I've never seen people from Dublin on Quicksilver - seemed to be more for country people. Nothing wrong with that but bejaysus it's got the production values of something from mid 1970s eEastern Germany.

It was a great concept. Bringing a popular show to the people in many rural areas. But Normans musical clues were more obscure and cryptic than the Dusty Bin riddles on 3-2-1. And with no screening of audience, there was always a risk of getting the thickest bog mam/woman in the entire country.

Onya Gronya! Reminds me of a time in me childhood, circa 1971. I was in primary school in Sydney, in a suburb called Killarney Heights. Every street was named after an Irish county, and we lived in Kilkenny Avenue. One day, in my school, (Killarney Heights Primary School in Tramore Place, just across the road from the bottleshop), we had some new arrivals, there were two Irish girls, Oona and Gronya. ( I know I'm not spelling it properly, sorry.) Oona seemed like such a strange and exotic creature. She was so skinny, with copper-red hair, and covered in freckles. She was like a little elf, and seemed almost other-worldly. Gronya was a few years older, and she was tall and strong. I'd never seen anyone like Oona, and her accent was so thick. We'd never heard names like that before, and they'd come from so far away. I think the whole school was fascinated and surprised by these newcomers, as in our little part of the world, nothing new ever happened, nothing exciting, and we were all the same, just plain old Aussie kids, nothing exotic about us at all. Well, I was only six, and I can't really remember what happened to Oona and her family. I don't think that they stayed long. I wonder, now, if they had come to Killarney Heights thinking that there was a large Irish enclave here? I'm afraid there wasn't, but Oona, if you're out there, I still think of you! I'm still in Killarney, and, it really hasn't changed much at all. There endeth my story.

@@Lee-nh5bb It's funny, I was only thinking about your initial comment this morning. You have a great knack for evoking a particular time and place! To answer your question, I currently live in Dublin, in the working class district of Clondalkin. If I'm honest, there aren't many visitors to Dublin that make their way out here, but we _do_ boast one of Ireland's famous round towers. Unfortunately ours doesn't go all the way back to Viking times, but it _is_ 'out of history' nonetheless! My hometown is Cork, a port city of c. 200,000, which is built at the head of a natural harbour to rival even your own (really! Although it may be, of course, that you might have something to say about that!) I've been gone from there now for over 30 years, and still miss the place terribly! Speaking of Sydney Harbour, have you ever been out to Manley on the ferry? From what I can gather, those 'suckas' go out in just about any conditions short of a typhoon/cyclone(?) and from the videos I've seen, the waters around the mouth of the harbour look like they can be as serious as a heart - attack; they certainly look like they could take one of those boats 'quicker than *>`that!‘

@@richiehoyt8487 Thank you so much for such an interesting reply! I've really enjoyed reading it. Yes, I've heard of Clondalkin. Is it on the north side? Isn't there a bit of a rivalry between the north side and the south side? Is it north of the Liffey? Is that the dividing line? I, too, have a bit of a "Gra", as you say, for Ireland, and Dublin in particular, ever since I was a kid, just as you've had for Australia. More recently, it's all been Dave Allen's fault. I was randomly sent a video of his on KZbin, and through listening to him and reading about him, it rekindled my interest in Ireland. He was born in Dublin, when there was more rural areas, around Rathfarnam I think, and I've thought for some time that I must try and visit Dublin one day, and have my first ever Guiness on Irish soil! What a beautiful day that will be! Yes, I've been on the Manly ferry many times, and yes, it does get pretty rough out there. There's an expanse of open ocean between North and South Heads, ( there's that nth and sth thing again! ) and even on a calm day, the ferry is a rockin' and a rollin' ! I was sure we'd capsize! I was in Manly the other day, and live just a few kilometres away. It's a lovely part of Sydney. It's funny how you still miss Cork all these years later. It seems that Ireland really has a very strong pull on its people. Isn't it said that Cork is the real capital?
