R.I.P 16 Ranelagh Road

I never thought the day would come. The lads place on Ranelagh Road is to be vacated by the current tenants Fergal, Andy and Ian as they have moved to plush new diggs in Ranelagh village. 4 thrilling years. Very few people can say they haven't stayed there at least once. Just the other day, a complete stranger was found asleep on the couch. And there he was left, to enjoy his slumber in peace; to leave in his own time. That was the beauty of the revolving Ranelagh door. It has served as home to: - 1 permanent resident and 8 (if I count correctly) others who came and went - Predrinking - "Carnage" - Sleepovers - Hangovers - Birthdays - Boardgames - Nudity - Leaf Fights - A Spare Key - Halloween Costumes - Sing Songs - The Porn Cube (pictured) - Dirt/Filth/Grease/Grime - Shouting - Whispering - Breaking stuff - Cleaning stuff - Lots and lots of laughs It really is the end of an era...
