What's the best part of the Leaving Cert? The holiday of a lifetime with your pals after obviously. 

After months of studying, cramming and lighting candles (lots of candles) you need to let off a bit of steam. A cheap sun getaway with a group of your friends is always a popular choice - a right of passage even. 

Well Mick Molloy from Gorey, Co.Wexford was ready for his moments of glory in the sun. Santa Ponsa baby!!

But before he left, his mum put a comprehensive list of handwritten rules into his suitcase:

So it's:

  • avoid balconies completely
  • walk away from fights
  • be careful crossing roads when drunk
  • late night swims result in drowning - don't do it
  • stay away from dodgy tattoo parlours with dirty needles. don't ruin your body by getting a tattoo
  • stick with your friends
  • look out for everyone
  • use condoms**
  • have respect for yourself & other

What a ledge!!

Double asterisks for the condoms - love it!!

These 9 power points are solid advice for people of any age and a copy should be sent to every household in the country. 

Let's just hope he's not rebellious and gets the list tattooed on his buttocks (we know well ya wouldn't Mick).

With lots of listeners telling us that it sounded like 'Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen', Iano even gave it the Baz Luhrmann treatment on this morning's The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show.

Have a blast Mick! Sea, sun and......sand, ya, lots of sand. 

Check out Iano doing Mick's mammy's version of 'Sunscreen' by pressing the play button in the image at the top of the page. 

Here are Baz's words of wisdom in full (in case you've never had the pleasure of hearing them):
