    Went for the House pizza. Got a 16" pizza for myself and a friend for E10. It includes chips, a dip of your choice and 2 cans. Really good deal I think

    We ended up getting that last night. Pizza was actually nice too!

    Does anyone know what happened in ERB001 yesterday? We weren't allowed to go in for a class, and there were people outside with walkie talkies, etc.

    I was walking down from the Main Building to KBS yesterday morning (I think or it could've been on Thursday morning) and I saw a security car and an ambulance following it on the road to the carpark behind the Foundation Building. I presume someone must've had a bad accident or a serious medical issue.

    Why can't they open the library at at least 7am. That would give 2 hours of studying Before lectures start.. And on Sundays they should at least stay open until 9 especially as more people are staying down weekends near the end of the semester.

    Is there any food place in UL that is open on campus on Sundays? Kinda pointless going to the library for a couple of hours and you can get something to snack on if nothing is open..

    Are they making a cycle path on the left hand side of the avenue as your walking in to UL from the road? That'd be so good!

    Yeah, that's the nearest place I can think of that is actually open.

    It's gonna be a pedestrian path for both walkers and cyclists. It won't be like the one we have on the right where you have a footpath on one side and a cycling lane on the other.

    Hoping they upgrade that footpath soon as it's a mess when it rains. Puddles everywhere and the other day, the leaves blocks the drainage and flooded the entire path sideways and nobody could walk through it unless they wanted wet feet.

    The cycle track on the avenue that is there now is horrible. It's so uneven :eek:

    According to the maps on UL, it's called the Avenue Road :P

    Are you in Brookfield? Do they not have buses shuttling students between UL and the apartments every so often?

    Where's HS building? Is it on the other side of the river or is it beside the Engineering Research Building by the living bridge?

    Have mechanics tutorial in HSG031 this evening and if it's on the other side of the river, I'll needn't bother going since I'm in Plassey..

    Across the living bridge. It's the building on the right as you come off the bridge. Worth the trip over for the sexy doctors and nurses. ;)

    Why doesn't the library let you take out more than 5 books? How do they expect anyone to do a Literature Review with only five books, especially when there's no seats for you to do it without taking out books?
    Also, why are there a heap of empty shelves but a load of books taking up seats with a sign "no room on shelves"? Those books won't take up much more than a shelf
    Error 404: Logic not found.

    I'm actually currently watching three people waiting to pounce on one seat, the poor lad is still putting his stuff away...

    That's something that annoys me every time I'm looking for a chair. They've been empty for ages! You could fit tables where the empty shelves are :confused:

    Yup, for study week, they won't even have to buy tables, they can just bring in some from empty classrooms if they move the shelves out of the way.

    To the person behind me,
    Too much aftershave is as bad as too little... my eyes are watering and my sinus is going crazy. It's not even a nice smell!

    How early will I have to be on the library study week to get a spot or is it even worth it?

    You might get away with half seven, depending on the crowds, but given it's difficult to find a seat during semester this year, I would go early. Every year, there is a massive queue for the library and a ramage of students scrambling for seats.

    It's not computers people be after but the access to books and quietness. Plus, those computers are disgusting, especially the fish tank, where there's a layer of gunk on the tables...

    You'll be hard pressed to find quietness in the library.

    I dunno, I've been there just about every day for the last couple of weeks and it's been grand in terms of noise.
