    It's hardly that big of an event that people would remember where they were.

    Or are you trying to check if everyone has an alibi?

    B!ue pulls up her collar, slowly turns away, and shuffles off whistling an old Boogie tune.

    First thing I thought when I read the title: "I knew that already"

    Wondering why journalists go probing dangerous criminals and endup getting killed.

    I was in school learning how to use grammar.

    The OP has a condition

    probably reading a good newspaper

    I don't rememember, but I remember where I was when news broke that the general had been shot. I was in the car, on my way to Carlow. Its a harrowing event, any child would remember it. Carlow, that is.

    Ironically enough, I was around the spot where Guerin was shot when I heard that Cahill had been shot.

    I'm guessing I was in school. June 1996 wasn't it? Yeah, school. Unless it was a weekend in which case I was probably playing tennis.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,134 ✭✭✭Lux23


    I was on a bus on my way to Carraroe to a very ****ty gaeltacht that was there and probably still is there.

    I was probably running around muck hills or playing football, in fact I didn't find out she died till 2005.

    Kinda, like she is just a character in a fictional film. :D

    Bloody hell, you must have been fairly traumatised if it had such a lasting
    and memorable impact on you as a three year old.

    That "hit on the head" must have given him special powers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    He could be leading a Quantum Leap kind of life. Should we tell him that he never makes it home? :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,183 ✭✭✭Peared


    I had passed the spot about 10 minutes before it happened.

    Am very very very glad about that 10 minutes, wouldnt like that kinda sh*t in my memory banks thank you very much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,873 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    Maybe the trauma of reading crime reports in the Sindo as a 3-year-old has led poor harryharry to the point where he is addicted to cigarettes after one smoke 12 years later.

    how freaky is that

    ive been reading a lot about her these days!!!

    In fairness to the OP, in the film that was made in 2003, the narrator says at the end:
    "Everyone in the Republic of Ireland remembers where they were when they heard that Veronica Guerin had been murdered on the Naas Road"

    I don't and i was someone in ireland at the time. Should i sue the film company for misleading others? :cool:

    You dropped out though,didnt you?You figured using the word "retarded" in every sentence would suffice.

    Just think if you were 'servicing' harryharry's ma for the preceding 3 years
    he could be the fruit of your loins. If ever their was a case for contraception... ;)

    God no, if I had a child as stupid as him he'd be up for adoption straight away.
