christy Moore would be a good gig.
Also I think there should be music played during the day in the pitch(even if it was just through speakers), just so everyone could meet early in one place to start the partaay!

I wouldn't agree with you here. Having people out on the pitches all day drinking and messing around is a recipe for disaster. You're just gonna end up damaging the pitch so that it'll cost loads to re-sod, or else have to splash on to protect it.
Fair enough if there's actually an event (match, puc Fada, Foxy Boxing, etc) going on there, but for all other cases the SU courtyard serves it's purpose fairly well.

Great idea! FYP will mean I can only if at all drink 1 day out of the week. No matter how much I prepare in advance I'll still have loads to do!!

Hi Nolimits12 and eldwaro,

Just to let you know, if either of you need someone to look over any aspect of your FYP, the UL Writing Centre has finalised its tutoring schedule for the coming semester at www.ul.ie/rwc.

We have a number of trained tutors (most, if not all, of them postgrads) who offer one-to-one tuition every week in C1-065. We're currently recruiting a history tutor, who should be here within the next week or two.

The service is free, and you can see when discipline specific tutors' appointments are by registering at the above address and viewing the schedule. We just ask that you don't book more than one hour per week.

Best of luck with the coming semester!

A local Limerick band for consideration. Might be seeing them in Dolan's next month if I get the chance, so if I do I'll report back on how they are live.

Can I just do four pints each of the drinkable ones and then two or three pints of what is deemed by the crowd to be the worst of the lot to make up for it? :pac:

Aw!

Damn my palette for not allowing me to drink more than two sips of any lager before quitting.

Oh well, I guess I'll just find a quiet table and watch ye all partake in this lunacy and laugh when the vomiting begins.

Would need to have a mighty bucket handy,
Mixing cider and lager is one thing...
Mixing cider and lager and bitter and ale etc is another!
On top of that...
It's another thing to be able to stomach 13 pints!
A challenge indeed... :cool:

freyners

ive been meaning to do it for a while, its not the 13 pints im woried about

its the smithwicks tap:eek:

Delta Kilo

Someone might want to make sure there still are 13 pints!

I know Budweiser was taken out, not sure if anything has replaced it!

Last year it was released around the end of Week 4 - middle week 5 IIRC.

DJ Rankin confirmed for the hurlers

Anyone who has ideas give Keith a shout (events.su@ul.ie)

I'd love to do the Great Race, but I'll be conserving my energy for the abuse from residents! (which has already begun in anticipation. They're building a "cancel RAG week" campaign)

Here's hoping that doesn't gain any traction.

I think its a good idea,it won't cost too much and its just going to be a pisstake.It will bring us all back to the days of having a sneaky naggin down the tracks before,grinding some young one up against the corner before having water thrown on you by bouncers while hearing "Dj Rankin in the mix mother****er"

If anything it will be nostalgic i'm up for it

CiaranMT

To each their own.

Big +1 on this. Galway have already lost their RAG week, why should we lose ours?

Common sense goes a long way, people!

Will someone put up a list of activities and events for rag week when it becomes public? Just for those of us on co-op etc.

Firstly, 'Undercover Creeps' last year were amazing. Poor crowd, but a great set and everyone there (planned or not) seemed to enjoy the gig

Bit of a kill-joy I guess, but ...

I imagine using the pitches will cause issues due to the C&S issues with pitches at the moment, especially considering it is coming into peak season for their use.

I heard from a mate a couple of years ago (open to correction, sans Oxegen) that Christy Moore's gigs are now "alcohol free" <- a direct quote from my mate at the time ... not entirely sure how true it is or not though.

Best of luck with the week Paddy!

I'm sure everyone will enjoy it

Non-starter. The pitches are in terrible condition in any case.
