Irish Sraith Pictiúrí : How did YOU destroy yours?

IndigoWings

So me and a few friends have decided that it should be a sort of a tradition for LC students to destroy sraith pictiúri and associated notes in creative ways after the oral exam, because they're actually of no use whatsoever afterwards (unlike French oral notes, damn you French!).

I'm pretty sure we're not the only ones who thought of this, so, show yourselves, destroyers of the pictiúrí! Share pictures, videos, or just tell us about how you did away with them. Drag out the kitchen knives, firelighters, ninja paper-chopping skills, or give them to your bored dog (or line the bird cage with them).

I wasn't particularly creative myself, but here's what I did :pac:

(If you're unsure about destroying them, I can assure it's the most relaxing thing I have ever done after an exam. :cool: )

I'd love to burn them but knowing me I'll probably just recycle them. :rolleyes: Not quite the same really, but it'll make for one hell of a five second video. :pac:

I literally took a blowtorch to mine.

As a teacher and examiner...I'm sick of them too, have them spinning around in my head. Stayed at work til 8pm doing them with my class, it'll all be over soon!

The High Crusade

I kinda want to nail mine to a plank of wood then cut it up in the woodwork room..

Man I wish I had a dartboard now... Or twenty.

Haha! That'd be great fun... if I was doing that I'd pin up the Déagóirí Cróga one with sean-Phádraig. I got that one for all three mock orals I had... :mad:

Really?? That's horrible! :eek:
I had one in Irish college last summer, one for the mocks and one over Easter break...
I hope you do well anyway!

I know! I'm repeating though so at least I had one last year, plus the actual Leaving Cert, but still, that was over a year ago. And I need to practise my sraiths. :eek:

I'm going to need to think of something creative to do with mine. Maybe draw inappropriate things all over them...make them a bit more...eh, relevant.

That's nice.

Tried to set fire to Tuarimi Eagsula faoi Deagoiri last night (cos I never liked that one). But I was outside and it was raining so it just got a bit wet...

My dartboard is coming out of retirement next Wednesday when I finish my oral. The thing hangs on my wall unused, without purpose these days. Oh I'll give it a purpose.

Monday night when I am finished with them, I am going to burn them and exorcise the demons that the pictures contain.

Your post jogged my memory back to this, thank you.

frulewis

burned them and all the bad memories that went with them

Luno

Watched my dog shred them to pieces...

Burned them on Tuesday, was very satisfying!!!

Edit: really should have resized them :P

Togepi

I can burn them now!!

I'll probably just blow them up with my mind though, Sheldon-style.

Zhavey

There is no way to properly describe the satisfaction gained from burning them...

My Irish teacher said that the Sraith Pictiurs will be on the LC for the current 2nd years (3rd years if doing TY) because they will be swapped around every few years, so I kindly donated my pictures and notes to her

A few of my friends have had some very creative solutions to their Sraith Pictiúr problems:
