Wanted 10 tips to stop Trinner Transformation

Sandals

So I've been to Trinity now since Sept, and need advice on how not to turn into these icky trinner types that are taking over,

For us lads, you see them drinking mochas with their pancakes in Lemon, with their hair grown to such a lentgh that they can shake it in style, wearing those long navy jackets, with their thick Scarfes, and of course carrying a Man Bag?

How can I avoid turining into one of these.


(Why don't you just leave trinity then you muppet, is not acceptable as a tip!)

Just as a point of information they make crepes, not pancakes, in Lemon - mighty tasty too!

Sandals

Oh no my big mouth, how embarrasing.

snorlax

they we're also giving out 10% discount cards and free coffee vouchers at the start of term.

Thirdfox

They still do... just not that branch anymore - so we marched (all 12 of us) to the other one (near the end of St. Stephen's Green) and demanded 10% off student cards We cowed them into submission and even got to eat inside (normally 10% off only if for take away.)

Sandals, I was afraid of as much when I joined.

It's quite simple. Realise that that level of fashion is just sad. There is a line to be crossed. But allso realise here's nothing wrong with Lemon. Hell, they're vanilla coffee tastes good, and so do their crepes. The person who moans about people ever eating in Lemon/Starbucks is the same as the person who only eats in Lemon/Starbucks.

Realise you can't pull off a man-bag. A guy in my wear has taken to wearing trousers that amount to, in all honesty, leggings. These is the same guy who wears a scarf in lectures. I don't want to be such a hilarious-looking tosser, and neither do my friends.

I still wear my jeans and hoodies. Although I've taken to shirts of late. But they tend to be black.

Happy birthday... and Snorlax too...

What would you like as a present??? How about a man-bag?

Just embrace it, and go with the flow...

Arm yourself with an implement that allows you to fend off BESS and TSM students, while still keeping out of range of their manbag swings

Screw Lemon...

Café Sol is a real coffee joint!

And the cups go so well with my fake tan........

If you're going to be like that... then I'm off to Nude...

Yes, they are leggings. I don't know how he copes with them being so tight. They can't be comfortable.

I don't want to be such a hilarious-looking tosser, and neither do my friends.

That's right. Leggings would not be good on me. In fact, a pink jumper about three sizes too small for me wouldn't be either.

I still wear my jeans and hoodies. Although I've taken to shirts of late. But they tend to be black.

You always look very smart and trendy these days, Enda. You've really upped your game in the fashion stakes. You and your cool shirt over T-shirt look... How many times have you been complimented thereon? One of my lecturers only ever wears black shirts: he has about five pretty much identical ones. Someone commented on this on a CAPSL form, and he addressed the issue at the first lecture back this term. He said he only has black shirts, because they're "highly functional". So there!

On the subject of Lemon, it's powerfully tasty, as is Nude. I don't like Café Sol. Lunch! is very popular among the BESS fraternity-sorority as well. Insomnia tends to attract the less brash, more intellectual among us.

I also wish to point out that I use a back-pack. I don't own a man-bag. I do, however, have a scarf, but it acts more functionally than stylistically, given the fact that I don't wear it in the library over a T-shirt. I can't shake my hair, but Angry Banana can run his fingers through it. Well, when there's no gel in it, anyway. I'm getting it cut next weekend, I'd say.

So it's a record bag but smaller. I used to always carry a record bag, where else can I put my newly bought vinyl?

arbeitsscheuer

Hey, I wear a ManBag... According to that satirical website mine is a "Messenger". Which I think are the ones you'd hold vinyl records in, right enuff...

I think that scarves are very practical for both sexes, there's a lot of drafts and cold spots in trinity.

Yum, lemon makes great french toast. But, tbh, i never really notice the other trinity-ites when i'm in there, i only have eyes for the very tasty looking staff.

Sandals

I had hot chocolate from butler's the other day, I really fear it is happening!

Okay, I understand, sort of, why you capitalised 'man bag' (a truely ridiculous word, I have always thought). I wouldn't myself, but I suppose it is your right. But why scarves? Do you belong to some obscure cult?

Now, the only reason you would become such a person is if you secretly want to become such a person. Do you secretly desire pancakes? Do you contemplate dying your jacket navy blue? Maybe you're a closet trinner.

Oddly, I aspire to be that sort of person, but can't really pull it off.

i desire pancakes every day.

i also discovered pancakes and cheap beer at 3pm on pancake tuesday makes the best day EVAR.

i wear a scarf - i wear a longish black jacket which would kinda be of the same style - and a black scarf when its cold - but i'm still as much of a nutjob as i was before i went to trinity, all it means is that my clothes are warmer (my old leather jackets gotten really bad at keeping out the cold, and the other ones too lightweight ) sometimes these things happen of necessity - though i would agree there's no need for a Man Bag alright.
