Torpidity of TCD Boards

Does anyone else find the TCD boards a bit dead lately or is it just me?

It's a combination of two things. Exams coming up.. and your use of big words.

I thought exams might be the reason, all right. On the latter point, I always aim to be clear and concise.

...final year exams...

Also due to the (un)timely death of a certain person thinking through the internet

there's ebbs and flows - get a good thread going and everyone returns from retirement and people like me stop lurking and start actively posting!

Ah the joys of having nothing to do!

europerson, are you still going to lectures?

Are many Schols people still going?

An odd one. I'm doing single honours economics next year, so I'm going to the EC2010 lectures. ([ASIDE]Yay, waltis is back![/ASIDE]) I've given up on the other three economics courses and politics, but I might pay a visit to some of them some days.

All the TSM-heads still seem to be going. Among BESS, there seems to be a more relaxed approach, but it varies widely, nonetheless.

Isn't Walti back next week?

O'Toole's lectures are the same as his notes online.

How many BESS people would you say still go (%)?


Also, have you been to Thursday at 9am recently? I'd say the poor attendance is now shockingly poor.

Well, I was at a lecture with him yesterday! It was fun: he was talking about foreign trade in goods and financial assets.

Indeed.

How many BESS people would you say still go (%)?

On average about fifteen per cent of those who got full exemptions, with a deviation of about ten per cent, depending on the subject.

Not since I got exemptions. I have good plans for next Thursday: I just might pull it off.

Thought it was next week! No concept of time anymore!

What chapters does he intend to cover?

I really don't know. I was late for the lecture. The chapter references are given on his course hand-out though.

Yeh, I may just have a quick read at some stage.

Seriously, enough of the BESS talk.

Nietzschean

haha is it me or is the bess/law talk the most boring? maybe just cause i'm from the ham end..the talk is really really really boring.....................................

europerson

Yeah, subject-specific talk tends to be very boring.

Crash

So shut up about it then :P

Can we stop with this off topic msn crap. This forum needs a fight to liven it out, and Europerson jsut made the list, as has crash.

What happened to Snorlax?

She was killed in a tragic knitting accident, either that or she sulked off after being disagreed with in the "fight" thread

Due to her lack of experience, when she did try her hand at knitting she was really just asking for trouble. It really is the silent killer.

I doubt she's sulking (she's probably just busy with placement), but if she was then she needs to be less sensitive and learn to deal with criticism.

Edwardius

Yep, thousands of knitters die every year, usually because they're 80+ coffin dodgers (cue guy in reaper costume sayin' "you've dodged your last coffin, Biddy") and somewhere in the knit 1 purl... process thay made a mistake that was so shocking that a terminal case of death ensued.

I faced a dilemma. I could

• Answer Right Side's questions

OR

• Ignore Right Side, seeing as I don't know him in the real world

In this case, I took the former option, for fear of appearing rude.

Sometimes knitters really live on the edge and use 3 or 4 double pointed needles - at once.

Where's the health awareness campaign?

Sometimes i drink and knit.

Tea cosies are very dangerous too - its estimated that 3 people are hospitalised every year in Britain because of them
