Saw the Stereophonics in a student union pub in London in 1997 just before they got ābigā. Drinking hooch iirc
I saw BB King in the āStadiumā. We were literally sitting on top of him.

Fibbers was a great spot. Mental of course, but great fun. It also had the phantom shitter, which was a real feather in its hat for a while.

There was a decent radio documentary on Newstalk between Christmas and new years about the national stadium. Led Zeppelin played there back in the day.

Deadly - reminds me of going into town on Saturdays and getting up to all sorts of messing. Crown Alley and surrounding area was a wondrous place.

Not as charming as the posh Goths from 1989.
The past truly is a foreign land. These people would all be late fifties/sixty now.

Probably not the right thread, just wondering how you react if this happened.
My missus was jogging on the running track in Mary I a while ago,
Sone (5)young lads 12-14 years old Iād say are playing football in one of the goals, theyāve come on bikes and one of the bikes is covering the running track, itās only about 4 feet wide.
Anyway Iām jogging along next to her, she says (loudly, not shouting or angrily) ālads, would you move the bike off the pathā
One of them shouts back in a very sarky tone ācalm the fuck down Karenā
What would you do?
Jog on

Ignore them. I was running the other day and a fella shouted wanker at me. When I turned around, I spotted they were stopped in traffic. Once upon a time I would have confronted the person. Itās just not worth the potential hassle.

Would you continue running loops (in this case) or go away altogether?
Iām happy enough with how I responded in hindsight but I was really annoyed for a while

Youād be mad to confront them as straight away theyād feel challenged in front of their mates and god knows how that would escalate ā¦

Id take it in spirit and actually laugh. If you had a chuckle at the comments, it would work out
Which was?
Iām starting to think I shouldnāt have fucked the bike over the wall now
