Nearly 120,000 students or 'poor sods' as they are to be known by everyone else, have sat down for their Leaving and Junior Cert exams today.
Exam time can be an uncertain time but there are some things you can rely on. In an act of annual cruelty, the sun will emerge and raise the heat even further on the poor craturs and your Mam will turn into a motivational maniac!
We thought we'd give you the Today FM Top 10 things you'll hear Mrs Miagi say over the next few weeks.
'I got you the fish fingers with the extra Omega, that lovely doctor on the afternoon show was saying it's great for the brain'
'Is Australia coming up in Geography is it?...NO?...WELL WHY ELSE WOULD YOU BE SITTING ON YOUR ARSE IN FRONT OF HOME AND A FECKIN' WAY INSTEAD OF BEING UPSTAIRS AT THE BOOKS!!!
Where do you think you're going?...OUT TO MEET THE GANG? You are in your eye...dya think Betty Collin's boy is OUT WITH THE GANG?...No!...off you go...I've the fish fingers on.
How did it go love? I lit a candle this morning after dropping you off. I met Betty Collins above there, she’s awful worried about her Declan, hasn’t gone near a book she said.
That Jenny rang looking for you...I said you’d ring back in a few weeks. Listen She’ll still be there in a month if she’s any good.
I have you pens for the morning? I was in town earlier and picked some up...I left a few in your rucksack by the door. (open rucksack on way to exam hall to reveal 4000 blue and black bic biros tied together with a St Anthony medal)
I kept the supplements from Irish Times, The Indo, The Star, The Sun, The Mirror, The Farmer’s Journal, The Ireland’s Own and the girls were doing a bit on Midday and I recorded it for you.
"What are you doing on the computer again, JESUS Christ! Mary McGinty's young gasan is hoping for medicine in Trinity, he goes home and does 5 hours study, then he does the hoovering, he mows the lawn, he clips his grandad's toenails, then he does ANOTHER 5 hours study. Why aren't you more like him?"
"Now don't be going mental after them exams are finished. I heard a story about a gang of lads that went out after they finished their leaving cert, they drank two bad pints. AND ENDED UP IN A TREE IN BOLIVIA."
