What's going on with the 1970s tacky blue buntings dangling from a couple of houses around Donabate. They look a mess. What's it all about?

Now it makes sense, thanks for answering my question.
But it's still tacky.

Something that makes sense that doesn't look tacky

In my opinion 1970s buntings look tacky and I personally wouldn't dangle them from my home. There is no accounting for taste but each to their own.
Why do you have a suggestion that you'd like to share Mr Stupid?

You're just giving out not offering a solution. This type of attitude is too pervasive in Ireland.

No Mr Stupid I'm not giving out. I don't particularly like buntings but that's just me. Obviously other do and choose to show them off which is their prerogative.

Ok if you say so Mr Stupid. Thank you for telling me what I really mean. Now I feel stupid just like you.

Tacky Buntings. I feel that those lovely words are wasted in this context, they should mean something much more than just bits of coloured material; maybe something Higgs Boson related. I might call my band 'Tacky Bunting'. Its a slow news day.
