  3. Named called out on the Den during the week. Bring me back.

  4. I vaguely remember most women had the same hairstyle in the 80’s

  5. I had to double check the faces in this. Could have sworn it was my family.

  6. Honestly did a double take thought i seen my nanny in that pic forgot everyone had the same haircut then 😂

  7. “Stop that carry on! Don’t eat too much or you’ll not be able to eat your dinner. Hurry up, sit down, be quiet, eat with your mouth closed; etc”

  8. The more things change,the more they stay the same! Looks like any one of my kiddo’s birthday parties, only the price on the Tayto packs are now three digits 😂

  9. Simpler and happier times before all the instagramable nonsense, perfection and validation seeking we see today.

  10. This is obviously fake, not one cigarette in anyone’s hand.

  11. these days all the women will have a glass of wine in their hands

  12. Bit of a posh gaff with proper coke and tayto… not a yellow pack item in sight…

  13. Absolutely bang on. I have sooooo many photos of me and my 2 siblings having the same party scene of this. 😂

  14. So we’re all just simultaneously experiencing Deja Vu?

  15. What a flashback. The hairdo, tablecloth, kids hats and the presses.

  16. Christ! That photo could honestly have been taken in my house when I was a kid.

  17. Mammy 1: Undressing me with her eyes.

    Mammy 2: Gazing at the baby. She wants another. John thought number 5 was the last one. John was wrong.

    Mammy 3: Cardi draped over the shoulders, arms folded. Classic look.

    Mammy 4: Poor thing is bate.

    Mammy 5: The Matriarch.

    Mammy 6: Only one thing on her mind, cake.

  18. I’ve been to so many of these and loved them. Ahhh the memories, thanks OP

  19. I would love a bit of that tart at the top right of the picture… the cake looks nice also

  20. I hope there’s an orange hedgehog with cheese and grapes somewhere
