Feeding the horse you call it? More like stuffing it's
face! Some guys were lucky that it didn't bite back!!! I remember a few occassions where it was more like "sticking your fingers up the horse's nose" (if ya know what I mean!?) I'm sure a few of my fellow Grove girls know exactly what I'm talking about! You were lucky if ya got a guy who had even the slightest notion about what he was at. I sometimes think that it was so that they could go back and brag to their mates. It definitely wasn't for our pleasure's sake!!!

I hear you sister! My God, I think some of the lads
who went to the Grove were absent during "Sex Ed" week and biology class. They should've distributed The Do's & Don'ts of "Horse Feeding" (as they've so delicately put it on this site) leaflets round all the schools on the northside! Maybe the compound would've been a busier place... and not so many miserable looking teenager girls!!! |

Now girls, I think you're being a bit harsh on our
Northside Boys! I found that all they needed was a little guiding hand and it worked a treat, the voice of experience. Although I know what you mean about the bragging element. I used to hang around with these bunch of lads from Artane and I remember that one of them, lets call him Thomas, had just scored (most likely for the first time) with this girl. I remember it was a cold December evening, so instead of heading out to the compound they stayed on the chairs along the wall-bars in the main hall. But all I remember was this guy coming up to the gang, (he obviously didn't see me), holding up his middle finger for all the lads to smell it! As if he had just hunted the prize deer or something. The sense of achievement was tangible!

| "I sometimes think it was so they could go back to brag to their mates" ... you SOMETIMES think??? Can I come and live in your world where sometimes adolescent guys considered there might be anything else but the "smell my finger" factor in these encounters. How innocent we were! Now I have two daughters and please tell me, how do I warn them???? |

You know when I first read this forum I thought to myself “Am I just innocent of what”! but then I spoke to my ever worldly husband… and guess what, that part about the fella sticking his middle finger up and saying – smell that, well my husband said they used to do that and say – here smell my new girlfriend… now is that disgusting or what – don’t worry I married the sucker… The things you find out after 14 years… LOL….. ------------- "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better." |

that actually reminds me of something a mate of mine from artane did one night. I was sat on the chair when this finger gets shoved in me face. The knacker. These artane people didnt hang out across from mc donalds did they? Would have been between 92 and 95 ish..... |

Right guys, I've said this before and Teresa and Stevie just didn't believe me but it's the God's honest truth. Like Mel ( Brunswick ) I went to the Grove for about 6 years ( I know, far too long but whatcha gonna do ? )........and in all those five years,never once set foot in the Compound ( Swear to God ) .........and worse still was never even aware of it's existence until this Forum kicked off.

I remember the compound with grass and a railing. Even though I sorta suspected (from rumours etc.,) the type of thing that went on, I dont recall ever getting involved in any 'undercover' activity out there - I do remember going out once or twice to genuinely "get some air" with a girl as it used to be boiling in the hall but nothing ever really happened And Rolo, nothing wrong with being to the Grove for 6 yrs+

Rolo, I started going down with one crowd at first, then many of them stopped going, so I started hanging around with a new crowd. Then some of that crew left and some of my younger brother's friends started to come down. When it got to the point that young grovers were saying hello to me but I just didnt know who they were or when girls were saying "Hey, you're Mel, my sister used to talk about you!", I knew it was time to stop...it was a wrench though

Could've been worse Mel, They could've been saying " Hey you're Mel, me Ma used to talk about you ". Like yourself, started with one crowd which quickly merged into another crowd. That was on Saturdays. Then on Sundays it was a totally different " older " crowd, think you probably would've known some of 'em. Rolo. |

I remember being in a major snog and fumble to the left of where Cecil set up his deck on stage. We were in a different zone completely when this shouting finally made it through the passion.....it was Cecil roaring at the pair of us we were after knocking the plug of his record deck out of the socket in the wall. We were so involved we hadn't even heard the music being cut off mid song. Everyone on stage had a right old snigger. Mortified we were.
