John Bowler 2002-2005

Zounds

2002:
Session 1, Legal Studies, Dermot Looney's RA group.
Let us never speak of this.

2003:
Session 1, Economics, Keith's RA group.
Don't think I got upto anything interesting...If I'm wrong, let me know.

2004:
Session 2, Philosophy, Gareth's RA group.
Roomate with the infamous and indiscrimate Cathal, up until my shower exploded that is then I got put in with Dave Franklin and the long-suffering Maurits. Franklin managed to knock at least 5 years off my life through lack of sleep and caffiene intoxication.

2005:
Session 2, Computer Applications, Donal's RA group.
My last and probably most interesting year. Shared a room with Niall Caffery, the tacit Jon Irrogoyen and quite often with Pierce and Adam too it seemed. I instigated the surprisingly successful History Sketch within which I voiced a Welshman, a Manic Anglican Inquisitor and James Mason (portraying both Julius Ceasar and God). I also hosted the Talent Show along with Dee, Declan and Eoghan. At some point I got carted off to hospital in the middle of the night. Myself and Phil (the RA) made a failed attempt on Donal's life with some home-made explosives. Most of my t-shirts were purchased online and had some geeky joke on them at all times. Oh, and it suddenly occurs to me that the Nevermore tear-drop may have been my idea. Yup, I think that's just about anything worth mentioning that I can think of.

I went in Catriona's car in the middle of the night and was back before morning, missed the damned Passionfruit cause everyone thought I was still in hospital and so didn't come to wake me. Hello Jean

That is not true, I simply have 4 identical pairs of pants (like a cartoon character) and did again this year infact...

Whut?? When were you near my hip bones and what's odd about them?

sounds like a certain cork joke *cough* Owen Joyce *cough* who only had 3 pairs of "Plain black jeans, bai"

It wasn't me!

Heh. I thank thee for your kind remark Bowler.

Fabulo

John likes FE...males.

...it's true.

three total during CTYI, twice during the session gone by. Though those two times weren't nearly as bad as the first.

Zounds

In a shameless attempt to keep this thread on the front page but also cause I just remembered this:

"It forms the hull!"

Shiney

Hey John.
It's Niamh the 'halfling commuter'(i was also not a real person according to you) from Economics 2003. I remember you had an obsession wth soy, came up with the idea of coin-operated lamp posts and broke a seat... or two.

Pyschopath666

yeah he is addicted to caffine

JenLorigan

Yay John! Despite the fact that you didn't know my name after two weeks in my class, and stole my hands for some time today.

Awayindahils

i only have two things to say

firstly and i hope to never hear this again-

coin operated lampposts

secondly

get off my jeans.

it was cool that i eventually got to know you though and ill probably see you soon enough randomly at the green

I forgot that! Then there were the monkeys with typewriters

Zounds

Oh yeah the good old coin operated lamposts and complex monkey theory

Shiney

I clearly remember you shouting SOY! all the time and at the closing ceremony

Jim_Are_Great

John, oh John. You're a comical man. I remember almost heammorhaging (feel free to correct that hideous attempt to utilise English) blood at your "it forms the hull". It was inexplicable comic gold. Well done.

LordCran

You don't know me, but I know all about you. Oh yes. Actually, the main thing I wanted to point out was your contribution to the now famous (though not as much as it should be) Who'd win in a Fight? conversation. A whole hour and a half conversation about theoretical fights between fictional characters. Good times...

Zounds

That was much fun, endless amusment all round.

kawaii

Heh, I remember you...

How's St Paul's been treating ya?

i hate jedis

Ha Ha Ha I shot Bowler in the neck in Birr (The Most Boring Town in Ireland FACT!) with a confetti gun of all things Ha Ha Ha!

the evil lime

Hey, they went back to Birr ??? Or was that just years ago, in the session John doesn't want mentioned. On that topic, some random memories: shopping, pillars, wasted time, R vs Brown...

Zounds

Kawaii: hi, who are you?

I hate Jedis: yes you did, you bastard

The Evil lime: It was your god-damned fault =P

kawaii

Read (and reply to dammit!) your PMs...

elephamt king

i dont knw if i have already said this but:
John likes feet!

kawaii

John for teh reply.

NOW!

Zounds

Stop spamming up my thread, I'll reply when I'm good and ready to!

kawaii

I thought the whole point of this thread was for spam, no?

Whateva...

Zounds

That's only technically true!

Piste

I hadn't posted in this thread.

Your FACE's only technically true.

Raphael

Yore ma's face is only technically true

JenLorigan

Your ma has sex with strangers but she doesn't charge them and that's why your family's poor!

Raphael

Yeah, well Yore ma gives lousy head. It's atrocious, like a toothless dog trying to eak a carrot.

Liquorice

I'm not going to forgive you for causing me to flash my underwear to the entire quad. Adam kept pulling me one way and I was screaming at you to let go of my feet...and then I fell. That is my most prominent inside-CTYI Bowler memory. And it is not nice.

*shakes fist in the proper, non-weird Marieke way*

americanCat

hehe john, i'll always remember you as the guy who was always fascinated in my camera and wanted to borrow Interview with the Vampire... did you ever even *read* it???????????

WHAT THE F-CK?

I dunnae remember that at all and you didn't mention it at the time........or for that matter any time before now o.0

[EDIT] After some thought I do remember you being pulled between me and Adam but not the flashing[/EDIT]

You've known me for over three years and I'm still that guy??

And no, I never did finish that book

Love

I remember you picking me up and passing me around the quad. Which was scary. I'm too tall and too heavy for that. And I freaked and you nearly dropped me. And then you passed me around to other people who were so kind as to lie about how "light" I was as they desperately looked around for someone to pass me on to before their knees buckled under my weight. Fun fun.

Also, I will get you back for whatever reason I was trying to kill you that time. And for photographing me at the reunion. I HATE photographs!!

LordCran

You should hate photos. They capture a part of your soul. My soul currently resides in various pieces, in various places. There's a large piece in my school yearbook, for example.
I'll shut up now...
