Remember sitting outside in Charlotte Street when the City bomb went off one Sunday, pretty fucking chilling. Used to get evacuated regularly on TCR where I worked didn’t even blink an eye.
Crazy times.
Anti-Irish bullshit was terrible in those days, especially in England. Growing up in Glasgow, it was also bad, but more based around religion, NI politics, than Irishness in general. I’d imagine a similar situation in Liverpool with there also having been a very large Irish presence.
I’m just grateful that I wasn’t indoctrinated in any of that crap - my NI family are mainly Protestant, but mixed, with some from the Republic too.
While I have to wait until Friday for new Severance episodes, I realized just yesterday that the new (and apparently final) season of What We Do In The Shadows is out. Still as silly and hysterical as ever
American Primeval is definitely one to watch, best thing that been on Netflix for a good while. Great depiction of the brutal and harsh reality of America at that time, it certainly takes no prisoners
Probably mentioned further up but just finished S2 of Silo. Fantastic imo if you like dystopian futures type stuff. Tim Robbins and Rebecca Ferguson great.
Kelly’s club in Portrush in the mid/late 90s if you were from the republic of Ireland and many traveled for the big nights Sasha and Digweed ect you were told by the bouncers to stay on this side and use these bsrs
not what you want to hear entering a club but we never had any hassle there but the owner of the B&B we would stay at would drop us off and collect us…
I enjoyed it. Really well made.
Just watched this. So sad. He was clearly not made for such a ruthless industry. It was hard to look at him at some points, because he looked so unwell. How did nobody notice this and help him? The music isnt for me, but he was clearly a talented kid.
Just watched the Kneecap film on Netflix. Super late to the party but how fucking great is that…
Very entertaining!
Very clever lads…
Sort of wasn’t expecting it to be what it was… So good. And very funny.
Watched the first episode last night, they weren’t messing about.
Yeah it took me completely by surprise. I loved it.
Not on Netflix UK it seems ![]()
Prime
Finally got round to it tonight as no-one in my family would watch it with me
Brilliant
