Anyone watchin Prime Time now ?

Lapin

MO'C visiting ould boys around the country for a chat.

Some sad stories but its still very enjoyable to listen to them.

I loved to fella in Kerry inviting her in for a drop of whiskey - at 11.30 in the morning !

Green Hornet

Agreed. I'm enjoying it.

Kristopherus

The real salt of the earth:).

Lapin

I'd really love to go for a jar Mossy.

A dying bread, those old characters are getting scarcer and scarcer.

Green Hornet

I was just remarking that to myself. There were a few characters around like that when I was a kid but not many now.

Some seemed pretty happy with their lot while the poor auld divil who lost his wife and son was sad to watch. Love to drop into him for an auld chat and cut a few hedges or something for him, just for a good chat.

Watching it to. "What you never had you never miss" puts things in perspective. We moan when our internet slows and they have no water or electricity.

You hit Submit too many times .

Malcolm.

I'd say a lot of them are glad to have nothing to do with other people. A log cabin in the woods is not a bad way to live.

Poxy phone. ...if only I lived a more simple life like them lads!

The Donegal lad should be given his own tv show, he is far more entertaining than some in RTE. It was a nice report, while their stories were sad they seemed content enough and were very appreciative of simple things - like their daytrips and their neighbours visits.

Fairly normal down my neck of the woods. If you didn't offer a "wee drop" at any time of the day they'd say you were as tight as a hangman's noose!....;)

Those lads would be very early risers anyway,11.30am would be like the evening to them.My Grandad in Donegal used to be up at 5.30am and in the cot by 7pm at the latest during winter.He had no farm or anything,purely out of habit.

I think bar the story about the poor man who lost his wife and son, the other two fellas seemed very content with their life, I'd love to have an aul jar with any of them, nice to see people appreciating just some simple things in life.

I don't know how Pakie Jim bears the cold. you can see his breath in the air at one point. How did he manage the snow times? At least the other two seem to have some kind of fair home
