The thread here is always a particular highlight.

If I was 18-21 again I would be, no doubt, going out getting thrashed, but now I'm older so I just tut, tut along with everyone else.

Mayo Monday? Ah here, our largest ethnic minority in the city always knew better than to sh!t on their doorstep. Get hooped but don't give away that you're a Shrule-ite, a Westportian or Foxford-ish.

Best of luck to them.

RAG week, just like the yearly thread were a lot better a good few years ago.

RAG week stopped being fun when Galway's became too good and too popular, thus bringing in bus loads of external people just here to go mad for a day or two. That's when the bag stuff started happening and it rapidly went downhill to what it is today. A pale, messier, shadow of what it used to be.

I'll stick with my good memories of mine thank you very much.

In my day it was Trinidad and Tobago Tuesday.
Some people took it too far though.

Novena starts on Monday too.

Your sources are very wrong. Cathedral has trapeze acts from Morroco hired for the week.

Aye, while you get caught in the Novena traffic down by the Cathedral on Tuesday evening, you'll have a bunch of drunk students jumping up and down on the bonnet and roof of your car while trying to kick off the wing mirror and chew on the radio antenna.

Shocking altogether!

I'd imagine it's some "enterprising" local publican who decided to promote this "event".

Next year we'll have Wickla Wednesday, Tipp Thursday, Fermanagh Friday and Shligo Saturday.
