I turned on my TV today to discover that Virgin Media Ireland have removed Dave and UK Gold and replaced them with some CBS ballix channels. Livid I was. I may be forced to move on and watch contemporary shows, most of which seem to be crap. Feckers.Dave wrote:Watch Dave. Perfect viewing for those not wishing to move on.

Re: Time to move on
For clarity, I haven't watched RTE since the 6Ns when Ireland fluked a Grand Slam.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.
Re: Time to move on
Just thought I'd share this as it shows the potential consequences of not moving on.
Imagine if this judge was sent in to tackle the mass refusal to move on going on in Ulster.
Garda Padraic Connolly was on patrol in the town when he noticed that Helena Ward from 3 Meadowbrook Park, Ballinasloe was double parked outside Supermac’s.
The Garda spoke to the driver of the vehicle and asked her to move as she was causing an obstruction. The Garda drove around the town and when he came around to Main Street, she was still double parked.
https://connachttribune.ie/double-parki ... g-ban-221/Judge James Faughnan said that he did not have much time for her attitude as he convicted her for the offence in her absence and fined her €500 while also imposing a one year driving disqualification.
“She will move on the next time,” remarked Judge Faughnan.

It’s small-town, low-budget crap.
Have you ever seen an RTE re-make of a popular gameshow? It’s like something filmed in a school hall in the early noughties.
I pitched the games show idea "Tag the Taig" to them in which various contestants had to determine which participant kicked with the left foot through a series of questions and activities to be presented by Damien Duff.
Apparently it was 'Sectarian' so I suggested as a compromise "Prod the Prod" could be run alternative weeks.
They didn't want to know still but CH5 are looking to commission it in the Autumn.
Their loss.
