A neighbour calling to your house out of the blue for a cuppa

The Stations

Ringing someone without first asking if it's OK to ring them 

Calling a house phone and asking is such and such there
They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...

I hate that idea of someone msging me asking is it ok to call 

Prefer if they just phoned. I usually don’t answer and phone back when I’m ready for it

Meeting someone under Clery's clock and if you both weren't there at the said time you didn't meet them.

Buying a paper match ticket off someone

Paying with cash (none of this tippy tappy sh*te)

Buying newspapers and magazines

Buying credit for your phone

or better yet not having a phone

Writing letters to people to keep in touch

Being able to stay up later on a school night in the neighbours house eating ham and cheese triangle sandwiches Cool

Anytime I ever mentioned that to anyone from Dublin they hadn't a clue what I was on about. LOL

Even mentioned it to a lad from Galway city who hadn't a notion about them. 

Must have been a small town/rural west of Ireland thing.

Is that the stations as in the religious stations? Why would you do that at home or a neighbours house. Once a year job in the local house of god is all I ever remember about that.

No it's a different thing. Basically a priest would come to a local house and say some sort of mass and all the neighbours would come. Tea and sambos then for the night 

The following year a different house would host it

Going into my mother's workplace after school and seeing the army parked outside, going in and out to transfer money under armed guard. Never realising it was to do with IRA hijackings and kidnappings. Don't fink that happens anymore Jeff.

My mother and her boss showing me the sabotaged money that was timed to explode a certain length of time after leaving the building rendering the money marked in the event of a robbing.

My mother helping the peelers catch someone who was on the run and wanted for murder who came into her workplace like the good tout that she is. I forgot about that wan until my brother reminded me the other day.

Mother and her boss showing me the button under her desk that she was supposed to push to alert the peelers in the event of a robbing and me pressing it like Dougal in Father Ted.

Her boss being an alcoholic who drank on the job and, with hindsight, was clearly pissed out of his head whenever he was chatting to us while we were waiting for mother to finish work and bring us home. I fink being out of your gourd on the job in Ireland died out in the 90s and early 00s Jeff.

Getting a bus to somewhere in the sticks like Balla or Kiltimagh and fingering somewan for the first time at a teenage disco. "I didn't fink it was ever gonna happen Jeff. Top top moment in my career." I don't fink those teenage discos happen anymore and have died with the rural pub and drink driving. Was about 25 pubs in my parents patch back in the day and now there's about 3. Cry

Thats right. I think the priest would also come to the house the afternoon of the stations and bless the house as far as I remember. Would pop in for a cup of tea in one or two of the neighbours houses too.

Town leagues 

Rivalries between housing estates 

It's also mad how rare it is to see kids out playing ball in the estate now.

Young lads walking around with their runner laces not tied to look cool

Young gangs in housing estates with ghetto blasters on their shoulder

Horses roaming around council estates
