lived in the holylands myself!  i was there the night that the first documentary was shown on spotlight about noisy students misbehaving in and around the holylands.  half an hour after the documentary about 300-400 students gathered on agincourt avenue along with one resident(drunk) who featured in the documentary. he was surrounded by all students and picked ppl out from the crowd he wanted to fight. eggs and flour were thrown at him. police, camera men, residents, sinn fein and 'friends' gathered. 1 resident had a bull terrior type mut and let it loose on a student infront of police and not a thing was done. alex where's your maskey ended up on top of a car roof trying to plead with students to go home and consider residents feelings. he didnt get the respect he was after. was some craic and i was there from start to finish and the residents brought it all on themselves!!

Do you mean didn't?  Take it you give English a miss ......

[Niall Quinn]

Ah Jaysus, it's a hard aul station.

[el_cuervo_fc]

I wonder did Alex pay for the damage he did to the car he jumped on.

[Apple Top]

You seem to have missed a few English classes.

For f**k sake catch a grip, I was talking about us as a spieces not you personally and didn't mean to offend you if your gay.  In simplest terms if Adam and Eve had of been gay we wouldn't of been about, it's an unnatural act, fact.

I was making a point you numpty.

Remember that night well. The most random assembly of people ever. Everone just stood out in Agincourt as if something was going to happen!

Alex maskey thought he was back in the civil rights era and thought an inspiring speech was what needed to sort the crowd out. Big success that was

To be fair the stuff in the original story is completely exaggerated. But i'll add my belief that the sweeping generalisation that its all Tyrone and Armagh wans who have been dazzled by the bright lights and their mammy's aren't there to tell them off, so just go off the rails!

In saying that our house became the first house ever in the Holylands to be dragged up in front to the Vice chancellor. (case of bad timing, with QUB needing to do something after spotlight and we were first in line!)
Made BBC News online and everything!
(everything was in safe hands with the infamous VP of Club and societies representing us in that meeting

That was in f**king Cadogan Steet too! Hardly the epicentre of craic in the Holylands!

Well just as you mentioned it I did hear rumors of a large object, possibly a fire extinguisher being put through a television to 'liven the party up'

Also a fridge being dropped out the window and when it didn't break, it was carted up to the top floor and thrown out again.

...Then again, maybe i imagined it all. As you said

number 6 wellesley was a house full of highly reputable individuals

It doesn't beat 33 Ashley Avenue though. Some crazy shit has went down there

Was there too, but way I rem it was Maskey basically telling the students to fcuk off to bed, and everyone cheering him as though he'd said something great. Said VP should have put the students side across; doesnt he have some ridiculous tagline like 'the man they couldnt silence' for a column? Was quiet enough that night. Was in cadogan for a while too, but had mnanners when I was there. And aye, I reckon its all tyrone and armagh ones too.

In fairness to the VP, he done a right bit of work behind the scenes . Maskey spoke reasonably well that night. Didn't take sides but done his best to defuse the situation while the likes of Alaisdair McDonnell were sound asleep in their beds. Some clown even threw an egg at Maskey so no one should say that the students are all Republicans!

How do you know the rest of the politicians were sound asleep in their beds? Is that not a bit of an assumption? Take AMcD for example (As you have), he's an MP - i.e. he covers more than this one small corner of South Belfast and has other constituents and commitments.
I'm not taking anything away from A.M.'s contribution - just not sure why the need for the assumpion on what others are at.

As for the egg throwing, i wouldn't necessarily conclude that means that the student was not a republican. As you've said, 'some clown' threw the egg. Despite being University students, they're not all the sharpest tools in the box.
