The Irish are the new English abroad.
No need to be rude.
+1. Apes on tour. This is going to sound like a snob thing, but seeing some Irish people when on the continent is something I go out of my way to avoid, the lack of common decency and respect to non- English speakers in their own countries is like a carry-on film, it’s like they learnt a Sky documentary about brits abroad off by heart and go that extra mile to be obnoxious boors. The Swiss, Danes, Germans, French young people don’t seem to have such traveling oiks among them
You dont have to go on tour to see it,plenty of people act like this at home too.
I sign that the festering illness in our society is becoming contagious. This is not good.
A sign
Yes they do Kolmo, we think their jerseys are cool is all.
Agreed. The irish in sydney are animals.
new English abroad.? why is he rioting ????
Gainfully employed, no doubt.
Invite him/her back for the Gathering!
Of course you don’t feel far from home in bloody Bondi! Shur you’re there will all your mates from home, reading Broadsheet, listening to Hector after work and drinking in Irish bars. It’s like you never left.
Travelling is such a cultural experience you know…
This is why I will never go to Australia. And Canada is going that way too.
Gee. So, in Ireland, you are not forced to mix with loads of people you would rather not but if you go to Australia, you would have to?
You are not forced to mix with Irish people, when you are in Australia, or Canada.
Reputations.
Maybe so, but in Ireland people will not automatically assume you’re a skanger/waster/scumbag just because you’re Irish. Unfortunately this can be the case in many foreign countries, and not without reason.
*with dammit.
..and like Dublin most everyone you meet has come from criminal stock.
Troll.
Lighten up I’m joking. I’m also from Dublin.
Shoot on sight.
12 to a 2 bed apartment, matresses on the floor, wine from a carton, pale skin, drinking on the beach, communication problems with the locals (it’s just more fun with asians), and so on, we’ve been doing it for years without digital cameras
Hurling on the beach too.
i hope that isnt true…
Oh it is. I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
They travel 12,000 miles and end up hanging around with people from their home town, wearing their local club GAA jerseys and eating Tayto. They also think they’re all the first people to do it despite the thousands of people doing just that since the early 1980s.
I’d imagine you could rearrange that 1980s to 1890s and it would still be largely accurate.
Skangers will skang.
Seems you can tell a lot about a person by how they look. Well done you.
It is in a publin place – wearing pyjamas FFS, what more do you need to know about this person?
It’s called “keeping it real” FYI.
Ha!
Plus ca change….
We’ve exported all of our great young minds *sigh*
They are our little Lord Byrons, each and everyone of them.
Ah the brain drain, how can we cope?
Is that a jung fella or a young wan?
a young fella who borrowed his burd’s ‘jammers
You can take the knacker out of Dublin, but you can’t take Dublin out of the Knacker.
Harsh…. pretty true tho.
Someone please take the knackers out of Dublin
I tried, they always want to go to the same places though.
I suggested the National Concert Hall and she countered with Dr.Quirkeys. I said Shannahans on the Green and she pleaded for Burger King. I suggested the penthouse in the Clarence and she said “behind Tescos”.
You’d think that since you were paying for her services she’d go where you told her.
So much for customer service.
Deep.
Haters gonna hate
Hatters gonna hat.
the dubs on broadsheet are really confused by this one – ” i wanna write a derogatory comment about culchies, culchies abroad” etc but wait ” shes wearing a Dublin jersey, what do i do, i’m so confused”,
keep that hampster wheel turning guys you will get there
Hamster!
Maybe she’s a culchie who got a jump of a Dub……trying to save face and hold onto what little pride and dignity she had left she donned her sires jersey.
Dirty stop-out.
Not true, Illuminati. I enjoy poking fun at our country cousins as much as the next Dubliner – but these poor unfortunates walking around in PJs are a breed into themselves (quite literally, I expect).
‘Unto themselves’, even. Though ‘into’ works too!
Notice how the old guy in the pic is holding on to his trousers. No doubt he’s in real fear of them being stolen as he believes the crazy person before him owns no trousers of their own.
FFS. It’s photoshopped. Here’s the original…

Bet she asked for a 3 in 1 from the Japanese Takeaway….
