Yes go on, blame the wife on camera but i wet my like you would not go home and blame your wife to her face, she would give you a bang on the ear with the broom and you would not get any dinner for 5 days
Love your videos, CR, thanks. Been meaning to message to say that for the last few months the sound quality has been quite poor. There's a strange reverb going on that makes some of them quite hard to hear. Bit like listening through a pringles can. I just watched one from 8mo ago that's perfect, it's definitely a more recent development, not sure exactly when it started though. I first noticed it less than 2mo ago.
RTÉ and An Post both been state owned companies are going to stick up for one another. No one in their right mind would agree to those boxes. Such an easy target for vandals. Honestly, the cheek of the late Jim Fahy to suggest otherwise.
‘Tis shocking-- And the young lads from the town could Come out and lift there mail ……. Like 200 yards is outrageous. In Africa they have to walk 10 mile For a drop of water .
Progress they said, the donkey in my field could not stop laughing for weeks, he would remind me every evening and morning as I brought him his breakfast at his nightcap how funny though this was, Then he would say to me as I walked away, them posh city people at UnPost think that I am a smartass, Yes he was a smart donkey, he never smoked and only drank in moderation at the weekends
I have a serious complaint to make, and it is all those local people who are complaining about having to walk a short distance to collect their mail, don't they know that the walk will do them good also they will get some fresh air into their lungs. It will also get them to come away from watching TV, it will also give them less time to lean over the boundary fence to argue with their neighbors. Those people are spoilt but they do not know this, Some years ago my brother worked in a place called Mtwara which is on the border of Mozambique, A letter would take 3 months or more to arrive and that was if it had not been stolen, a phone call would only happen 2 times a pear, it cost £1 per minute to make that call, Yes those good farming people in this place in Galway are spoilt rotten, they want the postman to deliver their mail, open their letters, read the content of those letters, put the kettle on, make a cut of tea then wash up before he leaves the farmer house, This is not on and I object to their reckless behavior on the most strongest terms
Yes there is still hundreds of boxes still in use you will see them dotted around Rural roads . An post actually had to sell them for a fee because of high demand . The have a modern day version out now called delivery box which is very popular as parcels can fit in , look around they are everywhere
My uncle has one of these boxes at the bottom of his lane, his mail still delivered to it. He lost the key for the lock a long time ago, takes the mail out through the top slot no problem.
@@rocon86 cool i wouldn’t think he removes mail from slot as it is very thin. If you lift the lid there is basically another lid which is the part with the slot so the postie can put mail in while it’s locked . Most people don’t bother with any lock at all
Old Ireland will always be a rural Catholic country. I am born and raised in England but my people are Irish and we always went to the old country every summer. We always looked forward to seeing the green fields and mountains of Ireland and the peat fires burning.
RTE even then trying to blame the residents for not wanting the box, then the typical backtracking by an post 'it was voluntary' sure it was...
Imagine having that technology thrust upon you in the late 80s
😂😂😂
Frightening
Very good..🤣🤣🤣
They wouldn't believe you if you told them the crack in Ireland these days. :(
craic
This was an big thing and fishing rods
👍
IT WASN'T VOLUNTARY AND IT DOESN'T WORK! THE END
It was her who agreed to it lol pure irish🤣
She who must be obeyed.
In eireann fado twas always the wife's fault whenever things went wrong 😕
Yes go on, blame the wife on camera but i wet my like you would not go home and blame your wife to her face, she would give you a bang on the ear with the broom and you would not get any dinner for 5 days
I didn't agree to it! 'twas herself that agreed!
Down with that sort of thing!!
Careful now !

Some craic if his smoke fell into it and burnt the whole lot😎
These videos are gold. Go raibh míle maith agat
When you visit Ireland you come to realise that Father Ted was not a comedy about Ireland but a documentary.
A great bunch of lads
He nearly took out the cameraman with the mail box.
Our forefathers didn´t take siege in the GPO for this..........travesty.
They were the Great times 👏👏👏😁😁
‘Twas the Wife and the young fellas Fault
They’re too High and too small
When mail goes missing all you get from A post is the mother of all run arounds
My auntie used to own a guesthouse in ballivaughan , excuse me if I have spelt it wrong 👍
Down with that sort of thing!
‘Tis shocking--
And the young lads from the town could
Come out and lift there mail …….
Like 200 yards is outrageous.
In Africa they have to walk 10 mile
For a drop of water .
If you are elderly, half a mile is a long walk. So less of your sarcasm.
@@fromireland8663
Get a scooter
Fr Ted essential mimics Irish life.
That's the point really
Ireland was literally a poor catholic nation ran by old men so yeah father ted was more than satire back then haha. We really were a show haha
So they posted the key back to the box lol
This episode of Last of the Summer Whine is a bit shite.
How come all farmes use suit jackets?
This fella is a gentleman farmer.

Put that Jack back, in the box!😊 Only a criminal would implement such a scheme.
We have a tradition down the country that whenever something goes wrong thattis always the Wfe's Fault.😂
@5:55 a young Robert De Niro 🤣
Letter boxes in area there was no Post Office.
These boys are right..
2:38 Early inspiration for Arthur Matthews and Graham Linahan 🤣
If you think this is bad wait until McRedmond is finished with An Post.
The boxes look like the dog shit boxes that's about now 😂
Oh it's terrible 😂
2:42 Haha Class.
Jasus, hed never be a keeper 🤣
When people still got mail.
Meanwhile farmers in South Armagh…
You wouldn’t want to opening strange boxes by the roadside at that time in South Armagh .
Blame the old wife lol
They were good times do
...and the Earth is flat.
Does it still exist?
I've never seen them
Yes there is still hundreds of boxes still in use you will see them dotted around Rural roads . An post actually had to sell them for a fee because of high demand .

Brilliant sure wasn’t life so cool back then.
Kinda ugly mail bucket's imo

Poor auld harmless goms
How offensive can you be?
Always makes me laugh how backward this country was before the 2000s lol
Yeah like affordable houses, two parent households, etc.
it was heaven compared to the hell hole it has become

@D dR in my 50s now and I have great memories from the 70s and 80s and the 90s I think people were less greedy and more selfless then.
@@72mossy The people in most parts of Ireland still have respect for religion particularly in the north.
"whats your view on these boxes?"
"NO."
they dont make these kinda guys anymore
Yahoo did the same to me
