I punched into my gold card and used to wear it around my neck so I wouldn’t lose it!

I worked on the building of the club with my brother back in the early nineties - he did most of the carpentry in it, including the bar.

My friend was getting married to an American guy and moving to America to be with him, so for her hen, her one demand was to end up in Coppers! She knew she wouldn’t be coming home for years and never again as a ‘single’ woman so it was an appropriate send-off to her single life. Everyone was really nice and congratulated her all night!

I remember after the tag rugby win Jamie (Leonard, of the marketing department) promising to get me in with his "gold card” and then as we were waved in by the bouncers to a hectic, redbull smelling, sticky floored pit of lights, bleary eyed I did a 180 and stepped into a taxi on Nassau street.

As my head was falling onto the pillow, under the warmth of my quilt, I got a text from Jamie. “We’re beside the gents, where are you?”

I turned off my phone and closed my eyes with a big smile on my face.

I heard Jamie Heaslip was there one night so I went on a search for him inside, found him and then followed him around for a few minutes repeating over and over again “this is rugby country” – that was a line he had to say in an ad for Guinness. Yes I’m a total loser!!!!
