Ardscoil Rís

The best i remember is when we were at hurling, rugby and soccer matches and we were losing the chant would start...
We won blackboard jungle.......

One Mr. T.Smalle breaking a t-square off a students head in the corridor, his morbid fear of the Russians, and rumours of a stuffed cat he called "Tiger" on his mantlepiece at home.:D

Like I said in the other thread some of my fondest memories are of Sugrue. He calmed down alot in my later years there.

Wasting entire classes with Rita Hayes talking about everything and anything. ("Miss, did you watch the late late?")

Queuing up outside Duck Martin's office for a late slip, saying "the bus broke down", haha. He was a legend. "I'll bury you, thank you!"

Kennnedy saying "Sorry, excuse me please" when he bumps into a bin.

We had colour TVs was another one. Remember this being shouted when we were playing some crowd from Tipp.

Or how about Looby looking for Danny Glover and Mel Gibson over the intercom.

Bobby Byrnes!!! Lunatic of a man pulled me once for talking in class when I genuinely hadn't opened my mouth!
I tried to explain that he was mistaken....He went off on one saying''Are you calling me a liar!!!!'
I said 'No Sir, but you are guilty of a terminological inexactitude' He called me a cheeky little **** and told me not to attempt to bandy words with him before throwing me at the wall!!!

Looby!!!! Another lunatic! Was in late one morning and he caught me! Bollocked me for being late and having long hair....Told me make sure it was cut next time he saw me!
About a week later I was walking past him with it tied up in a high ponytail with an undercut(Short back and sides) and the sniper lamped it and cut it off!!!

Marie....We were doing human reproduction and Marie goes'During every ejaculation upto 200 million sperm are released....Now boys, why do you think this is?'
Putting up my hand and saying'Cos you might be firing a few blanks amongst the herd' was well worth the trip down to see Mickey .

Christ the memories! Fantastic School with great craic and some fantastic characters! Even down to pricks like a certain bullying prick of an English/History teacher who smacking in the chops made my J.C year bearable

Did I hear that prick died or is that just wishful thinking on my part? And if he did, was it as slow, horrible and painful as he deserved?

That person in question got a 3000 euro fine each to the two women he raped in galway. Got 5 years off the road because he used his car in the vicious attack, he was driving around in a brand new car less than a year later.

An absolute joke! I was in Galway at the time he attacked those ladies playing in a tournament he was reffing.
I was aware of the arrest and when news broke he decided it was me who let the cat out of the bag!
He proceeded to attack me in the middle of class so I decked him!
Went straight down to Mickey who in fairness given the possible outcomes for myself of expulsion handled it very well!
Never mind what would have happened the teacher!
Although saying that I did change schools for L.C

The morning it was on the front page of the star and the sun posted on the notice board brought a lot of whispers around that school. He was a sadist, had it out for me the first day in his class. Says to me are you such and such's brother, I am. Crucified me daily, slandering, getting me to touch my toes while he skimmed my arse with his steel ruler. An absolute pleb if ever one walked.

Thats an absolute fact! A bully of the highest order!
That said when I stood over him telling him bite my tit after I clattered him he stayed down whimpering
Should have been jailed for what he did to some pupils never mind those poor girls!

saw him hang a lad out the window when we were in second year on the top floor by the art room, evil bastard

You weren't Mickey's daughter by any chance?

If only I had of had the balls to have done that at te time I would have. However after telling the ould man about him. The father advised the only way to beat him was to get 100% in all his assesments. Fortunately for me History was my subject. I shut up said nothing in his class, never raised my hand, pretended to his amusement I was dumb. When the tests came around 100%. A big f u to him and his snide remarks.

Nope! I wasn't (At least I hope not....Mickey did like me Ma :P)That was a reference to one of the injuries he inflicted in Galway...
And in fairness what I did to him was self defense! He pulled me out of my desk and tried to stand on me like!
And well done on sticking it to him academically!
Suprised he didn't try to mark you down!

do ye remember the song?
In galways fair city.........

I remember we cut out a page three and glued it to the teachers desk when we had Maaaaarrrryy. She came in and left crying here eyes out.

Ducks came up then. I cant remember what happened after that.

Bobby Burns used to hate me, we had him as our year head in first year.

I remember myself and the lads spent three days out of class picking up rubbish with the little picker yokes. We'd go around with a bag and pretend to pick it up. It took them three days to cop on to the fact we werent in class ha ha.

Punky would walk into the class and lean forward and say to me go out there and pick up that money someone dropped. Id go outside and there would be a 1p coin and he'd tell me not to spend it all on one shop.

Another day he had us for civics, we were doing a thing on drugs. My mams friend was a nurse so i got one of those midwestern health board cards on all the different types of drugs and what they do. We had an essay to do on drugs so i chopped the cards up into the different drug types and stuck them into my copy book. He loved it. He used to teach the class then from my copy book. To this day the memory of Punky saying "disco buscuits" cracks me up.

The only teacher i had time for over there was Mr. Gilfoyle & DOC (he wasnt the same after his Daughter died), the rest were a pack of wasters.

I do remember thinking Gail O'Carrolls ass was savage though, I do remember by the time I had left it had gotten an awful lot bigger
