Murph is right though I don’t trouble the barbers these days and you didn’t get highlights/hair dye at the barbers LOLLOL

They're actually the same drink. The 'Ice' bit is just a fancy term for the temperature.

Do you remember Bulmers Ice? It was like a cider that came out of the tap like a slushie. Was lovely had them in the stables in UL for a few months as a tester I think.

They love harp around Derry. They treat it as if it's a craft lager. Plenty of it randomly in Tbilisi too!

Getting a marker out to cover the union Jack on a pair of reeboks. If you didn't you got a hidin in school.

Long fringes and having a bullet dangle from the back of your docs.

Being able to buy loose cigarettes from the nearest shop to the school.

Reebok was always a bit of a naff brand.  Don't know anyone who had them.  Nike Air Max was the shoes you had to have.
