The 70's and 80's in Ireland

I used to have a giggle at the really crap bit in this where the digger hits the power line. Like something from Captain Pugwash.

Remember the Triple A Golden Maverick ad with the cowboys playing poker?

How about Net Nitrate, Net Urea.
"Spread the Net, you won't regret
Great silage you'll be storing
Go straight to Net, you won't forget
Net Nitrate, Net Urea"

It's definitely not May 1980 as the date claims. It features waxworks of Prince Charles arm in arm with Princess Diana, and the two of them were only rumored to be dating at that time.

I have better memories of that place being a Cinema - The Plaza - called The Dorset before that. I did a full on combo of visiting it as the wax works museum and then down to the moving crib in Parnell Square in the mid 90s. Had grub in the Kingfisher after that. Reading what I just typed looks fooked up as so much has changed, Different days.

Yes, that's the news report that I remember seeing. The year on that link has to be wrong though, it was a good bit later than 1980. I'd estimate about 1985/86.

Edit: it was 1985. Its mentioned here.

Thanks for that. Poor old RTE, getting it wrong again!

I have to admit I LOLed (feel a bit bad now...:pac:)
Wax museum always gave me a severe case of the creeps, alot of the waxworks were terrible + deep in uncanny valley territory.

I remember a news report about the time vandals broke into it and wrecked the place. It showed the wax figure of Margaret Thatcher with a sword stuck through her head.

I had the action figure. The skin peeled back on the arm to reveal the mechanical bits I'd say my Dad did 4 weeks overtime to afford it.

Shown around the same time was the Bearcat's, about two guys in a souped up vintage car having adventures on the Tex/Mex border circa 1920's.

Anyone here remember a fashion boutique in Dublin in the 1980s called Lucia? At one point there were anout 5 of them in Dublin. They were owned and managed ny a German lady called Marianne.

She and her husband Hans were neighbours and good friends of my mum and dad.

Lynda Carter looked fantastic. I enjoyed it at the time but when I revisited it on DVD, it didn't stand up.

On the other hand, I could watch The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman all day.

Used to watch The Six Million Dollar Man but at some stage my head was turned by Charlie's Angels

John Hughes Movies in the 80s and those that tried to replicate aspects of them in Irish secondary schools. It never went down too well.

I was a straight boy and did not want to bed this older bird. Plus the show was crap. Nice memory though.:D
