Junior Cert Discos

Quite frankly, there are times when generalising is forgivable. "You kids" is how most people who are past their Junior Certificate view JC students, at least when they are seen to 'celebrate' moderately-important exam results by bingeing. Life's unfair, and so are people, so accept it, and grow a thick skin.

You "adults" so full of bull**** Wednesday nite was such a trouble free nite I saw absolutely no trouble at all, just everyone having a good nite with or without drink.Guards got no trouble I saw

Plunky · 19-09-2004 8:51am

Maybe you were just in the so-called "right" places Liam... And us adults aren't full of shìt, we've just been around the block and seen it all, so we know what to expect from you young'uns

LiamD · 19-09-2004 11:44am

Well maybe ur generation of "yung 'uns" was just too irresponsible coz I heard of no trouble either off all me mates and the whole school.Any1 I hav talked to sed there was no trouble and whoever sed the guards were called to Ruby's loads of times that is **** coz I was there from start to finish and not one garda entered the place.No1 thrown out by the bouncers either.

Plunky · 19-09-2004 12:28pm

No one YOU saw... And just cuz you didn't hear of any trouble FROM all your "mates" doesn't mean it didn't happen. Believe me, we were the young 'uns who didn't need alcohol to have a good time, so no I don't think we were the irresponsible ones. And did you stand by the doors all night watching to see if anyone was thrown out? Does anyone else see the flaws in Liam's comment?

I spotted it, but I find his method of digging himself deeper and deeper into his hole to be amusing, so I didn't say anything

Plunky · 19-09-2004 3:08pm

Fair enough! ;-)

You maybe, but ya cant say that about ur whole generation. Jus like our generation isnt black and white either, neither was yours. And i dont think being 2/3 years older means you have sufficient experience to give out ''young'uns', i mean ur not even in your twenties :rolleyes:

Aoibheann · 19-09-2004 4:20pm

I'm sure that similar things happened both JC nights.
but does it really matter now? its over, until next year anyway, just drag the topic back up then or something...;)

Jaysus man! were you at home or something? The ambulance was called twice to the disco I was at and loads of people were arrested... And I live in Dungarvan, hardly what you'd describe as a crime haven....

LiamD · 19-09-2004 8:45pm

No I wasnt at home and no I didn't stand by the door I just thought it wud be the type of thing I'd notice ya kno, if the Gards came in.I spent most of my time in the beer garden.I have heard of nothing serious on that night.One of me mates got loafed and that was it.Nothing serious and certainly not like ppl make Junior nite out to be like.Fair enuff that fella's disco was bad but from what I've herd the 3 big ones (Wez, Rubys, Partyhouse) there was no serious trouble.And who cares bout the alcohol anyway?We can still have a drink and not cause trouble.A few might but not all.

It wasn't me! · 19-09-2004 9:02pm

Exactly. I walked past Ruby's at about ten and I can honestly say that's the most orderly group of drunken skangers I've ever seen. The cops didn't know what was going on. They were more bewildered by the three obviously locked nine-year-old girls trying to chat them up. Methinks they were trying to figure out how to arrest them without being labelled as child abusers. Quite funny actually.

Matthewthebig · 19-09-2004 10:28pm

you're going on bout it being a calm night does no one remember that a girl was stabbed by scumbags for her ticket to some place in Dun Laoighre

Caoimhe · 19-09-2004 10:49pm

I know I said it already but there were 3 people stabbed in Cork too.

Crash · 19-09-2004 11:14pm

its always worse on leaving cert night though. friend of mine got the living crap kicked out of him, had his jaw wired shut broken and 3 teeth knocked out.

Crash · 19-09-2004 11:19pm

And in fairness re: the kids comment, i'd consider most of you kids as by this stage i have a completely different mindset to all of you. but then again i've had to see and experience things that hopefully a lot of people never will so meh

Ignore the "kids" comments, you'll be a kid generally until age 19 or so or until something absolutely soul destroying happens.

Caoimhe · 19-09-2004 11:21pm

Ah such joys to look forward to.

Crash · 19-09-2004 11:26pm

Yeah life is fun

oh and i probably shoulda said "at least 19" in that last post.

Um, what age are you, Liam? What age are most JC results recipients? Under 18, I presume. That's why people care about the alcohol. It is, as we say in our more adult parlance, "illegal", and the law is still a thing many people respect, even in the age of music downloads and underage bingeing.

LiamD · 20-09-2004 7:30pm

Who sed entin bout bingeing I certainly didn't binge that night and even for the people that did that night they caused no trouble.They handled themselves quite well (bar a few which we're haring of), but on the whole it was very orderly, very little trouble and very law abiding bar the drinking.

Matthewthebig · 20-09-2004 8:01pm

the whole point is why the drink? i dont drink personally an if i go out i still enjoy it. we're known as a nation of drunkards for bob's sake. and you are the next generation to carry it on!

do'nt drink and drive, smoke and fly.

Matthewthebig · 20-09-2004 8:28pm

Witty! why do you need anything though. hash can **** you up a certain dealer soaks it in "gear" as the cool kids say

It wasn't me! · 20-09-2004 8:55pm

None of us need anything. It's just that certain things, in appropriate amounts, can enrich a good thing.

Matthewthebig · 20-09-2004 9:47pm

but why though? you see people going to concerts absolutely and utterly twisted i doubt they remember most of what happened

Caoimhe · 20-09-2004 9:53pm

I'm inclined to agree with those who don't drink. I tried it just the once and I completely forgot to think before I said anything, causing me to repeat myself which actually annoyed me more than anyone. Not a fan of the loss of control of my brain...

Matthewthebig · 20-09-2004 9:56pm

whats worse than binge drinking is people whose weekends are based around it basically being off there face for two days straight

Caoimhe · 20-09-2004 9:59pm

I think a lot of people start to grow out of that as they get older, then go to college and revert back...

Matthewthebig · 20-09-2004 10:02pm

and we wonder why we're looked down on as a nation drink-wise.

jono087 · 20-09-2004 10:03pm

Everyone stop debating about drink and just get in the horrors!!!
