Producing And Printing A Newspaper, Dublin City, Ireland 1979

So exciting to work in journalism in those pre-internet days.

I used to be a newspaper boy in the '80s. When we went in to the Evening Herald depot to collect our papers, there would be huge bins of yesterday's lead plates in bins all around the place, ready to be recycled. We used to pick them out and play frisbee with them when we were waiting for the papers to come down the chute. There was also a load of fellas on Vespas with big aluminium buckets on the back of them to deliver the latest papers to the shops and vendors around the city. Ours were addressed to "Whacker - Vendor". Whacker was my grandad's name who sold the papers before I was born.

I didn't realise The White Horse went back that far.. I think it became the Dark Horse and then back to the White Horse, if I remember correctly. Good times in there on a bank holiday weekend. 🙂

[@speakertreatz]

it went from Dark Horse to Starbucks, I'd some good times in there too. The White Horse was a great place to have your first few gigs as a band in the 80s and 90s, the management didn't care what you sounded like as long as you brought a few people.

@@speakertreatz That's right. I remember it being both White Horse and Dark Horse in my time of visiting. But yeah, it's a generic Starbucks now. Like much of the countries cultural hubs they've now become places to cater for tourists. My friend told me that he saw Green Day there. Would that be right? They played their first Irish gig in that venue. Not really a GD fan myself but I love some good music trivia.

@@kapturelab that's a new one on me, I've never heard that rumour although it's possible. It only held about 100 people comfortably (the upstairs) and i remember always feeling a bit worried about the floor, it seemed to move under you and threatened to collapse. As regards it eventually ending up as a Starbucks, I'd put that down to the exorbitant rent being charged in the city centre, so many shops, pubs etc just can't afford it

Those were the days my friends, I miss the call of the paper boys selling papers with news from all around the works, I also miss the old gas lighter fellows the Lamplighters/Gas Lighters and the Knocker -Up that roamed around the streets of old London town, tapping on people frosty bedroom windows on bitter cold winters morning with a long stick, making sure that you got up at 5am to get ready to go to the docks, the markets etc on time, nowadays we have to rely of our mobile phone to wake us up, I prefer it when it was done by humans

That's Aonghus McNally. His father Ray starred as the Bishop in The Mission....

[@paulwelch1992]

It's his brother Conor. He's one of the guys who brought us MTUSA. That was a game changer.

Around 5:50, what’s that song and who’s it by? (The funky tune)
