Now is the time, the time in Ireland where we need to stand up as a people and get rid of all that ‘anti-banter’ and ‘anti-craic’ we see around us. We are nation famous for the craic and that happy go lucky attitude… The “ah sure it’s only the one”, “would ya go way outta that” attitude. the only country where “Would ya ever fuck off!” can be in reply to an unbelievable piece of good news or an instance in which case you didn’t just… “ever fuck off” the consequences would be only dire depending on intonation. It was never the drink or the attitude, it was just our way!
It is now that I welcome you to the official website of the unofficial “Society for the Prevention of Anti-Banter”. A new non-government society, for the people, by the people, where the manifesto is decided by you. It is us that has the control to make sure this country returns to righteous place on this god forsaken planet. That righteous place being the top!
Ok… so we are an unofficial society, but who is to say we can’t make a difference or have a voice? Or at least have some fun in trying! We can all be politicians. All it is is an idea that gets put into practice. The more voices the louder we are!
We are the only nation that provides international “greenzone’s” aka ‘The Irish Pub’. Be it a ‘James Joyce’, a ‘Delaney’s’, a ‘Keogh’s’, a ‘McSorely’s’ whatever the name, no matter where in the world its is an establishment of fun, warmth, embracement and all round banter, shelter for everyone, a place to come relax (or not), jump on tables (or not) and meet people, or have the quiet drink in the corner. It is a sad state of affairs that our international publican outposts see more banter now than we do here on this fair isle.
It saddens us here in the department that we have lost touch with our roots in the recent downturn, or as some would argue in the Celtic Tiger years that saw our demise as we lost touch with reality.
It changes here and now. With your help. So pop on the kettle, have a good auld cuppa with your mates and contribute, post pictures, write our future. Be positive and good things will happen and if not at least we’ll have a bit of craic doing trying!
Come on, get the finger out and remember. We, the Irish, are the dog’s bollix!
