    Piss up (Field or Pub)
    I had a chemistry lab in college the night of my 18th. :( They rescheduled it so we wouldn't have to do it the last Friday of term before Christmas and made us do it a few nights earlier instead. By the time I was finished, I was too tired to bother going out.

    Went for a meal with my family a few nights later.

    I...don't know. Actually I don't think I did anything. I never really do anything for my birthday. Probably went for a meal or something with my family. You'd think I'd remember seeing as it was only 3 years ago!

    I was fairly broke ass at the time, but also reasonably inventive, so I blagged a night of freebies...

    It started with the Carlton Cinema in Dublin... they were showing a Reservoir Dogs retrospective, so I rang the manager & told him that as the editor of the new college magazine, I would like to give away 10 free tickets to coincide with an interview I was doing with Steve Buschemi, which would also promote his cinema.

    He agreed & sent me 10 tickets. So myself & 9 friends went to see the film armed with naggins of spirits to add to the cokes.

    Of course, I was never an editor of a student magazine & never interviewed Steve Buschemi. As far as I remember, the college didn't even have a magazine.

    After that we headed to Club USI - the student bar & got a load of free booze & a birthday cake courtesy of the fact that I had told them that I - as the Entertainments Officer for my college - was running a birthday competiton for 10 students for a freebie birthday bash for the student with the most nominations for the month.

    They never checked to see if it was true or even if I was involved with the students union, which of course, I wasn't.

    Well, I kinda was at one time, but only for a brief spell when I ordered an extra 200 tickets for the Freshers Ball from the printers, hawked them around the college at half price & pocketed the cash.

    Ah, to be 18 again... such a youthful, bright eyed & naive time.

    :D

    I think I wrote three english essays with my stereo up to the last, to try and ignore the world and its existence (and the leaving cert).

    On my 18th birthday, I was studying for my first year exams in UCD while drinking a budvar and reading an environmental economics book... Every birthday for my three years there was spent doing something like that (I hate myself).:pac:

    I spent mine doing my Leaving Cert English Paper 1, back in 1988. Absolutely horrible, even though I came home to find I got a few cards with money in them!

    Celebrated it in a dodgy (and apparently illegal) transvestite bar in Minsk. Got wrecked on $2 bottles of champagne and got chased by the police.

    Night to remember tbf.
