The usual auld Dublin fella voiceover for Brennan's bread - not sure If I heard this correctly but (and I'm paraphrasing)

Yeah Facebook...it's one of those internet thingys for young wans where they make virtual friends and then they all poke each other

Does he really say that? Surprising if he does. I'm not offended but I'm sure plenty would be.

He does say poke, because you can poke a friend on face book. just a little reminder that your thinking of them.

Or just not down with the kid's lingo obviously. :eek:

I honestly thought there was only one meaning for this other than the literal one. I thought the oul Brennan's guy had lost it TBH!
 
I heard that advert for the first time today (where have I been?) and thought it was very funny and absolutely intended I'm sure. Good ol' Mr Brennan, reminded me of the out-take of one of those ads that was circulating years ago, made by the actor (won't name him!) which ended on the line: "Ol' Mr Brennan, he was always a good man for the repartie!".

Do they not have the facebook down in 'Rural'? I suppose at least they have the radio.

Nah Facebook is just so early 21st century that I'd forgotten about it and all it's quaint vocabulary. We're way beyond that now down here.

Down in 'rural' we're into this kind of post-modern-ironic-retro thing now:

Meeting with actual people and socialising - including flirting that might actually amount to something.

The radio (or 'wireless' as we prefer) is coming back too you know. And analogue is the new digital.
