[QUOTE="wigan_rlfc, post: 275486"] JFK was shot? Before I was born England won the World Cup in 1966? Before I was born Man landed on the moon? Before I was born Elvis died? Before I was born John Lennon was shot? Before I was born Hillsborough? Too young to remember Princess Diana died? I wasn't aware at the time. I went to rugby training the following morning and somebody mentioned that Princess Diana had been in a car crash, I just shrugged it off assuming that she reversed into a bollard or something. then on the way home there was mournfull music on the radio. I asked my dad why they were playing it, he said "Well you know how Princess Diana has just died?". I turned to him with that horrible feeling you get in your stomach "You What!?!" 9/11? I was in school. Nobody mentioned it all day and I got the bus home. Still nobody had mentioned it. I got in put the telly on and kids TV was on, as a lazy teenager I couldn't even be bothered changing the channel so just lay there watching Mary-Kate and Ashley or some stupid American crap like that. About half an hour late my sister came in and shouted up the stairs "They've bombed the twin towers". I just shouted back down, "What Wembley? they're gonna knocking them down soon anyway, stupid Irish". the shout back was "turn BBC 1 on". London wins the 2012 Olympics? Not sure, I wasn't really paying that much attention TBH. 7/7? I remember getting out of bed on a hot summers morning, strolling down stairs, turning the telly on and thinking "F**king hell". Michael Jackson died? I was at home watching something like newsnight on TV. That went off then they went straight to the news studio for a special broadcast. I thought that royalty had died or something but it wasn't. I went upstairs and told my mum who'd just gone to bed, she'd just heard on the radio. Then I tried to phone my sister who was in Cyprus at the time but she wasn't answering so I text her instead. She phoned my a short while later asking if it was true. She said she'd been in a bar that played a Michael Jackson song but the news that he was dead hadn't even reached Aya Napa. They played it for the sake of plaing it not knowing that he was deseased.
