celingfan

Oh yes im back the fan has arrived ...
Now down to buisness after a short leave i return to find to my disgust and shear horror that there is a COMEDY society for freshers week.
SO before i rant on any more does any body know who set this up ????
Alos any connections to the phil hist or players but most of all most heanous of arch nimisis the CSC eould be good.

Boston

I know the entire comittee.

celing fan will u get off yer high horse ranting plz , 3rd post on the topic, yet to share anything of interest imo

Chick

i thought all of the phil and hist people were all really nice, well to me anyway. i had a totally different impression of what theyd be like from here. but they were really welcoming+friendy towards everyone

tbh i thought they were really nice last year aswell (well when i was at a few things during freshers week anyway)..guess its just your own opinion really..

Ste.phen

almost like they were trying to sign you up....

Nietzschean

ahhh can't u just smell the scarcasm , quality stuff igy

sleepingbeauty

yeah true igy, true
but i had joined but that stage...oh meh it dont really matter

Actually the Hist guys are all pretty sound, a lot of my friends got involved with em last year so chatting with em on a friend of a friend basis they're a pretty sound lot - and appreciative when i was bored and offered to give em the odd hand. so they're ok in my books.

Chick

Yeah like canvas i had already signed up, so they werent just being nice 2 me for that reason. I went to the Phil's thing last week, the debate thing. it was soooo wierd i was so completely lost

Yeah I went to my first phil debate tonight. Lol I didn't know what was going on at the start. It turned out to be pretty good in the end. Anyone else go?
Ron Jeremy is speaking tomorrow. I might wander down after I've had a few pints.

Chick

the whole tux thing definitely took me by surprise :eek:

David19

Lol yeah me too. All the traditional stuff was wierd, like the tux thing, standing up all the time, reading out all this stuff that I couldn't hear properly and sounded irrelevant. The debate was good though. Im glad I went even if it was on my own.

ApeXaviour

Meh...
Phil/Hist BOOOOOOOHHHH....

Pet

What's your issue with the Phil/Hist?

ApeXaviour

They're the bad guys..

Chick

no theyre not!

Boston

reserve your judgement untill you've had a run in with them.

Nietzschean

I doubt most of us will ever have a 'run in' with them, its my 3rd year here and i've had none, don't see there being much chance of me having any either. Anyone i've ran into from either the phil or the hist has been grand.

Boston

You've never had any dealings with them on a level where you've wanted something they didn't or vice versa then. They really do feel the entire college is merely there to serve their needs.

Nietzschean

no but then i never will have those dealings with them, so from my perspective they are grand.

"You've never had any dealings with them on a level where you've wanted something they didn't or vice versa then. They really do feel the entire college is merely there to serve their needs."

There may be a handful of individuals who act that way, but by and large they're lovely. I can think of only one person between the two societies who genuinely acts and thinks like that.

Chick

I know im only a fresher whos been there a handful of days, but ive met absolutely loads of ppl from both societies and they really did seem genuinely nice. i went to both receptions at luch, debates and nights out in redbox, and they all seemed like a really sound bunch of guys. the didnt seem to think that they were more important than anyone else, or that they were above other students.
anyway thats just my opinion!

Yeah but when the handful of individuals are the ones dealing with other societies of course they're going to give them a bad name. But not all the socs can be perfect like DURNS...

Crash

hrmmm...well out of the Hist i know two of the comitee members pretty well, and been introduced to a number of the others and they all seem like really nice guys, i know a number of people heavily involved with the society and in general most societies are really gonna fight for their own way - its simply that the Phil and the Hist would seem to have more leeway and more power overall because of the membership base and connections. IMO its just a "meh they're big so i think they're snobby etc." - same as the UCD - trinity rivalry

Boston

Imho there are two types of people, those right minded people who hate hte phil and hist and all they stand for, and the ghey.

i hope i don't reveal your proferred anonymity but angry banana was the guy sitting to your right John2 on the coach on the left side of the door as you come in. he was playing the guitar and listening to his creative mp3 player. He said, and i hope i don't misquote "i'm rocking along to damien rice".

this was i think thursday last week.

Are you talking to me? If so, damn, you've got a good memory.

I can't remember those faces tbh, so I'll be floating around again today, and I probably won't be as mute as I was the last day (dunno what got into me, it's usually impossible to shut me up)...Are you the guy with really green eyes btw? If so, do you wear contact lenses? Cos damn, they're very very green.

Kevin_rc_ie

hey pet,

i was talking to john2 and talking to him from his prospective in the room from which angry banana should have been able to deduce who he was.

dunno if it worked.

yes i do were contact lenses but my eyes are blue. not green but blue.

:-)

Christ that's a good memory. That, or you fancy me. And I clearly said "I'm rocking out to damien rice".

Hmm, perhaps I have you mixed up then. Did you come early to the boards meetup last week? Cos I remember someone had really green eyes (aside from mise[also contacts btw], and yes, I do tend to remember strange things).
Again, I apologise for my terrible memory of names. But I have a good memory for faces.

Also, DAMN this internet is fast.

Kevin_rc_ie

yeah it's a mystery pet who this person is with the green eyes. anyway, more important things in life like saw and old boy.

actually i just reread your message and yes i did come early. my whole message is now pointless.

Haha.

Perhaps it was just another case of Pet-blindness, so let's leave it be.

Anyone going to the DURNS "rockestra" later on? I'm sorely tempted, they're missing a drummer and I could do with the practice. Then again, my contact lenses are annoying the feck out of me, and I'm tired and hungrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy....*whines*

edit: haha, the ads are going mad about contact lenses.

Boston

Tempted to join Durns at this stage, Who was hte guy getting the tape ripped off his flesh. ?

Pet

What guy? Explain.

Boston

Hard to explain, had to be there and all that milarky.

John

Boston, there were three getting that done to them but Conor (who you may know from the SU bookshop) was there the longest.

And Kev, thank you for revealing mr banana's secret identity to me. I do indeed remember him.

Angry Banana, I remember you.

Pet, come up to the DURNS room at any stage, we're always looking for more people for rockestra.

I think that's everyone duly addressed.
