    I loved Sabrina The Teenage Witch. Salem Saberhagen was the best thing about the show.

    Had just started college and hated it with a passion.

    I was about to turn 16, on mid-term break, and spent the week alternating between shifting the faces off my mates and playing football with my English gf........or something like that. It was a long time ago.

    I was probably lying on the sofa breastfeeding my 21 day old son who just fed non-stop. I could hardly move from him the hungry wee fecker. Now he is a big lanky weed of a thing who has finished first year at UCD and has a job writing content for websites...just like his mammy! :D

    His older brother who had just turned 3 was probably wrecking the house while I lay feeding and feeding and feeding.

    I was ten, so I was probably playing with a Barbie or teddy that night.

    Seems like half of the AH regulars were in kindergarten back in '97.

    I feel old.:(

    You're as young as the woman (or man) that you feel, my friend.

    I would have been in my junior cert year at school, though presumably was on mid term break at the time.

    I would guess I spent the day playing Lylat Wars (Star Fox 64) on the Nintendo 64. That game was according to google released in Europe on October 20 1997 ( a Monday!), so there earliest chance I had to buy it would have been Saturday October 25. I remember getting it in GAME on Grafton Street, and it came in a big box with the Rumble Pak :).

    There were no football matches played on Tuesday October 28, 1997, but as another poster mentioned on Saturday 25th Man Utd beat Barnsley 7-0 and Liverpool beat Derby 4-0. On Monday 27th Leicester beat West ham 2-1.

    1997? Hmmm....probably playing Duke Nukem 3D on the company network at about 2am in the morning.

    I would have been 16 and being a Tuesday I would have gone to work in quinnsworth after school where I was probably packing the drinks section while eating damaged Mars bars.

    It was drizzling that day as far as I remember

    Nah, it was lashing down :pac:

    Trapped in a 10 by 10 foot shed in Clontarf banging out the dance hits.....probably. Its hazy.

    19 years old. Was working in a Swimming Pool, carrying on from when I had worked there part time. Had decided I was done with school after finishing my A Levels, and was looking for what I called a proper job.

    I was 9.

    I think that was the mid-term where my bollocks of a cousin came up to stay with us for a week and wrecked my head. He was the same age as me so we always hung around together at family dos even though I didn't particularly like him and he seemed to love playing pranks on me. You can imagine what a week of that was like.
