Junior Cert Jailbait night out

thejuggler

Was passing through town earlier and saw a queue of scantily clad 16 year olds queuing up to get into a venue for a results night gig. It was like an episode of my big fat gypsy wedding.
More sinister was the number of adult males hanging around observing.

Hope it passes off safely. It must be a terrifying night for their parents

They were just the dads dropping them off.

My Inter Cert was 1960, I think, we didn't do anything to celebrate.

Hate to be working in the emergency services tonight.

My Inter cert was split between the old White Horse Inn and the Liffey Bar.
Fingered a lesbian in a nook that we found underneath Liberty Hall.
Neither of us knew she was a lesbian at the time though tbf.
Although I did have long blonde hair at the time and was wearing suede chelsea boots, so maybe she had an idea alright.

Funnily enough, in the northside of Dublin during the 80s we actually used to call a fanny, a cranny, so you could have just gone with the more common expression there :P

KERSPLAT!

I had a naggin of vodka down a local lane way the night of my JC, pished outta my mind!

GLaDOS

I had friends over and we played video games. Never drank at that age.

I was an incredibly lame 15 year old.

Samsgirl

I feel old. I did the Inter Cert.

It was the night I first encountered absinthe, I can still taste it as well as remembering the spew of the mothers dinner mixed with the alcohol. Still shifted half the disco and finger blasted a few mothers though.

My junior cert results night consisted of drinking a naggin of the shïttest Polish vodka my cousin could buy, getting sick all over the dancefloor, been thrown out, getting a snack box, getting sick in my ma's car, a slap around the lug and bed.

Six cans of Kilkenny for a fiver, 20 smokes and shared a taxi home. All for a tenner. That was my junior night in 1996

The Backwards Man

I was on a fish lorry.

I watched RTE news at 9pm about other junior cert pupils "celebrating" their results. Then I watched prime time followed by news on two and then bed. Got up for school the next morning and had corn flakes for breakfast.

That was pretty much mine too, though don't think Prime Time was around. Possibly stayed up for Nighthawks.

sunshine and showers

I went to a teen disco and had great (sober) craic dancing with my friends who didn't drink. I was only 15 and drink didn't interest me. The rest of my friends (and nearly everyone else in the town it seemed) got hammered outside or in the night club toilets.

Woke up the next day to a picture on the front page of a national tabloid of two girls in our year stone drunk and seemingly kissing. You couldn't see their faces, but we all knew who they were.Twas quite the scandal!

The parents shouldn't be letting them out dressed like that.

Nothing wrong with that. You were only 15. I and others were trying to be way too grown up too early.

Thats exactly what I said. He added he was waiting outside the house for ages but when one girl came out a middle aged woman followed her out and slipped a naggin into he handbag

We didn't know what that was, It was a pint or a short or "we don't have that sh1te in here"

Ah my inter cert results night was a bit mad and involved lots of drunken fooling around.

EazyD

Junior night was great tbh. What wasn't so great was crashing in my mates and then heading from there to school the next day, albeit late and still mouldy from the previous nights cans.

First class in and one of the cans I forget about at the bottom of my bag bursts, smelling the whole classroom up of warm cheap Tuberg lager. Not one of my finest moments as a young lad.

Two Sheds

Dressing like prostitutes and getting stoned out of their tiny minds?

We are talking about children here.. right?

I went to a gig in The Button Factory earlier and before going in, I witnessed a long queue of those scantily-clad young girls going into The Mezz (I think). There were adults standing looking at them but they weren't just adults males. There were some women there too, and most of the onlookers looked like tourists.



I did the Inter Cert in 1988 and I don't think I did anything in particular to celebrate. Alcohol definitely wasn't involved.

Feck. I'm even older. I was in the last year to do the Inter cert.

The Backwards Man

I did the Junior in 1993, was that the second year of it?

Feel like a young pup posting here tonight!

Me too. I think I got 6 cans and roamed the streets drinking with my mates.

I did the Group in 90 and the Inter in 91

My ex (while in his 30's) used to always make sure to be out for the night of the JC results. Don't know whether it was being pervy or was his mental age. Either way.. *shudders*

rip up the results they dont matter. its terrible putting so much pressure on 13-16 year olds for an exam which means nothing.

I did the Inter Cert in 1990. The Leaving in '93. '90 was definitely the last year for the Inter.

It seems I'm wrong. It was '91.:o

Senna

21 years ago for me too, we got a few cans of beer and drank them in a friends house, walked into town and if memory serves me correctly, walked back home again.

I started secondary in 88....so Group in second year ie 90 and then my inter the following year which was 91.

Yeah, edited above. I was thinking of my brother who was the last year to do it. Because the fcukers wouldn't build a school for us, we had a half day every day for the whole year in 4th year. The b@stards then made us repeat it! So me and the bro did our Leaving in the same year.

tastyt

I honestly haven't a ****ing notion what I did the night of my junior or leaving cert results. Maybe drank a few cans somewhere and went out to try and score a bird. Nothing out of the ordinary to the next ten years of weekends really.

Suppose I didn't hang around with lads who put too much value on the results. And **** are we paying for it now ha

Grab All Association

Ugh it's only the Junior Cert. What's the point going out celebrating/binge drinking and putting yourself at risk of sexual assault for what's the equivalent of 8 level 3 FETAC'S on the National Framework of Qualifications?

The National Adult Literacy Agency (NALA) and Fás offer level 3 courses to the illiterate.

I did the JC in 2006 I think. We went to a nightclub and I probably got a bit drunk. Would have went home early enough after. Nothing too exciting

I did buy a very low cut dress which was really expensive and I felt amazing in it

Pubs in Newcastle West were packed to the rafters back in 1989 or 1990. Underage drinking was a major factor in the economy of small town Ireland. Nobody died and nobody got laid. Although of course the usual suspects pulled 10 birds (who then vanished into thin air) and had mad passionate sex with them.

Don't remember there being any sexnanigans the night of my junior cert (that I knew of) either. Lots of extremely wasted teenagers all right though. Only shockin' Joe so it was! :eek:

As to what young Duffy himself got up to out in Ballyer back on the night of his results - the old wans are still talking about it.

Paddy Cow

Is it the Junior Cert or Cycle now? It's hard to keep up.
