    Does anyone know what the sceal over attendance is?
    We're told its like, you've to have like, 75% overall cept mines pretty poor, as bad as 43% in one or two, but the thing is my results in CAs are like, real good, in some cases the best, so like, is anything going to happen over the whole me-not-attending thing?

    [edit] there is like far too many 'likes' in the above ;) [/edit]


    haha, they are getting pretty moany about it alright, but look at it this way, the letters that sent out at least to the people I've spoken to, were to the majority of people. I think only around 20/30% didn't get them :D

    I wish they were as quick to send out results, student cards, grants, timetables, etc, you know the important stuff, as they were with this crap.

    What year/course are you in anyway?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    I'm in first year, thats all YOU need to know :)
    Yeah i know, it took a month to get my ID card organised 'cause of problems with the camera or something and even then it came out looking worse than CIE produce,as if the office had they're 6 year olds design them or something...
    My timetable is so retarded aswell, lots of hours playing pool in the student union "building"/SHACK or wandering through the square(risky ;) ).
    I've only got one email so far so I think its all gravy..
    Oh yeah, and exams right after we come back from the Christmas holidays??It's such a barrel of laughs..

    Yeah, like i'm going to start spurting out details about myself on an internet site, yeah right!uh yeah, would you like my name too?Don't think so :)

    Which dump? The student union shack definately is below par, I mean the thing is basically falling apart(pull that t-shirt thats strapped to the ceiling above the second pool table and thats the roof gone).I'd say that porto-cabin will be there long after I'm gone...
    If you're referring to the college as a whole as a dump, I wouldn't go as far as to say that its a dump,there's nothing wrong with the actual building itself as such...read between the lines :)
    If ya were talking about the Square being a dump, you're damn right. I hate the place, and yeah, thanks to the lovely halting site down the road from it,there just about is a pikey reunion in the place every day, its a disgrace.
    Its not like I have a problem with travellers, as long as we don't cross paths I'm 100% happy with them doing their thing, but when there's 10 of their kids trying to rip my bag off me, thats when I have a problem, little ****s.
    Not only is the Square a total dive, it actually smells too, to make matters worse, but theres not much point in going on about it because everyone, from wherever they happen to be from in Dublin, know for a fact that the Square is a dump. But then again, shopping centres tend to attract scum like some sort of magnet to little metal ball bearings...Wait and see what happens the new Dundrum Shopping Centre...
    And the RedMall, i mean, hello?Location here, i mean, what BT2 shopper will go out to Blanchardstown when Grafton Street is about, 50 times safer?
    Sorry about the length of the post by the way, ya had me a little confused :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,095 ✭✭✭Chick


    Hey no probs about the length of your post... interesting reading lol. I was talking about the square, not Tallaght IT (I'm in TCD anyway so I dunno anyone whos in IT Tallaght or what its even like inside!) but oh my god youre so right about little ****s trying to like snatch all of your stuff! Is nothing sacred anymore people!? And as for the smell -I thought I was the only one that noticed that, but it's not just me yay! Lingers in the air... way gross

    I haven't really got like any issues with travellers either, just like as you said once they stay out of my way then its like all gravy baby. I'm cool with it as long as they dont try to like rob me or mow me down with their high ace vans full of stolen "gear"!

    About BT2 -me and my friends were just talkin bout that the other day, and theres like no way that I'd bother venturing into the blanchardstown one, when grafton st. is just down the street from Trinity -like hello so much handier AND you get to keep all of your personal belongings, added bonus ;) Theres supposed to be an FCUK opening there too, but sure theres one just around the corner from Brown Thomas on Clarendon St anyway! I'd never be over Blanchardstown area anyway so doesnt really affect me either way I suppose, just thought I'd get that all of my chest!

    A friend of mine refers to it as the smell of poverty which is amusing to say the least :) Oh and girls really have to watch themselves up there, I was in there with a friend one day and I swear, it was like the Camp had decided to come and annoy as many people as they could, they were toppling bins, attacking security guards, trying to rob people and they were jocking girls as they tried to get onto the bus(90% of arses in Tallaght are NOT worth seeing :) ) so no, not even your own ass is sacred anymore..

    I just feel sorry for the staff, it Is Blanchardstown after all, and we've seen what happens people who say no to scum there havent we?( http://www.emigrant.ie/article.asp?iCategoryID=177&iArticleID=20637 scroll down a bit). I'm sure it will have customers, but if you weigh up trouble over ordinary transactions you might be at a loss...

    Dont worry I can safely say I'd be in the other 10% if it so happened that I'd be paying a visit to the Chearnóg ;) It's kinda scary though when all the knackers start knocking over bins and shouting n ****... its like so intimidating!! :mad: You'd nearly need someone to protect you!

    Oh would ya now!? I don't find it intimidating really,unless you happen to spot the Hi-Ace parked across the way, just waiting for you to put their kids in order so they can hop out with, i dunno, what weapons do tinkers use.....POTS! and "give ye a hidin" as they call it.
    It's disgusting though, youd think they had just came home from playing rugby judging by the amount of dirt on their faces...

    Kinda adds a "dangerous rebel" side to them doesn't it...and you girls like that,like Colin Farrel ;)

    Yeah the second guy definately looks like a fruit n' nut anyway, and the first guy is just WRONG...that hair is hilarious.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,095 ✭✭✭Chick


    Mmmm Colin farrell is good looking alroysh... BUT you could slice bread with that accent!! Imagine bringing him anywhere -total shamer!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    Yeah, what a representative of Ireland! ugh..
    Imagine bringing him home to meet your parents!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,095 ✭✭✭Chick


    They'd be like so horrified lol... especially when he asks them if they wanna join him for a joint;)
    Have to admit he is gorgeous though, big brown eyes n dark hair:D

    He could bring ya all for "dinner" at abrakebabra, he got awarded some sort of like, life time free meals card from them...enough said!
    Alot of girls say that about him, don't get it though, if I saw a good looking girl who had an accent like that(thats SO gonna happen ;) ) it'd be such a turn off.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,095 ✭✭✭Chick


    Free meals card at Ab kebab? What's the point in that... they might as well have just given him a room in the Mater private for all that e-coli hes gonna be ingesting! ewww kebabs repulse me...

    Ok so if you saw a stunner of a girl, you wouldnt know shed a NS accent until she spoke, so I'm accepting Colin at face value and face value only lol!;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    Lol face value...quality..

    Kebabs are so disgusting, don't see how so many knacks eat them after the clubs, co-incidentally, they've two kebab shops around the corner from redbox...I wonder why... ;)

    Well obviously a stunner of a girl would definately get my attention but I'd have basically no interest in her if she opened her mouth and came out with "dis,dat,deese,dose" etc, its so, kebab like :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,095 ✭✭✭Chick


    I wouldn't eat a kebab if you payed me, I don't even eat meat anyway, but kebabs just seem so much worse than other meat! How could anyone possibly keep one of those down after drinking about twenty vodka+red bulls in RedBox!?

    I totally agree with you about having no interest in someone after I hear a skanger accent, it'd just be like thanks, but no thanks. Such a shame!;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    ugh totally, ever looked in the window of one of those places?the meat is basically there for any flys or anything to land on, on some sort of like, vertical spit...God...

    €10 for a double vodka and redbull in Bondi, which is cool.
    I dunno what it is about that drink, but usually on a night out I'll have a few and i totally hate redbull on its own but mixed with vodka, prefer the Fat Frogs for €10 though and then bottles of Heino for €3? Gotta love Bondi :D

    I've actually never met a really good looking girl with an accent, hope to never either, but I dunno, it just doesn't seem to happen.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,095 ✭✭✭Chick


    Yeah have actually looked in the window yeah, and theres just a big greasy lump revolving on the spit... eugh!! lets forget about it -so so gross!!

    I can't drink RedBull on its own either lol, thats so weird! Its just sooo much better with vodka, then again anything is:)
    But i'd have to say I'd drink fat frogs over vodka+RB anyday. I fcuking love alco pops, fat frogs are such a legend idea! who wouldva thought mixing those three together could be so damn nice, hits you like a ton of bricks but still ;)

    Youve probably never met a gorgeous girl with an accent cos theres like so few of them around. skangers in general are an ugly race:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    The thing what I don't get is that some girls go for guys who are a bit, "sweh" , not total knackers now, just have a bit of an accent, a friend of mines boyfriend for example..explain that! and shes nowhere near being a knacker herself!

    Fat frogs are quality yeah, its strange how people come up with the drinks. In Barcode clontarf, (nice place, risky getting there, mixed crowd) they've a drink called "Diggie Specials", its a double vodka, smirnoff ice and blackcurrent mixed together in a pint for €6. If you're ever having a night in. make some of them up, they're savage :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,000 ✭✭✭✭Giblet


    Holy crap you both sound like uppity bastards.

    Irish people have accents, and ROYSH isn't a word.

    And you drink stupid drinks like "double vodka and red bulls" and "Smirnoff Ice"

    Tastes like a coolpop, what are ye, kids?

    :D

    It is, its just "Right" spelled phonetically :D
    Of course Irish people have accents, it just the "alree bud wats de craic im gonna do a drive by" accent isn't exactly one that we should be proud of, or praise for that matter..

    Hey, I drink heineken too, depends on the situation : clubs - fat frogs or double vodka and red bulls , Pubs - Heineken. Unless you count Heineken as a stupid drink for some reason...I'm taking it you're a Guiness drinker?
