Love/Hate

ford fiesta · 20-10-2013 05:10PM #1

I've never watched even a second of this (which seems to glorify all that's good in Ireland today), though does anyone old enough here to remember it miss Glenroe?

wazky · 20-10-2013 05:11PM

Would ya feck off with Glenroe.

Tolka row was the shit.

WoollyRedHat · 20-10-2013 05:13PM

I remember it... god be the days when there were only 4 channels in the house.

Guy who played Miley died last year, he seemed like a lovely man.

Wattle · 20-10-2013 05:14PM

Dunno about glorify. Reflect a certain reality maybe. Also let's not forget that it's fictional.

Temptamperu · 20-10-2013 05:15PM

I don't like things so i am going to start discussing them in the hopes they go away.

MrStuffins · 20-10-2013 05:15PM

What?

You might as well have called this thread "Spark plugs" or "Dishwasher".

"I've never used a dishwasher before, but has anyone ever seen the tv show Magnum P.I.?"

I have noticed that many Dubs have developed a distaste for Love/Hate in the last season or so because it portrays the capital as a bit of a dump.

I really like the show now even though I had to catch up on season 1 & 2 when I started watching season 3. Excellent acting all round.

Glenroe was good too!

Yea, it used to break the time between episodes of Mart and Market.

The rerdons that's were it all started, get up the yard there Benjy.

Muise... · 20-10-2013 05:18PM

ah why'd ya have to mention Glenroe? Lovely sunny Sunday evening and I haven't done my homework yet. The tin whistle of doom is calling.

Mariasofia · 20-10-2013 05:19PM

Im not happy that I was duped into opening this thread

.

Ruu · 20-10-2013 05:22PM

Time for school the next day and not a bit of homework done! :eek:

biko · 20-10-2013 05:30PM

OP, why is this thread called Love/Hate when you're asking about Glenroe?

OT, I watch neither.

Diabhal Beag · 20-10-2013 05:34PM

You know who remembers Glenroe? Yer joe.ie types.

funt cucker · 20-10-2013 05:36PM

I watched one episode of love/hate because the lads were raving about it in work. I didn't see what all the fuss was about. Seemed like every day life in a lot of locations in Dublin.

I must admit the lads in work are boggers and use the work "fierce" when describing a lot of things.

Not a bad idea actually for season 5.
What if Nidge and the lads were to relocate to Glenroe til the heat dies down with the RA and the cops?

spank_inferno · 20-10-2013 05:46PM

I too have never seen so much as 1 frame of this show.

The way the media w*nk on about it you would think it was The Wire + Breaking Bad x 10.

Besides I use tv not to see the dregs of dublin society.
If I want to see it I can just go outside.

Not at all, Father Devereux would have them run out of town!

a love/hate glenroe crossover series would be money.

miley becomes a regular at nidges "club" in town while tommy starts a relationship with fidelma during a time she spent working in prison.

fran and blackie connors start an illegal importation business and dick moran becomes debbies solictor only to become romantically involved with her which leads to all sorts of problems in the byrne household

NoClues · 20-10-2013 06:12PM

If only there was some type of television forum on boards.ie upon which to discuss such issues.

Yeah he died last year in 2010.

I don't watch Love/Hate and I didn't watch Glenroe or the Riordans.

The Riordans however gave rise to the phrase, "the smell of Benjy".

Over thirty years after the demise of the show the phrase is still in use. For that reason alone I regard the Riordans as superior to the other two.

Coola Boola

BTW: Fran is actually the product of Miley's close friendship with a sheep.

Fran's caravan must be somewhere near Glenroe for a start :pac:

Does this really have to happen on AH every Sunday?!

TV3 are looking up your number as we speak to offer you a job as a scriptwriter, that sounds better than half the tosh they show.

They could end the show with Nidge and friends going down, showing crime doesn't pay, then make an off-shoot prison programme called Joy/Sorrow.
