What were you doing when you heard Veronica Guerin was shot?

Most of the posters on AH probably hadn't even been born yet.:pac:

I was in college at the time, just finished my summer exams. I think I was coming down off a (bad) acid trip when I heard that Veronica had been shot.

I was nine years old, and I remember being annoyed with my Mum because she was watching the news coverage and iI wanted a lift to my friend's house.

She kept saying "in a minute later10, in a minute" and I kept thinking "what a selfish cow; does she not know I have PGA European Tour to be playing on the Mega Drive?" My friend had a very small games collection.

I think I gathered that something significant had happened. But at that moment, all I took in was the image of the red sportscar, and being really pissed with my Mum.

Yeah, I was pissed with her too.

Ah if she only stuck to harassing defenceless incest victims instead of bad men with guns all this could have been avoided. Was on a polar expedition when it happened.
