Just finished the new one, anyone else gotten that far yet? WHAT is the story with the ending? I'm majorly baffled right now! Gaah!! help, please?

cormie

Hey, I just ordered my gf the book online... is the new one the bridesmaide one? That's the one I ordered, it said it wasn't out till 2005 on amazon.co.uk and that the one with the rugby player on the front is out in november, so I thought that was the newest, but then i went to the o'briens site and was able to order the bridesmaide.

thanks.

Plunky

"...Bridesmaids" is the new one. the one with the rugby player on the front (as in wearing the Leinster jersey) is the second book, rereleased with new material.

Piste

Damnit I really wanna read the first and last ones, being in Muckross and all. My friend from Laois was staying with me and wanted to see Muckross and Gonzaga cos she heard so much about them from the books.

abraham lincoln

No, the one with the guy wearing the leinster jersey on the front, i.e. "The teenage dirt-bag years",was first released as" Roysh Here, Roysh Now", is the first one. "The Orange Mocha-Chip Frappuccino Years" is the second book. now theres "PS, I scored the bridesmaids". Theres a new one coming out, i think, called "The Miseducation Years", http://www.obrien.ie/book527.cfm for more. The back page of the sunday tribune news section every week on till then. Paul Howard is a god.

Piste

No the Miseducation years is the first one, it is when Ross is still in school.

The important thing is, this is in the wrong damn forum

Literature Forum tbh

Barry Aldwell

*walks in*

*reads thread*

*walks back out, shaking head*

Plunky

It's CTYI related cuz CTYI people enjoy the books!..
Miseducation may have new material but chronologically is definitely the first one. I recently got the mother of all insults - "You're the one person i know who can read RO'C-K the way it's meant to be read without putting on an accent". Anyone who knows me knows that's not true..
and raph, in fairness, it's FAR from literature!

cormie

So I got the right one then? The newest is definitely ...Brides????

I haven't got a clue about them but my gf thinks they are great. She loves slagging the d4 "tossers".

Plunky

yeah you got it right...
don't we all!?

Piste

Hahah me too, I can see most of my year (which is 2nd year so its pretty scary seeing as the prople in the books are in 6th yr/ College) in the books.

abraham lincoln

sorry, my bad concernineg the miseducation years. i had never heard or seen it until today so persumed that it was new.the site i found it on said that it hadn't been published yet.

Piste

They would make such a funny TV series.

pinkpimp

No, I reckon ROCK wouldn't really make for a good movie or TV show. It's the kind of humour that doesn't translate that well. Plus, I doubt its going to happen, seeing as the target audience is the North side of Dublin, it wouldn't be too cost-effective. I doubt anyone would waste that much money on it... Still, you could get on to the makers of Waterworld...

Piste

Waterworld?

pinkpimp

Lost millions... biggest loss of money in the history of cinema.

Caoimhe

Possibly because of the PILE OF ****E aspect of the movie...

They'd probably construct a floating replica of the Northside, and move all the inhabitants from the real Northside onto it

Raphael

Then we could ignite/sink the whole thing! (Yes I am aware that both Aldwell and Zounds are Northsiders)

Caoimhe

And me. Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. (Huzzah for dodgy Hulk quotage!)

Raphael

Still looking like an acceptable loss, no offence Caoimhe.

Caoimhe

God help you if you ever show up at a reunion I'm at...

Hey, I'm supposed to be the nutjob who goes on about acceptable casualty levels!

PurpleFistMixer

Yes, because we'd all LOVE to sink DCU to the bottom of the ocean.

Raphael

It would be a replica DCU. The real one would be intact and northsider free!

pinkpimp

Even though I do live on the Northside, I'd still have to say it's a great idea.

Caoimhe

How about the CTYIers get to pick who goes on the replica Northside so we can save the people who don't deserve to be blown up. I.E. me...

Barry Aldwell

I spend around 40% of my time on the Southside, can I claim dual citizenship, and thus escape the explosion?

Piste

Sounds good to me. Or we could build a big shopping centre, that sold Nike, John Player and Dutch gold and all the 'undesirables' would flock there.............................oh wait they did, it's called the square Tallaght

Caoimhe

You have to admit the only people who can do a decent Northsider accent are Northsiders. Which is an advantage when they're on an "anyone who's different" annihilation spree, you switch on the accent, they feck off. Everyone wins

Ye fukin startin?

abraham lincoln

i say run with the floating replica idea, zounds is more then an acceptable loss, though vast areas on the south side would have to be added on. ah...theres nothing like a bit of genocide...

Bazookatone

Wasn't "Cutthroat Island" the biggest flop in the history of cinema, "Waterworld" just went over budget, it still recouped it's losses.

The floating Northside idea is good, let's just keep the blanchardstown centre, shall we, it would be a pleasent place if it was scanger free.

Undergod

[SURLY ARGUMENT MODE] You're the biggest flop in the history of cinema! [/SURLY ARUGMENT MODE]

Other than that, I've no real place in the senseless (albeit amusing) skanger-bashing this thread has degenerated into. I mean, I'm not from Dublin, but most of my school are like that.

<sudden light: an evil grin spreads on his face>

On the other hand <rushes to Nerd-Cave to design Doomsday Device>

I haven't read any of the ROCK books through. Are they as good as/better than/inferior to the column?

Can I borrow that when you're done?

Was anyone here there last week when that woman started giving out to us about the skanger bashing?

Old woman: 'You should be ashamed of yourselves! Just because you obviously have more money than them!'

Colm 'Wel, you're entitled to your own opinion'

Old Woman: 'No we're not!

Colm 'Oh, so your NOT entitled to your own opinion?'



Old woman to me and Jenny 'And you two, young ladies, you should be more mature

Me *Mumbles* 'I'll keep him on a chan and collar'

Old Woman 'WHAT DID YOU SAY?'

Me 'Um, I said I'll keep him under control' *sniggers*

mentalimplosion

in the airport in milan this morning with my year... (forty girls carrying fake louis vuitton bags, wearing abercrombie and fitch hoodies and dubes....) and in walks the northside contingency... (fred perry, overplucked eyebrows and huge feckoff medallions). both sides were scared of eachother.

Piste

How was Italy? Apparentyly you are the last year to go. Next year it'll be something like Prague , Viatnam, Brazil or South Africa.

God I love that movie

Mmmmmm genocidalicious, hey there's a word. Jenny are you reading this?????!

Paul Howard was in Hughes & Hughes today signing copies of 'P.S. I scored the bridesmaid' today.

mentalimplosion

pinkpimp

You arent supposed to feed those.

mentalimplosion

Jim_Are_Great

A wild gondola escaped from the zoo and ate an old lady down the road from me.

Suprisingly, the one listed as "Barry Aldwell" on the roll sheet. If you look around hard enough, I posted a picture of me féin a while back

It wasn't me!

Those books are so good. But yeah, the Square. *shudder* I live near that. I once got attempt-mugged by three different groups of six-year-olds between the bus-stop and the door. Three! I say we just convince the Square to have a massive sale and then, when the skobes are all inside, we firebomb it!

Hear Hear!

Fantabulous, I like it. I shall add it onto my list of cool words.

pinkpimp

W00t! MASS GENOCIDE!! Where do I sign?
