I remember one morning, after coming out of the shower, my RA knocked on the door (for the wakage up and all), and I answered, wearing only a towel. Since my RA was Paul, who was quite a stoner and tended to speak slowly, I interrupted him just as he started speaking and said, in quite a serious voice "You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel." Laughing ensued.

That is all.

TOAST PARTIES, the uber girl, me in discussion, hmmm, this gets hard after like four seconds, ooh, dublin 4 accents, the one the only nina hynes, stealing sparky's discman, singing irish college songs, teaching the americans irish,
actually, most of these things will only be recognised by kate. and maybe elaine, in the case of the ubergirl.

PIMP THE MONKEY! That monkey loved getting his ass spanked, but Richard wouldn't let me. Then Pimp got stuck between a window and a wall in Res and someone picked me up to get him down. So, Richard, how's Pimp? Does he miss his ass-smackings from me? Have you gotten him his mini-pimp-gear yet?

I remember: being shouted at every time i suggested the perfectly reasonable business venture of making coin-operated lamposts,

I also remember having to write everything down *shudder*

The last two discos kicked indiscriminate amounts of rectum.. The whole "Oldie whinge" thing was fun.. The frolicking under Liz's window to the flute music was fun...

Aonghus as a bunny
Being asked for my bra size

Predictable conversations
Nose beeping
Nose beeping with Saoirse

The frolicking under Liz's window to the flute music was fun...

i think watching you and richard start the trend was more fun- especially when everyone started joining in and you became a mass of frolicking people under my window.

Demonstrating how to perform "The Flying Camel"

and watching people's tormented expressions as they wondered what the hell you were doing to hugh and why you were making that hideous noise.

nose beeping was fun..but after the first day it got reeally irritating.

watching the magical tower of cereal in my room never fall over.

getting to ctyi at six in the morning on the first day and wandering around all the corridors seeing whose names i remembered from last session and where they were and who they were rooming with.

and other assorted ctyi flavors.

Lots and lots of stuff which I couldn't be arsed posting up.

One thing that I have to say though is that if Aonghus hadn't brought his bongos then CTYI this year would have been a lot different.

Myself and poncho alex did the same thing with IRC. Except there were others in the channel. They seemed to know him. It was worrying. (Anyone who has seen the tub boy picture, that's what they were up to)

mags:

Going back to my room one night to find muireann and jane running up and down the hall in turn wearing a poncho.

thanks for mentioning that I WAS THERE TOO. screaming. cos alex lent ME the poncho for two days, ohhh...yes. (more memories:) and jane slept in it, and then i wore it on out fieldtrip with handlebars, then we used it as a picnic rug, then we got it covered in cheese and jane had it covered in make-up, then we tried to clean it, then alex didn't notice, and it's all okay now. i also felt guilty for not buying buttons buttons.

incredula pert

ah mags, i forgot that corridor thingy with me and jane, we were trying to fly with aid of the poncho!
i also remember THR FIRE DRILL! all the girls skantily clad!and the boys drooling:P

For a week after that I thought that it was my fault, as I had turned on the bathroom water heater in my room at the exact moment that the fire alarm went off. it wasn't though. It was someone who left their cooker on. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

/me hides matches, petrol, fertilizer and diesel

Mystic Fibrosis

It was funny, all these people in nightwear and Richard, Steven, Hugh, Macdara & I all complelety clothed just walked out of the quad.....

Barry Aldwell

I too was completely clothed. Except for my socks. I had my boots on, but not my socks, which I was carrying.

And that ****ING TWAT who brought his ****ing GUITAR. Whoever he is I hope he gets a toe inflammation

It wasn't me!

And after all. It was never going to be a real fire! They disconnected the cookers. And I have the oddest doubts about anyone poking a fork in their toaster at 12.30 or whatever time it was. I was also fully clothed but had no shoes. And was waslking around mumbling, "Please don't let there be any glass. Please don't let there be any glass. Please..." and so on. Why didn't I have shoes on? Oh and for ****s sake! Anyone in our RA group who wasn't dressed is a twat! Rory told us about the drill for christ's sake!

Liquorice

While you were all outside in the middle of the night, shivering in the freezing cold, dragged out of much-needed sleep, I was most likely comfortable, at home, eating REAL food or sleeping in a COMFORTABLE bed. Ah, the joys of commuter-ness.

:D mags :D

Yeah but it was a laugh and one of a multitude of good memories of the three weeks

Raphael

i only just noticed this thread, and i was posted about twice. YAY!

Anyway, back on topic i'd say that the best moments were sitting around playing magic in odd places, and going utterly insane at the 1st disco and scaring noobs. That and the random hugging.
Oh and of coursetalking to my roommate till 2, then falling asleep in the movie in russian. Ah memories

purplepolkadot

eh, was the fire drill not at like twenty past eleven or something early like that. i know I was fully clothed.

It wasn't me!

That just makes it stranger that people were ready for bed! I tend to lose track of time sometimes. There were a few "Talented Youths" there this year who I could actually see putting a fork in their toaster, so on reminiscing, it doesn't seem that unlikely.
