    At random times during the year but particularly during the likes of
    rag week, clubs and socks day, etc.

    Just because you're getting them for free doesn't mean you'll be getting it for free.

    Freshers pack during orientation week, then there are free condoms during shag week and then I think that is it...DCU will charge the **** out of you for anything else...surprisingly though Pharmhealth on campus is actually pretty competitive and Chambers pharmacy up by the slipper give you a discount if you show them your DCU card...

    Well when a girl came up to me with a bucket of them and I took a fistful,
    it seemed pretty free to me.
    The fact that she didn't ask for money was also an indicator.

    Damn lack of emphasis on the "IT". :rolleyes:

    But yeah, loads of condoms.
    They weren't Durex or anything, just some brand that
    I have never heard of.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 118 ✭✭glenn3ie


    It always seems to be Durex.. maybe there's a market opening there for any business students? An Irish brand of condoms..maybe call them gnéas? I'm sure you could find a few friendly students in DCU who would conduct market research and test out your prototypes!

    Very true! Ah they're not even that expensive.. well that all depends on how much you're using them I suppose :P

    You just walk into the SU to the welfare officer(or whatever he is called now) and ask for condoms, they have a big box of them there to give out on request, also all your lube needs. During shag week you get shag packs with booklets, condoms, lube and some random stuff. Also I don't think they hand out Durex, its something boy..

    When you go for your tour with the SU they give you goodie packs with random food leaflets, if you sign up to AIB in the library you get like free credit and USB stick, Bank of Ireland are at the gates to sign people up to, but there not allowed on campus. Usually redbull and some ice cream place turn up and give out free samples too...

    Billy Boy ftw!

    Anyway, if you're that desperate, just request a free sample here: http://www.durex.com/ie/aboutdurex/contactdurex.asp

    They'll probably even throw in some free flavoured lube for good measure!:D

    Embarrassment? What's embarrasing about getting condoms?

    "I'm going to get laid. Woe is me."


    =p

    Is that a challenge?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,148 ✭✭✭mehfesto2


    I doubt it's a truckload! :D
    I'd say it's more like a wee parcel.
    Also, if you're reaaaaallllly stuck for money and you need a few mister-covers, the E2 shop on Liffey Street does them. And cowboy hats too. And a spanking paddle... ...truth be told you could liven up your sex life for under a tenner in there. :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,787 ✭✭✭g5fd6ow0hseima


    Hopefully they'll be handing out wilkinson sword quattros in those bags like they did last year, grabbed a few of them and saved myself a lotta money in the process.

    But hopefully - NO ADEZ


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Jaysus that stuff was putrid, also, sign up for bank accounts...BOI give you a welcome pack, think AIB give you money too...and a free travelcard...

    Ehm, I think they were also giving out free riverrock aswell at that stand with the Aids...

    Also, free Irish Timesesesesesesesesssssss were around the place...

    And, clubs and socs day brings with it a nice bit of stuff...

    Also, DCU is the place if you truly love red bull...

    its all about the freshers ball - locked


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 229 ✭✭Katniss everMean


    Freshers ball is good, but not one of the good balls of the year.. Well in the getting pissed if you want sure, but I more so meant for bands and djs.

    Lack of funds means a lot of drinking at home before going in...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,787 ✭✭✭g5fd6ow0hseima


    I found it the only credible ball of the year - the halloween ball was shambolic due to poor organising, christmas ball - button factory was a bad choice, the rag ball lacked any atmosphere you would have hoped for for a university rag week,

    summer ball - wrist bands and no leaving after 10pm - enough said
