Paul bids farewell to Germany and moves on to the Republic of Ireland. After reading about a male solicitor who is trying to break into the competitive world of female synchronised swimming, Paul travels to the picturesque and conservative town of Fermoy in County Cork to meet him. One of a distinguished line of solicitors, aspiring swimmer Colin wants to risk it all for what he sees as his right to be allowed to swim with the girls...

Paul’s visit to the Emerald Isle continues with a trip to Wicklow, where Irish Buddhist monk Viktor has created a spiritual retreat with a difference. Viktor calls the retreat his ‘midlife crisis park’ – a place where visitors question their lives. Paul takes a private tour with Viktor to see some of the most unusual sculptures he has ever encountered – from a boy slicing his head in half to a giant toothed vagina.

Finally, Paul heads back to the ‘rebel’ county of Cork. Until 1993 homosexuality was illegal in Ireland – but Paul is heartened to see a huge celebration of gay pride on the streets of one of Ireland’s most traditional cities, the city of Cork. Paul meets David Roche, head of the Cork Gay Project, to see just how much Ireland has changed since his childhood days.
Friend of Geraldine and me

Geraldine and i worked in a nightclub in Cork in the late seventies and early eighties, She was the cashier and i was a doorman.

A fair share of the gay community used the club as their base,this was before gays were accepted socially and gay Bars did not exist.

Some of the the lads were dancers in the Irish Ballet Company, the women's tongues would be hanging out when the lads were dancing. They had fine muscular bodies on them :lol: (so did i at the time) :oops:

They were great craic and lovely fellows.
David Roche, the guy mentioned in the Paul Merton post also worked there.


When they knew you were straight they was no Sexual harassment :lol: :lol:
