The only two markets near here were the Fairyhouse Market in Ratoath and the White House market near the Coolquay Lodge. The White House one used to sell fireworks until the Gardaí clamped down on it. I think there was pirated stuff too.

Yeah maybe it was one of them. But as I said it was more of a car boot sale in a big field that everybody seemed to call the Ashbourne Market.

Anyway tell us a piracy story to get the thread back on track lest ye walk the plank.

It would have probably been Long Wave Radio Atlantic 252. Would be sitting there with blank cassette in place and finger over the record button. Then it was down to good reflexes that you got the start of the song and praying that the DJ didn't decide to talk over the last 30 seconds of the song.

Clogher Market was full of pirated music and film! Plenty of dodgy looking electronics as well. "What do you mean, you've never heard of Skiditski? Great tellys!"

Can remember copying "hunchback" on the C64 but I don't think I ever had a successful copy, used to just hang on the load screen. Maybe nostalgia but I alway remember it being a great game.
Used to use Napster on dial-up. Used to have a copy of Christy Moore's Live album and lost it, so spent days/weeks downloading it. I remember seeing people with T3 lines downloading a song in what seemed like seconds and being so jealous.

I burned a copy of Now!whatever number when I was about 10. Thought I was the coolest kid going.

On vhs it was a Simpsons box set thing with the help of my uncle.
On tape it was Michael Jackson's Thriller album.
And via the internet an episode of Lost.

Boarded a Spanish Brig that was just outta Havana. Lost a leg and an eye but good times all the same.
