    Yes i recall this! With trepadation... i was a messy writer for most of national school... the shame


    "Sproai" magazine anyone? In my senior infants we had to do sharing because there wasn't enough to go around... the year would have been 1993/4 ... oo the poverty back then.. :D



    Sparkler ice pops? I remember them frombeing about 9 or 10 and being allowed to go to the shop on my own. I was jonesin' for one the other day, what with this hot weather, all the other ice pops are cream based :(

    or 20c cool pops, ahhh the E numbers, is it a wonder that now tonight I'm wired at 3.55 am debating wether to have gin or bourbon from my parents liqour cabinet.... E numbers never did us any harm.

    The old ESB ad with the 'Only You' theme and the guy getting up to do the bottle feed.

    When Tayto were only 20p

    When you could buy Tayto, a cornetto and penny sweets and still have change out of a pound.

    When a kinder egg was the height of excitement and a can of coke was 50p, and BIG Foot ice creams still existed (they were the business!).

    The ' School around the corner' with Gerry Ryan on a Sunday evening. Depressing knowing school was, just around the corner!

    Running home in time to see Bosco and flopping down in front of the TV.

    No homework on the first Friday of the month.

    Communion practices in the church,

    religion classes learning about Lazarus and Zachauss (sp?)


    School tours, being up at 7 in the morning with your packed lunch and laughs on the bus on the way back.

    Christmas school concerts and the practices leading to it.

    Ah them were carefree days, when your biggest worry was getting more easter eggs than your friends!

    Thank God. I thought Taytos being 7p was a figament of my imagination. The other 3p of my pocket money used go on a cola Mr. Freeze.

    Soda stream

    Murphys Micro quiz, had a bit of a thing for Mr. Murphy.

    Ray Houghtan's goal against Italy, I was a young whippersnapper and in the celebrations I managed to get our small Irish flag attached to those disgusting Fly papers and pulled it down straight onto my sisters hair, All I remember was Ireland winning and my sister sporting new short hair the following day. I was around 7 then!

    Yeah, when we had monsters like Lyons and O'Connell playing for us... beating the opposition into the ground :D
    And the past World Cups, with the flags hanging out windows and people painting their houses green, white and orange. Here's hoping we get some of that spirit back next summer!
