oh i thought i was breaking the rules of the site or something by talking about drugs. did you get my pm? for some reason i was able to send one to you.

I got yours but couldn't reply. Talking about drugs is fine but encouraging their use isn't. And personally I'd never encourage let alone condone their use. :pac:

whop

drug use is encouraged by the college itself. you could buy drink in most tents; which according to jessie j seems to be the biggest problem.

I think if the drink wasn't so expensive (or the actual gig itself) then people wouldn't get as plastered before they go in. But you do load up on drink beforehand so you don't have to buy any in there.

Trinity Ball is weird.

Aye, drugs are rarely the problem or at least on their own. Trouble is drink and/or someone who doesn't know how drugs work.
Also I was disappointed in the computer room yesterday when some girls were talking, one said she had a date coming up and the others started gossiping about him. I could've known him for all they knew. Anyone the decided to all get out of their heads and "score" all round at the ball. Very sad.

whop

Larianne you make an excellent point. As far as I was aware, pints were €5, and 250ml cans of premixed vodka and coke were €5 too. It's a big event and people want to get trollied, this is a fact. Every single person in the house party I was at drank themselves into oblivion. Downing vodka/whiskey/rum, you name it. The queue was just as bad. People standing outside drinking inhuman amounts just to be s**tfaced going in.

If people decide to do other drugs they should at least have the brains to do a bit of personal research and take their own safety precautions before hand. For the most part they're safe, once you're not an idiot.

Oh, and please point me towards these slutty girls :P

LOL, I must try to get out around the end of an exam for a drinking contest, it'll be hilarious to see the fcukers I hear every Monday going on about how much they drank over the weekend pass out at 9pm when I'm around. :P

It's a long time since I did anything other than drink and longer before that that I mixed. Doing more than one thing (drink or any drugs) on one night is stupid. Apart from anything else I've heard that spliffing or drinking when taking MDMA or pills does nothing except blunt the high.

All I've heard all day today was "I had a great night last night, can't remember ANYTHING, and I'm dying today"-Sounds fantastic to me.

whop

facebook is littered with comments like that. great night, can't remember anything. don't see how that makes sense at all, haha.

I was fecking raging the first time I went to the ball, I drank as much as everyone else and followed all the hype and advice about sneaking in drink and buying it in there etc. All I got out of it was an 8 hour gap in my memory that cost me 80 quid. Total waste of money.

Then this year and last year I drank a hell of a lot less and had a way better time. If you want to get plastered and forget everything go to a house party for free, not a black tie music festival!

The story was on the RTE website, and just saw it on the BBC site now too:

Pop star Jessie J has said she was shocked to see many people so drunk they "could not even stand" at a university gig.

If you have any photos, certain tabloids will pay a couple of hundred Euro for them. 4 figures if someone famous (although nobody famous would be caught dead at the TB these days).

This seems like an absolutely ridiculous overreaction to a few fenians getting a little bit too drunk. I can understand BBC NI jumping on the bandwagon that all Free Staters are drunken fools but it was being discussed on at least two radio stations throughout the day today.

Get over it! Temple Bar is no worse on a Saturday night. I'm not sure if the media has it in for Trinity or whether they are reporting the story disingenuously but it is getting ridiculous at this stage.

That's typical of every student night out in Dublin.

Well I wasn't there myself, but from talking to people before and after it certainly sounded like they had gotten far more drunk than a 'typical student night' - as is the norm for the Trinity Ball.

And I really don't get your 'Fenians / Free Staters' comment.

Right, you weren't there yourself so that's why I am wondering is the media having a go at Trinity just because it was the Trinity Ball. I know quite a few people who were there and who didn't have complaints about excessive drunkness, anymore than your "typical student night" in out fair nation's capital.

I was once called a "Free Stater" by some one from the north and it always stuck with me as being funny. Because all northerns are the exact same (intentionally gross and facetious generalisation!) I presume that BBC NI views everyone south of the border as Free Staters.

The Fenian remark was yet another facetious dig a Trinity students, who, one could argue, are the least likely members of society to have a republican leaning. Again, that is a generalisation and is very much open to criticism.

Irrelevant, no-one is interested or cares in your idiotic trolling - shut up.

"And I really don't get your 'Fenians / Free Staters' comment." No question mark if you wan't to be pedantic but there is an unquestionable suggestion that an explanation was needed.

It is not up to an IT student to decide what is "idiotic" I'm afraid. Good man for taking part though. Perhaps you should learn some basic manners while you're at it. Ta.

The faux arrogant condescending posting style falls down just a tad when you're an Arts student in UCD.

At least JonJoeDali can be occasionally funny.

There is a slight difference between Orts at UCD and History and Politics at UCD. Something to do with about 120 points at the LC. Glad to see you still don't care, even though you insist upon replying. LAWLZ!

I didn't say Orts, I said Arts. Unless you're claiming History and Politics isn't an Arts degree? And thank you for showing us that the arrogance is indeed real, and not put on for trolling purposes.
Shame you didn't know that HPO is common entry DN500 now, and not a seperate course.

Oh no, all those 400 point proles doing your course, you must be dying inside
