I live beside Clonliffe avenue where the opening scenes were shot. We played football at the railway bridge looking onto Clonliffe Rd. I actually recognised a few of the faces. I wont name the kids of course but sad memories of being young. Ah to be able to go back and be young again.

@@pauljames745 Hi Paul. Someone actually sent me the link who is now living abroad. For me it was fantastic in a way to see this but on the other hand it wasn't good being reminded how old i am now. Wishing I could go back and be young again is too sad to take.

Drinking like that was a, right of passage for 90% of the kids back then.. Look how young some of them were... I was 10 when this was made but I recognise most places in the film... They really were the good old days.. No kids faces stuck in phones.. No such thing...
