    Can't believe Liverpool haven't won the league this year!! 2 long years now since we won it!! The F.A. Cup alone this season is just not good enough.

    Although I still stand by my earlier prediction that they will reach at least 23/24 league titles before the year 2000, and 30 by the year 2010.

    Donegal vs Dublin All Ireland final.. Donegal win Sam Maguire for the first time. Then followed a week long party in Donegal Town, then the blood transfusion service arrived in town looking for blood... bad timing!

    Bill Clinton has been elected President of US.

    Seems a good family man.

    Interesting thread. I was only young myself in 92 but all the talk here of Ireland being a poor country at that stage? The streets were not paved with gold but I don't remember it being anything of the sort. I went to a very rural school too, by no means in a rich area. Wind on a few years to 98, 99 etc when we are all a little older. Ireland seemed like a pretty buoyant place to live in: did we really make up so much ground in 6 years or are some people nostalgically remembering things as slightly worse than they were?

    I was 10!

    I'd have started a thread " Sh1t, I'm pregnant" and it would probably be moved to Personal Issues for more constructive advice :)

    There are somethings I read here that didn't happen in 1992 or they are talking about. 1992 was a beginning of the take off. Did my leaving cert that year so I was paying way more attention to the economy as it was suddenly be my first real adult thoughts.
    In Dublin there was a lot of building work at a scale that was very new as it was private companies and not state funded. I was going to study civil engineering as I could see the building industry was going to explode.
    Computers were about and I was pretty tech savy having had a few computers growing up (strangely some people here mentioning the Commadore 64 as I had one when I was 12 and had 2 after that by 92). The idea of being a programmer was way more complex and program languages were no where near as easy as they are now. The luxury of the editors now is astonishing compared to programming back in the day.
    By 94 Dublin was going crazy with money compared to the past. What many people don't get is the Tiger years were on top of a massive change. There was massive optimism where the Tiger years was simply gross indulgence. When I was in school I expected to emigrate but when I was finishing school there was a huge buzz with hesitation but no gloom at all.

    No one in 1992 would have said that; he was plagued by rumours of infidelity.l throughout the campaign. Hillary had to say she was "no Tammy Wynette stand by your man" type of wife to refute them.

    I have a feeling I might be going to Lourdes next year

    You know the way some people say as you get older you remain a certain age in your head?

    In 1993 I was the actual age that I think I still am. It was a positive time and I still think it was only a few years ago.

    ;)

    Isnt there a 1993 post? Ah **** I was a year short of the age I am in my head, in 1992 so

    I'm five, I take naps, play with Barbies, and my favourite foods are peaches and mashed potatoes with onion gravy. I will go to extraordinary lengths to avoid having my hair washed and I think school is an unnecessary intrusion on my playtime.

    I am very frightened of Hallowe'en masks, which an older cousin discovers and uses to terrorize me when no one else is around to see it, until my granny catches her and figuratively provides her with a new orifice. I haven't spoken to her since.

    I'm not allowed on the internet so I don't know about AH.

    I'm 20, going to college, driving a 100cc Suzuki and when I can get a 1,200 baud connection to a BBS in the UK, the Sysop would just gun half the eejits on After Hours if they turned up. :pac:
