David19

I know two or three guys in BESS and they're all bang on too.

ApeXaviour

I know a bunch of bess girls I'd like to be on and bang too..

It's not a rule that they are all horrible people but they do certainly have a disproportianate amount of wa*kers!
I've come across many, girls and lads.. Went on holiday with two last year and have hardly spoken with them since.. Reason why is implied.

chump

I know 24 or 30 people in BESS and they're all bang on...
especially the ladies

Nietzschean

24 or 30, not an odd choice of numbers?

ApeXaviour

There are probably 6 who are iffies sky... Chump likes to be precise methinks and within error...

It all depends on what you constitute as an asshole..

Nietzschean

And I mean like totally, a pint of Heino for myself my good man...

sorry, easy target, roysh

Pet

Bahahahaha, lmao.

Does one encounter many of that ilk in TCD? I have an uncanny habit of easily picking up accents, and a D6 is a bit undesirable...

There is some girl around trinity who enjoys using the phrase

Fool, you got it backwards.
Hamo is pronounced like steo, jonno etc... You don't have a clue..

desertcircus

It's loike, totally focking exaggerated how many Rock and Gonzaga boys there are in BESS. I've been reading too focking much Ross O'Carroll-Kelly, and BESS isn't all Kens and Probs and dyed blond hair and rugby jerseys. There are a few, but for every stereotypical D4-head, there's someone who isn't.

And to the people who know me and referred to knowing one sound person in BESS, I'll kick your ass if you aren't referring to me!

John

I didn't know you did BESS. And if you kicked my ass who'd help you carry boxes around Dublin?

D6? Surely you mean D4? I know many more people around here that speak in a "schweh" accent than a "roysh" one. It's very annoying, actually.

Pet

Heh, it's like "scanger or toff? scanger or toff!?". I think the toffs will make a nice change though, I've had enough scangers for one lifetime.

Isn't D6 all Killiney, Foxrock, etc? Then again I'm not a Dublin native so I'm not familiar with the postcodes.

Crash

d6/d6w is terenure parts of knocklyon and that sort i thought?

sleepingbeauty

hrm d6 is like rathmines, ranleagh area? but my knowledge of those numbers aint the best...meh i guess it doesnt really matter

Andrew 83

Yeah Dublin 6 was the biggest postal district so they split it about 10 years ago. 6 is Rathgar/Ranelagh/Rathmines/Dartry type area. 6w is Terenure/Kimmage/Walkinstown area.

vinks

knocklyon is d16 it covers some areas of templeogue as well.

Chick

D6W is Terenure. Killiney's not, thats south county dublin.

oh ive met loads bess ppl durin freshers week and barely any of them were the stereotypical knobs i had in mind! met guys doing law as well and they were cool too? blew that one right outta the water!

Pet

Yeah, I guess not everyone can fit the stereotype. However, I did encounter quite a few "Roysh, Fionán!" types, all were BESSers, so...

Chick

god, i met someone called Fionán doing bess lol!!

He was a country lad tho, so didnt have the D4 accent.... :S

Bartronilic

templeogue is SO not d16 its d6w. walklinstown is d12, gawd get it roysh.

PHB

templeogue is SO not d16 its d6w

Nope, you're just wrong.
Templeogue, i.e. beside where I live, is D16, Terenure is D6W. The dividing line is just past Terenure college.

gilroyb

Afraid a large portion of Templeogue is D6w. All up around the Spawell is D6w. I'm not aware of any portion of it that is D16, but I'm willing to accept that some of it may be, but the majority is 6w

shay_562

Templeogue, i.e. beside where I live, is D16,

D 16 is from the line of the Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown electoral area to somewhere in Knocklyon. Having lived in D 16 for around 16 years now, I'm fairly certain it doesn't encompass Templeogue village, mostly since D 16 and D 6W don't even border each other:

http://www.dublintourist.com/maps/dublin_postal_codes.shtml

Both the tourist site above and Wikipedia (never fully reliable, but usually close enough) list D 16 as containing parts of Ballinteer, Ballyboden, Kilmashogue, Knocklyon, Rathfarnham, Rockbrook and Sandyford while Templeogue is located in Dublin 6W by both. An Post has no record of Templeogue ever existing, but only lists Clonard, Ballally, Ballinteer and Ballyboden as being part of Dublin 16. It's An Post, so I'm not going to completely rule out the possibility that some side road in the area has accidentally ended up with a D 16 address (my address says I'm in Rathfarnham, despite my living a good 2 miles outside of it), but for all intents and purposes, Templeogue is Dublin 6W and Bartronilic can rest safe in the knowledge that he's not living in some knacker postcode, he's in Dublin 6 West.

Bartronilic

Yeah PHB. i live in templeogue, 6w so you put ur foot in it there this is funny fighting about post codes!

Pet

this is funny fighting about post codes!

And it's all BESS students.


Imagine that.

shay_562

And it's all BESS students.


Imagine that.

In my defense, I care more about people with high-handed, arrogant "Nope, you're just wrong" attitudes posting factual inaccuracies than I do about post codes. And...do I really need to post the requisite "why science students are bad people too" insults here? They're getting boring.

Bartronilic

its just a pet hate seeing somebody getting an area mixed up or wrong. its really stupid and hypocritical (as if i'd know where glenageary is or which side of cork is the bigger side) but it just gets to me.

templeogue is the brown area in the southeast of dblin 12 right under dublin 6w. the reason why its in dublin 12 in that map is because it used to be in dublin 12 but it was considered too isolated or something.

i'll stop talking about post codes now.
