DID YA' EVER. Memories of a Dublin Childhood

[TheSnugPub]

Born and grew up in the heart of The Liberties Meath St. Fished in the Grand Canal basin ( The Naller) and The Green for the "ginkers" lived in Marrowbone Lane flats. Loved every second of this video except first few where the Millionaire beggar is up to his usual tricks. He is an absolute disgrace to the people who were born and rared in this precious place. Thanks for this video

[supafuckinmingster]

Enough time has passed now that these sort of pieces should be produced about the 70's and 80's............so can anyone tell me where i'd find them?

[AICXCNIKAO]

Love the poem. Resonates. Them were the days ...

[tiddlethepipes]

@AICXCNIKAO ...Thanks for the comment ...glad you liked the poem.....pat

Very nice. Thank You.

[carmel1956]

That's great. I was overcome with nostalgia as it described my own childhood to a T. I grew up in Finglas & it was just as much fun back then. We never scutted carts but plenty of lorrys. We were mad back then yet none of us never fell off or got hurt. The Saturday morning pictures at the Casino were real fun as much as taunting the dreaded usherettes, some of them were right fearsome. Stuart.

@carmel1956 Thanks for the comment.....glad it brought back a few memories for you

I'm from Ballyfermot and have been living abroad for 22 years. This video has not only brought back many fond memories but I can share these with my children. Your Dublin accent was great to hear after all these years. You have no idea how much this little video means to the many of us who had to leave. Thanks.

[Vanecek31]

oh indeed scutting was art lol  and you are very welcome

[Vanecek31]

i ,m from ballyfermot i remember scutting on the back of hennys or one the ennis horse and cart

[tiddlethepipes]

@Vanecek31

scutting was an art if you could do it without the driver noticing you

thanks for response to vid ......Bingo

[bacabu30]

Beautiful. Very poignant though. I remember collecting tadpoles as a child in the early 80's but it's against the law now to so do.

Loved this and I recognised O Connell St with the big statue. We stayed in Dublin last month.

[tiddlethepipes]

Hi Jos...The big statue is of Daniel O Connell..glad you liked the poem Pat

[josparkes1]

It is lovely Pat. I used to catch tadpoles where I lived in Suffolk UK, in the pond next door to us. I am 59 now, but I was about 7/8 then. Kids don't do that now do they.
