School trips.

Was talking about this with someone today, have some of the best memories. We went to wales in year 5 for an adventure holiday, it was tradition every year that year 5 went for it, but apparently there was foot and mouth everywhere, so every where we were gonna go and wanted to go was closed, so we only stay in the hostel or go to the local village.

Then in year 6, originally the priest used to organise a trip to a theme park, but he'd been arrested and we had a new priest in, who decided to take us to london, we had a lot of **** fast food, wasted money on the traditional stuff you waste money on school trips, like rubbers and highlights. Good times.

Lucky you! We never had as much as a day trip anywhere.

Can you tell us this story as well?

Or was he just one of those boring pedophiles?

We went to Munich in either 3rd or 5th year and got absolutely fcuk faced drunk at the nite club in the hostel we were staying in, good times.

We had a school trip to Belgium. Quite interesting country. Stayed at a convent. They were really cool about giving kids beer, but those cells are a bit weird.

I was 11/12 at the time and my main memory of the trip was nearly getting my head kicked in by one of the 4th year skinheads. At that time I never thought I'd see this day.

Nothing to do with my little fracas, but he was expelled shortly after that

In transition year, we went to Delphi Outdoor centre in Connemara for 3 days. Place was deadly. 5 hour trip in a mini-bus and the teachers we had were sound out. I'll never forget the breakfast in the place. 1 aluminium bowl of corn flakes and 1 slice of toast. Strictly no seconds. We used to break out of the dorms at night and head up onto the roof and smoke and drink smuggled in cider. Best trip ever. If memory serves me correctly, I was the only one out of my group to get the shift.

Thank fcuk facebook wasn't invented when we went on a fourth year trip to the Netherlands. Sex shows, gay bars, casinos, photographing the teachers riding each other, stealing the busdriver's dope. It was a bit mental.

Considering they used to 'waste money on....rubbers' it could very well be just another boring pedo priest.

cloud493 · 03-08-2014 09:02PM

Just a boring pedo priest. He used to take kids up to yorkshire for a week, no contact with home, but I never went.

takamichinoku · 03-08-2014 09:02PM

Every year, my whole school would go to the ploughing match. With nothing better to do, everyone'd spend the day searching for fireworks.

He's no fun.

Went on quite a few trips about the place during school years but the best few were obviously the ones abroad

4th year we were taken to Paris/disneyland, and it was my first trip abroad ever so special enough anyway

5th year we were taken to Barcelona, twas good fun except for hassle between us students that almost ruined the trip but not entirely

6th year was the best though, NY - best city ever imho, havent been back there yet cos of finances etc but its definitly on my list

Woah!!! :eek:

At least they got a trip away I suppose, joke!!!

cloud493 · 03-08-2014 09:28PM

Aye

I used to beg to go, but I was too young for it. Also on that london trip, new priest slept naked in our room (hostel room, 6 eleven year old boys)
That was kinda weird, never questioned it till quite a few years later.

And he was the non pedo priest?

cloud493 · 03-08-2014 09:31PM

No he ended up being dodgy as well :pac: funny old school that was.

Hotfail.com · 03-08-2014 09:32PM

Were there really that many pedo priests back in the day? :pac:

But good trips

When we were in a hotel in Paris a few guys were lighting deodorant sprays to make flame thrower type things. One slightly ADHD guy saw them and started doing it, the ****er was running up and down the hall after people (some of them had nothing to do with us at all, like) for several minutes before the alarm went off. Prick got away with it too.
When the teachers came up to see what was up, someone said that a bunch of girls were sniffing aerosol sprays and got in a ton of ****e for it.

Wasn't there, but when my school went to Barcelona, one bully wanker thought it'd be hilarious to take a dump right outside of one of his victim's doors. The other kid got a ton of abuse for cleaning it up while ****ter was branded a legend.

They went to Munich in my school but i wasnt allowed fecking go! There where a few of us who were on a list that werent allowed. So ya the best i got was a trip into the four courts one day as part of what we where studying :pac:.

takamichinoku · 03-08-2014 09:44PM

Oh! A school near home had a day trip to Longford as their school tour the year of the foot and mouth. Got a bus down to spend a few hours in Tescos and Xtravision.

cloud493 · 03-08-2014 09:46PM

Don't think I ever went anywhere outside the country. Wales was the greatest distance/

LostBoy101 · 03-08-2014 10:14PM

In 4th year I headed to Ghana on a missionary trip and was a real experience in my opinion. Poverty nearly everywhere and the people were great craic but I feel sorry for them as well. It makes me think how the world is cruel to Africa in many ways.

Went to Switzerland. Was meant to be a non smoking and drinking trip but that went out the window when half of us showed up for the bus drunk. We did a good few things but best memories involved drinking 18 bottles between 5 people in 20 mins as we were meant to be back at the hostel, which during our first day there was a group of english girls from a private school.

We also only got about 12 hrs sleep from Thursday until that Monday as the night was the best chance to smoke a pipe out the window and drink cans of the cheapest alcohol we could get in the local corner shop. We were threatened that we would be thrown out every night.

Breakfast was included but we only got it one morning. Missed it every other morning. We also had to take a later tram one morning.

We went missing alot and found an Italian restaurant around the corner which sold beer for less than water. We ate there every night. All in all it was mighty craic.

We went to France in 5th year. Paris and Normandy. Was okay. Was nice to go to Normandy because I'd never been there before, despite living in Brittany during my childhood. I still have a scar about my lip from tripping on the floor when we went to see the Bayeux tapestry.

Paris was meh. At the time I used to go there 3 times a year anyway. Our French teacher got hammered and sat on the waiters lap in place we went for food. Then told us how she was engaged but has another "boyfriend". Of course at 15/16 years of age we thought it was scandalous and very exciting :rolleyes: Loads of people bought dirt cheap drink over there and then realised the drink was putting the bags over the allowance for the plane. So a good few were very drunk on the plane home. But we were quite a well behaved group in fairness!

Anyone else go on these French trips and have to go to that awful restaurant chain "Flunch" every day for dinner?

Our school used to do skiing trips for 2nd year students but then had to cancel them because some girl got pregnant on one of them. She could have got pregnant anywhere :rolleyes: And of course they cancelled them the year before I would have been able to go on one..gutted!

When I was in 6th year they went to Monaco on the school tour, seemed like a kinda strange place to go!

Only went to one school trip. it was to a tourist working farm ****e thing. The most of us were from farming familys. What a load of dung it was.

Cantremember · 03-08-2014 11:03PM

A lot of these trips seem to bring people into close proximity with pedos, involve getting drunk or even travelling drunk, an occasional pregnancy. Do these trips still happen???

I left out earthquake, getting stoned...

What were the feckin teachers at?

You don't have to be going on school trips to get closer to pedos, they are everywhere.

Seems to be a lot more parental supervision on school trips these days, and a lack of priests.

School trips.
