Following on from what I've heard my parents say for years, the years go quicker the older you get!

10 years ago:
I was 17
6th year at school
Greenvale was the 'in' place & no doubt planning the christmas & new year outing itinerary
Taking driving lessons in preparation for driving test in the new year
About to meet the now husband
Same weight as now 
Not a worry in the world

10years later:
work/mortgage/ trying to get a house liveable for christmas!  :'(

Hope for the next 10years:
The good life  ;D

I was in Phoenix Arizona, and golfing.
I was playing football with Clan na Gael in San Diego.
I was a Cardinals Season Ticket holder
My girlfriend (now my wife)  and I had a 3 bed apartment in Phoenix, with swimming pools and a Gym on site.
I was 26 :(

However, now I'm married, I have a house in Newport (although the swimming pool is a more natural phenomonen), a job at home, am coaching youngsters and have a 3 year old boy of my own.

It's been a great decade for me Thank God, so hopefully more to come.

newport in mayo Az ?

I'm guessing Tipperary closer to Offaly

I was telling anybody who would listen that Fianna Fail would destroy Ireland.
I was telling anbody that would listen that Bertie Ahern would be the ruination of Ireland and was fooling them all.
I didn't support any political party, all I did know was that I hated FF & SF.
I hated Meath Football (I don't anymore, I'm actually a bit of a fan now).
I really really believed that Mayo where on the brink of not alone winning Sam but winning multiple Senior Football All-Irelands.
I said I would never live in Dublin (I eventually did).

Time to take a more chill-pill approach to life.

DrinkingHarp

Moving into my first home.
Had a great paying job I liked.
Was in alot better shape.
Considering marriage (thankfully not).
Still older than most posters are now.
Wondering if Prince was going to do a remake of 1999.
Didn't kow about Al Queda, Swine Flu or HDTV.
Thought I was through with school.
Still didn't have internet access.

you were still going to the greenvale at 17??? Surely you were too old for the place!!!

10 years ago I was collecting the Ex's wee sister from the place and she was 15 - she was going to Clubland then at 16/17
