It's 1993

A Battered Mars Bar

Following up from my other successful thread. It's 1993. You've no Internet and you can't watch TV because live at 3 is on. It's a grand day and you're off work because it's 1993 and you're unemployed. How best you spend your one day off AH? You start work tomorrow so no drinking much.

I remember back in 1993,
















I wasn't even born.

I could be reading the two books on Saint Bernadette (a graphic novel) and Lourdes, that I got when I was over there at Easter.

Live at 3 isn't on because it's the summer. And I'm 11 years old, so I have the whole summer off. And I'm not old enough to drink. I'm just in my room, eating Opal Fruits and listening to 4 Non Blondes on my ghetto blaster.

It was a very warm summer. We had eurovision in Ireland.

Drop some Planets or Supermans and listen To The Key The Secret or Open Your Mind on a continuous loop. :cool:

Listening to my favourite guy, Sting... Feb 1993.

Funnily enough, his most reluctant album release, Ten Summoner's Tales would be one of his most successful.

Any of you guys remember his songs? It was pretty 'popular' on the US Top 100 Billboards but so far I don't think many here remember his songs. Only stuff from his work in The Police.

The best film this year is The Fugitive

Don't forget Bjork's superb Debut was released this month back in '93. She was like nothing that came before or since...

I'd be panicking over what result I got in my 11+ which I was lead to believe would define my life. It was a lie. I got an A or a 1 whatever it was and I'm still a moron.

That 11plus was a horrible exam - putting so much pressure on a young child. I hope it's been abolished now.

I'm outside in hot pants, riding a giant steel barrel pretending I'm in the 1993 Grand National....

It has and it hasn't. Some secondary schools with high demand have an entrance exam.

I was in my second year of active military service. I was either shooting something or getting drunk. Every day was a day off.

Three serial off-enders in this thread already. Good bait or what?

Fleadh Mor festival kicked ass in Tramore, Waterford and red hot weather too. Ray Charles, Jimmy Cliff, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and loads more played.

And there was Feile '93 Trip to Tipp which I was at - all of 18 years of age and starting to grow my hair long and about to start college. Great line up too!!

Ah 1993!

Three Kilkenny bands in that lineup. Truly the golden age of the Marble City rock explosion.

I'm drawing a complete blank on 1993. I had just done my leaving but I don't know what I did all summer. Sunstroke in Dalymount is about all I can recall.

eviltwin

I was 16 and spent that summer hanging around Stephen's Green shopping centre with my friends trying to look cool and pick up boys.

Lorelli!

I remember watching The Big Breakfast in the mornings although it started in late 1992 and the same with Gladiators on a Saturday. The X Files started. Also another Eurovision win.

Did we have any memorable qualifying matches for USA 1994? You should have done 1994 OP!

I had just turned five so I was due to start primary school in September. I was dropped off to my grandparents every day as both of my parents worked. This meant being dragged to mass every morning, so that's probably where I was right about now.

The_Valeyard

1993,


Was that the start of the football stickers?

Senna

No idea what I did that summer, but I do know that was the last summer before I got a summer job.

Jrop

I was hanging out with my then boyfriend and my friends. Snogging the face off him lol

Hector Savage

I'd head into town to get the new Faith No More Album - Angeldust ...

Lorelli!

Weird "grand opening" to Supermarket Sweep with Ken Morely! "Never run with scissors Dale" :pac:

It's 1993 so I'm in Craigavon with 4 other people in a housing estate 50 metres from the RUC barracks that gets blown up the odd time. Rent is £35 per week between us.

Every morning/afternoon I get up in time for Neighbours. Breakfast consists of toast and tea. There is a Brit soldier in the garden that I pointedly ignore and some random dude from the pub on the settee that I offer tea to.

The day is spent mooching about with one or two of my housemates. Trips to the library are a highlight of the week. One of the guys has a job in the local cinema so on a quiet evening he can sneak us in to see Lorenzo's Oil or Chaplin. Dinner is made up of Koka noodles, a fried egg (another housemate's sister works as an egg collector) and if we are feeling flush a Denny sausage. All other money is hoarded for one or two evenings of collective drunkenness. Tins of LCL Pils are 60p each and a bottle of Bushmills is around a tenner. In times of financial stress such as when an electricity bill has landed we must opt for the cheap and watery beer whose name escapes me but it is only 42p a tin.

On sober evenings we play role playing games such as AD&D into the small hours before toddling off to bed as the sky begins to lighten. Sleep is frequently broken by some refugee from a nightclub banging on the door demanding admission so that they can continue the session. They are directed to the settee. Housemates may or may not keep them company just so long as they are relatively quiet.

Back when music festivals were just that, still great lineups by today's standards, except maybe chris de burgh. Why isn't feile still a thing?

The Davestator

1. Spent most of the summer worrying about my junior cert results.
2. Bought and drank some super cans of tab clear (500ml cans)
3. summer job of doing rehab pools

ah, those were the days

I was 17 and doing a Fas course in 1993. I got about £33 a week which I would spend on two rap CDs. I'd be listening to my new Ice Cube or Dr. Dre CD right now. It was a more innocent time of pimpin' ho's and poppin' a cap in a niggas ass back then.
