**Timbuk2**

Meh - the Leaving Cert is pretty stressful. We all have to blow off steam some way :P

The press over exaggerates the articles relating to the sixth year holiday every year.

zoom!

Isn't that the point of a leaving cert holiday ??

Same thing every year.......Same "PRIVILEGED 6th year students HAVING SEX/DRINKING" rabble rabble rabble.........

Nothing new, report was worse last year though (Recognised too many faces last year! >_<)

I will say however: THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR BUYING THE MAIL. It is a fúcking rag.

Almost the exact same article. Someones plagiarizing I think. Entire paragraphs are almost word for word.

It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't spoilt D4heads. Comments like this piss lots of people off:

A Blackrock College student said: ‘Most of us have wealthy parents and we aren’t ashamed of that. It’s the poor people who are the begrudgers.

Lads that's mortifying. For all of those LC students out there, who don't have this wonderful sense of entitlement that the parents of southside private school kids seem to breed into them, that is a massive embarassment, and reflects badly on all of ye.

Have fun, get drunk, fine. But don't be so incredibly stupid as to go around making statements like "I'm rich, I can do what I like". These guys are great assets to humanity.:rolleyes:

They're probably too stupid to realise that most of their parents are living off credit cards and struggling to keep them in those schools since the recession hit anyway.....

Does anyone realise that there is a hell of a lot more schools over there than southside private schools. There is a load of public schools over there aswell. The southside private schools make the article more appealing.

These writers have obv. never been to a local club anywhere in Ireland... Its pretty much exactly the same, except its much colder at night here -.-
Wish I was going on holidays now

That article does have less of a focus on the whole D4 thing, which I suppose is good.

I genuinely doubt that that quote is in any context whatsoever, I'd be willing to bet that he was asked something very direct by the journalist.......

You might find it ridiculous, but students are warned about journalists when they get to a drinking age.......

Wouldn't wipe my arse with the Daily Mail personally.

Sounds like some fekcin party.

what a retard!

What a joke of an article, who gives a shit? LC students, as Fad said, do this sort of thing every year. It's their own business. Sounds like the usual crap you hear on the radio- "It's a disgrace, Joe!"

Denerick

I for one, don't care. But who can avoid a 'bash the D4 student' thread?

Mental_Legend

LOL. Did anyone else picture the writer of the caption of the second picture as a posh Brit wearing a top hat and a monocle?

salthillman

plenty of people go that aren't even from dublin... ****ty newspapers doing anything to fill column inches if yeh ask me..

Might catch something tbh.

I couldn't be bothered to read the whole article but seriously does the author lock himself into his house at night on weekends? That's pretty much the exact same thing that happens every saturday night over here! I'm willing to bet the locals don't complain nearly as much with all the money they make from the students either.
I get the feeling this is just some author who made the mistake of going for a holiday to the location right after the leaving cert and got a little bit irritated from the students.

I thought it was unfair that all the D4's got the stick for all this but what eejit honestly says "Most of us have wealthy parents and we aren’t ashamed of that. It’s the poor people who are the begrudgers". He's bringing it himself though tbf I got stuck next to a load of people just like that at oxegen last year - from blackrock too actually, wonder if it was the same people? - and they were horrible, completely atoning to the stereotype but not everyone's like that! If they want to see less of that abroad, they might as well start on that at home first.

'Most of us have wealthy parents and we aren’t ashamed of that. They work hard to give us money so we can go on holidays. It’s the poor who are the begrudgers – they hate the rich.’

Well atleast us poor begrudgers aren't making a show of bits on a national newspaper..but im sure daddy will pay for the STI clinic!:pac:

the Irish girls in Puerto Banus are clad in identikit party wear – skin-tight Lycra skirts that barely stretch over the bum-cheeks and sky-high heels. Leg, leg and more leg is the order of the day.

I'm just back from Salou and I saw nothing like that even though I was out every night so I think they're going a bit over the top!

Woah, that was unbelievably sensationalist. :-/

Why don't they just interview the parents who fund this?

Assuming anyone actually said that.

It's incredible easy for a lazy journo to write 'A XXX College student said: <insert generic irritating comment here>' ... and who on earth can prove whether they're spoofing it or not?

GAAAAHHH, EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. This annoys me so much "blah blah blah privileged..." Rockford Manor is there...ROCKFORD ffs, that's about as public as public schools get. It's a good school by all accounts, a former mod of this forum went there and got 600 points, but it's not fee paying at all. Clearly just because it's in Blackrock it's somehow "privileged"

This stuff goes on every weekend. People from "D4 schools" like to go out, we drink, we have fun and it's none of the Daily Mail's business.

I can't believe that rag actually sent a reporter over there to creep on a bunch of LC students. It's a worse reflection of the tabloid than it is on the people in it tbh.

"There are different rules out here anyway. We wouldn’t do it at home.’"- that's it TBH. They're just having fun, let them at it.

Yeah, the whole article comes off exggerated. Especially the quotes which sound completely fabricated. They conincidently seem to fit in perfectly with the article

The difference isn't THAT huge, your average Dublin street is such a mess come 2.30, there are always people KO'd on the side of the road or throwing up.
