The Rewards of Your Debs Night

Didn't go to mine either, it was 3 months after graduating. After having escaped from that shower why on earth would I willingly go back.

You're describing your school and college people-you-hung-out-with as "mobs". Looks like you had to start slumming it because your betters didn't like you.

Excuse me....my "betters"?

I just found the college crowd too staid and boring. I was just turned 18, was getting fairly heavy into my raves and all by that point, whereas most people in college seemed more content with 2 euro vodka night in Tramco or Barcode listening to whatever poppy garbage was in the charts, or a few pints down in Whelans listening to whatever Paddy Casey/ The Frames clones happened to be playing that night. Most of the proper sessioners and good looking birds had dropped out of my class or ceased coming in by Christmas, so yeah it was pretty boring. People seem to talik up college as being all about atrociously heavy drinking, rampant drug use and scoring. When all the sessioners and hot birds drop out it makes this lifestyle somewhat incompatible with reality. My mates college mind, I used to buzz down to his and it would be carry on that Shaun Ryder would be prudish about, but my dump....meh.

Glad I left mind, if I had persued it to graduation Id have been coming out skint just as the economy went tits up. Instead I got a half decent job and had a nice amount of dosh to bail out of the sinking ship and set myself up in Australia

Moral of the story kids, never listen to your mother.

It doesn't in the slightest IMO. "Mob" (no plural) was just being used as a turn of phrase.

Who are one's "betters" in school?

Didn't bother with my own debs, as it cost 125€ a ticket of something mad, and was in the Nuremore in Monaghan. Pfft, feck that.

Did however go to two other debses. In one of them, the girl I was with asked me to not drink to much as she didn't want to have to haul a drunken oaf around. Crap night. Didn't help that I didn't know anyone there.

Second debs involved getting blind drunk and tearing my suit jacket somehow. We then went to Home in Balbriggan, and aimlessly wandered until the morning bus so we could get back to yer wans house in Malahide so I could pick up my stuff from her house and go home. Better night, still not amazing by any stretch, you wouldn't miss out on a lot on not going. Yer wan was an annoying prat and kept saying stupid crap, though, was a very annoying person.

FinnLizzy · 15-01-2012 03:53AM

I wen't with my OH for both mine and her's so there wasn't much difference between that and any other night out with her. Only difference was the price of the clothes being thrown on the floor.

I enjoyed my grad, but I can see why people wouldn't want to go. The cliquish nature of the grad committee and the amount of people that took it seriously. My mum dropped us off and we blended into the crowd as we watched a load of limos of knacker proportions roll in with lads who were bringing girls that wouldn't come close to putting out.

'He wants the ride and she wants a baby'

and so on...

Men may always want the one thing, but at least they are consistent. And easy to please!

I laughed a lot at that. Very good. Thanks!

didn't go to mine
the cost was unreal, and i went to a different school for 6th year while all my old friends were in 5th year - and everyone at the new place went to their old schools' debs instead
tbh i wasn't bothered, didn't sound like i was missing much

Explosions in the Sky · 15-01-2012 01:03PM

I had been working night shifts prior to my debs, finished work at 8am after a really long night, didn't get to sleep till atleast 9 am. Literally only got about 4 hours sleep as I had to pick up a tie and other debs related stuff. By 9 o clock I was fit for sleep and the pints didn't help, my debs story

These things are definitely overrated

stovelid · 15-01-2012 01:47PM

I didn't bother going to my debs.

Like all normal people.

I made good friends at college.

Problem is, almost everyone else in my class in secondary school didn't seem to give a toss about anyone else either. The class I was in sundered completely for some reason. Sixth year had far too much drama for my liking. Some of these people still hold deep grudges against each other today ffs. All over trivial stuff that happened years ago and should be forgotten.

You're describing your school and college people-you-hung-out-with as "mobs". Looks like you had to start slumming it because your betters didn't like you. Not a reason to be smug.

Wow, you really sound like a jerk in that post.

Anyway, been to three debs, didnt get off with any of em! :pac:

OldmanMondeo · 15-01-2012 03:37PM

Went to 3 debs, shagged on the first one, even though I was plastered, then agains, I think the little lad went diving, 2nd one went with one girl, left with another, no shag, went for the other cause I though I would be in with a chance. 3rd debs, got locked and fell asleep in the ladies.

Wasn't going to go to my own, but did in the end cause the then gf wanted to. Should have dumped here and saved me a load of hassle and money...

Did you ever consider writing romantic stories for Mills and Boon?

Went to my debs, was a pretty crap night all around.

Alter-Ego · 15-01-2012 05:01PM

Been to three debs so far. All three were a bit of fun. Only got the ride after the second one. I was way too tired after the other two to be laying pipe.

xclw · 15-01-2012 05:05PM

thought my grad/debs was right craic, except the hotel wouldn't serve tequila, sambucca, jager bombs, silver bullet, supermans yano the popular shots.
went around carrying a helium balloon for half the night..
bouncers wouldn't let me get up on the stage either

it is a great night but they're way too expensive, would have had just as good of a night if everyone went to the usual night club. like tickets, dress, shoes, hair, tan, make up, bag, jewellary adds up to bout €500 and then spending money on the night too. for one night is way too much

OneArt · 15-01-2012 05:15PM

I never went to mine because I didn't want to pay 200+ to hang out with people I don't like.

CB19Kevo · 15-01-2012 06:15PM

My debs night was okay but the girl i went with was some random chick who liked her drink a bit too much,
i only drank cider and not much of it up until the debs so i was not too impressed with her downing vodka on the bus.
I barely talked to her and was likely a bit rude but just felt a bit awkward.
anyway she ended up with her head in the meal - pissed out of her mind and had her friends looking after her all night,i dropped in now and again to check on her but just drank away and had the craic with the lads for the rest of the night. Cant remember where the girl i took ended up...:eek:

Great night:D Maybe not for the girl though.

(i have changed since then :rolleyes:)

Eve_Dublin · 15-01-2012 06:36PM

A total blur.

The guy I went with proclaimed his undying love for me but I told him not to be stupid as he was gay. He denied it (because I don't think he knew it himself at that stage). He's since come out and we have a good laugh about that now.

I remember spending most of the night sitting on the sinks in the toilet talking to a bunch of girls smoking and drinking. No ride, no kiss...don't think I was looking for it. I fancied older fellas at that stage and thought all the lads in my year were "immature".

McDonalds in the morning. Home on the train. Twas a pretty average night out actually but in a nicer dress.

Mills and boner maybe?

EDIT: make that Mills and BONERLESS....

JohnMearsheimer · 15-01-2012 07:03PM

I brought a girl I really fancied at the time to mine and she went off with some other fella at the end of the night. I started avoiding her after that but bumped into her around college and nights out the odd time. One night a few years ago I ran into her in the pub, I was home from the UK for Christmas. She was pretty upset with me and was crying because I never told her I was leaving the country. It was really weird.

Norma_Desmond · 15-01-2012 07:18PM

My debs was at a hotel in Enfield (I think) where the food was sooo terrible, they put baking soda on the desert instead of icing sugar!!! But besides the food it was a great night, it did make some people ill so maybe it wasn't such a great night for them, but I had fun so that's all that matters!

Big Nasty · 15-01-2012 07:47PM

Didn't get the rattle on my debs night but ended up doing the same chick years later - damn she was good! :eek:

guitarzero · 15-01-2012 07:57PM

I was in doubt about 2 days before but I ended up going just for my GF. I hated my class and school and thought at least I'll put a bit of glam on the closure. Christ, I'll never get around how much I hated school :eek:.

Cheers. An aside by the way, when I went to click D4 in the language selection box it kept suggesting this other language called "kuntspeak". Funny that.

Carter P Fly · 15-01-2012 08:50PM

Didn't go to my debs despite being on the organising committee cos my date, a friend of mine,cancelled the night before because the guy she was seeing had a paranoid meltdown (In fairness he was right to be paranoid, I had every intention of nailing her every which was from Sunday likes we were re-enacting the crucifixion or something).
Spent the night on acid in Dublin instead.

Carverkid · 15-01-2012 09:18PM

Been to one so far. Went surfing beforehand and Mam ran down the beach roaring that I was going to be late at the dates house. Long story short I thought it would be a clever idea to turn up at her door with chocolates and all dressed in my wetsuit! Cue massive freak out in which I was trying to defend myself in saying this is what the word 'suit' means to me. I had my tux in the car still didn't get talked to for a while! As for the ride. . .no.
