It's 1993

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.

Only one thing you can do

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

JupiterKid · 27-07-2017 01:04AM

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

Four Pearl Jam gigs in week. What a time to be alive (pun intended).

Having a sneaky peek at the swimwear section in this year's spring/summer Family Album

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.

Esel · 27-07-2017 02:40AM

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.

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!
