Blame Brendan.
He’s the Michael Bay of wedding videos.

Everything. As It Happens.
Washerwoman’s hill?
Lovely day for a wedding all the same.
BUT IT IS MY SPECIAL DAY, WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO, AF?
get over yourself
School pick up traffic makes my life hell. Is there an address on the van so I can send him a thank you note.
God forbid the school pick up traffic be delayed.
Agreed.
I really enjoyed that comment ^_^
Ya, well done van guy!
brilliant
Just for you jdawg, a quality p*ss take from a couple of weeks back

Haha!! Thanks :)
Well, done to the employed folks who replied.
No one cars about the school crowd, its the rest of us in traffic working to pay taxes that are made late by the numpty in a van.
School pick up traffic; first world problems. Also your children aren’t darlings they’re a scourge and a coddled one at that. We’ve lost our religion and beliefs so we worship ourselves now via our own spawn. Cosseted demons being transported in military grade vehicles to play(no running aloud) in padded schools and playgrounds, represents everything that is wrong with the world. But of course it’s the professional photographer who’s everything wrong with the world in your eyes, unless of course he was videoing your kids, in which case you’d willingly bludgeon anyone standing in the way. (end of rant).
*allowed*
I’m glad you corrected yourself there :-) Nothing takes away the power of a rant more than poor grammar.
(I’ll be taking it with the pinch of salt I hope is intended)
Rather cossetted demon kids than victims of clerical rape.
Padded schools still better than industrial ones.
Playgrounds beat mass graves.
Last paragraph is good though ;)
Sorry should have said beliefs was to incorporate a
…social beliefs also, as in believing in a society of all, not just the contents of your SUV
…social beliefs as in believing in a society for everyone not just the contents of you SUV
it was all good in fairness. i do not think chris was advocating a return to use of the birch
Are you trying to prove Broadsheet’s version of Godwin’s Law?
Do you feel better now, Chris?
Fine rant!
“no running aloud”
Does this mean they have to run quietly?
Some good publicity for Brendan there…

It’s not even 2 O’Clock yet.
I remember school days being significantly longer back in my day.
Me too.
Although we did get a half day when they bombed the North Strand.
Don’t think they fixed the clontarf road after that.
They let us off for the Eucharistic Congress. I only went to hear John McCormack sing.
No such luck when we had to row down the strand to school on a Hovis bread board during the 54 floods!
“But its their culture boss”…etc.
I’ve met your man. He’ll do the video and the photos and play the bagpipes and do the disco for your wedding all at the same time. What a guy!
A real legend, bet he walked to school himself when he was a wee lad.
haha
I bet he has a great collection of clip art frames and borders.
flaps
true.
Bravo Brendan. I think we can all let them have their moment in the sun. I’m sure you can happily revert to the mundane school pick-up routine on Monday.
Also, school books are not getting heavier. They will not be kidnapped or run-over if the poor wee divils are sent out on foot or bike.
Mommy will be late for her laughter yoga appointment! The au pair will be wondering where we are at all, and might be running up a phone bill at home without mommys supervision
how do you know af is a “mommy”? how presumptuous. maybe af junior has two daddies.
Sean o rourke sent a reporter to Tallaght and templogue for a voxpop on the by-election. Issues affecting the voters piece. In Tallaght, it was homelessness, water and housing were the complaints. In templogue, it was foxes in gardens and not be able to get off the roundabout because of school traffic.
I well believe this to be 100% accurate.
That is unreal! Was that today? I wouldn’t mind having a listen to that.
It was Wednesday. It really was jaw dropping. An extraordinary 10 minutes.
Whats important to the people of Dublin South West.

foxes in gardens are a disgrace
Is that what clowns look like these days?
Won’t someone please think of the children!
Their schoolbags weigh a ton.
Burton would have a micky fit if he turned up to a water protest with that camera.
On that point, did I miss something or BS did not do an item on Burton’s Camera Phone shambles?
No, you didn’t miss it.
This post seriously annoys me for some reason.
First, so what if there is a slight delay because somebody wanted their wedding filmed.
Secondly, school pick up traffic causes unending bad parking, illegal parking, and huge amounts of chaos. Is school pick up traffic more important? I would bet you think it does.
Thirdly, why is he a clown?
Why highlight that there are 2 limos, and beige? What’s the problem here?
A total get over yourself post. I could spend the rest of my life taking pictures of “clowns” slowing down traffic.
Ugh. Had to vent.
Ah here, come on, he’s dead right on the ‘beige’ limos. Enough to make one sick!
I walked or cycled to school back when there were Paedos we didn’t know about. Now everyone gets driven to school when there’s Paedos we do know about.
Kids need that bit of freedom to make their way to and from school. Some parents are far too precious. They’ll raise adult babies afraid of their own shadows.
In my day the Paedos were IN school.
they still are. don’t worry
Two things.do you have children? And do you have any evidence to support your statement.kids are driven to school for many reasons.For starters 4 and five year olds cannot cycle to school on their own.
His video camera is from the 70s. Doesn’t he know this can be done now with an iPad?
This man needs to buy a go pro or two.
Could have been worse. Could have been a funeral.
A knacker one even. He wouldn’t be taking no pics then.
