Yeah what did everyone think of the workshops and stuff? I thought it was a really good turnout, considering it was raining earlier on!

Btw Karl Marx did ya come up to our stand today?!

I took a quick glance over at your stand but didn't come any where near it. I busy talking with the Atheist society guys.

On a slightly off topic note, can anyone tell me if the visitors centre is open tomorrow? I need to return something that was purchased there today. :mad:

Why are you returning it? And the Atheist society, tch.


I'm joining the pro life society.

Well hopefully there will be a pro-choice society allowed soon to stop this ridiculous scenario of the 'pro-life' (anti-choice) being the only one allowed. It is a thundering disgrace in this day and age that such a society is not allowed by the Societies Guild constitution.

Btw I signed up for the atheist soc as well!

Yeah I met a lot of people last year who were extremely irked by the absense of a pro-choice society.

To be honest I don't know why anyone would want to spend their social time in either society, whatever happened to a good old Film or book society?

Aren't you joining one of them though?

Slightly specialised is it not; meeting once a week to discuss abortion?

As opposed to Student's for life discussing... em... life?!

Sorry if I come across stubborn but I'm just very frustrated with this issue! In Labour we have many who are pro-life and we can agree to disagree no bother. I'd just like a chance to just talk about the subject at society level in UCC, is all. Good luck with the Society anyway

You're gonna love this. Put the hoodie on just after you dropped me off. Pulled up the zip and the zip snaps in half. Wonderful craftsmanship I must say. I hope some child sweat shop worker gets sold into prostitution for such shoddy workmanship. :eek::D


So does anyone know if the visitors centre is open tomorrow?

I've no idea, can you just drop in on Monday?

Yeah I can but i'm just horribly impatient when it comes to things like this. When I buy something I expect it to not fall apart a few hours after I buy it. Oh well.

How much was it, as a matter of interest?

Dear god. With statements like that you deserve to have your zip broken, you horrible horrible horrible person.



Nah I meant that with a virtual tongue in cheek, apologies.. no offence meant.

None taken!

I discovered today that being 17 and in first year is a load of bollocks!

Even the events organised by the Students Union are for over 18's cos they're in pubs, clubs, etc.

It's discrimination!!

Why not hold the event somewhere that won't stop you at the door cos you're 17, and if they're that bloody bothered about it, have them check I.D. at the bar when you're buying alcohol. It's so ****e, I can't go out to anything for my entire first year, and my friends won't go either cos they wouldn't leave me at home :mad::mad::(

Speaking from the SU's point of view, we'd love if 17 year olds could attend all our events, but unfortunately the law states that under 18 yr olds arent allowed in a licenced premises after 9 o'clock, hence why ID is checked on the doors and not at the bars. I know its sucks being 17 and in college but theres nothing much we can do about it, if we hold events where alcohol is served we're forced to make it strictly 18+. It'll seem worse on freshers week but dont worry theres tonnes of non-alcohlic (or at least not id strict) nights out in the year so its not all bad.

Where are the free lab coats?;)

I had fun today, despite setting up a stand in the raaaaaain, ugh. Was loving the enthusiasm Freshers... cant wait to get back monday now

Do you have any opinion on the pro/anti-choice debate btw or do you just side-step it like all the FG head?! I'm guessing the latter tbh, given your complete cockiness on every other subject...
