    Yeah wouldn't it be nice to have the ould 80s scumbags back again? They'd just windmill into you and give you a hiding with their fists. No blades were produced.

    Who remembers them wearing the 'Y' Yale black and white jackets and shiny salt n' pepa trousers (worn short to show off the white socks). Here a Puma breakdance windcheater, there a Nike boot tackie - maybe a rat's tail at the back curled up, or sometimes an outright mullet with all the top spiked up (done in Scholar's trainee hairdressers in lower Thomas St.). But always - always the classic wah face.

    Shame they couldn't include a clip of one of the Beat Ups on the Street in that Reelin' in the Years programme on RTE. There was a piece on breakdancers outside Todds. They might have another archive piece of Today Tonight on Southill with some lad who was into graffitti spraying trying to get into Tropics nightclub and being refused on the door. Cutting edge social conscience journalism in 80s Limerick.

    I remember there was a beat in the street in like 1998 in Baker Place/Pery St.
    It was sponsored by KitKat.

    That was the last one as far as I remember.
