    "There are various types of gangs operating in Ireland at the moment in all our major cities.

    Punks, Mods, Rockers, Teds, Greasers, Futuristics, New Romantics, Blitz Kids, Skinheads, Rudie Skinheads, Boot Boys, Hells Angels, Bikers and Ska Boys

    And we have some representatives of various gangs on the programme tonight"


    It sound like a Brass Eye interview, but it's vintage LLS as Gay sorts out the gangz of the day in this classic clip from 1983

    No mention of death or disease, bizarrely.

    France were robbed in the Women's World Cup, should we feel any sympathy for them :D

    I got a fierce sense of discombobulation every time George Hamilton mentioned Cascarino

    I mean, I know it's perfectly logical that there could be a woman called Cascarino playing in the Womens World Cup but my old head is still stuck in the last century.

    Just seen the GAA are bringing the club finals forward to January, and they are talking seriously about a two tier system, and I'm still trying to process the super 8s and the finals being played in August :o

    My god, if England win the Women’s World Cup, they won’t stop going on about it.

    Just like the Irish won’t stop going on about Italia ‘90.

    What's on tonight, be the hokey?

    Ain't Glasto, anyway.

    Does anyone else try every year to watch Wimbledon out of nostalgia, but get bored by the time it's 15 love?

    That's like, 100 hours away.

    Everything is so unfair.

    Anyway, I've been listening to that new Irish Beatles podcast, called Nothing Is Real. I recommend it for evryone. Might stick on the Anthology DVDs for a while.

    Why are new potatoes called new potatoes?

    Are most potatoes not new when they're harvested?

    I dunno.

    Promo's on the TV page for Tommy Tiernan Show (finished last week) and Ireland's Favourite Folk Song (finished 2 or 3 weeks ago), such a professional organisation, ffs it's run like a Transition Year web site.

    Keith Duffy was at least more philosophical in reaction to that clip.

    I can't get enough of it, to be honest.

    Love it, always have done.

    There's a good Radio One Documentary on Veere Goold, A Waterford man who got to the final in Wimbledon and was also convicted of Murder in Monte Carlo and exiled to Devil's Island

    Come on Hollywood, make that movie

    Really?

    I want to like it, just find it boring. Maybe a couple of hours in a row might get the interest going?

    Maybe.

    Full episode of eighties Sunday Night staple Murphy's Micro Quiz-M here

    This was an odd show, Mike Murphy and lots of co-hosts giving away lots of prizes to families in a vaguely technology based show.

    The highlight every week was a computer game played every week for the kidz, which made most of us lust after a Commodore 64 or Spectrum ZX81

    At 27.22 a rare opportunity to hear Mike Murphy giving a running commentary of the two young lads playing Donkey Kong rip off 'Killer Gorilla', with a few bits of advice from Mike
    "Up them steps and jump over the barrel ... lep up there and grab the hammer"

    If RTE commissioned Mike Murphy today to do a similar 80s retro video gameshow battle contest, I would pay my Licence Fee

    There's a feature length doc in the schedules on Wednesday which might be of interest (RTE1 9.30pm)

    'Shoulder To Shoulder with Brian O'Driscoll' was previously shown on BT Sport, it is about Irish Rugby and how the North and South played together through the troubles

    The Hangover on RTE 2 now, it's eerie how much your man looks like Brendan Grace, is this another tribute to him?

    Speaking of Brendan, I was surprised to learn (on TVCream.co.uk) that he sang the version of I've Got A Brand New Combine Harvester, which was copied almost verbatim by The Wurzels who had a huge hit in the UK







    Brendan's version was a piss take of this song, but it was a good one
