my first job was in Cork Multi Channel back in the days Trevor Welsh and Paul Byrne weren't international tv sensations.

Your one Sandra Doyle was a cracker IIRC.

I remember they used do coverage of the elections, it was absolutely brilliant. All politics is local.

It was a godsend when they put UK Gold on number 17, easy to put channel 18 off if you couldn't find the LC button in a hurry. My old pair probably thought I had an unhealthy fixation with 70s English sitcoms rather than German tits. Although which is worse I don't know.

There was no fucking frustration known to man like having a free gaff and sitting through Das Harald Schmidt show and realising they were giving the bongo a night off and putting on some American cop show.

Simpler, happier times.

you speak for us all my friend, better times indeed at least in 1989/90 leeds
were promoted,

I seem to remember they tried their hands at a candid camera show,

Remember they did world cup coverage and had Jason Kabia on the panel lol.
Everyone thought it was Phil Babb lmao

They had quite good coverage of Cork GAA and other sports.

Got interviewed by sandra doyle on pana in 91 asking about the ireland england match i said a draw which i should have put money on as it was.

Jesus I remember her. What a flashback. The way her mouth moved while she talked it always looked like it wasn't actually her voice and that another voice was being dubbed over it. Was really weird. What's she up to now? RTE or something?

The Arts channel was a good substitute for Channel 18 at times. Used to come on after Sky One closed down. Good for a bit of tits and arse in the name of art at times.

Beverley Hills Bordello and the Red Shoe Diaries used be on sky sometimes, not bad, there was also "erotic after dark" on sky movies where they showed stuff like Emmanuel and Young Lady Chatterly. They Bravo started showing stuff like Vampiros Lesbos.
Obviously nowhere near as filthy as you can get at the touch of a button these days but did the job at the time.
Although my friend Wiggy (already mentioned)'d dad used work on the oil rigs, used come back with porns that were complete filth.
As hard as they stuff you'd see on redtube these days.
I remember he had one recorded off Red Hot Dutch. Complete filth. All anal, BBC with Sean Michaels etc. Remember these two lads called around to this burd's gaff, they go "hey what you up to?" she goes "Just heading out to the gym" they go "why go to the gym when you can work it off right here" she goes "what you guys have in mind" your man goes "well you can start by sucking my dick!"
lmao.

I'd say everyone in 1A3 watched it. Although this complete gimp known as Bard Nocturnus stole the fucking thing. He was a thieving cunt.

It was the fucking job. 18 channels on a box. What more did you need. You had RTE and the british channels and MTV and some weird channels from Europe and a bit of porn on channel 18. Simple times.

What a time to be alive.

I have an image of paul byrne sucking diesel out of a car with a hoover up at the petrol station in hollyhill as part of the candid camera.


Paul also spent an evening with a prostitute as part of a human interest story.
She said that she sonetimes really enjoyed the sessions with some of her regulars.
