If I'm not mistaken, those cheerleaders are Katia Lotte (my little sister) and Stephanie Griffith-Richards.

Mike in the photo; is that you with your back to the fence and your arms hanging over - in the blue sweater and shorts; beside the two little blondes?

Michael Alexander · February 27, 2008, 06:38:49 PM

@Rhona, I cannot tell, although I doubt it....me being Green and all, although I can see a slight resemblence

Rhona · February 27, 2008, 10:23:36 PM

I too see a slight resemblence - as I do with the 2 blonde girls................is it possibly us!!!

Michael Alexander · February 28, 2008, 05:47:49 PM

I can't tell.... but check the kid on the bottom right of the Corner, stuck in the fence, maybe Koos?

Rhona · February 28, 2008, 09:58:40 PM

i was looking at that chid and wondered if he actually got stuck the gaps in the fence are quite small

Why did the PT shorts have that white stripe down the side? Did it make us run faster?

Rhona · February 29, 2008, 02:22:16 PM

Yeah, they were go faster stripe - same as when you got new trainers, no could run as fast as you then!!!

Michael Alexander · February 29, 2008, 02:25:40 PM

You mean they were racing stripes.... the big takkie brand was addidas... and those sanyo tracksuits...... what were those white takkies called, with the yellow/beige soles and the green stripe that went around the takkie...they had two small holes on the arch to let the air flow through.... and they were cheap....but they lasted for a decade.... not like todays tosh!

Rhona · February 29, 2008, 02:29:24 PM

Everything we had lasted an age...........even if you wanted the damn things to wear out so you could get something new - they haunted you like a curse........

Michael Alexander · February 29, 2008, 02:32:51 PM

I hated wearing those new School shoes, the black ones, that leather bit into your heels like a dog stuck to your leg.... plasters did'nt help......

Rhona · February 29, 2008, 02:35:21 PM

Spent most of our time out of shoes - even when we first moved to Ireland, stayed in our feet as much as possible..........I'm sure people thought we were either strange or more than likely they thought we were the poor kids from Africa..........even now when I arrive home from work I prefer kicking my shoes off and just going about in my socks........
