The teachers must have loved coming in on Saturday morning. LOL

Normal People is alright. It feels like it has all been done before though.

We had something called 'supervised study' in our school - which took place for a couple of hours after school finished. It was generally taken up by choice by people in sixth year but it doubled as detention.

Also agree with the comments on the second season of After Life - really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the first season as well but it was a lot more 'hit and miss' than the second. The psychiatrist pretty much stole every scene he was in!

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.

Yeah they were obviously more violent etc but they were highly stylised.  Anyone who has seen a fight will know its usuallymessy and quite pathetic even if someone I has martial arts skills.   It just took the show in a direction  I couldnt believe

I know what you mean. I remember a fight scene in The Shield between one of the central characters (Lem) and two other lads. Incredible fight scene and much more in line with what you talking about. It was purely about survival.

I couldn't watch that Line of Duty. Poorly scripted,  unbelievable storylines and terribly directed. I know I am hard to please, but genuinely one of the worst things I have ever tried to watch. It seemed to capture the zeitgeist well, but I can't imagine it will stand the test of time.Happy Valley shat all over it.

Narcos is brilliant. The third series was poor and it felt like they were just manufacturing a storyline, but the first two series are excellent. 

Tiger King is cheap entertainment, but it is very hard not to be entertained by Americans who are so obsessed with fame and celebrity. It grates a bit that things like this are classed as documentaries when they are clearly just reality television packages as such, but it's brilliant lunacy. How reality television should be, not destroying people's mental health in the name of love and sex, but showing people who have long given up their mental health for meth and tigers.

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.
Same with us up in borderland. There was detention at lunch time in some cases but never after school. 
Sure all of us 'townies' (population about 3,500 at the timeLOL) used to go home for lunch. Did they feed you if they kept you in?
Did they fook feed you. You had 15 mins to eat. Lunch was 12:30-13:30. Detention started 12:45.

I wouldn't have had any lunch with me, my nana made mine ready for me. I could even catch a bit of ' Take the High Road' if I was lucky.

We had detention in my school. One of the more inventive punishments I saw was dished out to a lad in my class. He was suspended a couple of times previously but he wasn't especially bothered. So the next time he got in hassle instead of being sent home, he had to shadow our Form Head during school hours for an entire week. So he had to sit in the other years classes, had to go to the teachers room with him for free periods and even had to stand outside the jax waiting when required. A complete pain in the bollox for both parties involved but effective.

I was suspended Loads of times, that would have been the opposite of effective. I doubt I would have finished school out if such a thing was applied and would highly question the legality of it. The whole point of school is to educate,  if that was how they did it it was no wonder he didn't have an interest!

I went to a posh school. The sort of place where owning a pair of football boots pretty much guaranteed you a spot on the school team.
