We all are lucky to have them frankly.

Sounds like a bit of craic to me. Although I must confess that Chang is an absolutely lethal beer (I'm pretty sure it's stronger in Thailand than the export version we get here) and I wouldn't be surprised if those lads woke up the next morning in a strange environment with some ladyboys and unplanned tattoos, a la Hangover Part II

Wow competitive fun with rules. They are so WILD!

D4 fun.

P.S
I'm sure they are nice kids.

Don’t see anything wrong with it, myself. Just a few lads blowing off a bit of “steam” while on holidays.

There’s a lot worse they could be getting up to.

I agree with this. They don't appear to be doing anyone any harm at all.

However - and I admit that this says more about me than it does about them - I would happily have them killed.

Poxiest accent you can imagine and that’s basically the only thing that makes it cringeworthy. I find it mad that this accent has a bit of prestige about it, it sounds so comical, dull and dorky. Literally as if there’s a golf ball stuck in his mouth. Nothing that can be done, it’s just an accent but really sounds so bad. I have a vaguely similar accent in how I pronounce certain words so maybe it’s why I find it grating.

There is no such thing, and such a statement just reveals discrimination against these lads with another reason as its real motivation. Accents are simply different. It all depends on what you are used to. I am sure some of those Rock boys would find a northern accent strange, or, a Kerry one for example, where I have had to do a double take sometimes as I realise that my first reaction that someone there was speaking Irish, was in fact speaking English. All accents are perfectly fine and of their place.

Eggs For Dinner · 18-11-2019 8:37am

I grew up in an area heavily populated with lads who went to Blackrock and girls who went to Mt. Anville and Foxrock. Many of them insufferable oinks and many of them really nice people. Basically, a reflection on all aspects of society.

These are privileged young men doing what young men do. If I was staying at this hotel, I'd have watched on with amusement. If it was going on 24/7, I'd be complaining to management

It's interesting why anything from either end of the social scale either amuses or irritates people and for some, it enrages them.

It's because they fear the unfamiliar, and what they don't understand. The great majority of the Irish are of an 80% middle ground group. The 10% from whichever end, promo the type of reaction you are seeing here. Nor can they help mentioning the other end of the spectrum either, as they recognise their response is the same as it would be to a story on that grouping.

Nothing but poor people think it's hilarious when people say horseplay, absolutely, splendid, carnage etc.

Nobody thinks there is anything wrong but working class people seem to find it hilarious. D18 accent is probably nails on a blackboard for alot of them too.

Sleepy · 18-11-2019 10:47am

I got forwarded this in a Whatsapp group over the weekend and really was wondering if there was something lost in translation or if I was missing something due to accent because it just sounds like exactly the sort of universal ****e young lads get up to when they're away with their mates.

The Nal · 18-11-2019 10:49am

Whats funny is the fact that he thinks this is some of the maddest shizzle of all time, to the point hes sending videos to the union when in reality its a load of tossers drinking weak beer. Its hilarious.

18-11-2019 11:11am

If this is real, I don't see the issue really. These guys are low-hanging fruit that, unlike other punch-bags on this site, no one fears. The accent is a shocker though.

Most of their parents are rich culchies who were born on farms and small towns and sent, " up to Dublin to get a job" , believe.

The accent is as much a piss take on their culture if anything, it is an identity thing. It cuts out the crap when they meet strangers. It is mostly put on.

Their mothers all started the accent thing when they first got off the train at Heuston back in the 80's and 90's. They started smothering their thick culchie brogues with their new posh south side Dublin accents. They did this to enable them to attract any middle class Doctors, Lawyers and Accountants they were trying to catch and start families with.

In fairness those poor lads never had a chance really... They're basically mongrels. Even worse they could be full culchies trying to be south side Dubs, not good. This can go very wrong when their rich professional culchie parents settled somewhere on the Northside and are sending their son to Booterstown on the Dort. Identity crises can develop which can lead to mental issues.

If anything the accent is a form of group and social tectonics. A bit like when scrotes wear English soccer jerseys, it helps them have a sense of belonging.

It’s not surprising to see people engaging in some level of physical “activity”, albeit somewhat reckless, being looked down on by users of this site.

They are so seperated from the normal majority of society that they cannot even fathom issues such as homelessnes per example as money and status is something they are given.

Have no idea how to relate to anyone outside of their enclosed sheltered existence. Ending up in positions of high influence and carrying on their existence away and far removed from the normal paddy.

Is this something to whack them with a stick about? No that's not really fair but you can do things like get rid of private schools.

I believe they inspire an attitude, pompous outlook and a feeling of "elite" which is terrible to bring into the world.

The influence on society in Ireland is detrimental as a result. Nepotism, slaps on the back and higher barriers than ever before for someone on the street.

The boys of Belvedere College have an annual “Sleep Out and Fast” that has been going on for decades at this stage and has raised hundreds of thousands of euro to help homeless charities.

While Belvedere might be on the northside the students wouldn’t be far removed from the lads in Blackrock college.

In Blackrock it’s constantly drummed into you that you’re the leaders of tomorrow and you’re better than the other plebs out there. A superiority complex is bred into you from the very start.

Well this is the greatest load of nonsense i have ever heard, the D4 accent evolved from the old anglo irish RTE accent, it has literally nothing to do with other irish people or "culchies" as you call them... you seem to have a massive chip on your shoulder about this
