It sounds like UL has gone downhill since I left!! (Not academically, I hope)

I have been in DCU as well though and I think the craic in UL was better even with one bar, as it was then.

Ah rozie delighted to see your back and starting the semester off with a nice banning - call it 2weeks.

Why:
-Personal abuse
-Posting rubbish
-Just because you have a view dont make it right

Karoma since you took a hand in it, id like to ban you but as iv never had to say nout to you before i will leave it go (this time)
-Careful Now-

The Scholars needs to be done up and reopened
There ought to be a late night cafe
Take out the speed bumps (my poor car!)
New carpet in the library



Whole thing needs to be roofed so I don't get wet the instant I walk out the door

Acording to a recent-ish copy of An Focail the SU shop is eyeing up the scholars and thinking of moving in. I also have it from a reliable source that the reason the scholars is closed is the what-his-face that owns it (dolan's warehous guy whose name I can'na remember) wasn't really paying monies to the SU for the rooms he was taking up with the scholars and the SU/College had had enough and wouldn't let him keep scholars open till he paid off what he owes.

My recomendation:
- Bike lock areas witha rain cover, cycling home with a wet bum is not pleasant :mad:

Love if someone did a study on how many parking spaces there are and a rough estimation on the cars there are!

I reckon if someone opened a Subway were the Pharmacy used to be it would make a packet.

Maybe some sort more links with local businesses giving students discounts would be good too.

Train station.

Nicer weather.

Move the exams forward to before Christmas.

keevita

These spaces are provided for use by external members of the University Club only.

Essential maintenance and ITD service vehicle parking
There is a requirement for specific essential maintenance and ITD vehicles to park in specified areas adjacent to buildings to carry out essential day to day service, maintenance and delivery functions.

It was somewhat understandable getting in trouble for an argument, but editting my post to what you did puts across the definite message, beyond a doubt, that nobody is allowed to complain about UL. That's a little scary, Orwellian and generally unfair, counterproductive and stupid. There was no reason to edit my post as it wasn't inherently provocative. It does prove what I've said before though, people won't even let you complain or point out what's wrong. People are so ridiculously defensive and never stop to think.

Plus, it looks ridiculous.

Yes but what you did was complain without putting forward any suggestion whatsoever of how to improve the place from what I remember about the original post. People above have pointed out what could be improved e.g. keevita and gaf1983 both put forward good suggestions as how the place could be improved and didn't have to resort to a needless rants and personal abuse toward others. I personally agree with Nukems decision to edit the posts as they weren't very constructive to begin with.

Cheers
