14th - Valentines' Event in The Fleet (Shift a Trinner?)<br />

Miscellaneous [http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~wibble/party photos] from a house party.

13th - Event in Good Time Charlies nightclub in Howth. Reports from this event suggest that some Redbrick guys got off with each other, and that staff at the venue were exasperated by the end of the night.

The punishment, as said above, is suspension of BBS posting priveleges for two weeks (That is, after the committee have agreed that what was said, or done, was wrong.)

<p>The chat software was the result of development work done by Pooka and Plop. Pooka spent some of the summer beating sense into a chat server called NUTS (Neil's Unix Talk Server), and he added lots of features and generally cleaned up the code. Plop wrote a curses based client for NUTS, called ITCHY, hence Redbrick's main chat software was bizarrely entitled Itchy Nuts - "Imaginatively titled client heralding yapping on Neil's UNIX talk server".</p>

<p>Police in riot gear turned up when the brickies were all loitering outside The Jolly Beggarman deciding where to go. They were probably just driving by anyway, and they noticed Thayl and Kod on top of some telephone boxes... The party in Wishkah's after the Jolly Beggarman was quite good. It was also quite entertaining to see the look on the faces of the scummers who were told to leave, after they had given away all their beer. As well as the look on Pooka's face after one of them punched him in the face.</p>
