The eighties were better ?

oops !
have to say I thought the 80s were much better, could afford to go for a few pints nearly every night with pals, even though I wasn't working full time....music was great and life was simple. It seems to be rules and regs for everything now, state interference everywhere you turn...hate to think what the next decade will be like!
22) Drink Driving
23) Slap the wife around
24) Slap the kids around
25) Be openly racist and homophobic
26) Smoke everywhere
27) By proudly misogynistic
28) Litter everywhere
29) Let your dog out in the morning to poo everywhere
30) No use contraception (because it was banned) but still blame women if they got pregnant
... great times...

on the plus side
- music was so much better
- footballers were normal
- the short puck out had never been heard of
- Love Island did not exist
- food was simpler and no-one took photos of their dinner
- The a team, Magnum, Hill street blues. Cheers, the list goes on and on and on
- choc bars were a decent size
Looking at that list I think some people still seem to be living in the 80s
In other 80s related news, I miss Dalys 80s on RTE Gold. Was a great 1 hour programme mixing the songs of the era with random news snippets and ads.
Depends where you lived. In Dublin we had 4 channels in the mid 1970s. RTE2 was #5 in late 70s and Channel 4 was #6 in early 80s.

On a global scale
People were poorer in the 80's
People had less access to education; In particular females in developing countries in the 80's
People lived shorter lives in the 80's
People had less access to healthcare in the 80's
2019 is the best year in history to be alive and 2020 will be better and 2021 will be better again.

I don't know about that.
Is she the auld-wan who used to smoke turf and threw her son off a cliff and then, in posterity, subjected generations of kids to hours of torture?
Did she know that she would be the biggest factor in generations of children hating Irish?
