Welcome to HappyPizza64!
I'm a lift filmer from Dublin, Ireland. I've been filming lifts on this channel since 2019, but have been interested in lifts all my life! Primarily, I film in Ireland's capital city (Dublin); however I also film around Ireland and in Mainland Europe too.
As well as lifts, I also have an interest in transport (primarily buses) and general photography.
UPLOAD SCHEDULE:
Due to real-life circumstances, I no longer upload on a regular basis. Videos may appear from time to time, however videos are not guaranteed.
I upload bus photography to Flickr too!
Offence of any kind is not tolerated on this channel (including but not limited to: racism, homophobia etc).
Please note that mild swearing may appear in videos, particularly and more often in my older ones.
NOTICE: If you know any of my personal details, do NOT say/show them ANYWHERE.
Enjoy my channel!

There is now only one remaining Express lift left at Tallaght Hospital. The 2 lifts in the atrium have now been boarded up. The lift in the trinity centre is still original for now, however I presume it’ll be done in good time. If you want to see it, I highly recommend going now.

When The Square’s car park is so full you actually have to park on 4 instead of just going up in the lifts 😂

An update regarding TUH's lift mod project:
- The last 2 Express passenger lifts are no longer working. They are switched on, but cannot be called so I believe they are due for replacement very soon. It's a very sad sight to see that Dublin's potentially rarest lifts are gone.
- The first hydraulic replacement is now in service, and they are still working on the second lift.
- The last of the bed lifts is still under replacement, I think it's into its 4th month now.
It was fantastic to have such amazing, rare lifts nearby, although we've now reached the end of that era. The new KONE lifts are much bigger than the Express lifts and I'm sure the hospital staff will appreciate their larger size; the passenger lifts have increased from 21 persons/1600kg to 26 persons/2000kg, and the hydraulic lifts have increased from 21 persons/1600kg to 30 persons/2275kg.
Having said this, the new lifts will never compare to the speed and efficiency of the Express lifts.

On a recent trip to London I acquired a good bit of b-roll audio footage from the Underground trains. I have a poll for you to answer: Would you like this footage to be uploaded?
Please keep in mind: This footage will be audio against a still background. This will NOT include ride footage.

Today I took my final ride on the Express lifts of Tallaght Hospital. The public lifts are still in operation for now, however I don’t think they have long left. The last bed lift is now under replacement. It’s a real shame to be losing these extremely rare lifts, the only known installations in Ireland.
They will be dearly missed.

Unfortunately I may not have videos edited in time for Christmas tomorrow and New Year's next week. As it stands, I don't know how much longer I can keep this YouTube gig going for. Real-life circumstances and situations on top of my job make it very difficult to find the time, and those take first priority over a hobby.
The hiatus I mentioned last February appears to be well underway already and I don't see this stopping any time soon. I have a fairly big backlog of videos from a couple of holidays over 2024 and some older footage from 2023, so those may come at some point. Maybe if I find interesting lifts or buses on my travels they could be uploaded? But as it stands, regular uploading for this channel appears to be a thing of the past.
Normally I don't talk much about my life outside of YouTube, but being mostly away from the online world for a while (hence my absence on both Flickr and Instagram) appears to have taken a positive toll on my mental health too, and this is something I'd like to keep going. The hassle of worrying about deadlines for videos seemed to bog me down quite a bit when I regularly uploaded, whereas the absence of this has lifted a massive weight off my shoulders. I love doing YouTube but unfortunately I cannot continue if the scales are off-balance too much.
I can promise that at least one more video is guaranteed for the next while, the one mentioned in my previous post.
Any questions, please pop them into the comments below and I'll do my best to answer them.

Dundrum and The Square don’t take back the parking tickets anymore so I now have more than 50 or so 😂 Videos coming soon; one before Christmas, one on Christmas and one for New years!
