It's hardly that big of an event that people would remember where they were.

Or are you trying to check if everyone has an alibi?

I was watching it on tv.... Oh wait that was the film!!!

Black Swan

B!ue pulls up her collar, slowly turns away, and shuffles off whistling an old Boogie tune.

orestes

I was in a public place far away from the scene with lots of witnesses

Jesus Wept

Anyone remember what they were doing on November 9th?

The_Minister

First thing I thought when I read the title: "I knew that already"

or 7/7? (no wait, ****...)

The Real B-man

Wondering why journalists go probing dangerous criminals and endup getting killed.

I was in school learning how to use grammar.

The OP has a condition

Dave!

probably reading a good newspaper

MrJoeSoap

I don't rememember, but I remember where I was when news broke that the general had been shot. I was in the car, on my way to Carlow. Its a harrowing event, any child would remember it. Carlow, that is.

Ironically enough, I was around the spot where Guerin was shot when I heard that Cahill had been shot.

LadyJ

I'm guessing I was in school. June 1996 wasn't it? Yeah, school. Unless it was a weekend in which case I was probably playing tennis.

Lux23

I was on a bus on my way to Carraroe to a very ****ty gaeltacht that was there and probably still is there.

FunkZ

I was probably running around muck hills or playing football, in fact I didn't find out she died till 2005.

Kinda, like she is just a character in a fictional film.

Movies are just so realistic these days, I don't know any more.

Bloody hell, you must have been fairly traumatised if it had such a lasting
and memorable impact on you as a three year old.

That "hit on the head" must have given him special powers.

humanji

He could be leading a Quantum Leap kind of life. Should we tell him that he never makes it home?

Peared

I had passed the spot about 10 minutes before it happened.

Am very very very glad about that 10 minutes, wouldnt like that kinda sh*t in my memory banks thank you very much.

The Hill Billy

Maybe the trauma of reading crime reports in the Sindo as a 3-year-old has led poor harryharry to the point where he is addicted to cigarettes after one smoke 12 years later.

kittensoft1984

how freaky is that

ive been reading a lot about her these days!!!

In fairness to the OP, in the film that was made in 2003, the narrator says at the end:
"Everyone in the Republic of Ireland remembers where they were when they heard that Veronica Guerin had been murdered on the Naas Road"

I don't and i was someone in ireland at the time. Should i sue the film company for misleading others? :cool:

You dropped out though,didnt you?You figured using the word "retarded" in every sentence would suffice.

Just think if you were 'servicing' harryharry's ma for the preceding 3 years
he could be the fruit of your loins. If ever their was a case for contraception...

kensutz

God no, if I had a child as stupid as him he'd be up for adoption straight away.

I don't remember either. I guess the movie makers were trying to make it grander than it is.

Same here, well I knew she was a journalist from the news, but paid no particular attention at the time.

Yes, I think in an attempt to make people in the US think she was famous, like some sort of crusader or something.
