Things that remind you of boring Sundays as a kid: Probably applies more to people who remember late 80s early 90s. The dread of going to Mass looming over your head sh*te programmes on tv (last of the Summer Wine for example) Glenroe for that dreaded feeling of next stop school 9am All shops being closed ------------- Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more... 97.6% chance this post will be replied to by Baldrick (source: PWC) |

Always hated that. Think the hatred I had of Mass lead to me not believing in religion.

MT USA was decent of a Sunday. The South Bank show always reminded me of school in the morning.  ------------- "Tell them to get out there and give it all they got and win just one for the Zipper. I don't know where I'll be then, Doc," he said, "but I won't smell too good, that's for sure." |

I remember a Fiorentina - Juventus game in the pissing rain and it was a cracker. Think it was 3-2 or something. James Richardson was excellent on the Saturday morning show translating and explaining the current sport headlines in the Italian press. Was it the Monday or Tuesday evening round 7pm that RTE did the Italian highlights? ------------- Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been. |

Growing up with 3 sisters meant I had to suffer fashion shows on channel 4. Can’t remember the name. It was big at the time. 21 jump street was another. Glenroe was never on. But Dave Fanning’s show earlier in the morn/afternoon always on telly box. Pork/beef roasts  ------------- YBIG Table Quiz winner 2016 & 2017 AS YOU WERE McGx |

Always anticipated Friday more than Sunday even though you had school on a Friday. Psychologically, the weekend being within your grasp felt better than the dread of going back for another 5 days that consumed you all day Sunday. It didn't help that there was much less football on Sunday and you had to go to bed earlier. ------------- You know Spider, you're a f**kin' mumbling stuttering little f**k. You know that? |

Mass life looking back is a happy memory. Getting dragged up to go to mass was always a killer but when you were there and sitting in your mates making faces at each other and trying to hold in laugh and getting shushed by the adults was quite fun in hindsight Remember me and the lads started going Saturday evening mass instead to avoid the Sunday evening which then progressed to we would leave right after we got the bread which was frowned upon by the community and the. eventually we would just tell the mothers we went on the Saturday but skipped it and the mother would be trying to find out off neighbours if I went and then her disappointment when she found out I had skipped it |

I remember when I was playing U9 or U10 football that we had a pre season friendly organised for a Sunday morning. There were 3 masses in our local church on a Sunday morning, 10, 11 & 12 o’clock. Because we wouldn’t be at mass on the Sunday, the entire team went to mass on Saturday evening instead. Laughable thinking back about it. ------------- YBIG Quiz Champion 2016, 2017 & 2018.

Every Sunday fighting with the mother about going to mass.
Looking back, I'm happy I wasn't one of those children forced to play outside a pub.

| I was still being dragged to mass in my teens. I remember when I started drinking about 16/17 we'd end up going to the 7pm mass Saturday so you didn't have to go hungover. |

Yeah mass had to be attended on a Sunday in our house. Had to put on our best clothes. It’s some laugh looking back. Then in the teens we used to go on Sat with our mates but were always asked “who said mass and who was there”. Even when I went to Uni I was asked if I was going to mass on a Sunday! Haven’t been for years so going to hell now.

Was Baywatch not a Saturday tradition? Baywatch, Gladiators then Blind date. In later years, Hulk Hogan in Thunder in Paradise would replace Baywatch and they also showed WCW wrestling before it

Golazo is in fact a Spanish word, describing a spectacular or well worked goal. Similar Portuguese word spelt slightly differently but again praising a beautiful goal.Italian commentators presumably just adapted it. ------------- No Pasaran! |
