I managed to get my results and not drink myself into an embarrassing state while still having a blast.

I was on Holidays in Spain when I got mine over the phone from the neighbour, had one or two sneaky vodkas and a day of regret afterwards, good times. :pac:

haha man I would've messed with your head if I was asked to do that :pac:

Keep saying F til the parents bate ya

Our Debs was a mix, the teachers made the mistake of letting some of the students organise it.....the bad crowd got the job, think they rented some place in Carlow, no-one was sure what was going on. Ended up going to a chinese restaurant on the night with a few lads a few teachers joined us (no giggling)

Congrats Copper btw

I was a lot more drunk last night than I was when I got my results last year. Absolutely dying.

I'm not what you'd call a big user of twitter - but had a nice little exchange with Sonia O Sullivan (yeah, her!!!) this morning.

Said earlier in this thread that I consider her a hero of mine, and it may be trivial to some, but i'm chuffed with it!!

Was it North Korea in 2010?

Exactly this lads - maybe too much emphasis put on LC..

The most successful person I went to school with got a stinker of a leaving cert, remember him being devestated the day of the results.

Think he has about 50-odd people working for him now....

Actually I've a similar story.

Went to school with a girl, nice girl, very friendly, always pleased to see you but a bit mad, didn't even do her leaving cert, dropped out of school after 3rd year, though it was boom time so there were a lot of opportunities then.

Well to cut a long story short, a good few years back I saw her on the bus, she was smartly dressed, got talking to her and found out she had a kid and was on her way to the four courts, she got 3 years for setting some girls hair on fire.

Moral of the story, don't under estimate the leaving, you fail that, you fail life!

Cool!

My claim to fame is that former WWE wrestler D'Lo Brown once favourited one of my tweets.

miralize

Ray Foley said **** you to me once, way way back in 09 or something. I probably deserved it.

P Diddy retweeted me once when he was asking people to send him pictures of them holding a Ciroc bottle (his vodka). I went to google and looked for an amateur looking photo of someone holding a bottle. Diddy got played.

Dara O'Briain retweeted me once when he asked how he looked in a photo and I just said "Gay.....as usual" and then once told me go fuck myself when I made some joke about him and England.

We have a complicated relationship.

I used to play in a band back in the 80s. We were playing in some pub out in Dalkey one night and I noticed a tall dark figure at the back of the crowd who looked familiar, but couldn't quite make him out in the low light.

Anyway it turned out it was Phil Lynott! Met him after the gig and had a few drinks and a chat with him. He was a bit of a hero of mine at the time so I couldn't believe my luck.

Ha ha. I seen that tweet. Was only a couple of weeks ago

edit - On twitter. Michael Kenneth Williams (Omar from the Wire) followed me for a while. Don't think he was a United fan though. Didn't stick around too long. :pac:

Also had a few tweets off of Robert Patrick of T1000 fame. Nice lad.

Rayne Wooney

Just finished season 4 of breaking bad, brilliant!

That could have been the last episode really, they don't end it with a cliff hanger to make people watch season 5.

Yeah just a few weeks ago. I was being a bit of a smart-arse so I probably deserved it

A friend met Stateside in a steam room at a gym a year ago. He walked up to him bollock naked with his hand out and said "you probably know me from the telly". It freaked me mate out a bit. Said he was very odd.

Isn't it savage? You have only ten episodes left to catch up and then it's the torture of waiting a week for an episode.

I was gonna try to save up the last eight episodes and watch them all together but it would be impossible to avoid spoilers I think.

Brilliant programme. Enjoy the rest of it.

It really is!

It could have ended there with

Gus and most of his guys out of the picture, not to mention the Cartell all dead

, I really don't see how season 5 can go on unless

Mike comes back and tries to kill Walt and Jesse, or Jesse finds out that Walt manipulated him and things kick off there

.

I'll probably wait a while before starting season 5, waiting a week to find out what happens would kill me after watching 4 seasons in the space of 3 or 4 weeks.

Might start The Wire sometime this week, all I hear is good things about it.

I won't say anything about what you've spoilered there but I will say you won't be disappointed

You haven't seen The Wire yet either? Now you're just making me jealous. Another unreal show.

I started watching Justified lately. Well worth a watch as well. Nearly gave up after the first couple of episodes cos I didn't like it much but it's well worth sticking with.

IvySlayer

I've never watched an episode of The Wire or Breaking Bad or Sopranos :P

Which one would be better to start with?

There is no wrong pick, 3 of the best TV series' of all time.


Anyone else watch the American House of Cards? Watched it myself at the start of summer, was brilliant I thought, Spacey excellent as usual.
