Family values

weiland79

There's a young girl that works part time with me. She's a very polite very smart we'll spoken Mauritian girl and she's graduating from DCU on Saturday.

Here's the thing. It seems on Saturday there's a graduation ball, but because her aunt and uncle are visiting from the UK she is expected to stay at home and have dinner with them out of respect. They are staying for a week, surely there's plenty of time for eating with them and showing of respect but she says it would be rude of her to not be there on Saturday evening.

While I get where she's coming from and can in some small way understand it,the other side of me is saying
What the hell! You've been studying your arse off for years go out and enjoy yourself. I mean her aunt and uncle are in their seventies they're probably going to be in bed by 10 o'clock so what's she to do then, watch a. Bleedin factor repeat?

Anyway I suppose it just strikes me as strange that someone has this attitude towards family in this day and age. I can't imagine an Irish person, myself included staying in to entertain the relatives.

So what say ye. Go out and drink jäger bombs till you puke out your nose or stay at home and mind auntie?

You were hoping for the shift, weren't ye.

Ha ha I knew the first comment would be about me riding her!

Maybe she would rather be at home rather than hanging out with a bunch of off their head students.

No doubt - stay at home with family.

To be honest I'd rather stay in for dinner with family I hadnt seen in a while too as opposed to going out and getting ****faced with a bunch of idiot kids.

Each to their own I suppose.

Yeah. Doing it the other way would be revolting with all that puke about

weiland79

I suppose she'll have seen plenty of student nights and what that entails over the past four years and probably doesn't think she'll be missing much

We're men. If we're free and unless she looks way way way too young, its exactly what we'd think.

I spent the night of my graduation chasing whelks around Smithfield Market in Dublin. I wasn't stoned or anything, I was delivering them and they escaped from the fishboxes.

Aren't whelks snails ? Couldnt have been much of an escape or much of a chase. You sure you weren't stoned ?

Since she's not Irish she probably doesn't understand this form of celebration (or maybe she does and thus why she's not doing it). Maybe they celebrate differently in Mauritius too. Who knows. I'm sure she'll do what she's happy doing though.

There was about four thousand of them, you'd be surprised how far a snail can get in a short space of time.

Yes of course but can't I still start a thread on boards and point my finger and say

Look at her! She does things differently to me

10 o'clock so what's she to do then, watch a. Bleedin factor repeat?

10 is quite late

I hope she has a nice dinner. The relatives flew very far indeed and probably wouldn't be very impressed if she chose drink and dance over them.

How about you ask her out after they've gone back home instead?

Ehm...you seem to have given us an awful lot of information on the object of your infatuation this girl.

Anyone who knows a Mauritian girl graduating from DCU on Saturday will know her surely....and point her to this thread....and then she'll work out who you are....and then she'll get a restraining order.

Ireland is a small place.

Invite yourself to the house. Insist on it! Gather a few, say 4 or 5 junkies who look really dangerous. Buy 4 litres of Jäger. See what happens. Could turn out to be a good night for everyone...or not. Either way, you should definitely do this.

My advice is free and your night will be priceless. ****ing WINNING!

Report back to us afterwards.

True but she's a good skin I'm sure she won't mind, in fact I'll show her the thread to avoid any sort of embarrassment.
I wasn't so much commenting on the fact that she doesn't want to go out and get **** faced but the fact that she holds such respect for the family unit. Something I think is lacking in our society.

That's nice.





Please don't kill them. They didn't mean to intrude.
