    Feeling nostalgic today, so looking for reminders of the good stuff.

    You don't even have to believe it, but could see someone making a case for it. Stuff like:

    Best brass band in the world
    Best film (about a kid and a doomed kestrel) ever made
    Best chat show host
    Best cricket umpire
    Best motorway slip-road anywhere etc etc.

    Pushing it a bit with the film (good as it is)

    and I think you might get some objections on here as to the chat show host!

    Be hard to think of a better film about a kid and a doomed kestrel!

    Apart from the slip road, my list isn't about my views - they are things I've heard other people make a case for. I was looking for more of those - what people might have heard other folk proclaiming in the pub at some advanced hour.

    Best not to go there.

    The gay quarter of Dublin put him through the 'ringer' a bit.

    Old people that dress in winter clothes on the hottest day of the year

    Men and women in their early 40's that still think it's 1983, just drive past New Lodge Club on any sunny Sunday and look in the Car Park.

    People that think having something to eat and not drowning it in gravy is exotic

    Old people that refer to any legal/illegal imigrant, asylum seeker or asian as 'THEM KOSOVOS'

    Clueless party goers that think it's MAD to go dancing on the tables to Belinda Carlisle in Treadles Wine Bar on a weekend

    just seen one old dude kitted out in the old person classic shade of nothing, beige.

    Huge coat on and scarf up to his chin.

    Off home to complain about Them Kosovos whilst eating raw brain covered in gravy.
