Yes the "good life" a bit before my time but i have seen some repeats on yesterday channel or one of those. It seemed an idealised portrayal of upper middle class suburban life in the 1970s in UK. Did we have an equivalent here of that? Maybe south dublin had a bit of it.
There was a far smaller upper middle class anywhere in Ireland in the 1970's than there is now.

Gosh, fully expected to come on here to read the posts about the death/possible murder of Ann Widdecombe - a fairly prominent and visible figure in British political life for as long as I can remember. A bit of a character who spoke plainly, forthrightly and passionately - didn't take herself too seriously either.

Very shocked and sad to hear of the death of Dermot Murnaghan, R.I.P. Had not heard that he made an announcement last year about his stage 4 prostate cancer.
Fair play to FIFA, a minute's silence and big pictures of the young man displayed before matches and players wearing black arm-bands. Sometimes they can do the right thing without making money from it. RIP Jayden Adams and condolences to his family & friends.
