Hmm.
I reckon Val had drank more pints than there are counties in Ireland before filming this.
Another classic example of Val's transvestite leanings.
Val's mildly amusing enough..Why he does this is a mystery to me, he's also one of the least funny people online. He has these illusions that people don't get his 'funny stories' when in fact they're so see-through and childish it beggars belief. He's not funny, he's not even mildly amusing.
I tend to laugh at him rather his jokes. He can't see the difference though so it clearly illustrates how metropolitan Ireland and culchie Ireland are world's apart.
I doubt even culchies find him amusing, if you read the comments under his video uploads - they actually take this buffoon seriously.
It's another clear illustration of why Ireland is utterly fucked.

I mean, you know he's joking here, right? -

It's true that it doesn't help that we're an English speaking country but it's a bit late to cry over that spilt milkI tend to laugh at him, not with him.
I think that account is also frequently used by Declan to drum up some activity.
If Ireland still had her language, then she likely wouldn't be as deep in the shit as she is.
The Finnish language is a blessing for us: it keeps the savages out of our country and off into yours.
Example: on Monday last an advert for TV was shot out in our courtyard.
The finished product was broadcast last night for the first time (a yogurt ad) in Finnish.
Every ad on Finnish TV is either made in Finland or else changed to Finnish in the studio.
All our national products and services are offered in Finnish first.
This keeps lots of people in jobs and spending within the country borders.
If Ireland had the Irish language, then things might well have fared batter than they have.
The fact that English is your first language has severe consequences at your incoming borders.

Did you see the video of them dumping fake fugees in a Gaeltacht?But that doesn't mean it's completely dead.
If Ireland were to start teaching in the Irish language from an early age with the kids then maybe it could be dragged up to at least second language status. Which they say it is already what with news in Gaelic and all your street signage in both languages. After the first world war and Finland's uprising in 1917, the Finns removed all of the street signs (which were then in Russian first - one hundred years of occupation, and Sweden second - eight hundred years of occupation after King Gustav.
Now they're all Finnish first and Swedish second. Some wonderful little hamlets and satellite towns east of Helsinki use Swedish first and Finnish second. Places like Turku, Hango, Porvoo, and Fiskars (the famous orange handled scissors and industrial tool fabricators) which is built on a river and is so beautiful it'd make you cry. Wooden buildings that date from the 1800s through to today are still standing.

We also have Swedish TV, but I don't tune into it - same with Estonian, Russian, and Lapland.
I enjoy checking out Lappish news on the Oddosat channel which is shared with YLE News every evening for Sami people. They speak a different strain of Finnish. It's recognizably different to regular Finnish to me, just as with Estonian language. The old Hanseatic League left it's mark on all of the capitals along the former eastern front, including Lithuania, and Latvia.
If languages like Sami are still trending, then there's no reason why Irish couldn't try to be the same.
I've never seen anyone in Dublin or Ireland turn their head to heed the news in Gaelic.

Anyway, a revival of Gaeilge isn't really the answer (it'd be quicker storming Leinster House)
