Fond memories for me with your reference...Anthony,<br /> Fond memories for me with your references to Leeson Street, Albert Street, Malt Street etc. I lived in Cyprus Street and to us kids in terms of what was going on back then it was the centre of the universe!<br />Cyprus Street between Varna gap and Plevna gap seemed to be the unofficial rallying point for the 'boys' when the gear came out and as you said not a mask in sight.kellmorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08645199050776883507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-85260627560477364212009-08-10T19:25:37.109+01:002009-08-10T19:25:37.109+01:00Rory, it was an exciting time, little doubt about ...Rory, it was an exciting time, little doubt about that. I recall that Notting Hill riot. <br />Larry, never saw the film. If it is as good as the book I will give it a miss!<br />Larry Hughes, first I knew of it. It must be an old one. There was one for the 25th anniversary which I appeared on. <br />Mark, it is not something I would want my kids doing. <br /><br />AnthonyAMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00559413440743290550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-5972222128058901512009-08-10T18:54:36.794+01:002009-08-10T18:54:36.794+01:00Well AM, would like to say 'God be with the da...Well AM, would like to say 'God be with the days but...., its hard to believe there is a degree of normality.<br />God bless.Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688888726966925636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-54048494023205135932009-08-10T12:38:16.419+01:002009-08-10T12:38:16.419+01:00Anthony,

Having been in Sligo for several years and Bundoran a small number of times my wife is speechless that Mountbatten would have the audacity to holiday there regularly.<br /> Though it was a bit "leprechaunish" of Ghandi to recommend Sligo lobster to the viceroy of India before he deperted larry hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09837849309156970989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-10149492102554024072009-08-09T23:56:08.210+01:002009-08-09T23:56:08.210+01:00many of the images you describe seem to be portray...many of the images you describe seem to be portrayed in the recently released film 50 dead men walking.

What an exciting way to spend your youth!...Antony,<br /><br />What an exciting way to spend your youth! Never been in a riot but I remember seeing Paul Simonson of <i>The Clash</i> on the documentary film <i>Westway to the World</i> talking about throwing his first brick at a riot in Notting Hill Carnival in, I think 1976.<br />He said that as he threw it he felt a huge sense of relief.<br /><br />Best of luck,<br />RoryUrban_Underclasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14595539222261952264noreply@blogger.com
