Tesco
dis is a pic of tesco nd johnstons court. my mam calls it quinnsworth, bt i hav no idea what shes on about coz it says tesco nd shes a stupid bitch, lol. evry day at lunch me nd the lads wud go dwn to tesco nd gt lunch bt we dnt now cuz dermott got caut nicking a pack of tayto nd a crunchy and it was pure funny becuz his mam nd dad flipped out wen tesco told them about it nd he came into skool wit a black eye nd i bet his mam was like “itz a feckin disgrace i taut u better dan to rob from quinnsworth”. johnstons court iz pure class aswell coz der r loads of shops like HMV nd eurogiant nd dey sell condoms wit JLS writen on dem nd i cnt wait to use em on a pure posh one from strandhill road.
The Rugby Club
dis is a pic of da rugby club nd it is pure class coz nt onli do dey hav rugby matches on but dey also hav discos wit absolut rides of girls nd u can get deh shift der. i went der on junior cert result night nd b4 we wnt to the rugby i had a a whole 2 ltr bottle of devils bit nd derek’s dad let us drink in his house cos he is divorced nd reli cool about dis sorta thing. i also like da rugby cos the walls sweat nd i was gettin stuck into this bird nd her brother came over nd tried to fite me and i knocked him out wit a few slaps but no one saw it. swear on me mothers grave it happnd.
Pure
dis is pure nd it is pure class lol. it iz my fav nightclub cos it iz ez to gt in as long as u hav jeans nd a mustashe. i managed to gt in aftr i gt my junior cert results nd da bouncer sed ‘u hav ID?’ nd i was like ‘eeeh no’ nd we laffed nd he let me and de boys in. its way better dan da rugby coz u can buy booze der nd the music is pure class. 1 time i saw a lad get head in da seating area nd i noticed it waz dermotts sister nd he was pure scarlet when da pics made it onto facebook. it is what id imagin it wud be like in ibiza, new york or mullingar.
Four Lanterns
dis is 4 lights nd it is da best chipper in ireland!!!! one nite we were drinkin in da bishops garden until 10 o clock nd dave had a naggin dat his older bro got him in da shops nd afterwards he was so pissed he threw up a whole kebab chip tray on da counter and called da girl workin the tills a slut. it was pure funny, not a word of a lie. the toilets are also class if u want somewere private to roll joints
Globe House
dis is globe house nd its where all da foreigners live. da lads call it congo hill but i never asked why. da ppl livin der are from really shitty places like nigeria, somalia, or cavan. sumtimes dey complain about da conditions dey r livin in nd i tink its unfair cos dey shud be use to it, lol. da mercy college is beside it nd it is a girls skool nd dey r usually angry cos dey hav to go to skool wit foreigners, lololololololol
Sligo Rovers
dis is sligo rovers nd dey r my fav team aside from celtic. i prefer dem to sligo gaa team cos dey arn’t shit lolololololol. i went to my first rovers match wen i was 10 nd dey were playin against shamrock rovers nd da place was full ov dublin wankers nd dis dublin fella trid to bring me to his van to show me puppies but my dad was a dry shite and pulled me away.
i hope dat dis collection of fotos makes u appreciate sligo nd helps me pass my CSPE project. if u dnt like it u can meet me at da peace park nd we’ll sort it out der.
