ah sure we'd da celtic tiger, so money was no prob back then ffs i still remember me 1st 088 mobile phone i had, it was huge with a pull out antenna nd cost 1pound20 per min nd ya had to climb ditches nd walls to get reception
aye i often blew 20/30euro on a night in that place nd there was no such thing as using proper lingo as we were restricted to 140 letters per txt so it was all txt lingo that we needed to decode to make out what they were saying
it was a chat room run by TV3 tru their teletext service, u'd send in a txt nd it would appear on the 3txt page, was bloody expensive as they charged 50cents per txt, i used to be regular on there but it has been closed down with bout 3yrs now, it was the only chat room available to us culchies who had no access to the internet back then
birthday number one....
