Australian here, dry toast and flat lemonade was always what mum gave us when sick, did us no harm, and i did the same for my kids. I love Bridget and Eamon, bloody hilarious show.
That will always be true. Dont fooking stand there lookin into the microwave while it's running. A quick test to see if your organs are being fried everytime you heat up something: put your phone in the microwave, close the door and ring it. If it rings then your organs are fried and cancer is imminent.
I hear you. I'm Scottish and my mum used to take the wooden spoon to me. Must be a Celtic thing. Probably the most accessible piece of wood to hand. Could be worse, could have been a rolling pin but I think that's for killing people.
"G'out n' move the car" That was quite popular in our house lol. Kids of seven who couldn't even see over the steering wheel would be out repositioning the car so the father had an easy escape route to the pub.
When I was 5 I was the remote and when I was ten I always had to move the car and I was still the remote. Being poor in Chicago in the 80s & early 90s was just like this too except ha never knew ya were cause everyone ha knew lived the same way LOL
I used to be my dad's remote once in a while. And I absolutely used to go to the front of the van to see the road better while my dad drove and my mom sat in the passenger seat. 😂
Republic of Telly, love how ye perfectly sum up the 80s, into 3 minute clip. Ye should do a skit on "stations" in Ireland. Nothing like a good mass in the house
I’m 31 and British, but much of this is true. Spoon slapping, moving the car for your dad and going up front with no seatbelt between your parents. So true.
It's state-by-state in America. In Vermont it's for beer and fizzy soft drinks only, the lobbies that want to expand it to everything and get rid of it entirely are evenly matched, so it covers the drinks people bought in bottles and cans in 1970 when it was first put in place. Bottled water was something you bought in gallon milk jugs if you had a bad well.
@Soda King I don't remember exactly as I was, like, under 10 in those days but I'm pretty sure we didn't get 5 cents for a bottle or can) prices like that just didn't exist in Russia after the collapse of the USSR.
I was a teen in the 80's, in Australia. People dressed like that. Everyone smoked. Everyone drank drove. Casual racism, homophobia and sexism were the norm, to an extent, although it was becoming frowned upon. Everyone still hit the kids to discipline them, both at school and at home. Aaahhhh...the bad old days....
In the seventies you could still run down to the local mom and pop grocery store and pick up a six pack of beer and cigarettes for your old man as long as they knew you.
Reminds me of being a kid in the 80s right enough! I’m from the arse-end of nowhere in the Scottish highlands though, not Ireland. Last time I was there was in 2000 and it was Ulster - was at Queens University for the nursing course, ended up going to Stirling instead though. Last time I was in Eire was 1998 and it was brilliant craic - nicest folk I’ve ever met, proper warm and friendly and brilliant humour.
Fiona Murphy Depends, I was a kid in the 1990s and was never touched with a wooden spoon, or indeed by hand. But then my parents were relatively young and didn't believe in that approach.
TheLastAngryMan01 Kids need a good auld slap, spoon or no spoon. That's why there's so many little shithead kids these days. No real parenting going on anymore.
"Daddy there's a fella outside" *Father opens door* "What the fuck are ye doin in my garden" "My name's Michael Collins I need to hide somewhere" "Jaysus Collins you should have said, come on in there, ÁINE GET THE DINNER ON WE HAVE A GUEST!!"
1:25 She's probably serving "lasagnie" because her son reads the Garfield cartoons in the paper. This rather reminds me of a series on the UK's Channel 4; "It Was Alright in the 1970's". They wanted me to cringe and feel ashamed. Instead, I screamed with laughter.
Depends on how much money your family had. Mine had fuck all. I didn't know better as a child but looking back, we had nothing. My parents went through some shit because of the 80s recession in Ireland.
Gag. Went to microwave cooking classes and you had to sprinkle paprika on the gross white pasty looking (cooked) chicken to make it look better. We learned how to cook a plate of meat on a stand and under the stand was a chocolate cake rising. Tried it all once and after that only used it for reheating tea, defrosting stuff and occasionally cooking veggies.
Jeysus the slaps in the car, I remember it too well. It was always proceeded by the sentence "if I have to stop this car", that alone was enough to make us shut the fuck up!
@@freepadz6241 I'd like to think not. At least in the Sixties (I was born at the end of the Summer of Blood, 1968), we didn't do anything so ridiculous as to elect a real estate tycoon who had two ex-wives, who cheated on his current wife, and who had been through at least two bankruptcies, to the White House
A lot of these applied to American folks too. My mom can vouch for that. She told me about the time when a black boy came to her school up in Wisconsin in the 70s. It was all anyone could talk about.
Dry toast and flat 7up, ha ha. That was my mom's cure for everything. If the doctor won't call in the antibiotic it's cola syrup and dry toast for you.

I learned how to drive by being the D.D. for my parents.

No crime either, but with alot more poverty.

I remember doing that and I'm 16
Good man yerself! Sure how else do you expect to see the road?
Had an uncle that would let me sit on the floor and push the gas pedal while he drove. I was cruise control. It was the 70s
"Remember when Daddy came in and hurt Mommy? That's how you were born." That hit uncomfortably close to home. (I was born in 1992).
I heard "worked"
I couldn't figure out nearly half of what they said, & I'm usually pretty good with accents.
Ye she said worked
I thought she said "rootin' "
You guys really are bad with accents, it's pretty clearly "Remember when you walked in and Daddy was hurtin' Mummy?"
The second I saw that wooden spoon skit ... I think I got PTSD.
For me it was the Father Brennan bit.
Honest to god I get shivers when I look at wooden spoons now be to jaysus my mammy loved them when we were bold
