    Hmm so many good memories.


    Battle of the planets - I chose to be Jason ( the bad boy of the good guys).


    The Hulk - man that used to scar the bejesus out of me , but only when he changed into the hulk. well that was untill my uncle grabbed me one night and made me watch it.

    Mr Freezre Giant - 15 p and the red ones ALWAYS cut the side of your mouth.

    Going shopping with my mum and enjoying it - yeah the weekly trip to the local supermarket ( now where are they , most are now big chains like dunnes and tesco). But my fav was loading up our trollie with stuff i wanted, Ok i was told no .. so i put the stuff into other peoples Trollies :D , My crowning moment was when some kid got a slap off his Mum for putting something in twice ....

    Playing footy for 10 hours during the summer - during the 86 world cup we had a fantastic bit of sun , of course wwe went skins v's tops and replayed all the matches , I got so badly burnt by the sun that now when i do get burnt i don't feel it at all on my back/shoulders/arms.

    Bike rides - jsut going out for a cycle because i could. Heading off around the area discovering stuff and getting chased off the older kids.

    Nick Naks - Man they used to be the funnest thing since sliced bread =).

    Transformers - I Loved this show , just fantastic

    a real Fire - you know when you come home from school and it's been lashing down and your soaked to the bone , so you change ( usualy i'd get into my fav pair of jeans) and then stand in front of the fire to warm up. however the fire would superheat the jeans and if you tried to walk it would burn ( well not really burn) the back of your legs. As we got older we would try and push each other so that you would end up sitting down. still brings a big ass smile to my face.

    Sat morning cartoons - yeah , have to agree with most here . watching them , switching between channels becuase if you timed it right you could hit 5 or your fav shows without missing a thing. of course you would be so pumped up with sugar ( from the cerial and the sugar on top if it) that once they where over you would be out for the rest of the day.

    Bob a job - Man i used to love that. My fav was to clear out peoples attic's/garage/shed etc.. but any of the kwel stuff i'd keep and sell down the local car boot sale a few weeks later =).

    last day of school - everyone used to bring in toys and **** load of sweeties ... i used to love that 1 day of school .. rest of the time ... meh.


    The GAA - as i got older i was at first FORCED to go at about 10 am to practice , now this used to cut into my cartoon time , however i made some great friends and after i while i forgot about cartoons =).

    Camping - Going camping with the whole family , if you dad didn't loose his temper on the way to the site , then he would blow the top by the time the tent was up =).

    loads more .. but i gota get going.

    Well, musicwise my older brothers and sisters tortured me with everything from Hendrix to The Sweet.

    I had a little puppet that looked like biker Evil Knevel and it came with a device that geared up the wheels and then released them making them picking up speed. So funny
