IT’S NOW 2016. Which means that 2006 was ten years ago.
Let that sink in for a second.
And now, cast your mind back to things that were perfectly OK in 2006:
1. Like the fact that Jamie Dornan sang in a band called Sons of Jim
It was a different world.
2. In 2006, this is how Government-backed schemes were launched
“Representing the difference in SSIA spending trends between men and women” apparently.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
3. In fact, the SSIA saving scheme was all the rage
As were the promotional photo shoots.
4. 2006 was a time when this spent six weeks at number one in Ireland
Ah, ten years ago.
*wipes away tear*
5. Kim Kardashian was just a stylist to the stars in 2006
Here, with Serena Williams.
Oh, how ten years would change her life.
6. This was a perfectly acceptable version of a soon to be famous website
7. In 2006, Paris Hilton coming to Dublin was a really big deal
8. And selfies worked like this
More of a technical challenge than now.
9. Pat Kenny still reigned supreme over the Late Late
Playing the new fangled Wii there.
10. Irish girl group Triniti held a photoshoot in an office with no shoes on
This was the 2006 way.
11. Ten years ago, Kodaline were not Kodaline. They were 21 Demands, and they were on You’re a Star on RTÉ
12. This is how TV channels were launched in 2006
Ah, Channel 6.
13. Back then, The Trinity Ball had a Winter Wonderland theme, despite being held in May
Party on, guys.
14. In 2006, George Hook was exactly the same
And it was perfectly acceptable.
15. Jordan coming to Dublin was a massive event
16. The Wind That Shakes the Barley was the s**t
2006 Cillian Murphy, you haven’t changed a bit.
17. This is how The Bagel Factory promoted their one euro discount off all smoothies
18. And finally… nearly everyone you knew was addicted to this
You gave luv, put people in your top 16 friends and changed your skin on the regular.
It was all so different then.
