Dunno about Kerri Ann, but Theresa Lowe is a barrister now. You'd see her on the news now and again.

For proper nostalgia check Pat and Ann.

That holiday in Wexford better have happened the same week as Hurricane Charlie too.

+1 for the killing tiny little red spiders - we used call them bloodsuckers. There used be competitions to see who could squish the most before the end of lunchtime.
+1 for the white dog poo too - my sister thought it came from white dogs when she was really small!
