Hey, I just ordered my gf the book online... is the new one the bridesmaide one? That's the one I ordered, it said it wasn't out till 2005 on amazon.co.uk and that the one with the rugby player on the front is out in november, so I thought that was the newest, but then i went to the o'briens site and was able to order the bridesmaide.

thanks.

"...Bridesmaids" is the new one. the one with the rugby player on the front (as in wearing the Leinster jersey) is the second book, rereleased with new material.

Damnit I really wanna read the first and last ones, being in Muckross and all. My friend from Laois was staying with me and wanted to see Muckross and Gonzaga cos she heard so much about them from the books.

No, the one with the guy wearing the leinster jersey on the front, i.e. "The teenage dirt-bag years",was first released as" Roysh Here, Roysh Now", is the first one. "The Orange Mocha-Chip Frappuccino Years" is the second book. now theres "PS, I scored the bridesmaids". Theres a new one coming out, i think, called "The Miseducation Years", http://www.obrien.ie/book527.cfm for more. The back page of the sunday tribune news section every week on till then. Paul Howard is a god.

No the Miseducation years is the first one, it is when Ross is still in school.

It's CTYI related cuz CTYI people enjoy the books!..
Miseducation may have new material but chronologically is definitely the first one. I recently got the mother of all insults - "You're the one person i know who can read RO'C-K the way it's meant to be read without putting on an accent". Anyone who knows me knows that's not true..
and raph, in fairness, it's FAR from literature!

So I got the right one then? The newest is definitely ...Brides????

I haven't got a clue about them but my gf thinks they are great. She loves slagging the d4 "tossers".

No, I reckon ROCK wouldn't really make for a good movie or TV show. It's the kind of humour that doesn't translate that well. Plus, I doubt its going to happen, seeing as the target audience is the North side of Dublin, it wouldn't be too cost-effective. I doubt anyone would waste that much money on it... Still, you could get on to the makers of Waterworld...

They'd probably construct a floating replica of the Northside, and move all the inhabitants from the real Northside onto it

Then we could ignite/sink the whole thing! (Yes I am aware that both Aldwell and Zounds are Northsiders)

Yes, because we'd all LOVE to sink DCU to the bottom of the ocean.

It would be a replica DCU. The real one would be intact and northsider free!

Even though I do live on the Northside, I'd still have to say it's a great idea.

How about the CTYIers get to pick who goes on the replica Northside so we can save the people who don't deserve to be blown up. I.E. me...

I spend around 40% of my time on the Southside, can I claim dual citizenship, and thus escape the explosion?

Sounds good to me. Or we could build a big shopping centre, that sold Nike, John Player and Dutch gold and all the 'undesirables' would flock there.............................oh wait they did, it's called the square Tallaght
