So strap yourselves in, cast your mind back to the days of Brit Pop and bowl cuts and get ready to enjoy a little bit of indulgent nostalgia. These are our best bits!
It was a Golden Age and we didn’t even realise it.
You could safely make a total and utter eejit of yourself back in the 90s, safe in the knowledge that it would only be seen by the people who were standing around you at the time.
Hard to believe, we know. Before all those terrible reality shows, it was just wall-to-wall music videos.
It was like a musical form of fishing. Finger poised on “Play” and “Record,” you’d wait for just the right moment and pray that the DJ didn’t talk all over the intro.
The. Hottest. Summer. Ever. If you weren’t there, you don’t know. That summer is like ‘Nam for Irish people of a certain vintage.
No amount of super splits could keep you cool and the soundtrack for the summer was the sound of thermometers exploding.
There was no checking Wikipedia back then. Anything was true if you could make a convincing enough argument.
Not just a fashion choice. Playing football with your collar up was a statement of intent.
You had to go outside to be sociable. The closest thing to FOMO was getting an engaged tone when you tried to phone your best mate.
We were probably the last generation that was told to “Go outside and play and don’t come back until you’re hungry.”
Refresh. Refresh. Refresh.
You can’t take that ninth planet away from us. We’re keeping Pluto, whether you like it or not.
Back in the 90s, it was still a fresh and unsullied place full of hope and optimism. Believe it or not, you could spend hours on the net without encountering trolls, abuse or racial/political intolerance. Yeah, we know.
Dial-up was minus craic. But that feeling of satisfaction when a page finally loaded was hard to beat!
That Celtic Tiger was purring away and the world was a place of hope, optimism and decent weekly pocket money. What could possibly go wrong!?
Simply the best. This isn’t even up for debate.
Simpler times…
Keane, McGrath, Irwin, Bonner, Whelan, Houghton and Aldridge to name but a few. Big names for big games.
Club Zero Super Split combines the classic Club taste of juicy oranges with smooth vanilla, for a taste sensation that is sure to take you back… and it’s zero sugar. It’s available for a limited time only this Summer in 500ml and 2lt pack formats across all major retailers so be sure to snap it up while you can!
