    Don't worry, we figured it out in 1945.

    What do you all think of Telefis Eireann? It's a great channel; could start a little earlier than 6 o'clock though.

    Just back from a weekend in Liverpool. Went to a gig in a place called The Cavern. Four lads called the Beetles or something playing. They weren't bad.

    Some 20 year old is singing Blowin in the Wind, most likely a one hit wonder and we will never hear of him again, think he's called Bob Dylan?

    Not a great World Cup so far and can't see Brazil retaining it. Not convinced by your man Pele.

    I was just chatting to two priests called Eamonn Casey and Michael Cleary. Found them nice enough, they could go far.

    That song will become very well known, but it never made the charts.

    My young son just blasphemed, so obviously I lashed him with my belt around 20 times, until the wife said that’s enough, Paddy. I didn’t even make him bleed.

    Did I go too easy on him?

    That Mr and Mrs quiz on tonight's Late Late Show was interesting. I have a feeling the Bishop of Galway won't be too pleased tomorrow.

    ARPANET is only 7 years away




    I'm having awful trouble with my PDP1, anyone got some spare core memory I can borrow to test before we put it back in the crate and send it back to the US?

    Has anyone else noticed the number of beatniks in the Grafton St area these days? They look absolutely disgusting in their crisp black polo necks and exquisite berets.

    I was watching that "Late Late Show" on it there on Saturday night. It's a nice little summer filler, presented by that Gay Byrne from off of the radio. I can't see it lasting though.

    I just saw this great revenge thriller in the cinema starring Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum. It's called Cape Fear

    President Kennedy’s approval rating is over 80%. I can’t see anyone stopping him getting a second term.

    I've been told you should really look for these new "Radial" tyres, but who'd have those I've no idea.

    I've heard rumours he'll be visiting Ireland next year. Has some family down in Wexford, apparently.

    Aren’t Fianna Fáil doing a fabulous job these days……

    I’d be happy if they stayed in power for the next 60 years (at least)

    The Americans think they will have a man on the moon by the end of 60's.

    It will never happen they are dreaming.

    My money is on the Russians.

    Brazil are the best team in the world, that’s 2 world cups on the trot now….. my money is definitely on them for 3 in a row in 1966.

    Was great. Could light heartedly slag fellow posters off and they would respond in kind without anyone running to the mods.

    Woke was a state after sleep and people could laugh at themselves.

    I have a bad feeling about Dallas if he plans to visit it late next year
