Irish dad goes viral for hilariously lazy holiday hack
In the now-viral clip, posted by user @annacrawfordx, her father can be seen reclining on a sunlounger, living his best life in the sunshine, with a smug grin and an even smugger solution to holiday hydration.
Using a series of straws creatively stuck together, he fashioned an extra-long drinking device that allows him to sip a full cup of Baileys without even sitting up. An Irish dad has become an unexpected TikTok sensation after his daughter shared a video of his brilliantly lazy beach-day invention. Pic: TikTok/Anna Crawford
'Holiday hack for everyone,' Anna captioned the video and viewers are absolutely loving his commitment to holiday relaxation.
'If anyone's worried about my dad on holidays, to make sure he's coping all right, here's a quick video of him,' Anna joked, before panning to her father truly lapping it up by the pool.
'I've never seen a man more content in my life,' she joked with users very much in agreement. @annacrawfordx

Comments have poured in praising his 'dad-level engineering' and we'd have to agree, because why lift a glass when you can lift the internet's spirits instead?
'Not sure what's more iconic, the invention or the full glass of baileys,' flight website SkyScanner wrote.
'Most iconic proof of life video I have ever seen,' another penned.
'Not that man's first rodeo,' a third shared.

Mayo musician Lisa Canny recalls ‘bonkers' gig with Ed Sheeran
The Mayo woman and some of her bandmates joined Sheeran, Amble, Beoga and Aaron Rowe in a surprise gig in Wexford town during the ongoing Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann. Large crowds flocked to the Sky and the Ground on South Main Street when news of Sheeran's presence filtered through the town, which is expected to welcome 750,000 people over the course of the eight-day traditional Irish music festival. There, he treated the small, intimate crowd to a number of his biggest hits, including 'Nancy Mulligan' – which was inspired by his grandparents – 'Castle On A Hill', 'Galway Girl' and 'Perfect'. He was also accompanied by the groups for a rendition of the well-known Irish folk song 'Wild Mountain Thyme'. The gig had been planned by Warner Music weeks in advance with what were described as 'M16 level preparations'. Speaking on Newstalk, BIIRD founder Lisa Canny described the gig as 'bonkers'. Mr Sheeran wore the band's signature white jersey which the band have sold as merchandise. Ms Canny founded BIIRD earlier this year with a large group of other female traditional Irish musicians, including fellow Mayo woman, Sal Heneghan. 'We just came off the main stage at All Together Now on Sunday and sure we were dying a death on Monday and then had to go down to Wexford on Tuesday to hop on a song with Ed Sheeran,' explained Ms Canny, who hails from Hollymount. 'It was surreal, we haven't really taken it all in yet but he was an absolute dote,' added the renowned harpist and banjo player. 'There's no airs and graces about him whatsoever, he was as sound as could be. He came up and literally sat down with us and asking about our plans and offering us advice and help and gave us contact details. He's sound, sound as could be.' Mr Sheeran was born and raised in Yorkshire but spent a lot of his time in Ireland as a child.
