“John hasn’t had a cup of tea in over three weeks; he is beginning to lose hope.”
Unless you’ve been living under quite a substantial rock, you’ll have heard about the introduction of the household water charges which have been the subject of a lot of resistance from the Irish people.
And now the guys over at Facts, who you may remember from this hilarious take on Irish slang, have gone and created a water charges video in the style of a Concern or Trócaire appeal.
It’s a hilarious harrowing appeal of how a family of three will cope without water in their home; Anne has been struggling to wash up from last night’s lasagne and Michael’s personal hygiene has been on a downward spiral for the past two weeks.
To make matters worse, he has now run out of deodorant for his date tonight so he can’t have a teenager’s trademark ‘shower-in-a-can’ to alleviate the eye-watering and nausea-inducing sweet smell of sweat… and we all know how much men sweat in the presence of an attractive lady, just look at our reaction when see Penelope Cruz on the telly.
We really enjoyed the whole video until the very end when Facts urged people to ring Irish Water and tell them to “feck off”… nobody tells us what to do, we’re big boys now.
