Rag week is Drag week

mada999 · 24-02-2003 2:35pm #1

anyone think rag week so far is a joke ?

there's too many in college, I came in to see if people were goin' to classes and yes they are!!! my plan was to arrive to class about 20 mins late, and if no-one was there i was gonna head home, but people turned up for class therefore the roll is called and i have to go in or lose my grant!!!!!!!!

damn!

I'm gonna go to aldi and get my steinhauser bottles and drink em then head to the revs later and get pished. . . .

clansman · 24-02-2003 2:42pm

well none of our class turned up. but we all agreed not to come in. where are the revs playing and how much is it to get in....

mada999 · 24-02-2003 2:45pm

wish my class was like that, maybe it'll be different 2morrow,

as far as i know the rev's are playin' in the hedge 2nite i think its €5 with a student card.

clansman · 24-02-2003 2:55pm

well there is only 5 in my class which is really cool. u should get the class together and all agreed not to turn u. u in first year?

Redrocket · 24-02-2003 4:11pm

Stephen · 24-02-2003 5:08pm

You think most music that isn't death/black/evil/tractor/dead babies/hardcore/ghey/fisting/thrash/cock metal is sh1te though

I quite like their "louis walsh is a wanker" song.

Ruaidhri · 24-02-2003 5:48pm

and i quite like A**L C**TS Technology is gay song but that does not make them a good band.

ballooba · 24-02-2003 5:53pm

Thought this thread was about ITC students dressing in Drag. Always thought you were a pack of nancy boys

.

Stephen · 24-02-2003 6:02pm

Heh... Now that you mention that...

They had a gay wedding in the canteen today as part of rag week. The "bride" was scary.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 24-02-2003 6:07pm

banbutcher · 25-02-2003 10:33am

ShayK1 · 25-02-2003 10:39am

mada999 · 25-02-2003 11:57am

Moonbeam · 25-02-2003 1:17pm

Snowball · 25-02-2003 2:47pm

Spacedog · 25-02-2003 3:32pm

It's crappy the way people forget the real meaning of rag weeks, it's not for students to go out and get lamped and streak around the campus just for sh1ts and giggles, it's to raise cash for charity, that's why rag weeks started iirc. And they haven't exactly been all that succesful in doing that the past few years...which might explain why some college bars are being shut for rag week?

Moonbeam · 26-02-2003 12:09pm

I disagree its a week to have loadsa fun,get up to more mischief then normal,not have to worry too much bout college and in the meantime raise money for good causes ,
The facts also stand that there was alot of trouble in some student bars last year and its perfectly understandable and justified that they are closed during the day

Redrocket · 26-02-2003 1:14pm

bollocks lets all just get twisted and not go to class. i had four pints for breakfast yesterday. then another few for dinner, then some more for supper. t'was fun

eth0_ · 26-02-2003 1:19pm

Rag = Raise A Grand
UC?

Redrocket · 26-02-2003 2:07pm

holy crap i never knew that rag week had such a meaning, dont mean to be ignorant but i know now. doesnt mean im gonna raise anything though. except alcohol levels

Stephen · 26-02-2003 3:06pm

Carlow IT doesn't have a bar to be shut down anyway

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 26-02-2003 3:17pm

indeed

we need our own bar!

we got our own board, now we oughta campaign for a bar!

Redrocket · 26-02-2003 7:58pm

maybe if we had a bar in the college, you might attend more often????

Moonbeam · 27-02-2003 10:50am

There still plans to have a bar build in 2004??

TomTom · 27-02-2003 9:20pm

I finished rag week early this year (today)
I'm burned out and broke.
Monday was the best day ever.

F*ck off and get a job if thats your attitude. We all know the reasons we give the grown ups for Rag Week but really its just an excuse for anarchy. Call yourself a student?:p

TomTom · 27-02-2003 10:27pm

I wonder do any colleges still do the Raise a grand thing?

Stephen · 28-02-2003 12:28pm

Carlow IT students raised a decent amount of money for the south leinster rape crisis centre last year with the sponsored bungee jumping. Weh.

Snowball · 28-02-2003 12:33pm

I did not even know that rag week was suposed to be about rasing money. U think that they would have put something like that in the "Rag Mag". Sham on the editor

Stephen · 28-02-2003 1:25pm

Where the hell is the rag mag this year anyway? I haven't seen any copies of it around the college.

Snowball · 28-02-2003 1:33pm

that small booklet with green writing

ali.g · 28-02-2003 2:05pm

u haven seen ne copies as the copies were exactly "handed out" as per se......but jeasus was this years rag week a load of mongolian camels balls....in fairness nothin went on in the college....at least last year they had bunjee n **** ....this year they had people giving out free kit kat bars in promos for meteor...woo hoo.....and as for d nite life....same ol same ol....do the people who organise reag week have no imagination or minds of their own for gods sake!! fair nuff its a lot to organise but jeasus how many of them r there they syrely would be able to organise somethin decent...anywho rag week sucked big time!!! it was a normal week for me anyway ...drink lots o whiskey!!! i dont have to have a week called "rag week" to do that!!! sorry for the bitchin tho but it had to b said!!!

TomTom · 28-02-2003 5:49pm

they could not have the bunjee jump as the insurance cost was too high. The metor think had nothing to do with rag week as far as i know. RAG week was class if you ask me. You have to get out and make some of your own fun, you can't expect everything to be laid out in front of you. There was a wedding in the canteen which was short (I was the grooms man) but if you followed it down town there was brillant crack in scraggs and nexus.
What do you want the college to do?

pyure · 01-03-2003 6:57pm

rag week was **** cool this year, much better than last year thats for sure.
hope you all went along to the band (blue moose ?) in the tower on thursday, they rocked out big time.

i stuck to my usually drinking nights and habits (sunday, tuesday, thursday, with a party on wednesday), so to alot of peoples suprise - including my own

- i didnt die of liver failure during the week and even went to a few classes.

but it was a great week, so quit yer bad mouthin

cya's in scraggs during the week ;-)

TomTom · 01-03-2003 9:03pm

what sort of music do blue moose play?

I agree, Its like a regular saturday night out everyday, if the masses condider this great, I shake my head in utter disapointment!!

Bicky · 02-03-2003 5:28am

tomtom is right. you got to make your own fun. i had a great weeks craic because instead of waiting for other people to make me enjoy myself i actually went out and did something. Fair enough the college activity was pretty lame but rag week is about drink and scraggs and both of them were fairly kicking all this week.
As for every night last week being like a normal night out i think your talking bull****. if you had gone out you would have felt the party atmosphere which is sadly lacking since the start of the year here in carlow. i was out every night and the only bad one for me (socially) was wed when i was so stoned i didnt even know where the **** i was. still i enjoyed myself.

bluemoose were brilliant. when they broke into rage i nearly got killed in the mosh. we need more of that kinda thing to bring us all together. imagine a world with sodamn insane and bush and that other north korean guy(chong or sometihing???) in the mosh pit. sure no more war. well mabey a few bloody noses and the odd thousand people killed here and there but hey its all in the name of fun right.......

TomTom · 02-03-2003 12:00pm

You stoned again?

ShayK1 · 03-03-2003 9:28am

BlueMoose where deadly!! Absolutely brilliant band!
They play anything from Green Day to Chilli Peppers to Rage Against The Machine!
They really get a crowd goin!!

And i had an excellent week even though i had to work Monday, Friday and Saturday!!

I was out, felt the party atmosphere, better than usual but still nothing spectacular. Its depends what you call a 'normal' night out:D

Rag week is Drag week
