    Posted: 15-May-2006 at 11:29

Why was it we girls used to spend so much time in those grotty toilets?!!! Of course, it was a refuge during the slow set, when you knew some ug was going to ask you up so that he could swallow your entire head (shudder).

It was also of course pretty handy for hiding from the bouncers if you were a bit, uhm, worse for wear. Unless of course it was raided which was often enough.

It was also a scene of much desperation when you really needed the loo - some even used to try and convince those in front they were more entitled as they were pregnant - all 7 stone of them. We were wise to their ways though

It was also the scene of girls badly applying white makeup and purple lips - we could have done with a helping hand from Ruby & Millie!  Very much a trial and error process. It was particularly difficult if a Dolly Mixture (complete with left over shampoo) or a couple of cans of ritz had been consumed in Saint Annes park!!

Hi Frog Princess welcome aboard  Know what you mean about the loos we also used to use them to consume any alcohol we managed to sneak in and also to talk about the "boys" who were our particular favourites that week

[QUOTE=frog princess]

Hi FP,

Welcome on board.

I remember we used to hang out outside the girls loo in the "old" Grove.

Usually a good vantage point for spying on possible female targets 
May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

I remember one particular instance being in the loo with about 4 other girls who were drinking - I wasn't, for some odd reason - anyway, the bouncers raided the loo, pushed the door in, resulting in a cut below my eyebrow. Of course not wanting the old pair to know, I let them patch me up and back out into the hall...they wouldn't get away with it in this day and age!!!

A ha thats where all the girls hid.. If you though the girls tiolets were bad just try and think what the guys toilet were like. Sick and Pee on the seats floor walls handles... Sorry thats a bit too graphic..

It use to be amazing standing on the packed floor of The Grove and then all of a sudden a mass exodus of girls out of the doors when first song of the slow set came on...

Oh welcome to the Forum

...It looks that way now... You hadn't got a clue what I was referring to 

.. See Froggy or Princess(Which would you prefer to be called for short ?) Topic subjects in here kind of slightly drift of the original topic

Hello Frog Princess ( I just can't bring myself to call you Froggy ) and welcome to the nuthouse.

From your description of the application of the white make up and the purple lippy,I gather your Grove Era was late eighties,early nineties.

I actually went to McGonagles before I ever went to the Grove, as a kid I was well up on the local music scene and used go to McGonagles to see bands like The Atrix, DC Nein and The New Versions . This would have been around 1980.

After the Grove finished for us,( 1985 ) 'fraid it was straight to the boozer. A few of them on here went to the Cricket Club or out to Saints in Howth.

Yes indeed I was an 88 - 90 girl alright. I was determined that I would never end up going to the Cricket as there was a girl across the road whose father used to insist on accompanying her. The horror!!!!

Is it just me or has Cecil been taking taking magic anti-aging pills? I saw him at the Christmas bash and he hasn't changed a bit!!!

They probably don't do make bags big enough for your needs Shar ... Oh I am really dead now in a few weeks time

 

As for where did I go after the Grove well I left went to the Criket and then back to the Grove back to the Cricket back to the Grove.. Went to Fibbers and McGonagles. (Hey Rolo saw Ozzy Osbourne play there in 199-91 warm up gig for World tour) I was the oldest out of our Grove gang lol

 

During the above time I also went out to the trendier clubs in town with my brother and mates I was the yougest and went to Tamangos, Saints(Charlies), Flamingoes, but always went back to the Grove
