    The technical issues with the site itself couldn't be simpler to resolve imho: poach a couple of staff from Pornhub and give them a year.

    It would certainly work alright but what would you have on it. :eek: :pac:

    If they can keep that site on-line with the volume of traffic it handles, surely they could improve the godawful experience that is the RTE Player.

    I was surprised (and annoyed) to see the Brian O Driscoll/Amy Huberman wedding included. Hardly an event worth reminiscing on for the general population. But then, RTE seem enamoured with her and give her relentless promotion so I shouldn’t be too surprised.


    The very first feature in Reeling In The Years 2001 was Mary Harney's Wedding ... when I saw that I knew it had gone downhill

    Every episode since then has had a 'celebrity' wedding

    Gay Byrne and Kathleen Watkins' wedding was featured on the '60s series. I think Terry Wogan's was too.

    There was a couple of years in the 00s that seemed to be nothing but Westlife songs and celebrities. But I think that fact that the 00s were mostly a decade of vacant consumerist crap rather than being a sudden problem with the production of RITY

    I'd forgotten that Rihanna scandal and Simon Harris looking like a schoolboy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,128 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    The little head on Simon Harris!

    Complaining about a bit of damp weather pales into comparison with those scenes in New Zealand and Japan.

    Didn't know that last song.

    That Imelda May song ("Inside Out"). How many people would think of that as one of the big hits of 2011? I don't remember it at all.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,597 ✭✭✭ongarite


    Unemployment like that coming next year after PUP runs out.

    At least in the 80's the music was decent.

    No Rugby world cup where we beat Australia and then ****ed up against Wales

    The Arab spring was a disaster.


    Caused a huge migration crisis. Ironic, that the people were protesting for a better deal and the cure ended up being worse than the disease ever could

    How could they leave out News of the World collapsing and Ireland qualifying for their 1st major soccer tournament in a decade, it was also a rugby world cup year, they've overdone the recession in these 2 episodes IMO would like a bit more pop culture, sport etc.
