Oh, the half-price bargains humanity.
Thanks Aaron McAllorum
Earlier at Brown Thomas, Grafton Street:
Blimey.
And down the road…

Everything. As It Happens.
That is depressing

Were the clothes free?
Idiot clothes horses — if shops can afford to sell items at half price then they were making too much off you in the 1st place. Are their lives that empty that shopping makes up for a lack of excitement ?
Someone has to keep the economy going while we are at home having a good time.
Ah here, none of that. There always is loads of them, there is some Chinese celebration soon (not their new year yet though) which involves giving presents to friends and family. Or else it’s because they don’t celebrate christmas and don’t mind camping out while the Irish are on a holiday
East Asians have an unhealthy obsession with western designer brands. Friend of mine who lives in Singapore says he regularly sees local women in shopping centres haranguing their husbands/boyfriends for prada/Gucci handbags. Very depressing stuff. Yunno as human beings we’re capable of so much bett…oh look shoes half price!
Don’t think it’s just an East Asian thing. If you look hard enough, there are a fair few white-skinned European looking peoples in the photographs.
They are all ‘Irish’. RTE’s News showed them all being sworn in as Citizens recently. Get used to it.
We will soon be like London, 45% native and 55% foreign.
I’d rather the country was 99% “foreign” than 10% you.
I guess you are “Irish” too.
CHeck your Maths too…..
This conception of “Irishness” being a static monolithic thing is wrong. I’m Irish, but please don’t presume to speak for me Slab…I suppose that means I’m not a real Irishman in your eyes?
Look at the pictures….Irish people obviously don’t do sales, but our new Citizens do.
I was’nt speaking for you Mick. We are only as Irish as the Paddy inside. That just depends on where we are in the world.

what hellish existance these people must live in, always competing to be the first to purchase and be seen whatever the ‘fashion houses’ (made in bangladesh by a six year old tat) tell them to. go for a walk in the Pheonix park, Rounstone beach, look at the trees or something..
They were all queuing for the sale at the dentists later. It started at 2.30.
Ah the old ones are the best ones…
BTW Broadsheet, any particular reason my comment was deleted? I just commented that a lot of the shoppers appeared to be Asian. Boring comment? Probably, but I didn’t mean anything bad by it…
Maybe your comment was “a static monolithic thing”……heh!
You’d think they were giving stuff away for free. Ridiculous.
did anyone buy anything in BT? Bunch of morons either way – I want, I want, I want!!!
I’d rather be seen coming out of a porn shop than caught queuing for a sale…. jaysus!
