    By now I am assuming you've all recieved your letters regarding the talks. They were very clever to include terms such as Nevermores and Reunion, otherwise they wouldn't have a chance.
    So, my little love turtles, I'll go if others are going...

    Crime? Talk? Letter? Reunion? Nevermore? Question Mark?

    What?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    CTYI are organising an official reunion for all nevermores where they give us an oppurtunity(sp?) to listen to lectures about crime in ireland


  • Registered Users Posts: 175 ✭✭odranCN


    not just nevermores... us all even us miscrient youths... go team.... i assume ye'r all goin like meself


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 122 ✭✭EvilPixieOne


    I think it's just a way for them to make money really, may as well go though as it's just a fiver. They sent a letter to the parents aswell looking for donations


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 407 ✭✭Love


    I'd say they have to pay the speakers so they're probably barely covering their costs - €5 isn't much. Anyone who went in 2004 or 2005 can go. DCU, December 3rd, 1-5pm.

    How odd. I didn't receive a letter about this.

    May go anyway, just because I have a pathetic attachment to DCU.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 354 ✭✭RefulgentGnomon


    Guest speakers include RTE Crime Correspondent Paul Reynolds who wrote the book 'Sex in the City' regarding prostitution in Dublin and also King Scum regarding the heroin trade in Ireland.
    I'll prolly go if others decide to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,858 ✭✭✭Undergod


    Never heard about it. It may happen. If I will it to be so... but orchestral duties may prove a hindrance.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 400 ✭✭TalkISCheap


    I have a dinner date with the Chief Scout. *fumes*




    Don't ask. Really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 950 ✭✭✭Feral Mutant


    Hmmm, I may go if anyone I know goes.

    Haven't got a letter, but may go.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    I'd love to go but I have drama that day and so won't make it unless by some miraculous occurence they cancel it for that day. It looks very fun though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 620 ✭✭✭Mr.D.Leprachaun


    I'll be there for sure. Please don't leave me sitting alone in the Larkin.


  • Registered Users Posts: 448 ✭✭Jack Lynch


    I'm going. Not that i expect that to affect anyone's descision. They should allow more people to go, rather then limit it to '04/'05


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 652 ✭✭✭Jim_Are_Great


    I will be there. unless I die. Or the world ends.

    *awaits flocking crowds*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    How will they tell if you've been there in 04/05?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 511 ✭✭✭LiamD


    I reckon they'd probably just check the roll call.


  • Registered Users Posts: 588 ✭✭✭JenLorigan


    They probably only sent letters to those people. I are going \o/

    And sure sneak in your friends while you're at it...;)
    Say it will be interesting-and DCU campus certainly brings back memories!
    Shall be there!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 407 ✭✭Love


    Shall be there if I'm free.

    Hold on, let me check my busy schedule.

    *looks at dusty book full of empty pages* ... *SAD.*

    Yeah, I'll be there... somehow


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 46 PearofAnguish


    05' as in THIS 05'? You can imagine my head slowmotion swiveling towards the letterbox. If I manage to overcome my still patheticly dibilitating fear of anyone with a position of authority in DCU I'll show up anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Actually I'm sure they can live wihtout me being at drama for one week....I may actually be there :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 588 ✭✭✭JenLorigan


    Yay! Lizzage!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 566 ✭✭✭elephamt king


    i shall be in attendance.
    omg!!!!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,851 ✭✭✭PurpleFistMixer


    I got my letter today.

    I feel so accepted.


  • Registered Users Posts: 132 ✭✭Un-Big


    Letterage?? *rush downstairs* No letters for Jeans =( Ah well if there's people there I'm sure to pop up in someones pants *shrug*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 407 ✭✭Love


    Think you have to email them to let them know you is goingk...

    I see. Overcoming this perfectly rational fear of Dublin, are you? They're likely to be pretty full with just '04/'05, so they couldn't really invite more. Remember, staff are invited too. Except a certain brother of mine, who has "no interest in the subject", apparently.
    Note: Actually, he was invited, he's just not going.
    And the letter shows that they are a little ignorant of our doings:
    "We have decided to organise ... a sort of reunion." I.e.: Rejoice children! We can bring you together! Still, I suppose there's no reason for them to know about our reunions.

    I didn't get a letter! This is discrimination against the '03 nevermores, well I'm going to say it is anyway even though someone will probably point out that they had to draw the line somewhere *sigh*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 58 ✭✭Rainbow Girl


    It looks to be pretty good. I've been trying to e-mail them to accept, but they haven't been going through-- anyone else having the same trouble? The inbox's probably full, I s'pose. Back to mine after! (I reckon we could fit 600 people in my house, everyone just suck in your bellies and squeeze!)

    I believe I just did. *offers sympathy*


  • Registered Users Posts: 132 ✭✭Un-Big


    Hang on hang on hang on. Is this just for 04 and 05 Nevermores? Or just anyone who went in 04 or 05?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 620 ✭✭✭Mr.D.Leprachaun


    I got one so non-nevermores are invited.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Oh well now it appears I cannot go. I'm in Belfast that weekend *sad*


    :v::wakka::v:

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 337 ✭✭odhran


    i don't live @ home so i don't know if i got it or not.... either way i dunno if i could be bothered going, sounds like far too much effort


  • Registered Users Posts: 252 ✭✭meeka

    My physics class went to DCU on Wednesday for the science week thingy. *Sighs* Ah the nostalgia. I'm definitely gonna try and go on Dec 3rd.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    Was there for Eirtakon at the weekend....first time I've ever been on thenm campus after dark. It was strange...


  • Registered Users Posts: 132 ✭✭Un-Big


    w00t, got letter. how come it takes an extra three days to get the same letter quarter of a mile down the road anyway? :confused: Ah well, yay, future attendance!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 511 ✭✭✭LiamD


    Has anyone else seen How Many Miles to Babylon in the Helix?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 950 ✭✭✭Feral Mutant


    My english class are going to see it on Wednesday. I hated the book and am not looking forward to the play.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    I'd like to see How Many Miles to Babylon.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 511 ✭✭✭LiamD


    It's not the best but not as bad as King Lear was in the SFX lat year.Alec is clearly gay though which would fit in with the 'undertone' of the book.There's a good few familiar faces from RTE TV in it.Deter from Killinascully is.


  • Registered Users Posts: 448 ✭✭Jack Lynch


    I got one so non-nevermores are invited.

    Rub it in, why dont you!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 620 ✭✭✭Mr.D.Leprachaun


    Ok!:D *rubs it in* Nevermore! Nevermore!


    I say this all in jest and merry spirits of course.
