The Sunday afternoon oldies show on Tipp is the best of its kind anywhere.

I don't know where they do be pulling them lower chart positioned 60s' obscurities from and the dedications do be gas.

"And that great track peaked at no. 76 this week in 1965"

 

[flashback]

I think we are, or at least I am personally, super-lucky with the current Irish stereotype that people have, which is basically "friendly and fun"

In Ireland I'm a total lightweight, but at any work thing I go to it's all "egg_ brings the partaaaayyyy"

I'm not even considered Irish I think. Nationality lost due to lack of use.

I had a Brasilian woman ask me where I was from last week, because I had an interesting accent. You know the game's up when the Brasilians are calling bullshit on your aspirational Irish shite.

Well I'm glad I spent years learning Irish in school because I use it all the time.

You technically do.

Learning multiple languages at a young improves development of problem solving in the brain.

I'm also fluent in Klingon.

We're getting 24 hour bus service that will have a stop about 50m from our house, which is great. Also, in the last week or two, the bus lane has gone from 4pm to 7pm operation, to 24/7. I wonder has anyone told the parents of the kids in the nearby school who use the bus lane as a car park mornings and afternoons. Or the gardai, who don't bother policing parking in the bus lane directly outside the local station.

Private school fees climb above €10,000 for day pupils as sector criticises ‘exclusion’ from State grants

Cost of sending children to fee-charging schools has risen for most parents this year

www.irishtimes.com

It's subscriber only, so I will share with you this absolute corker of a line:

"Principals say the policy has since extended to their “exclusion” from a growing number of grants, including free schoolbooks for students"

"Students in fee-charging schools had higher self-reported rates of stealing from a shop (18 per cent vs 12 per cent in other schools), behaving badly in public (22 per cent vs 10 per cent) or taking money or something else from school (11 per cent vs 5 per cent)."

‘Higher levels of antisocial behaviour and truancy’ among students in fee-charging schools

Research finds concentration of advantage did not have positive effect on adolescent behaviour

You'd need to ask the question; is it because they're going to private schools or is it because rich people are more likely to try shit because they know they'll get away with it?

maybe the disadvantaged ones cant afford statistics

Little shits think they can get away with anything

Fixed that for you.

Case in point, Annabels.

They don't know how to act out, so they do silly shit. Teenagers are gonna act out whatever their status.

Little shits though.

Probably a direct correlation in terms of consequences for these actions

In fairness it's good training for later life for those lads, seeing as they'll be wealthy enough to get away with more or less anything

One man’s antisocial behaviour is another man’s greatest horseplay of all time.
