Drove through donnybrook earlier and could have sworn I saw a small fat fella, a tall skinny fella, and a ginger pervert just standing around at the petrol station opposite the rugby ground. Now it all makes sense…
what did ye all do when ye got your junior cert results lads…remember watching leeds stuff newcastle 3-0 and then going to an under age disco in what was then docks…
Think I went to a disco in a local parish, probably Windgap or something. Would have had 3 pints and be drunk as a Lord. At least I was young then, now I get drunk on 3 pints and have no excuses.
Went down town to the 147 Club in Wexford town with a bunch of lads at lunchtime and played snooker for a few hours. Then bought the new Oasis album Be Here Now on the way home as it was just out - I shit you not! Most people were going to some supervised underage disco with a mineral bar in town later that evening but one of the other lads had a free gaff so we decided to drink in his house. Appendage and Jugs will remember him as the guy who walked like a penguin and who was shit at headers and volleys as a result of his weirdly pointing feet. This lad lived up in Ferrycarrig just outside Wexford town and we were playing pool and drinking cans in his gaff but then the beer ran out. So we strolled down to The Oak Tavern (which has sadly now burnt down) and got some take-out - they didn’t have any issues serving 15 year-olds and we were then sitting up in Ferrycarrig Castle overlooking the Slaney getting pissed when we were disturbed by Gardai who must have noticed the 7 or 8 of us messing around as they drove by. They took our names and addresses and I got into trouble because Bandage Senior was a cop and one of the cops who disturbed us was his friend. Silly pigs.
Fook me, definately maybe was released when I was doing the leaving, you make me feel old bandage.
I had been caught drinking a few weeks before my JC results so my mother left me out only as a result of much pleading and promising. It was my first time ever in the local nightclub that wasnt a teenage alcohol free disco
As a safety measure my mother only gave me 10 pounds, it was 5 to get in so I just had to rob drink for the night, not much changed til I started working now that I come to think of it!
Went to Dun Mhuire in Wexford where there was a big underage disco on. Chumbawumba - Tubthumping was played about 12 times. I asked a mate to ask a bird if she’d shift me. She said no. I asked the same mate to ask another bird if she’d shift me. She said no. I asked…you get the picture. I should have let a different mate do the asking.
Parents wouldnt let me out on the Wednesday night and told me I had to wait till the Saturday. Went out that night and had a bottle or 2 I think. Didnt really start drinking till the summer between 5th and 6th year so wasn’t all that bothered.
