"Milk Mate" - it was an added flavouring to your milk. Chocolate added to Milk. Not very appealing now but seemed like a good idea to a 10 year old. Surely the next step in food revolution was to market "Cheesy Peas".
Bonfires in Neighbours Back Gardens - Some Oul fella's on the housing estate were obsessed with this. They were only happy when old tyres, bits of hedges, household items, family members were stacked up and set alight.
A local "Andrex" warehouse burned down close to a neighbours house. Police suspected Arse'in. ;)
Coat please.
Bags of milk given out in Primary school?
No loss that.Quote:

And seeing Cadet mentioned there has put that
bloody song from the Cadet Cola advert in my head :mad:
I think it went something like this (at least this is whats in my head) ...
Cadet Cola, Cadet Cola, Cadet Cola, Cadet Cola, Cadeeeeeeet
Lemonade Cadet Red Lemonade
and had marching bottles of cola/lemonade
Rubble Bubble?
Golfball chewing gum for a penny. Those chewing gum with the superman "tatoo" where you applied them by licking your arm and sticking it on.
Those big yellow banana flavour chewy refresher sweets.
Bringing your empty glass bottles back to the shop and getting money for it.
And the stupid one marching behind the rest of the bottles-Cadet lemon soda with lime:DQuote:

Think it was called space dust or something.

Headers and Volleys anyone?
something tells me that might not have changed though.....
our cobh world cup was simple as pie..
jumpers for goal posts one keeper and as many players as the field would allow..
a series of rounds took place depending on numbers. one or two goals to progress in the first round and so one.. if the keeper didnt want to stay in goal the first player through the first round would go in goal for until the next round or until the original keeper got through early in the same round he would then return to goals. one of the players who gets knocked out in the first round has to go in goals for the round and this carries on for the game..
think thats all the rules we used go by....
oh and if u hit the ball into the o connors back garden u had to get it even it spike the dangerous dog was in there..... no exceptions
Thats what we called Wembley. Great game alright.Quote:

Did people have arguments over hand-ball and whether you could chest or knee it? with a couple of lads i knew, it used to change depending on whether or not they commited the offence!!!! :8
We called it '3 goals in'. Same really. You'd need at least 4 playing..jumpers for goalposts. One keeper, nominated at the start. Keeper would start by throwing it in, and the outfield players would compete til one of them scored 3 goals. Then he went in goals until someone else scored 3 and so on etc...great game. Led to a few good rows too....:pQuote:

paul o shea we all played against each pother... its not nods and volleys its like a match but youve no team mates... survival of the fittest
genius... i wish we'd thought of that. we just had one keeper who either played the entire thing on goal or had/got to sit the game out after the first round and the loser went in sticksQuote:

The main difference from the Cobh version is that when you were knocked out - you stayed out.
As the rounds progressed - a row of shame formed at the green wall.
This resulted in a prestigious final between the remaining two with a ready made (and slightly bored) crowd.
We played it that the keeper for round 1 got a bye into round 2 and the first round loser went in nets from then on. Subsequent losers were just knocked out.Quote:
