- What will the people of Dublin give up for the forty days of fasting and abstinence during Lent?
As lent approaches RTÉ News took to the streets of Dublin to find out what sacrifices people, young and old, plan to make during the season of fasting and sacrifice. Lenten intentions include refraining from the consumption of sweets, chocolates, sugar, biscuits, cigarettes, alcohol, tea, coffee, milk, and biting your nails.
Sweets and chocolates and cakes and biscuits.
One man feels he has nothing to give up as he does not drink or smoke or eat sweets.
One young woman plans to give up boys and another woman plans to abstain from sex.
Most of the smokers plan to give up smoking but are not optimistic about staying off them.
An RTÉ News report broadcast on 20 February 1985. The reporter is Alasdair Jackson. - Zábava
“I’m a bit heavy handed on the biscuits I’m afraid.”
Yeah those CBD biscuits are addictive LOL
That was the best comment 🤣
Love that. Me too, sir. Me too.
Aren't we all love, aren't we all?
Mood:
Giving up drinking- “are you not a bit young for that” well tea and coffee…. Lol
I laughed at that too.
Nice save
she looks about 25 lol
She way too young. It’s much better to wait until you’re older to be giving up drinking.
@@celsius418 young people shouldn't drink. all young people are usually sad, and will drink themselves stupid to treat their depression. If they spent that time not getting blackout drunk, then they wouldn't live a life that were so miserable. Things would be better. Drinking is for when you're old and you cant die yet but you hate the young people and the way they wear their pants.
“This is more or less the last cigarette you’ll have?” “Nah I’ll have a couple more today: I’ve got a 20 box”. Every smoker in history can relate to this conversation.
I gave up giving up years ago . I can relate to the conversation and you made me laugh ! 🙃☘️
@@suzannelacy8093 you’re paying hundreds of pounds a year to reduce your lifespan
😂😂
100% lol
When I've quit I've always said it's my last pack, not my last cig. That way I try to ration it out as much as possible, only smoke half or even a quarter of a cig. Really helps with the withdrawals and has been successful for me.
She gave up sugar as a child, but is still the sweetest lady ever
What an adorable thing to comment
@@theimprobableone8635 what a kind reply to make

She's probably only in her 40s or something 🤣

The people creeping up behind to hopefully be on camera is priceless.
Rare thing back then
My thought exactly when watching this. And all of them then ran home to tell their families "I'm on the telly!"
@Dave Gonzalez Where’s this aggression coming from? Other guy wasn’t even being mean

Old man in the hat never did anything wrong in his life.
His like me doesn't drink, smoke, eats sugar. Probably a virgin too who knows.
Fair play to him the mad yoke
that guy was straight edge, no nonsense XD
I saw another video of him and he said he loved a crafty wank, putting a bet down at the races, shagging whores, and knocking his wife about. Luckily this interviewer didn’t bring those topics up though.
„old man with a hat“ ah yea that one
"I'm heavy handed on the biscuits." I felt that.
fascinating hearing music from that era being played in public in that era...
for sure! I was amazed when I heard that song playing
I Want To Know What Love Is by Foreigner. A hit for them in 1984, so a very contemporary song for the period of this video, which would have been around February 1985.
Now watch this get copyright struck
its absolutely fascinating when i go to a bar in this era and hear music from this era being played in the bar
Now we have twerking :)))))))) OMG!
So much charm. This is a really beautiful film to watch since you can see how everyone is happy and simply going about their business, only to stop for a quick interview, just for the fun of it.
Happy? it looks so depressed and gloomy, plus the smoking and drinking problem
@@gen6473 A bunch of smiling, laughing people looks depressed and gloomy to you?
@Teamgeist How do you know?
@Teamgeist That’s not evidence that everyone was less happy on average back then. That’s just geopolitics. By that logic everyone was happier during the Pax Romana or some other relatively peaceful time.
People weren't so worried about being ripped apart on social media as a meme for saying the wrong thing.
It’s not just that “I want to know what love is” is playing in the background, it’s that the cassette is a bit warped from being played so much and it warbles in the player, I love it 😊
It's enough distortion to avoid a copyright strike. AI can't hear it.
Bit slower, too
I’m not Christian but I practice lent. Every Lent, I always give up my wife and those are the best 40 days of the year.
"giving up drinking tea and all of that" nice save 😂
Everyone in Ireland when confronted with a TV camera: "I don't drink!"

For a nation of big drinkers Ireland has the highest proportion of non drinkers in Europe, or it did until recently.
not all irish people are drunks, a lot of them are in AA- Colin Quinn
Big drinking is a city thing and in the countryside it is not as big a thing. And heavy drinking is done mostly by young men.
Also a lot of Irish people see what drinking does to their husbands, brothers, sons etc so don’t drink as they can see the problems it can cause.
Surprisingly the Irish are not really big drinkers measured in litres of alcohol per annum.
@@MrBlaxjax very true. We are more like sprinters in the sense we have a skin full on one night a few times for per month. As opposed to other nations that have a marathon approach where they may have a continuous steady few everyday. The latter has higher intake per annum overall, but with far less falling about singing in the street which gives the impression of Irish Drunkenness.
As addictive as they are, giving up cigarettes for 40 days is _hardcore._
It's how I quit smoking for good, cold turkey, last year.
Rustin Wilson, Well done, man!
@@RestingJudge Great job you legend :)
@@RestingJudge I'm proud of you random internet person, keep it up!

Man, it was a new song then.
Awesome comment
I like how alcohol is called "the drink".
Giving it the "the" gives the drink much Irish reverence.
But "the hospital" is just "hospital"...
@@hrundibakshi6830 so true so funny 😂😂
Got to say we say that in Scotland, and I’m sure they say it in England too
Unfortunately it's a big problem in Ireland and UK as well as drugs, Dublin is such a dump and people are saying it's the best city 🤣😂
More frequent use of the definite article is common in forms of English spoken by Celtic folk likely influenced by Irish, Gaelic, Welsh etc, which use it like that - it's usually treated as a familiarity marker :)
0:29 i love that the young un was caught out with underage drinking, and immediately backpedalled with a lie!
“Huh? Oh i mean giving up drinking... tea and that”. 😂
Almost a botch, but she pulled off the clean finish in the end! Looking forward to the next episode lads!
She's a disappointment to the whole nation... to not embrace her underaged alcoholism.. what a shame.
@@JD_13 He recovered pretty well tbf. if I got caught out admitting to underage drinking while being recorded at that age I would've panicked haha

I, too, am heavy-handed on the biscuits
These people are real. This could have been recorded yesterday, they are so relatable and I can easily imagine having a flowing conversation with them. History is much closer to us than most take time to ponder
True
This actually could not have been filmed yesterday as it was filmed 30 or so years ago
@@Pactastic042 better people back then
It really connects you to the times you weren't around for when you hear "I Want To Know What Love Is" on the radio exactly how you hear it now in 2022... Honestly, I know how dumb I sound right now, but it's surreal watching a time I didn't exist in while a very familiar song plays in the background. Quite, quite surreal.
Yep
That's not dumb at all Liam. I wish you were there. It was a very fun time before phones and tech.
I felt the same way. I was born two years after that song was released, and somehow it anchored the time period of the video for me. Before I heard that, you could have told me this was from 1965 or 1975 and I would have believed you.
@@509Gman interesting....as I was in my 20's when this was made, it was very familiar to me yet also strangely foreign since the styles can only be of the 1980s in my eyes, (on the younger people, not the older!) having lived it. But since it was decades ago now it seems foreign. Weird that a time I was at home in now seems a bit odd. But, I would go back in a heartbeat. It was a better time I think.
not dumb at all, very special.
"Drinking, no i mean tea and coffee" :D
He's drinking mountain dew baby ;)
I would say cigarettes, alcohol and rollerblading...

Well keep in mind too, they're probably not making it in the video (especially one that's lasted this long) if they're mean

“you givin’ up the sugary treats fer Lent?” “oh why sure”
“you givin’ up the cigarettes for Lent?” “bloody hell naur”
everyone already knows it's incredibly addicting, it doesn't stop them so.
This video made me feel sad for their situation. Makes you glad the knowledge and awareness of addiction has improved in the last 40 years to allow more informed choices.
@@camerong00dman I don't think it has improved tbh you still seeing ppl doing ketamine etc on the streets
@@stockpistol I agree but I do think people can make better informed choices now and that is what I feel is most important. Even if their choice is to consume highly addictive drugs they have the knowledge of the likely consequences of these choices.

Covid what is really going on?
=======================
Covid is the SARS-CoV-2 Virus
But the SARS-CoV-2 Virus has not been purified AND isolated AND genome sequenced end-to-end anywhere in the world.
Pointless having a Test Swab as there is nothing to compare the test result too.
PCR Test cannot identify a Virus.
PCR Test is testing for nucleic acid which we all have in us.
PCR Test cycled 45 times amplifies the sampe more than 1 trillion times.
PCR is a process, not a test. "PCR does not verify any disease." Kary Mullis inventor of PCR.
All PCR test results are invalid.
Lateral Flow Antigen Test cannot identify a Virus.
All Lateral Flow Antigen Test results are invalid.
The only way to identify an individual Virus is a Spectroscopy Test.
However as the SARS-CoV-2 Virus has not been isolated anywhere in the world there is nothing to compare the Swab Test sample too.
Thus pointless having a Spectroscopy Test.
Conclusion -- There is no SARS-CoV-2 airborne Virus.

Injection Contaminated?

Pointless having a Test Swab for the SARS-CoV-2 Virus that has not been isolated anywhere in the world.
Test Swab and Injection contain the Bio-agent.
Bio-agent is a protein that will change the DNA of every person Test Swabbed and/or Injected.
People must wake up to what the real agenda is with the airborne Virus that has not been isolated anywhere in the world!

Transhumanism -- Neural Lace
This will be the outcome of the Plandemic.
Sheeple must open their eyes.
World Economic Forum -- Great Reset
"You will own nothing and be happy"
Agenda 21 -- Depopulation
-------
Face Mask Contaminated -- Graphene
Hand Gel Contaminated - Graphene
5G signal can activate the Graphene and shred your lungs from within.
Face Mask is filling peoples lungs with Graphene.
5G is a Dual Communication Network and Weapon System.
5G signal can be focused on a defined area called Beam Forming for example the brain and/or the lungs where the Graphene will accumulate within the body.
Thus Graphene on the Test Swab and in the Injection and the Contaminated Face Mask enters the body either the brain and/or the lungs and can be activated by the 5G signal at any time.
Tragically activating the Graphene left inside the body will kill the person.
Is this all part of the Depopulation plan?
-------
-------
Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon.
Cannot provide the exact details of what it is or my comment will be auto-deleted.
Primer and Catalyst.
Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon on the Test Swab and in the Injection is the Primer.
Spike Protein in the Common Cold Virus is the Catalyst threat will activate the Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon.
Nasal Spray Contaminated With The Common Cold?
The Common Cold is one of the group of approximately 55 Coronaviruses.
When people catch the Common Cold over the autumn and winter 2021-2022 Cytokine Storm death within 28 days.
People must understand how the mRNA escapes the protective lipid once in the body, for the mRNA to attach itself to the ribosomes.
That's a rather important part.
If mRNA gets chemically damaged in any way, it can possibly tell your body to make the wrong protein.
We are in the calm before the storm.

Contact what used to be PHE with a FOI request, they will tell you they have no information on it.
It has already been stated by at least one therapy manufacturer ,Moderna, that they never received the full genome sequence of this virus and had to guess the full sequence from a data base on a computer.
Just because there is a sequence for a virus does not prove that it causing illness in people.
That is the ultimate point of isolating a virus correctly and has never been done.

Accurately detailed, though you should also add that, "Airborne" is not even possible for rona...
Sunlight alone neutralises 99.99+% of all known viral entities upon immediate exposure, there are many other factors that also cause neutralisation but the sun is the most predominant,, (In layman..) all viruses can be traced to a small and very specific set of family viral entities, each family having certain fixed characteristics of which regardless of natural mutagenic possess can 'never' change or exceed its original base family characteristics,..
Of the apparent hundreds of thousands of "viruses" documented, there are at most just three to four family viral entities that have allegedly demonstrated the potential ability to go "Airborne", they are INCREDIBLY rare, they require a very specific set of environmental and opportune conditions to do so,..
And Rona is absolutely and demonstrably NOT a member of any such family with the characteristics to do so.
Rona loves to mutate, it's what that family is most well known for, but is it known for being deadly (No!), can it become more than it is.. (No!), is it a member of any of the viral families with the characteristics to become (A) Deadly and (B) Airborne,.. No! and No!
In fact the Rona family has been existing symbiotically with mankind for many thousands of years (Some would even say millions!) and modern clinical practices figured out around a century ago how to treat it,.. Just like any other common cold,.. Vitamins, Fluids and Rest!
Though the above has been documented and taught within the field of Germ Theory for almost three hundred years, one is now suddenly a "conspiracy theorists" for acknowledging it, regardless of ones professional experience or credentials,...
If one does not pretend that nearly three hundred years of documented Germ Theory has been rewrote in less than three months, just to suit a political narrative, then one is being swiftly censored.
It is good to see that the general public are finally doing their research and discovering what none bought off and corrupted experts have been silenced for trying to say/inform(!)
Thank you for doing the research and for being the voice of countless silenced professionals and experts.
Thank you!

What a lovely glimpse back in time...
I like how curious the people are and how genuine the answers are
I think it's interesting to consider the ways we still do stuff like this but it's moved online. The curiosity about the mundane lives of people you'd never otherwise interact with is still there.
I grew up in Dublin in the 80’s as a kid Bluebell. I moved to England in the early 90’s. Dubliners especially and Irish folk in general are salt of the earth. So many happy memories we were poor but everyone looked out for each other such happy memories.
Now that’s how I remember Moore St ❤️
I love watching old films like this,but I always get the sad thought that alot of the people in it are probably now dead.
Most of them I’d imagine
I think you’d be surprised how many of them are alive, don’t be sad about it, it’s natural.

I was born in the late 80s so i dont have any memory of it but it's a decade I've always been nostalgic for and end i wish i was living in right now.
It was great, everyone was pretty much broke (except union workers). But there was plenty of non union work, so you needed to work to eat and shelter then save up too do stuff. The people that worked, saved, had it made and come payday, it was time too play. People were pleasant and you could spark up a conservation just like in this video.
In Canada, everything was shut down on sundays. So you would do stuff with the family, ride a bike, bbq, then have a nice supper and get ready for another week. Always though it was fun to people watch, it just never got old, people dressed nice and took care of there appearance. During the week, pretty much no one on the streets after about 10 pm. That was in Toronto, like a ghost town.
People took advantage of the govt programs, and then people sought out secure, good pay government jobs. Thats how the corruption took off, misdirected government money enriching individuals and here you are. Its kind of better, but i dont know.
It was really sad seeing all the good things that the government had installed during the monarchy vanish. Lighthouse keepers, map makers, fish and wildlife conservation, postman looked like a army officers, zoos, real nice air ports, the british royal family was held in high regard. The police were extremly trusted and well mannered.
Ireland was a great country to live in back then. Sure we were poor but happy. There was nothing neighbours wouldn't have done for one another. The memories of watching Ireland in the world cup and everyone was so proud to be Irish. Children playing outside all day and the crime rate was relatively low compared to today.
I'm the same, born in 1985 but have great nostalgia for Ireland in this decade. The world is shite now.
@@tommydowling9 You are all fucking crazy you know that? Sitting here and acting like the 80’s was some magical kingdom is the saddest thing ever
@@michaelbrownlee9497 Forgetting about the abuse by nuns and priests of the Catholic church are ye?
Foreigner’s I Want To Know What Love Is blasting in the background - released in 1984, would have been a recent hit 😄
Rip Old Ireland
i remember streets like that when I was growing up. it hurts to watch!
Diversity destroys nations
That last lad is incredibly pretty! Wow!
“I’m heavy handed on the biscuits I’m afraid” 😂 so relatable!
It's so weird to think that 1985 was close to 40 years ago.
And for them in the 1980s, "40 years ago" was the 1940s!
I still think of 80s as basically 10 years ago. I remember asking my mum how old a certain song on the radio was (walk of life by dire straights) and her saying 10 years ago. Time is weird.
@@KantianParadox it seems that time has stagnated.
My Daughter sticks to it when she gives things up for lent XXX she has will power ❤
It was the most obvious answer
The brogues we hear are so lovely.
That was me in the background walking down Moore St. to get me Doc Martins in the markets.
0:50 now this really is the 80's.. Everyone is asking what love is!
Real Irish folks. Love them. ❤️
No one ever lent me any thing
So I've nothing to give up
Seems like such a different time in the best ways
1:18 "I think I'll give up the boys this year for Lent" 😂😂😂
Interviewer - "Will you find the difficult?"
Her - "Not too hard" 😂😂😂
And that smile on the lady's face behind her is priceless
This is a great little time capsule
I was born in 1985. Watching this I feel like I'm 108 for some reason. Holy cow, tech develops so fast!
"I wanna know what love is" playing on the radio in the background, as a new release...
It's amazing how much smoking has gone down since then. Priced out of it and more knowledge of the health risks I spose.
It’s been phased out by vaping as well, I’m afraid
0:58 “I wanna know what love is!!” 🥰🎵🎶
THIS is what you tube should all be about.
Beautiful clip
I was born in '84. I can't believe this was recorded in my lifetime. Some of them look like they came out of the 60s.
Now no where father Ted got all his gags
Mockers End Up In Hell In The Next Life. Glory Be!!! ☘ 🇮🇪
RIP Dermot Morgan aka Father Ted.
Always respect how difficult life is. That’s what I got from the first woman
The title of this video should be "people lying in 1985."
xD
🤣🤣🤣🤣 true. I wondered how come they were all so virtuous!
@@jackiedelvalle probably because they believed in something higher than themselves
Wonderful people, different times...
The last kid looks so much like teenagers I know today, pretty insane seeing someone who looks like you 40 years ago
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Nice to see everyone more happy and laid back chilled not like these crazy times we live in now!
Yes ppl were very chilled. High rates of poverty, divorce and abortion illegal, single moms ostracized and locked into Magdalene laundries, the Catholic Church having a tight grip on society, very few opportunities for the working classes to ever go to uni, Life expectancy was a whole 10 years lower than now, Northern Ireland basically on fire, good times.
@@florianluo8131 I hope my comment didn't offend you I didn't mean to offend anyone I'm from a different generation and a different country once again all apologise hopefully times are better for you and yours these days!
@@davemustaki134 you really need to begin standing up for yourself mate.
Poverty numbers are probably still the same today.
Technology fools us (So many people barely make enough to survive, yet you can see them holding smartphones or driving cars they bought with a loan)
Abortion nowadays is not illegal and should never be, but it's used by many like taking out the trash every other day.
Many more people from all classes can go to universities but because of that, no one's left to do the important work (farms, agriculture etc). As a result, big firms have bought almost every acre around the globe, and they feed us mutated stuff.
Also, people who would've have been great farmers, or inspiring public figures or artists, study subjects they're not even interested in, only because society and family told them that that's the right choice
(Technology is the future so everyone needs to study computers. Doctors are cool so the kid needs to study for 12 years, and we can then brag at family tables)
Life expectancy can only increase and that's for a lot of reasons.
You wanna know one of them? Houses today are like life chargers (less noise, less heat loss, more room and light, better beds, cleaner water and all that)
What I'm saying is you should always listen, but never rush an apology.
First do the research and if you find yourself to be wrong, then take it like a champ.
Things were not easy back then, but yes people were "more happy and laid back chilled".
Have a good one everybody!
@@gr.b.u.m all I said was I didn't mean to offend anyone you don't have to have a go at me but thanks for your inciting views and thoughts
I think your responses just proved what you were trying to say in your original comment 😂
Thanks for uploading. Was great to see. 🎞
So funny seeing the streets I now frequent in this video. O’Connell, Henry, Moore. The FX Buckley on Moore street is what had me recognize it, still there!
I don't really know an exact reason, but this video is awesome. Awesome I say!
Can't believe it's already been 12 years...
Reminds me if how people were when I was a child.
I grew up in Dublin in the 80s so I love these videos, thanks for posting 👍
That's nice.
Where’s all the non white people in this video?
@@dylanmurphy9389 Africa
“No more drink, Father. You said you’d offer it up for our Lord.”
“ARL’D?! WHO’S ARL’D?!”
this made me nostalgic i was 10 then
It feels like it should be 1962 but then you hear “I wanna know what love isssssss” in the background and it immediately is a different world.
This was great - thanks!
1985 sounds like so long ago, I'm '95.
ur fingers still work at that age?
are you really?
'95 means 1995 aka born in' 95. You guys in the replies are as slow as a wet week.
@@pulsechainarmy1274 he means born 95
@@KittySofttpaws The twonk needs to be a bit more clearer. What else does "I'm 95" mean to the average person?
The kids looked like 1985, but the older folks looked about 1955. :)
Man, the 80s & 90s really were the 20th century, the 1900s
Those last two are stunners
This video is incredible. I’m curious to know how many of these people remember this conversation
0:12 wow this old dude is me now..
God bless these souls
I was 15 in 1985. I smoked, too. Watching this now, it seems odd that almost everyone smoked back then. We were allowed to smoke inside stores, inside restaurants, even elevators and airplanes! There weren’t as many laws back then.
I learned to smoke at age 13 in the junior high bathroom. 😜
Oh and we had a smoking section at our high school where we could smoke between classes.
It's so cool to see when there being some filming around you was a novelty, people pop up like curious cats 😂 nowadays people will attack you or start twerking when the cameras on them
The Persian language sure is beautiful.
Where is the Persian in this video?
Love seeing footage from the year I was born!
oh man that FX Buckley banner... brings back memories from walking down Dublin streets
