    Anyone remember the days when only place you could get it was Roches Stores?
    It was stacked awaty from booze section with another drink "Sanotogen" (I think?), and it's biggest turnover was to little old ladies as a booster.

    Captain D,
    You need to organise an urgent buckie festival outside a Mr. finnergan's house in mass demonstration at his lack of understanding of Galway nature. Maybe we can run him out and back to lala land.....

    You know something, that actually sounds like a plan! :D

    The man brings such self righteous pomposity to the air waves, it makes me want to spew.

    Keith Finnegan is a moron full stop.

    it goes something really cringy like....

    " the keith finnegan show, bringing you news and current affairs.... without you we are nothing, together we become the heartbeat that drives our community.... topical matters, provided by you, discussed by keith finnegan"

    like f*ck off you utter prick

    Post of the thread. I don't want to say bad things about keith finnegan as after all he's just trying to earn a living and probably has kids and relatives who might be reading this thread and i think we all must remember this when posting comments but whether he's a nice person or not off the air the guy most definitely comes across as self righteous and pompose on Galway Bay fm.

    I don't own a television and just listen to the radio, but Galway Bay is probably the only station I haven't got tuned in to my radio simply because of the non-sense I hear on it so regularly. I think that says something.

    But you see it's not just a bottle of wine if it were nobody would buy it.It's bought for the buzz you get off it and there is simply no other drink out there that will give the same effect.
    Mad Dog, Sanatogen, Mansion House.

    Irish Bucky is pretty foul anyway, too ****in syrupy

    Buckfast is a tonic wine, and althogh alot of people just use it as a cheap way there are still a number of people who drink it medicinally. I used to work in a supermarket and would often have old people come up to me asking for a bottle of buckfast.

    Ban buckfast, what next cheap cider???:D

    I remember we used to get that when we couldn't get our hands on Buckie. Jeez, I haven't seen a bottle of that since about 1993-94.
    Happy days:P:D

    Never had Sanatogen or Mansion house but i can tell you Mad Dog definitely never had the same effect it was only popular because it was so easy to drink and had a high alcohol content.I remember drinking Thunderbird before Bucky became big but it definitely never gave the same buzz of Bucky.If there was a similar drink that had the same effect it would be common knowledge in Galway.

    Glass and the remains of the drink, Buckfast, hit the two crew and their 70-year-old patient in the incident near Banknock in Stirlingshire.

    lolz, what did it do, rebound off all 3 of them?

    Buckfast is Nyom. I've lived in a few different places and Galway and southern/ central Scotland are the only places I've seen where it's popular! It's lovely stuff!

    In Galway / UCG in the late 90s there was a satirical magazine dedicated to Devon-made tonic wine. "Buckfast Supernova". It too was rather excellent.

    Ah the good old days. I once drank 2 bottles of bucky, half a flagan of devils bit (the dirty 3 litre job) and 4 cans of scrumpy. Drunkest dole day I ever had, a right mess.

    Excellent stuff. No point trying to ban the stuff. Just ban people suffering from drunkeness (buckie induced or not) and related injuries from a&e. Should wipe out a fair few alcos and wasters. Save a bit of money too.
