I remember at the age of 19 going in with my girlfriend for her to have a smear test and to go on the pill.

We both felt very grown up and when we walked back out the front door my dad pulled up right outside driving his bus for CIE

He opened the door and shouted out "did you get sorted " and laughed his head off.

Felt like a bold child straight away

They're used to be a yarn about the fella that had a mobile bill like that. It had a fantastic pedigree but had unusually short legs so farmers used to have to dig a hole for the cow to stand down into. Eventually they all got sick of the hassle and he was getting no business so he bought a new one of normal height. Now nobody knew about it so eventually he decided to place an ad in the local paper. It read...

"John Maguire is now offering a new high quality bull for mobile service to all farmers within a ten mile radius. This new one can bull cows without a hole"

Agree with ringing the girlfriend and her dad answering the phone ....bloody nightmare and sometimes if she didnt answer i wouldn't press button A (or was it B ) to pay for a call from a phone box.

I got my first mobile in 1991 at the age of 26....2750 punts in real money and bolted into the car so you couldn't remove it

The girls did because you got to watch the poor lad walk up all tongue tied and red in the face to ask you to dance in front of all your mates.

That was the real walk of shame when they said no and as you turned to walk back to where you came from you realised 2 things

"Climbing up the magazine rack to get the playboy down, and then flicking through it in the shop trying to not get caught."

Try being older when there were no mags sold here.

Every class in secondary school had one bloke that used to rob his dads copy of penthouse,mayfair or readers wives that he'd hire out and there was usually a queue of grubby young men waiting to get their hands on it.

Unless that was only Drimnagh Castle

I remember finding a copy of the naturist magazine H&E on the ground one day when I was cycling home from school. I nearly ended up with my arm in a sling a few days later.

Jumping on a rickety bus to Derry to go to Virgin Megastores and go buy Fat of the Land, then have to wait 8 hours for the next bus back again so I could listen to it at home!!

I've been holding onto a pair of brown corduroy flares from the seventies that I'm figuring are bound to come back onto fashion again. Mind you, I'd probably have to cut them in two and use them as arm warmers as that's about all they'd fit by now
