    2020 will now go down in the annals of time as the Covid year. It will be defined and remembered by this pandemic.

    What is the first thing that comes to your mind for specific years gone by...

    For example...2002-Ireland's currency change to euro.

    All these were released:

    - halo 2
    - half life 2
    - mgs3
    - gta Andreas.

    1989 Berlin Wall "falling". I have so many strong childhood memories about this. I was fascinated. I had become weirdly interested in the whole situation through watching Night Crossing. Then seeing it all play out on TV was just incredible. But a lot of the memories I connect it with are very ordinary everyday ones, like what I was eating when it was on TV, and what my mam was wearing.
