    I couldnt believe that they gave me a bus on my own.

    north or south side?

    yeh, that was odd, we only had one marshal on our bus too, whereas with the F-RAG trip there was three to a bus.

    just as well. were you at that meeting the night before?

    the frag trip had more stewards cause it was only a small trip and freshers got involved. (mainly due to lack of tickets).

    while tickets for this trip sold out, people generally didnt seem that bothered that they werent going

    sorry, i just try to place faces when i can.

    nvm, lets continue the rant.

    did you feel it was shaping up to be a bit dodge at that meeting?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,390 ✭✭✭Stench Blossoms


    yes yes i did!

    And they way they went on about the security team, i expected to see about 10 + security people there not bloody 2!

    On the day i had pink hair anyway, most people remember me because of that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    hmmm, cant place it. :p ah well.

    i didnt make it on the day as it happened, which is why im commenting on the aftermath i saw, and eye witness reports from all my ditsu buddies, as well as last years.

    2 guards!!! ffs. ive been to charity shops with better security than that.....

    .....that was one tough charity shop

    You'd need a circular saw to peirce the rubber of a bus tyre and at that, you'd want to stand well back. The amount of pressure in a bus tyre could probably do you a good bit of damage.

    I did work experience in the Air Corps in transition year and there was a huge fire engine out at casement that they were giving us a demonstration on. They claimed that if you were within 10 meters of the tyre when it poped they gauranteed you that you wouldn't be able to have an open casket at your funeral. Those tyres had about twice the amount of pressure in them as a coach would, so even if you dive like TJ hooker when they pop, the out come will most likely not be pretty. :v:

    This email was sent from DITSU on friday.

    "Dear Staff and Students of DIT,

    DIT Students Union wishes to apologise unreservedly for the unacceptable
    behaviour witnessed in Aungier Street, Bolton Street and Mountjoy Square on
    Thursday 16th February.

    We wish to apologise to DIT Staff, Students and anyone who was affected by
    the events leading up to The Mystery Rag Trip.

    We are extremely disappointed that this event, out of an otherwise
    successful Rag Week, was marred by such disappointing scenes yesterday.

    Whilst every measure was put in place to organise a safe trip, including the
    elimination of alcohol on the buses, we were unprepared for the actions of
    some of our membership prior to departure.

    Whilst DITSU will do everything possible to help students deal with problems
    around alcohol, we will show no tolerance for those who having abused
    alcohol then proceed to abuse the rights of others.

    DITSU would like to acknowledge and thank all staff that assisted us during
    the event."


    What happened? :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,390 ✭✭✭Stench Blossoms


    People just left the place in a state. They were handed out black bags and asked to put the cans etc in them but most of them didn't bother.

    Oh wow. Why are you posting in this thread anyway? You didn't go on rag trip so why would you have an opinion about it?

    here's what i said:
    ah sure just blame the FAS guys and don't invite them back, if it ever happens again

    wasn't commenting on the rag trip itself. only made a snide remark about FAS people with regard to the ruccus that was caused
