They are trying to implement it into Ireland soon but its meeting a lot of opposition. With the way we control our natural resources though there's no doubt it will get the go ahead.

 

Have you ever watched the film elephant. based around the events. From director Gus van Sandt. Well worth a look.

 

This is a good one. RTE ran a show in seventies called the Spike which was bout a school for troubled kids who struggled in post primary school exams. Those who scored low went to schools like this.
This was a drama which caused controversy following the appearance of a nude woman which caused one man to have a heart attack while he was complaining about the programme.
Was eventually pulled five shows in.

Never heard of it. Going to look out for it.

 

Larry Murphy a year in hiding starts tomorrow night on Tv3. A four part series.

Starsuckers is a hilarious, shocking documentary about the celebrity-obsessed media and how they feed our addiction to fame.....watched it at the wend..was very good

 

In barcelona now. Where he lost passport originally. Taken from his ruck sack

 

What time was it at? Forgot to watch it.

 

Nine o clock. Four part series.

 

Cheers.

 

What did you think of it? Didnt give much insight into anything other than they cant keep tabs on him. Imagine sitting in Barca having a pint and he walks in and sits beside you .. esp if your a woman!

 

Watergate

Good watch very long though but Gordan Liddy is a must see.

Watched it the other day,very good documentary.James quinn-macdonagh is an intresting man,he freely admits that its madness fighting in these bare knuckle bouts,but says when your "sent for" by the other family then you must fight,but you can see in the film that he is sick of the fueding.
I think its against the rules to stick up the download site,but its not that hard to find,or if anyone wants the link you can PM me.
