Papers continued. Conor Cruise O’Brien and Andrea Corr an unlikely pairing!

Here’s one for [Alan Kinsella], a double sided Pat the Cope €/£ converter card!

One from the Autocar archives!

The Christmas shopping receipt, a tax disc for a 1.9 SDI VW Polo and a parking disc!

As you might have guessed, that wasn’t Powers in there, it was Poitín, made by a neighbour who is sadly no longer with us. Funny what happens in 20 years. We reckon it’s 60% and we’re drinking it.

Everyone who was at the party and was U18 did one of these pages and submitted it, here’s mine. Keep your ambitions modest and you won’t be disappointed kids 😂

Everyone who was there that night, all with us still bar 1, RIP Mai Quinn.

Photos! Spent most of the turn of the millennium playing 4 player Crash Team Racing with the neighbours it seems!

We just scratched it, not a winner! And that’s it, happy new year!

In fairness.
