I meant in Ireland, I know they have it in Britain. Never heard of it back home.

37. There couldn't have been detention in my school as the buses out to the villages and parishes near the town left straight after school. I know the schools in other towns in my area were the same. Never heard of it in Cork either, though I guess I never thought of it. Assumed all schools were the same, bar the posh ones.

Detention can be added to the long list of things you’ve never heard of then, alongside probably most types of modern technology, any latest popular app, or current pop band/singer

And illiteracy can be added to yours. I clearly stated I heard of it, that would be silly, just not in local schools and community colleges. I knew it was in schools in Britain, France and the USA, at least. It just struck me as not being very Irish and, given this is set in Ireland, by an Irish writer, it made it feel inauthentic. I am, despite my love of the internet, a bit of a luddite, by choice. I also think we have gone backwards socially since the turn of the century, with popular applications being a major factor. Although, in saying that, I actually once thought that social media would be a force for social good. As I don't listen to the radio, bar Radio 6, occasionally, and rely on music magazines, websites, Spotify recommendations and a couple of friends I trust for music, I tend to avoid the sort of mainstream sh*te that passes for music. Maybe I am missing out, but having heard Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi, and being unable to tell the difference, I think I will survive. Still, a lot of the bands I do like seem to be popular enough, judging be the interest in seeing them at gigs and festivals.

Sure all of us 'townies' (population about 3,500 at the time) used to go home for lunch. Did they feed you if they kept you in?

Yeah we had detention but it tended to be at lunchtime not after school as people got buses from up to 30km away

I watched the first episode and felt the fight scenes were like something out no retreat no surrender or karate kid or some It stuff from the 80s we loved as teenagers. I can’t see myself staying with it having red your post. I am watching city in the hill and like it. Kevin bacon is excellent

Jaysus. You must have watched a much more violent version of The Karate Kid than me! I don't think the action scenes are anything alike. Look, the action scenes, of which there are plenty, are excellent. That was enough to keep me engaged. Obviously that won't be the case for everyone. Edited by Paulie - 30 Apr 2020 at 8:40am |

After Life 2 was great. Didn’t think they’d have anything for a second series but it was bloody excellent.
Finished bachelors walk which was great but the xmas special some years later was f**king awful. It’s like they forgot how to act.
