I just watched an episode of Glenroe from 1992

A Battered Mars Bar

Complete with a boring tosser doctor played by Mario Rosenstock acting like a Hugh Grant wannabe.

Denny and Brennan were at the mart all day
Fidelma has a gorgeous fella from the holliers.
The word "my" didn't exist and was inexplicably replaced with "me"
Miley said "Well holy god" a lot
The drunk mullet lad wore double denmin
Dick wore a suit and tie all day at home

Bills
Esb was 160
Fuel was 220
Phone was 105

The devil and God were mentioned countless times.

Where do I go with my life now?

Wasn't it Miley that ended up ploughing the wrong field?

where did you watch it?

Are there any box-sets available? They'd make a great Christmas gift. RTÉ should get onto this.

I'd love to spend all Christmas evening on the sofa watching Glenroe, safe and sure in the knowledge that there was NO homework to be done, no SuperTed pyjamas to get into, and no school tomorrow.

Did you have a sudden realisation about whether or not your ecker was done for the next day ?

Watching 'The Sword of Sherwood Forest (1960) the other night, (I know, I know...there was feckall else on) and in a Village Tavern scene up pops two familiar faces from The Riordans.
Sitting together were Mrs. Riordan's real life hubby John Hoey, alias 'Tinker fella' Francey Maher, and John Cowley, Mrs Riordan's on screen hubby Tom Riordan!
'Francey' complaining as usual in his inner city Dublin / Oirish accent about the Sheriff of Nottingham's high Taxes, and 'Tom' saying 'Aye...Aye...Aye' a lot.
Jeez, but they were both cringworthy awful

It's strange to think that as much time seperates 2016 from 1992 as seperates 1992 from 1968. Like 1992 just seems like a poorer, primitive version of nowadays, without internet and smartphones etc. 1968 seems like a different world entirely to 1992. Maybe that's just me, and maybe if I thought longer about it I wouldn't even agree with myself :P

Kinda fancied Michelle.

You took your titillation where you could find it, back then.

Will anyone admit to having fancied Biddy?
Biddy has to be the longest running unglamourous female lead in the history of television. She was such an absolute wagon of a character too. Like men have always gotten away with being average on tv but how did Biddy manage it in an era of Sue Ellen Ewing and Crystal Carrington ?
