What's your memories of 1994 ?

iMax

Was talking with a mate over the weekend (few beers, you know how it is...), anyway, we were talking about Reeling in the years & got talking about our own memories & came to the conclusion that the most fun we had was 1994 before we both settled down.

We were travelling in the USA that summer, had many a wild encounter & life was so simple & care free. It was also the summer Ireland played in the world cup in the US (although we didn't get to the games).

Was a great time in general.

What's your memories of that year ?

Remember hearing the news that Kurt Cobain died, then Beaches coming on the telly. That was a real tear jerker of a night:D

I remember starting secondary school and not much else.

the keen edge

1994 BC
or
1994 AD

I have memories of the latter but I've read the former was better, in terms of bronze related activity, and tombs? and the like.

Fago!

I remember spinning around in circles, crying and spilling some coca cola... I was 4!

candy-gal1

I never realised how old after hours was.:eek:

I was 15/16 - half my ****ing life ago! :eek:

Junior cert, World Cup, Riverdance - whatever you think of it now, the dancing looked incredible; first drink, first time going to a nightclub, first job (Tesco - then Quinnsworth), going on hols to Mallorca with my friend and her mum - hanging out with English lads in their 20s and reassuring them we were 18, Oasis's Live Forever - brings a lump to my throat now when it's used as backing music for the Houghton goal, the start of Britpop (mixed views on that myself), the IRA ceasefire... and a general sense of well-being in the air as boom-time started to become apparent in Ireland.

ScumLord

I don't remember anything that far back,

I remember Ray Houghton scoring in the 11th minute against Itlay in the Meadowlands.

The 90s are all somewhat of a blur after that.

Me too! I remember getting my face painted as a tiger and learning how to cross the road in playschool... And then being annoyed at my dad for making me hold his hand when we crossed because I'd already learned how




EDIT: Just noticed we have the same avatar. Weird.

Watching the World Cup final in a caravan in Carmarthen, Wales age 9.

Also met a bird there. Back in the days before email, facebook, mobile phones and what not. Should have asked for her postal address but I bottled it

Nope, that was the following year in Cork.

MetzgerMeister

Ah what a year!!

Main memories are Prodigy's Music for the Jilted Generation being released, TCC (as someone else mentioned) and the Féile here in Thurles.

Royale with Cheese

I remember going into my Dad's office and witnessing the internet for the first time. Also the first time I'd seen soundblaster speakers too.

Computers were extremely shít 15 years ago.

ZzubZzub

I was 6... Probably having the time of my life, with marla and what not!

arsenallegend

I started to learn guitar and piano
that was tough

Teddy Daniels

Lying on a beech with my friends and our women, in the sun in wexford smoking joints and drinking southers comfort; listening to the radio, no job, no school, no college and no responsabilities plenty of money from slightly naughty activities and my mothers car whenever I wanted it.

One of the standout years of my life it must be said and do you know where I came from? Failing first year in college.

OutlawPete

First thing that popped into my head, my little sister kept playing this on a loop ..

The Houghton goal was the same night I had my last fight.

First time I did a website.

Oh and someone was murdered in the basement flat of the house I was living in.

Good times!!

Persiancowboy

Hearing "definitely maybe" for the first time...wow!

:eek: Banging my ex-girlfriend (whom I hadn't seen in six years) after Ireland's "fabulous" nil all draw with Norway in the World Cup

:rolleyes: Two sun-drenched weeks in Crete in mid-September.......

pickarooney

College begins... I remember an absolute ****load but in no particular sequence.

Ticktactoe

The year was a bit of a blur, but I'm pretty sure it was Dublin.

Yep, while leading the San Marino grand Prix. Thats all I remember.

Dudess

Oh it's just there was a high-profile murder in such circumstances in Cork about that time.

It was also the year of Fred and Rosemary West - my bro had a look of Fred West (seriously, it was pretty uncanny ) hence much japes and hilarity from his friends...

Roland Ratzenberger also died at the same Grand Prix but in qualifying.

The Escobar thing.

Mars Bar

I started primary school and I won a World Cup Football in a colouring competition. Still have the football and it is still inflated!

*a certain aunty of mine might have coloured that picture in for me, I wanted the damn football!*

finishing second year in colllege - going on a J1 to the US - working down in tacky Jersey on the shore - great times though - hot and horny american girls were a very pleasant change from frumpy frigid Irish gals back home (this was the era where fashion for Irish girls was a wolly jumper and it was still a bit of a sin for a girl to touch a lad's mickey!). Going to the Ireland-Norway game at Giants stadium, nights out in New York, living it up in Cape Cod...
parties every night - a bit wrecked at the end of the summer and then on to France for a college year abroad - a little studying, a lot of partying and french girls.
yep - probably one of the most carefree and fun years for me too.

BeerWolf

Being an avid gamer, playing DOOM for the first time... I think, or was that in '93? Sonic&Knuckles, Earthworm Jim, and Daytona USA in the Arcades to name a few

Competing as a Swimmer in the Fobissea Games representing me School...

Roller Blading enthusiast...

Hmm, drawing a blank :pac:

After he scored an own-goal while playing for Columbia against the USA in Los Angeles. Columbia was figured to go far in the World Cup that year as well.

They figured the amount of drug money that was gambled between both sides was incredible.

When you are from Medellín and you just cost drug dealers a fortune.......don't go back to Medellín.

novarock

Ray Houghton - Giants stadium... Awesome..

RayM

It's so hard to believe it was 16 years ago. I started secondary school on the same day that the IRA announced their ceasefire. I seem to remember Seal's 'Kiss from a Rose' and Sheryl Crow's 'All I wanna do' were almost permanently on the radio back then. Oh, and Whigfield, of course...
