Rag Week!

septicated mutant · 24-02-2011 05:53PM #1

This week in Carlow has been a utter disgrace. I am a local resident, and I live in Southern Gardens. I realise that this is an estate heavily populated by students. However, the scene that my husband and I and my young family were subjected to this week, was truly horrendous! Young drunken louts streaking through the estate, their crown jewels on displace for all this see. This well endowed young man proceeded to wave his private parts in my front window as my kids looked on. A pathetic act, enter my garden and with no dignity performing an act that no young child nor adult should be forced to endure.

This is just a sample of the on-goings that I witnessed to date during the week. I can only imagine what is to come this evening, already there are signs of what is to come this evening in Southern Gds. Consequently, I would raise the issue that the college should consider the future Rag week!

Furthermore, Carlow IT should think long and hard about the conduct of it's students. Students seem to have very little focus on their undertaken courses and I would ponder the issue whether the courses that are being provided have any actual substance and end goal to them.

This rant is long overdue as I have for the past 3 yrs been exposed to these truly unnecessary and horrific occurrences! The guards have already been notified of my displeasure and will hopefully deal with the possible disturbances that may lie ahead this evening.

Shame on you Carlow IT and your students, if you can call yourselves that!

Very similar to crap being bandied about on the useless courses thread that was started last week

You are entitled to your opinion however the charitable cause who benefit from the significant income of these week would suffer dramatically, although drunken behaviour can be excessive the local people of carlow are generally the ones causing the issues.

I sniff a troll though

Why didnt you ask him in? Your full of **** i live in southern gardens and its been a very quiet week. Another troll

My kids and husband were in the house, timing was not suitable. Do not make assumptions Player, youknow what they do...

I would ask the OP what is the nature of his business in Carlow?

From here we can debate the issue that has insensed me soooo much. Making assumptions....facts must be calibrated and gathered prior to doing so.

Your the OP!

If you want to debate the issue thats no problem, where abouts in southern garden do you live, why havent you reported this to the residents association?

Im a member of the resident association and this is the least disruptive RAG week in a long time. The college needs to be commended for engaging with us this year.

I am also a member of the residents association. I live <snip>

ShayK1 · 24-02-2011 08:12PM

Didn't I ban you already? Or was that somebody else?
Its such a small town I can't always remember.

Please take up your issue with Carlow Garda Station or IT Carlow Students Union.
www.Boards.ie can't help you on this one I'm afraid.

Don't know about Southern Gardens but the town late at night and early mornings a disgrace.Monday night, Tuesday morning particularly bad and now the Rag Ball tonight. Rubbish bins emptied on Dublin St this morning and how is moving traffic cones and bollards so funny.

What about our recession, where do they get all the money to drink.

As for the money raised for Charity, what about the cost of the clean up, Gardai and health service costs. Who pays for that oh ya of course the tax payers.

Students cope on you are not funny when drunk in the early hours of the morning.

Spot on Norburren! Its a bloody disgrace!

Ok I'll do something I rarely do: feed the troll.

How dare you accuse every single student of acting the same way of some who you probably think tarnish the whole of Carlow. I live close to Southern Gardens, I'm a student in the IT too, and have always tried my best to live and study in a proper way...and most people I know there would be the same, and have never acted like you describe in that first post. You cannot tar everyone of us with the same brush, quite simply because you do not know us.

The IT's faculty are always concerned about the conduct of it's students, and of the impact that this might have on local residents. We DO realise that not every house around the college is for students, so take that into account when you get that brush back out.

If you have an issue with the behaviour of some students, try the guards, the security that patrol around SG, residents association or even the IT itself.

royston_vasey · 25-02-2011 11:22AM

"Your full of crap i live in southern gardens and its been a very quiet week. Another troll".

If this individual lives in Southern Gardens then he/she will be fully aware of the behaviour that occurred Sunday and Monday night. I'm sure that the Gardai and the private security firm patrolling the estate - paid for by a couple of landlords - would also dispute your contention; c.60 anti-social orders handed out on Monday night serves to prove my point.

Of course maybe it the residents who are "full of crap" assuming they are entitled to peaceful living in their house: I was personally informed on Sunday night that I should expect this behaviour because of where I live and also the fact that it was ragweek! This proves the mentality that exists amongst students with regards to ragweek and the abject failure of the IT and students union to re-brand it as Raise And Give week.

Just a little tip to the guys in the students union and the IT - instead of lecturing on change management how about practising it and you could start with changing the culture that exists within your environment.

I live in southern gardens and thought it was a pretty quiet week, but then I didn't see any nudity. I have seen some broken bottles about but thats kind of par for the course in any estate with plenty of students. I thought the gardi did well enough, doing runs through every few hours.

In fairness the streaking incident occurred prior to ragweek and was dealt with by the gardai.

If you walked the estate you would have seen broken glass, discarded bottles and can as well as litter discarded all over the estate. For you to view this as acceptable speaks volumes as to the disregard you have for the area and also for the residents within the estate - you are aware littering is not acceptable in a civilised society and carries a mandatory fine? It is also a sad reflection upon the induction process carried out by the IT and the students union.

For your information, you should have been presented with a Charter of Behaviour - from your landlord -prepared by the residents association that details the forms of behaviour that are deemed unacceptable within the estate.

Lukekul · 25-02-2011 04:12PM

Thank you for telling me what i think is acceptable, I am very grateful.

25-02-2011 04:15PM

The one week during the year when every student go's out and has a good time and you call them wasters?... What a joke, what do you expect? Every college has a rag week, just put up with it.

Oh and the IT won't be able to cancel Rag Week. Good luck to you.

Can you please highlight for me where I have termed students as wasters?

In respect to your second point, the purpose of ragweek is to raise monies for charitable causes, it is not suppose to be a week whereby students have carte blanche to get inebriated and behave irresponsibly.

Why would you be grateful if you already acknowledge that it is acceptable, it's only confirming your intrinsic beliefs.

I think you were trying to be smart and if so it is not me telling you how to behave it's the law. I think you will also find that the IT's student charter advises you on how to behave in a sociable manner. This world is just a great big Nazi-fest.

I doubt your credentials as I know for a fact that you can't be in the residents association and the residents association of Southern Gardens in no way will be commending the IT following the incidents that have occurred this week; the residents association are in fact pursuing an opposing course of action.

Your statements are fabricated and I would thank you not to be making statements on behalf of an association that you have absolutely no connection with.

I trust you will now also withdrawn your "troll" remarks directed at the OP.

26-02-2011 01:15PM

You didn't even create the thread m8.

Why u trolling?

royston_vasey · 26-02-2011 04:11PM

As a resident of Southern Gardens I am not going to permit lies to be spread on here by somebody masquerading as a fellow resident, hence I'm not a troll and I have already indicated who the troll is.

Now that I have addressed your point will you please answer the question I posed to you yesterday or are you going to continue trying to deflect attention from it?

Da Bounca · 26-02-2011 09:22PM

All of this over a few streakers. Lighten up.

27-02-2011 02:23AM

I my friend said the OP called students wasters. Go to college and learn to read.

No the OP hasn't referred to students as wasters and it was your contention that I used the term. I suggest that you pay heed to your own advice
