    Savage shtuff altogether! I remember bringing a girl on a date there when I was 14, paying for her hot chocolate (from my meager earnings washing neighbour's cars), went in for the shift later on, only to be told she had a boyfriend. All I think of was, 'I wasted a good hot chocolate on you....' :pac:

    Best hot chocolate in the world. Nice way to round off an evening after a few pints in Monroe's.

    Consulting my 1994 bus timetable it says I can get a town commuter ticket for £7pw or £25pm.
    I can also get a £6 day return to Dublin but it costs £2.50 return to Oranmore

    Increasing your lung capacity by holding your breath for extra long as you pass Taffes on hot sunny days. Noticing that even their dogs have evacuated themselves out to lie in the sun to escape the new summer pitch intensity of the smell.

    The dogs always looked half conscious actually.

    I think for the day that is in it you should go to Strawberry Fields and stroll along and get a bucket seat on the balcony in the Claddagh Palace. Get your sweets in Murrays first

    I still remember great ice-cream in Murrays' Nile Lodge back in the forties

    I'm going to walk as far as the RTC and hitch a lift to Dublin. Once I make it to Moate it's plain sailing after that. I think the Philosophers are playing there. Anybody want to come?

    My headache is gone after listening to that fella with a bunch of newspapers for sale under his arm shouting out 'Connacht Tri-bune' down Shop Street. That was just before I bought a pair of Liverpool socks in Stauntons.

    I parked my car on Shop Street the last day. Wanted to get a pair of Runners in Feet Athlete in the Eyre Square Shopping Center, and then grab something for my niece in Toymaster.
    But in the end, I ended up buying rollar blades upstairs in Champions Sports instead, and grabbed a pizza in Super Valu in the Eyre Square Shopping Center.
    No Bogarts for me tonight. Going to wait until the weekend, and go to Blue beside Garavans for one or two, and end up in The Alley

    Without trying to de-rail the thread, I was in Garavans at the weekend, and asked the barman about The Snug :)
    Seems it's just left derelict now.
    Also, I called it The Snug, and my friends called it Blue. Thought I had gotten it mixed up with another pub.

    Is that the pub of choice for UCG students these days? Hopefully I will get the points, studying hard for the Matric now just in case...

    Memories Biko. Rather like Neil Armstrong's alleged bad jokes about the moon - "I guess you had to be there" :rolleyes:

    Mam said she'd buy me a new pair of those Gola football boots at Christmas. I know that's a long way away but I can't wait.

    popped by the studios of i102-104 yesterday, they recommended this great vinyl album to me so I went straight down to Red Records on Eglinton Street. Afterwards I popped across the street to Game to buy the latest Gran Turismo game for my PlayStation 2.

    Time travel.

    Maybe us blow-ins should start messing with their heads over things that appear new but are really old :)


    Think I might head out to Salthill now there are double-decker buses on the route ...
