.
We call them “Travellers”, as they themselves prefer, and they call the rest of us (i.e. all the Irish who are non-Travellers) “Country People”.
Odd, but so I was informed.
