    The only thing I truly miss about the 90's is how far money went. Give a kid a pound to get sweets in the shop and they came home with loads.

    We'd always round the order off with ''and the rest in jellies''.

    And chocolate and crisps tasting nicer and bigger bars of chocolate back then.

    All those genres established in previous decades.


    I'm embarrassed to have lived through and come of age in the 90's, probably the most boring and uneventful decade of the 20C.

    Shockingly dull.

    Jurassic Park and Speed: The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down came out in the 90's, your point is invalid.

    Two world wars, the holocaust and the A and H bombs... not exactly the worst indictment of a decade.

    FFS.:rolleyes:

    If you wanna talk Cinema as a defense of the 90s, the late 70s and all of the fooking 80s were Cinema gold from big budget to low budget.

    Jurassic Park and Speed, while decent stuff, were soap opera ****e compared to the 80s.

    The Matrix, aged remarkably well for a film released in 1999.

    That reminds me the NYE party in various places (Edinburgh for me) wasn't half bad.

    I used to love Xworks and Petrol Motion jeans.

    Oh no rolleyes!!! I'm truly defeated. I don't think Speed was great btw. Was just taking the p*ss out of our 90's hating friend. Speed 2 though, fcuking Oscar snub right there.

    Seinfeld, Classic Simpsons, Friends, Frasier, Father Ted.

    Spoiled for choice for comedy back in the 90's.

    The yokes were way better. I remember we used to wear incredibly bright shirts when going out on the pull. Those stupid Peter Andre haircuts. And no mobile phones, not sure if that was good or bad, just a different dynamic.
    It's normal for people to hark back to a so called Golden Age.
    Always liked this clip too...

    Scanda jackets and Carpet coats

    I think that's Laois footballer, Billy Sheehan (who's from Tralee) at 09 seconds - he's wearing the cap.

    And you gotta love the baby suppin' a pint of guinness. The good old days

    Unlike the decades preceding it, most young people had a spare bit of cash and weren't all miserable feckers longingly looking at flights out of the country. There was a great social scene.
