A Nocturnal Highlight

Handsome Bob

Does anyone care to share their fondest memory in darkest dark?:D

Mine would have to be the night most of 5th year and Transition Year took over my local green. It was after a TY Play and was just a total spur of the moment thing. There was an absolutely huge number of people taking part in all kinds of drunken debauchery and all in good spirit too. The highlight of the night would have to be when the guards were called, there was so many of us that they didn't know which way to turn when everybody scattered into various directions. Good times.:D

Don't let this thread fall flat.:pac::p

LD 50

This isn't one of mine, but it's the first one that came to mind, and sounds funny as hell.

A friend of mine was playing Marco Polo in a massive forest with a load of his friends in a forest one night. The guards must have seen their cars parked up nearby and thought they were doing drugs or something, which they were not. The guards pulled in, sounded the siren, started shouting into the forest for them all to come out. They were all hiding up trees and behing trees, trying to hold back the laughs. The cops wouldn't go into the forest though. Eventually, my friend walked out, and the guards started questioning him, asking who he was, where he was from, what he was doing there, all that jazz. He just said they were playing Marco Polo. The cops didnt believe him, so they searched him, and his car. They wanted to search everyone else there, but the cops wouldn't go into the forest, and there was nooone else coming out. So eventually they left, with my friend splitting his sides laughing.

As for shenanigans I'd get up to in "the darkest dark", I'm pretty sure I would get banned for posting such things!

The night the Magners / Bulmers lorry overturned just outside Abbeyleix and all the locals turned up and then had it away on their toes with the cargo. For months you couldn't get into garages and spare rooms for crates of cider. Of course I was not involved!

I would let you off with a hair ruffle and a "Go on you loveable rogue!" but in case thats interpreted as flirting I'll settle for a "Well Duh!"

it was lifted because users seemed to get why it was implemented. And there was no chaos when it was lifted,so its still lifted. *pervs on everyone* the nocturnal mods have lovely bottoms. Sure don't all the nocturnals have lovely bottoms.

*raises hand*

I'll have whatever he's having.:D:P Another nocturnal highlight for me would have been the same night as my previous post mentioned. One of my mates was on his knees begging(literally) some girl to go off with him in front of a mass crowd. It would have been sad had it been anyone else.:pac:

pretty-in-pink

Hmmm either star gazing as a kid with my Dad up the mountains,
or mosre recently with my fella out the back,

Or the games of hide and seek we used to play in the graveyard of our Primary schools church. Esp on foggy night. We used to terrify eachother. Fun times :cool:

Mines gotta be the parties I threw when i was 16-17, 30-40 people in my house all getting wasted, and having great fun! We even cooked cocktail sausages and the like... Ahhh thems were the days!

I used to love stargazing as a kid. I'd learn all the constellations and their orbits and where they would be at different times of the year. For years I had a giant star map of Orion over my bed. *Sigh* Now all I have over the bed is cobwebs!!

Random pointless terror, the true spice of childhood!

A funny memory I have is of being very small and my mothers younger brothers were visiting. Mam went apes**t when she went to bed and found that they had filled the bed with thistles, nettles, holly, basically whatever the little sods could find.

Nocturnal highlight: Stranded in Donard, walking back to Dublin, kipping in a shed and being chased out of it by an irate farmer! True story.

Crumble Froo

my favourite nocturnal times were from living back at 18, with one of my best mates, the kind that only come round once in a lifetime. we used to spend usually at least three nights a week sitting in in our dingy little sitting room, with our speakers and subwoofer, watching things like family guy, south park, the mighty boosh, withnail and i, and music dvds/tv. we'd talk, chat, philosophise, reminisce, joke, plan for futures that were never gonna happen, review everything we've experienced and what we've learned.

once a week, we'd do it with two mates, one of whom, no matter how much im distanced from her, will always hold such a special place in my heart, the four of us used to have such craic, banter, just such fun chillin together, being ourselves, loving life, figuring it out... best memories are in that sitting room, just chilling with the people i care about most. go to bed when the sun came up, and never a minute before hand.

Missed the one and only bus after a serious three day Halloween party up the side of a mountain. We were still drunk when the decision to walk back was made. Anyway by the time we hit the main road we were wrecked and decided to kip in an old cottage that was used as a shed. Round ten o clock farmer comes along, takes exception to our presence and issues eviction notice. It was a loooong cold walk back to Blessington. Can laugh about it now though. The party was pretty good too!

Once of the nicest night-times I ever had was walking back home at around eleven at night from my uncle's house on the other side of my town, with my dad. It had just snowed (it was around Christmas time) and everywhere was frozen and sparkly and pretty...I'm sure I could put it more poetically than that but, meh, you get the idea!:pac:

And of course, walking home slightly sozzled with my best mate in dark, talking nonsense...but I'm sure everyone does that!

That sounds perfect and it's truly unique because I don't know how many snowy Christmas's we're going to get in the future.:pac:

And drunken walking with the best mate on a dark night is always the best once there is no drama.:D

I know, christmas just plain sucks without snow! Snow at night-time is really beautiful, i think!

Thankfully,I've not had any bad experience walking home from a night out yet!:)

Gosh how I would have loved for my teenage years to go by without any drunken drama.:pac: I've seen ambulances and drunken wrestling, and my friends having what I like to refer to as "episodes".:pac::D

entropi

Quite possibly the fondest memory i have involves me and my friends when i was around 12-13 adventuring around the local area at night. So we went down to the original city walls and St Audoens church grounds to see if we could find anything scary/interesting etc...well we happened to see the local banshee called The Green Lady, i kid you not. We watched for a few seconds, then scattered like rats from a sinking ship towards home, what a night

My night-time adventures seem rather pale in comparison now!

I'll have to engage in some drunken wrestling next time though it could all go horribly wrong...;)

I'd strongly recommend against it. The last time I was involved I taunted my mate telling him he couldn't lift me up, he ends up picking me up and airspinning me into the ground/grass faces first.:pac: If it wasn't grass I would have been messed up.:o

Yes! I've been there man. Nothing like "scattering" into the dark night after an incident. The heart does be pumping like mad.

Ah, drunken late night wrestling.

One of my favourite memories is of myself and another comedian being shit-faced in London. We had a gig that went great (competition thing that we both rocked the hell out of and resulted in us performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival that year, very big deal to us) and ended up back in a friend of mines place where we were staying. We were still pumped up from the gig so we sneakily helped ourselves to a bit of a half full bottle of Jack Daniels from the drinks cabinet, reasoning that we had brought over a bottle of jd to say thanks for letting us stay there so it was cool for us to have a wee drink since the house would still be ahead.

Three hours later we had finished the end of that bottle and drank half of the bottle we had brought over, essentially having drank the gift we brought over, and ended up having a wrestling match in the back garden while completely shitfaced and then we sat down and watched the sun come up while sharing a smoke.

Good times
