    Actually I was thinking along the lines of Barry too. Didn't notice mistake either. :p

    Oh and this thing is for people aged 8 - 17 so I doubt you could avail. Although people on this board range from bout 14 to 20+...

    i read it and replaced the whose with those, too. i wonder what else i read wrongly without realising it.....


    <<For future reference canard, 'ceux' = 'those'.>>
    or celles. depending on the gender of the object.....so to speak.

    AS I have ALWAYS said: Ctyi is a military camp. That is why they decomission nuclear weapons and feed them to us as 'canteen food'. I have the theory worked out definitively in a number of manners.
    They could be trying to poison us - kill those that would take over from them; implanting chips to control us or simply conducting experiments upon us homo-superior-alpha.
    There is part one. I'll detail the lot after exams.

    I've always prefered Galens theory <unless you are Galen in which case I prefer your older theory> that although it's a military camp, it's one where they attempt to simulate the gassings popular in world war two through subtle usage of our own ... <ahem>... gases. How? Feeding us that hideous slop they called Chicken-fish. ... Although supposedly the quality of food has improved.

    Then where's my rifle? I wasn't given a rifle!

    And ctyi might just be an attempt to gather all the smart young people together in the hope that someone will blow up DCU. To get rid of us all, you see.

    Yes....coz, erm, this way we get to see that there is a whole new style of test for us to attempt.Hmm...
    And I feel the commuter's pain who said that contributed to her not going back. It's not fun running back and forth.....granted I live 10 minutes down the road, but STILL.
    CTYI has, however, not changed me remotely, though I've only been here a week. But I was a manic weirdo then, I'm a manic weirdo now. "'YAY!' 'No GIR, that's a bad thing' YAAAY'":D

    The ctyi that i remember was the incredible experience of masses of insane people congregated in the same general area with hilarious consequences. Remember the orgies (16+ people with their legs in the air) with music and far too much smashing pumpkins (in a good way). I remeber being a commuter, waking up at half six every morning to get here by 8 and not returning home until 11 at night, going to bed and actually enjoying waking up at half 6 in the summer because it meant i could be here sooner. The three weeks felt like years but passed far too quickly. They melded in to one happy fuzzy memory punctuated by joy and particularly memorable events (Eoin in drag!). It was the epitamy of all things fun and wonderful.

    This year i just wanna go home.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭lordsippa


    Who is Vilea and which Eoin? <there were many>

    Yeah... dammit! Neil ask the n00bs to post in the who is who thread first thing. Put it in the charter.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,194 ✭✭✭✭Crash


    Heh, what do i look like, some form of mod??

    /me looks at side panel

    OH SWEET JESUS HOW'D THAT HAPPEN?!?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭lordsippa


    Well Neil, when a mammy and a daddy are in love there can be so much love that a new person is made...

    Alternatively Fio can pass her modship over to some miscellaneous tramp on the street.

    Let's see which one applies. :p

    :ninja:

    not to be a wanker or anything, but Quiggers (Cormac Quigley / sOl) woulda been better. :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭lordsippa


    Not to... well ... ok to be quite the w4nker, NO! NO! NO! Neil is perfect mod material (and he's oh so dreamy)... Cormac would... well I'd be 12 clicked by now cause of the fuss i'd have kicked up. Not that I don't like cormac but I think the c). part of why neil was made mod should apply to him too <neil knows what i mean> :p

    :ninja:

    incidentally... CORMAC SWALLOWS!

    (i love ya really baby)

    Funny story, actually. Remember the day you woke up, and those dogs were licking your face...

    I disagree. Cormac manages muppetry in ways others can only dream. I reckon Neil was the best man for the job, but I am vaguely regretting there is a job at all...

    Incidentally, the people youve mentioned in brackets are mutually exclusive.

  • Registered Users Posts: 11,194 ✭✭✭✭Crash


    Actually, could you imagine this forum if there was NEVER a mod??

    it would almost be comparable to the Spam of 2001 s1......ah memories :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭lordsippa


    Adam created a monster. One he should be 12 clicked for. But the admins are nice and forgiving creatures (but not to all you stupid muppets who just arrive here looking to spam this board out of the waters) so he survives. He's even been able to escape the horror that is modding CTYI. Lucky git.


  • Registered Users Posts: 389 ✭✭Aliminator

    you're damn right. he told me he was sOl. flaming muppet. i'd burn him if he wasn't in france/spain.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭lordsippa


    Thankfully the sun will burn him for us.. Or it will if it knows what's good for it anyway... :ninja:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,155 ✭✭✭SOL


    No, I'm just getting a wonderful farmers tan, and yes I am SOL, our good friend Macdara just decided to test our powers of observation.

    Sorry if I'm just barging into a conversation here, but it's me,Stephen, the guy with the accordion from the last 3 session 2's! I'm only after registering with boards. I found this site with the help of Ed, and I'm not sure who anyone really is here, but I've seen Macdaragh's name pop up a few times, and who doesn't know him?

    At ctyi firedrills are very frequent, so that we get plenty of excercise -economists all pray.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 46 PurplePainter

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 69 ✭✭malecO


    Yeah I remember that fire drill in the night. Everyone was in pyjamas except for a few people (me included).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10 Awaywthdfaeries


    Ctyi is aquiring nicknames (nerddom has nothing to do with spelling)
    eg teapot & bongo boy
    ne1 wanna offer nemore :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 neva b complete


    the only way i can explain ctyi is that its probably the only place on earth(other then a metallica concert) where the majority of people will feel my friends pain when i say he was forced to listen to a busted cd for TWO hours hes traumatised for life


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,363 ✭✭✭Mystic Fibrosis


    I have a feeling you could get Stockholm Syndrome from that......

  • Registered Users Posts: 69 ✭✭vikki


    it has to be said ctyi cant be explained till you go there and experience the nightly gatherings in the quads, the R.A's shouting at you to go to bed--turn off your lights etcetra, the early mornings on the first few days, the cursing when it rains, oh and i musnt forget the horiffic canteen food but we all seem to survive regardless... quite amazing actually!!! But its the best three weeks you could ever have in Ireland (often referred to as "the puddle") mind you the "dressing gowns on thursday" tradition would make you wonder...

    *cough*mental problems *cough*

    but its a great laugh and where else would you see such crazy clothes???

    if you havnt gone... GO!!!
    if you have gone... GO AGAIN!!!
    and if you are too old... HA!!! (cos im not!!!)

    if the world was a cookie
    friends would be the chocolate chips!!!

    No-one can be told what CTYI is..... you have to see it for yourself

    [screen changes to Jack dodging bullets being fired by...oh i dont know... Alim]



    Seriously though, CTYI is a chance for all those people in the world who find their intelligence or mild/extreme abnormalities(mental) hinder their social progress

    It's also a worthwhile learning experience but the high point for most people (me included) is the social side
