Way past your bedtime??

pearliefan · 22-12-2009 03:28PM #1

What was it for you that you knew you were up way past your bedtime?

For me it was when those Kyros production things came on after the 11pm news.. the two minute religious clip things, showing people helping out in schools or things like that. Whenever those came on I knew I was up late and it always made me feel so grown-up! Now it's like that's the start of my evening! :pac:

I know it's a bit ironic that I'm posting this in the middle of the day

For me it was the theme tune at the end of Glenroe on a Sunday!

porn on tv

I remember I felt I was up late when I was watching Fr. Ted. I'd never see the second part of the show because I'd be ordered to bed

Yes! That's the one I mean. You were in one? cool!! :pac:

I also remember when I was even younger, I had to be in bed for 9pm so watching Friends was out of the question. I used to give out stink about that

jokettle · 22-12-2009 03:42PM

It used to be the 9 o'clock news for me too

then we'd say we wanted to watch the news, so we got to stay up until the weather

TomCo · 22-12-2009 03:42PM

I used to stay up late on a Monday to see Sliders on Sky.

A Doozer · 22-12-2009 03:45PM

Gulp. When my father was yelling at me for giving away the fact that I was up too late.

Looking at all these Sliders n Friends references makes me feel old. Glenroe was new when I was going to bed

AnonoBoy · 22-12-2009 03:49PM

I used to know it was way past my bedtime when I'd be walking home clutching a bottle of buckfast like it held the answer to every question I could ever ask and I'd be passing fresh-faced families on their way to early morning Sunday mass who would look at me as if I was the epitome of everything that was wrong with the country.

But enough about last summer....

mac36 · 22-12-2009 03:52PM

Oh dear God... I am almost too embarrassed to post this but when the theme music to the Oneidin (?) Line came on I knew it was bedtime.....:(

Duggy747 · 22-12-2009 04:08PM

I knew it was time for beddy-byes when News At 10 came on ITV, Trevor McDonald might as well have said "Duggy!! Get to bed you little shìt!!" before he started the news.

Ah, back in the day when ITV used to always show the Robocop, Alien(s), and Predator. (films I really shouldn't have watched as a kid, used to pretend I could pull a gun outta my leg like Robocop :pac:)

Nowadays it's when the TV channels either do the abs infomercials or those religious mass programmes.

When South Park came on, my mam went mental if she caught me watching it in my brothers' room

CrazyRabbit · 22-12-2009 06:00PM

I didn't have any bedtime rules as such growing up, so I stayed up until I got tired.

I would generally go to bed when some of the channels switched off for the night (prior to 24 hour channels). RTE, BBC, C4 & ITV etc would shut down and go to a test card screen at about 2am, so that was my cue to go to bed.

Dallas then glenroe was my quota on a Sunday night!

MagicMarker · 22-12-2009 06:09PM

After The Bill:cool:

xoxyx · 22-12-2009 06:11PM

Usually my bedtime was after the seventh or eight "I don't wanna, I'm not tired"!
But I do remember when I was quite young being packed off upstairs after Corrie.

_blank_ · 22-12-2009 06:12PM

Theresa Lowe then Miley on a Sunday.

cloneslad · 22-12-2009 06:50PM

only really had a bed time till I was about 12 the it was up to me when to go to sleep, sometimes I would be told to go to the room and watch tv up there, just to get out of my dad's sight.

But when I was younger I do remember sunday nights consisted of last of the summer wine, heartbeat and where in the world (quiz show on rte) then I would try and disappear into the sofa and keep really quiet in the hope that I wouldn't be noticed....a couple of loud intakes of breath and it was game over and I got sent to bed.

Feeky Magee · 22-12-2009 06:53PM

From about aged 5-9, it was the Coronation Street theme tune.

I grew to hate that bloody cat on the rooftop...

My sister used to give out to my parents for letting me watch South Park.

admiralofthefleet · 22-12-2009 07:14PM

a clip around the ear and told 'get up them stairs'

DazMarz · 22-12-2009 07:14PM

My mother was awful: straight to bed at whatever time we had agreed upon at my last birthday (I was allowed extensions every year!)

Father was grand. Whatever time suited.

Now, I never sleep... Body clock shot to pieces.

twanda · 22-12-2009 07:16PM

The Glenroe theme tune - 9.00 every night.
Sweet Jesus, how I hate that tune..:mad:

Cupcake_Crisis · 22-12-2009 07:27PM
