long queues in raheny chipper

I can't leave you guys for a minute and you let all my old haunts close down. What is the world coming to !!!!

At least its an off licence!!

Just watched the grove doc. What a feeling, what memories, even recognised some people.

Thanks guys for the laughter and tears.

Now I have to start going out and buying the old cd's again (see I didn't say records) trying to keep up with technology.

Hey finno, It's sad to see the city changing so much like that. At least we've got better memories than the teenagers today. They don't seem to have the same camaraderie we all had.

I can remember going down to the grove even when my close friends weren't going.You just went on your own, knowing that you had lots of people there you knew. Couldn't do that today.

Nothing wrong with records, Mammy!  

Can't Believe the all the talk of the ol places like the baggot and cricket club..

Winter's regin .....they were knocking round and were reputed to be the top rock band on the circut ! went to see them once. musicians in other bands were a little jealous of their keyboard players DX7 ...We used to say "well if he's got one of those they must be good "..

I heard storys of rivalry between themselves and other bands and as Rolo said  I'm sure there's a good story in there somewhere.

real shame about the baggot inn ....which I loved ! I was on holiday in Kerry a few years ago. Freddie White was playing there .....I was chuffed .He hasn't changed much at all and still does a great gig .   

Saturday, Moran's hotel, gig by U2 or rather not very early days a friend was doing sound and u2 ,pat and myself were there in the afternoon. The pa system that had been hired was in the van and we were waiting for someone to turn up with the keys. After an hour hour and a half we were then told that there would be no gig! Next 1/2 hour was a big debate as to how to pay for the hire of the pa.

 True story 

Hi Myploscarfe,

I used to love Bad Bobs. Went there all the time, what's happened to it. Remember they closed it for a while. Is it reopened?

We were at a little party on Halloween night! Friends up the road cook a big pot of chilli every year before the trick or treating starts.  Anyhow a few of us meet there each year!!!! One of the couples had their house broke into while they were there... went feckin home to a ransacked house... !!!! we live in a nice area with our own police and still our bikes are robbed and car's are broken into!!! pisses me off.

Your right it is common place.

ARD 257 DJ: Delighted you keep the kissing clean!!! never could do that myself.  Watched someone once kiss the face of their dog and I nearly threw up..... the very idea of him licking his arse!!!!!
