    Yeah but The Rock is still champion and every album the RHCP have released since Californication has sounded the same as it.

    Things haven't changed that much. :)

    1990 was 23 years ago :(

    It only feels like yesterday when Italia 90 was on and about 20 of us were up on top of a bus shelter rocking the bollox out of it after David O Leary scored that peno.

    I was 9

    Jurassic Park is twenty years old.

    Despite my knowledge that this is indisputable fact, my brain can't accept it.

    ray houghtan scored in the giants stadium 19 years ago


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,846 ✭✭✭Fromthetrees


    I can remember a big uproar over loads of horsemeat being found in burgers and ready meals that was suppose to contain cow.

    Remember the government of the day held meetings and committees to discuss the issue. IIRC it was reported in all the papers and news outlets.

    Think there was even a few threads on a site called boards.ie about it.

    Funny times indeed.

    Doubt many people recall the events now unfortunately.

    If you were going crazy for Houghton's peno, I can't imagine the reaction to Dave O'Leary's.

    Emma would be 11 this year.
    Phoebe's triplets would be turning 15
    Monica and Chandler's twins would be 9
    Ben would be 18 in May :eek:

    Kids born in the year 2000 are either already in secondary school or will be going there this year... I remember my first day in secondary school... in the year 2000. Dear jesus.

    The Matrix is 14 years old.

    Terminator 2: Judgement Day is 22 years old (and still looks kick-ass to this day)

    and other things that just remind me of how quickly time is marching on, and "recent" things are actually from a generation or two ago...
