Hahahaha so true it hurts. Seriously I avoid going out on weekends in England. Fights, debauchery and public urination is very commonplace.
>> ^westy:
This is shitty England on a Friday night. Loads of drunk people all over the place.
Its a shame dope is iligal , and its socially acceptable to get totally wasted every week.
Wouldn't be so bad if people only got drunk in there own homes or specific places that were away from populated areas .



don't forget ole ireland. same over there. dublin at saturday night? it's a shame.

There is an optical illusion that occurs when a person looks out to sea from the British coast whereby everything appears to be British. On a clear day the effect can carry beyond India

Dublin is in Ireland which is one of the British Isles.
It is not Great Britain, which consists of only England, Scotland and Wales. Nor is it part of the United Kingdom, which is Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
However, it is British.

That's like saying the USA is part of Canada.


No, it's like saying Canada is part of The Americas, (which it is), while still not being part of the United States of America.

Um...what part of Britain is Dublin in exactly?
Might be an idea to change the British Tag before you get slapped by an Irish man.

Well, thank you again! I don't know what I did, but I guess it's paying off now.

This is one the great songs of my childhood. Growing up, my sister and I had it a bit rough, but we always had our Irish folk songs tapes. She and I would act out all the verses to this song, and then do a little arm in arm jig during the chorus. When I picked up the guitar a few years ago, this was one of the first songs I learned. I can't believe someone Sifted it. You've made my weekend, sir.

As down the glen one Easter morn to a city fair rode I
There Armed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by
No pipe did hum, no battle drum did sound its loud tattoo
But the Angelus Bell o'er the Liffey's swell rang out through the foggy dew

Right proudly high over Dublin Town they hung out the flag of war
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Suvla or Sud-El-Bar
And from the plains of Royal Meath strong men came hurrying through
While Britannia's Huns, with their long range guns sailed in through the foggy dew

'Twas England bade our wild geese go, that "small nations might be free";
Their lonely graves are by Suvla's waves or the fringe of the great North Sea.
Oh, had they died by Pearse's side or fought with Cathal Brugha*
Their graves we'd keep where the Fenians sleep, 'neath the shroud of the foggy dew.

Oh the night fell black, and the rifles' crack made perfidious Albion reel
In the leaden rain, seven tongues of flame did shine o'er the lines of steel
By each shining blade a prayer was said, that to Ireland her sons be true
But when morning broke, still the war flag shook out its folds in the foggy dew

Oh the bravest fell, and the Requiem bell rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide in the spring time of the year
And the world did gaze, in deep amaze, at those fearless men, but few,
Who bore the fight that freedom's light might shine through the foggy dew

As back through the glen I rode again and my heart with grief was sore
For I parted then with valiant men whom I never shall see more
But to and fro in my dreams I go and I kneel and pray for you,
For slavery fled, O glorious dead, when you fell in the foggy dew.

Vimeo: Filmed at the end of the 2 day F-Stop Academy Cinematography workshop in Dublin when we were in wind down mode. Shot on a pre-production Canon 7d.

I took the Canon 7d, Zacuto Tactical rig, Z-Finder V2 and one lone lens, a Canon 35mm f1.4, which becomes more like a 50mm lens on the 7d. So a bit like what I did with Sofia's People (but I didn't have the Zacuto rig for that).

I shot 1/50th of a second as I was shooting 24p and to match the 50hz frequency of the artificial all around me in Temple Bar.

I also shot some stuff 720p 50p with shutter at 1/100th to get the slow motion shots of the juggler which were conformed to 23.98p in Cinema tools to create the beautiful slow motion.

Sound on the last bit was just the internal mono cam mic as I didn't want a big mic on top of the camera.

Big thanks To Darragh and Emma for organizing the workshop. To all the people attended and especially the people who came to the intensive 1 day Cinematography practical workshop on Sunday. Jala (from Germany), Cathal (from N. Ireland) and Jean-Jacques (from France) stayed on another night and joined me for the night shooting. We had a great time. You may also spot my partner in crime Den Lennie a couple of times here.

Music is appropriately by the great THIN LIZZY and is of course Whiskey In The Jar.

Minor colour balance grading was done. That's all to take out the yellow of the sodium lights.

Smoking may look cool on camera kids but it's bad for you! The reason so many smokers in this? All the smokers are outside, all the non smokers are inside due to smoking ban. I hope you notice the one in my mouth was not lit! :-)

God, I haven't heard this song in maybe 30 years. My dad's parents were both from Ireland, so needless to say we heard a lot of Irish music when we were growing up. Brings back some fond memories. promote.


Ta KP!

You might dig this; I certainly did for me because it brought back fond memories.

Crap like this was why I always liked Dion Dublin :-)
