RAG Week Predictions/Info/Hopes

Duddy

In relation to cian1500ww's post in gen. discussion...

What are we hoping for for RAG Week this year?

Anyone have any sneaky-info about whats happening?

Any predictions??



I'm gonna say....
Inflatables on Monday + usual 3 euro drinks = vomity SU
Once-popular boy/girl-band minus some members on Tuesday
Culchie band on Wednesday
Headphone disco


Taking all bets now:p

K4t

So basically a repeat of freshers'? Very original...:pac:

Duddy

With the added advantage of a larger alcohol tolerance:p
Those are only my predictions mind..who knows, we might get a leg wax thrown in for good measure:rolleyes:

Ah yes, the charity leg wax...

We should take bets on which 90s pop group Maynooth will have the pleasure of hosting this year. I'm going for 5ive, with maybe two or three of the lineup That would be slightly ironic lol.

cian1500ww

Anything but washed up pop groups PLEASE !!!
Wouldn't mind the Saw Doctors though, Galway always get 'em

Yes, that's normally when the most exam hints and exam essential material is covered, wa*k*rs :rolleyes:

There's still lectures, labs, tutorials etc on rag week. There doesn't tend to be too high of a turnout though :pac:

lolz, didn't see your post Cian they do tend to give out exam hints that week, which is quite annoying.

Hammer Archer

Don't think there's ever been 3 Euro drinks on Monday. They usually leave it until Tuesday so they'll make more money on the Monday.

You just need a rotation policy, with the most sober member of the group going to lectures and taking down stuff for everyone.

Lol, I'll forget to do that until rag week and then I'll be too drunk/hangover to do it
Would make sense though

Rag week predictions for myself: Mostly drunk with a chance of horny.

Dunno if there's any truth in it- but I heard we're only getting a RAG day- but with an awesome band line up?

Duddy

God so many people would be sickened...

Actually screw that I'd be sickened, it lessens the chances of me getting hints from the lecturers that week:rolleyes:

AFAIK tho, the SU Pres said RAG Week was going ahead (at UC in December).

Seren_

God, can you imagine the uproar there would be if they put on RAG Day instead of RAG Week? It'll never happen, I'm sure the SU likes a bitta ragging as much as the rest of us


/waits for this post to come back and haunt me when it now inevitably happens cuz I said it wouldn't

Duddy

ITS BEEN CONFIRMED!!! ONLY A RAG DAY!!!

Don't do that :mad: I almost had heart failure :P

If they do only have a RAG day I'll boycott it, we need a week after we get the results for these exams

Jimmy Iovine

I've heard from a few people now that The Wombats are playing during Rag Week on a specially built stage out on the rugby pitch. Would probably be a like a mini Oxegen and that

PrivateEye

I'd rather a few Irish bands and acts like Fight Like Apes, Super Extra Bonus Party, Japanese Popstars or even a larger one or two like Damo Dempsey and comedians like David O' Doherty (we can have him again, he is that good) etc. than a load of CRAP reformed pop bands.

Still, this opens the floodgates of that great debate...

"what do most people want?"

Holsten

Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll!

Oh, and a bit of alcohol too.

LeixlipRed

There's wanting something and then there's being able to afford something.

Please don't say that!! hahah!! mind u i am on here instead of learning the riviting Irish poetry and page turner of a geo book!! Bleh!

I'm well up for the mini Oxegen!! Be so much fun!! Set up a few tents in the garden- get the rea feel for it!! We'll make a RAG week of it anyways I'm sure !

Duddy

mini-oxegen would start off awesome, and descend rapidly into chaos... I'd be surprised if they be allowed do it by the Health and Safety guys, they're apparently stricter than most...

That's the spirit

I heard too that it's meant to be a mini festival thing and that they're working on cancelling lectures just for that day and trying to get loads of bands which to me sounds awesome. Plus if it is at the start of March, don't know how much enjoyment will be squeezed out of it from my end considering my thesis is due in on March 5

Please tell me it's only PART of rag week ??

Nision

They can say its only one day if they want, i reckon most students will make it a week anyway (I know i will).
Be a good opportunity for Mantra or the likes to sweep in and take up the rest of the days of the week with an unofficial rag week.
