The yoof of today should really work to bring that back. There’d be far more riding, and far less of the old identity politics stuff. Plus Chris De Burgh would get paid royalties.

Id love if there were ceili's to go to, great craic.

That may be the case but it was around then when they were a craze in our secondary school.

There was one teacher who couldn't control a class (there'd be roaring and shouting of the highest order and then he'd loose it) but he'd have to lock his classroom door and we'd be lined up outside.

There was one day he didn't lock it and two of the lads in my class got in and covered the blackboard in these yokes with blu tac. So there we were all lined up waiting for the teacher to come along and as he "unlocks" the door and opens it we half barged in before he could see the board and the whole lot of us were in hysterics.

We started shouting "jausys sir would ya look at the boobies on the ace of spades" etc

Does anyone remember Boglins?

The one I remember fondly was where you cut your jeans/ school pants/ whatever at the ankle. I tried a google search for an image, but its hopeless unfortunately.

I used to do this with my school trousers. It was always good fun on the last day of school when everyone was trying to rip each others trousers.

About 5 years ago those bracelets with all the saints on them, came and went quickly but I remember every barman at my work having them.

In Donegal you often will see lads that are still stuck in the 90's/early 2000s. Just the other day seen a fella with spiky gelled hair, eyebrow piercing (HUGE among the boys in the bog for some reason), bootcut jeans, striped polo with collar popped, car with loud exhaust and spoiler.

No doubt he has his occupation as 'full time mad bastàrd' on social media.

The Rachel haircut was huge back in Friends heyday.

Oh, I unfortunately have a permanent one: a tattoo of a chinese/japanese character which apparently does not actually translate to anything comprehensible. Any time I start to think I might be smart I just look at that tattoo and am humbled immediately
