Ireland was still sort of... normal then. Everyone wasn't driving Bmers yet. You could still afford to buy houses.
And the sun was splitting the stones.
Daysunt summer.

What are you on about you mentaller? Bmers??? what? WHAT?

 

[flashback]

Ireland was still fairly normal in 95.
It was Scientician! I swear.
Less of these

more of these

1990. World Cup. Best. Summer. Ever.

i think i played soccer everyday that summer until it went dark.
however this happened in Cork so really shouldnt be in this thread....

 

[flashback]

I think I learned how to do banana kicks that summer.
In Dublin, obviously.

I have fonder memories of Euro '88 than Italia '90, I think.
I went out the back garden during the penalty shoot-out to play football with my dad as we were both too nervous to watch.
Nothing in Italia '90 beat that moment when we went 1-0 up against England. We never went ahead in a game, for example. Less excitement.
Lovely summer though. I remember having training the morning of the final. Pre-season under 10s training.

1994. World Cup, still in college, relatively well paid summer job, good gigs, weather etc.

1995 had great weather but was overshadowed by tragedy

I turned over to watch Happy Days on channel 4 cos I couldn't watch.

kept flicking back though, and bravely stayed tuned for O'Leary's kick, once it became apparent Romania had missed one.

Lacatus, Lacatus, whereforartthou Lacatus.

Lets face it, if Lacatus wasn't injured there would not have been any Celtic tiger.

summer 99, for obvious reasons

 

[the strange guy]

1999.
Finished School, Loads of Acid, Pills, Hash, Booze and a fair share of Ladies.
And I still had both of my legs.


Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it.

1997 because i passed my leaving cert. I've achieved nothing since then.

05

Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs, lots of laughs.

You music folk and your drug-addled summers in Dublin. You don't know you're alive.

Look I'm not doing too good a job on my first life to attempt a second life as yet.

95 or 96 I can't remember which it was, prettyy sure it was 96 though.

 

[plug]

I spent two summers in dublin and I can't remember anything about them except getting drunk as often as possible. which might explain a fair bit.
