Last night saw the return of an Irish classic on television, The Snapper, and Irish Twitter went bleedin' mad for it.
It's no surprise, really. The Snapper is an intrinsic part of any Bank Holiday Monday and, sure enough, we all had a few smart-arse comments about it.
Take a look, for Jaysus sake.

Everyone from the Raheny / Coolock / Edemore / Donaghmede area that's over 30 has a story about this film.

Brazilians wouldn't get the significance of 'Two Eggs On A Hankie'.
And, of course, we all know what the actual baby from The Snapper is up to now. Now, all rise for the National Anthem...
