I am debate!

HeyYou · 18-01-2005 6:52pm #1

Hey all,

Remember hearing from a few of the '04 people that they were planning to do the Leinster Denny Schools debating thingy (formerly ESBs). Did anyone go through with it? Just ask cos I'm an adjudicator for it, want to know who to look out for. Best of luck to you all.

J Campion · 18-01-2005 7:14pm

Yep, me. We won the first round, but that said, we probably won't get far because
a) we're crap,
b) the teacher helping us won't let me out coz I'm in third year Oh and
c) we're fairly crap.

When's the next round anyway? Is it in U or T (CD)

Jim_Are_Great · 18-01-2005 10:05pm

Heh, heh... Irwin!

Never has debate been so tall.

Not sweet at all - SO hard to get to class on time when ppl are milling around, slightly confused. It was even worse cuz there were still a good few tourists on campus!

HeyYou · 22-01-2005 4:02pm

I'd say those kids were either doing schools rounds, or this newfangled Schools Mace Competition they created to rival the UCD Schools Mace and give kids more experience. We have those mass convergences in UCD too, they always look so lost...

The rounds are starting this week, two days in UCD, one day in Trinity. Best of luck.

jono087 · 22-01-2005 7:38pm

maybe they're all just dossing? We all do it once in a while...... don't we?

Liquorice · 23-01-2005 10:34pm

I did it with another girl in my year. The teachers didn't give us any help and we'd never seen or participated in a debate in this format previously(our school only teaches us the Gael Linn structure)but we said we'd give it a shot. Didn't get through, but we had fun and will give it a shot next year.

I think Janet's doing that (safe assumption in any case, crazy debate girl that she is) so keep an eye out for her

Hello!
I am doing it, and me and my partner have gotten through the first two rounds! so yay..although we're never given any help from the teachers...*grumble grumble*

Yep, I'm also through to the next round, which I think is is the quarter final?
Our second round was in a room about 7 flights of stairs up in Trinity last Monday. We got through and I think there were 2 other ctyiers there.

HeyYou · 03-02-2005 6:18pm

Next round is indeed the quarter final, no mean achievement to make it that far. Muireann is in it too, and in the quarter finals safely. Hope to see some of you there.

Proof that any phrase, no matter how innccent can be warped horribly by Jack, the Latex avenger!

Crash · 09-02-2005 2:45pm

Raphael · 09-02-2005 3:09pm

I assume that was a self anointed title?.. And did i see you walking past the savoy on Monday evening around 5/6?..

Bazookatone · 10-02-2005 4:00pm

Yes, I was outside the Savoy on Monday evening, waiting to catch a bus, I wasn't wearing Latex though. Who exactly is this?

Plunky · 10-02-2005 8:17pm

eoin. the guy whose arse you broke on his own kitchen floor!
i never said u were wearing latex, that was unattached! different issue...

J Campion · 16-02-2005 9:30pm

So, is anyone in a debate on Monday night in the GMB?

HeyYou · 26-02-2005 1:43pm

So!

Quarter Finals are done, anyone still in the running?

pinkpimp · 26-02-2005 8:22pm

My mate is in the final of the Aoife Begley's in Maynooth, if thats worth anything to you...

HeyYou · 27-02-2005 1:25pm

What's the Aoife Begley's? Never heard of it. Anyhoo, the finals of the Leinsters are in a few weeks, you should come along.

pinkpimp · 01-03-2005 7:19pm

Might go with Mark... (but with an alterior motive of the possibility of Irwinness...)

HeyYou · 01-03-2005 8:56pm

Glad to hear Irwination would be a motive! I'll let you know when it's on. By the way, anyone who's interested in competitive debating should go to it; but more importantly, they should come to the Irish Times Final. The Irish Times Competition is like the Leinster School's but, for all the colleges in Ireland. So the final, which is on at 7.00 in O'Reilly Hall in UCD, this Wednesday March 2nd, has the best debaters in the country in it. As a handy bonus, I'll be there helping out! Let me know if you're coming, you're all more than welcome.

StupidLikeAFox · 01-03-2005 11:25pm

Ah irwin, sure if he was any longer he'd be late...

jono087 · 01-03-2005 11:31pm

ya... Irwin's a big tall man

HeyYou · 14-03-2005 9:27pm

Hey all. Final of the Leinster Schools Competition in on Wednesday at 7.00 in the Ed Burke Theatre in Trinity. Lineup includes a team from Castleknock, a team from Gonzaga (huzzah!), and two teams from Belvedere ,with four other individuals too. It'd be good to see you there, if you have any interest in debating (or are coming to UCD/ Trinity next year) it'll be a great evening.

Peterfing · 14-03-2005 10:23pm

On a different note... Is anyone else partaking in the Forum on Europe Public Speaking thing? The final is in Dublin Castle in April.. is anyone from St. Mary's team a ctyi person? Or the other teams..?

It wasn't me! · 14-03-2005 10:59pm

Nope. I'm the only CTYIer in St. Marys to the best of my knowlege and I know the team anyway.

I am debate!
