Has he a famous song?

Perhaps you remember him from the old bebo flashbox days.

I probably shouldn't have told anyone but I still have a DJ Rankin CD at home that my cousin gave to me...

AFAIK, the only ticket events are ULFest and Bressie. (The stuff off campus I don't know about). Everything else is probably make a donation at the door like last year.

Protip: Always have a few coins in your pocket, they'll ask for a donation when you're going through barriers, and will make you feel like a dick if you don't. :pac:


I'm definitely going to ULFest, Storyfold . Plus will finally get to see Petri Chor and Sparkle Motion.
Probably gonna go to HG on the Tuesday as well.

Unfortunately I reckon that's about it for night time events. Lecturers being dicks so won't be able to go out as much as last year.


EDIT: The Farmer's Ball is also ticketed. And PleasureFest or whatever it's called.

They really have no hope of ever having an official rag week now.

Oh Christ.......

Chris Martin

I can't see the Supermac's picture/video,
Says I need to download Flashplayer to see it,
And I'm mashing down on the Download button in the library to no avail
Watch it when I get home...

Oh and Dancing in the Dark was the song as well! :P
Even in my youth, watched out for dance music :P

Still I'll be standing in the carpark with the Hurlers window open with my 6-pack :')

Partying on my lonesome, tapping my feel in sync with the bass...

I suppose it's pointless to hope that the college will go through this video and pick out all these fúckstains and toss them out of college?

Much more likely the guards will pursue it and go through the college to try and identify as many as they can and bring them to court for criminal proceedings.

What criminal activities are you seeing in that video?

Unless you want 40 odd people up in court for disturbing the peace.

Not saying it was right what went on but you can't start bringing dozens of people before the courts for minor public disorder offences or the legal system would grind to a halt. It's bad enough as it is.

In some of the videos they are ripping ceiling tiles from the roof in Supermac's.

For drunk and disorderly. Causing public unrest. Damage to property. Refusal to leave premises. Take your pick.

No wonder RAG weeks and Charity Weeks around the country are in danger of being cancelled. The shíte that went on in Galway and WIT gives students as a whole a bad name. It's fine to say "Ah but shur they were only having a laugh" or "Shur what were they doing only shouting a bit?", but it's these kinds of incidents which are what residents rightly complain about.

Just hope people in UL have a little more class, and make ours as good as last year. I mean seriously, get pissed drunk, get stoned, take E, do whatever the fúck you want, but don't be a dickhead to other people. It's fairly simple.

Lets hope nothing like this happen during next week people might just be a little upset with college student for upsetting the locals 3 weeks in a row

Video from last night.

Garda delighted with herself

Junco Partner

as angry as we all should be with the nuig students for the reputation they'll have given us all for rag week. "Whose the sexy garda?" is hands down the funniest drunken chant i've heard in a while

achmairt

now we know where the grant money is going...
This won't do their high court case any good when they're appealing about the grant cuts. Idiots:
