I'm not bad at maths or anything, but dear god, the thoughts of failing when I dont even need HL...but the thoughts of missing out on an easy paper with 25 points! And the thoughts of having to count history :L And David I just did 3 aural papers - gotta love having homework over the Easter which doesnt relate to the oral. :P

Like in the "Bua sa chomórtas díospóireactha." Why did the judge go out with the team for burgers after?! In the "Timpiste," you can clearly see the woman wearing a white top in the 2nd picture. Then in the 4th picture it's a black top and white trousers. And then in the 5th picture it's a black top and a white skirt! She clearly doesn't care about the poor man if she has time to change her clothes so often. Selfish bitch! ...And that's why I'm failing my Irish oral

I would have expected that if you could describe the pictures both coherently and accurately you'd be in line for full marks but not according to my mock oral. Nope, fluency isn't enough, fancy learned off Irish is the big deal now. Wánkers.

Eathrin wrote: » No and I kinda regret it now because they were doing a small bit of touring there for Little Sparks. As far as Irish bands go I absolutely love listening to Republic of Loose. Loads of others like The Coronas, Miracle Bell, Adebisi Shank, Bell X1, The Blizzards, Two Door Cinema Club etc etc. I don't limit myself to Irish Indie though. Love bands like Phoenix and Foster the People too.

They're actually doing a gig in the Button Factory again on May 18th along with The Minutes and We Cut Corners. Tickets are free but you have to win them, you apply for them at jdroots.ie. (Feel a bit like I'm advertising them ) Two Door Cinema Club and Bell X1 are pretty good, not big into The Coronas or The Bilzzards and I've never actually listened to Adebisi Shank or Miracle Bell despite hearing the names bandied about a good bit. Ever listened to a band called Codes?
Eathrin wrote: » So all of the tickets are to be won? Can't just turn upon the night? Sounds good anyway. I've never heard of the Codes before, any good? Adebisi Shank are an amazing instrumental rock band, Miracle Bell play electronic/indie type music, band looks like splitting up though now after one good album.

I think Little Green Cars are class too, no one seems to have heard of them though. Favourite Irish band of all time though, has to be Heathers. New album out very soon, heard the single last week and love it as much as the stuff on their first album!
