    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 was hoping, though definitely not expecting to avoid having that show up in here

    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...

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!

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

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

    "It forms the hull!"


  • Registered Users Posts: 367 ✭✭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.
    :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 192 ✭✭Pyschopath666


    yeah he is addicted to caffine


  • Registered Users Posts: 588 ✭✭✭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.

    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

    hils


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,152 ✭✭✭carlowboy



    coin operated lampposts

    I forgot that! Then there were the monkeys with typewriters


  • Registered Users Posts: 748 ✭✭✭Zounds


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 367 ✭✭Shiney


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 652 ✭✭✭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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 270 ✭✭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...


  • Registered Users Posts: 748 ✭✭✭Zounds


    That was much fun, endless amusment all round.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,327 ✭✭✭kawaii


    Heh, I remember you...

    How's St Paul's been treating ya?


  • Registered Users Posts: 11 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 :D Ha Ha Ha!

    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...
