Sometimes in a big class you'll be split into groups (by name, or whatever list they come up with). Or else it refers to MT, HT and TT (the three terms). Or some other random reasons.

Dave Larkin

I resisted the urge to join a deluge of societies, and just went for the following:

Comedy
Dance
Astronomy and Space

I'll probably join the Phil and the Hist soon.

John

When I arrived at the DURNS stand I was already signed up. Now that's efficiency!

Crash

Except for Dave Larkin, I have no idea who these people who joined comedy and that myself and Myth signed up are - intriguing (I was the bearded one who was smoking the whole time )

RagShagBill

I'm pretty sure there were two bearded chaps smoking. In any case, I played my part in the prosposal of a beard society with somebody at the comedy table. Oh, how I pine some serious follicle action.

Crash

ah, you were the one who couldnt grow one? also, two bearded guys, only one smoking. and i was the one without glasses.

RagShagBill

I was the one who couldn't grow one, and several hours later, so the situation remains. As the week progresses, I'll keep you posted. Anyway, those stated distinctions are unclear in that they are almost indistinctive. I'll just have to approach you tomorrow and annoy you guys again, before further annoying you at the Laughter Lounge. I assume you'll be there, stroking your big hairy face.

Attractive Nun

Speaking of beards, that chap (Diarmuid?) from the metaphysical society had a mighty one - convinced me to join on the basis of its fullness. Seriously, for future reference, beards are really the best way to lure us pre-pubescent freshers in. Obviously worked for the comedy society.

RagShagBill

I assume the LawSoc, DUBES and those slutty windsurfers (d'apres eux!) are taking careful note.

Plan on joining a few more as soon as I have a moment free from manning the stands.

I'm very much looking forward to this Dáil bar trip, b.ie, although I think everyone would appreciate if it could be moved forward to tuesday.

Nietzschean

i'm guessing ye didn't see marcus at the surfing one, quite beardy these days

Attractive Nun

Hmm, this interests me. I had always assumed watersports of most persuasions were inherently anti-hair growth. But if a man with a beard surfs, my world view is radically altered.

Off topic: It was actually very difficult to book the Dáil at all this week. As it is, we're only getting the truncated tour (just get to watch a bit of a private members bill and then go to the bar).

Topic: Also signed up to write for the Record, but I have no intention whatsoever of doing so.

TBH I was a little surprised that peopple signed up for the record at all. People were really enthusiastic about it today.

Loads of things I never planned to join. I'm not going down there with a 20E note again. I joined the Japanese soc though, which I was actually interested in and Dance, Capoeira, Trinity FM, Afro-Carribean (they mentioned something about free food), Yoga, the Hist, the Phil, VDP, and more things I can't remember.

The_Radiator

The Japanese Society (hoping to get a bit of Kendo action).
Might join yoga and dance (I encourage all males to join these as they're full of chicks and fun).

Though naturally I plan on joining plenty more once I have 20 minutes to actually wander around the stands properly and get the sales pitches. I've kinda half-joined but not yet registered with the Hist (which, seriously, I should probably do soonish) as well as the Phil and Lawsoc. I still plan on joining at least some of the following: Dance Soc, the Greens, Pubs, Kempo, Players, Filmmakers and Sci-Fi.

I feel like such a whore this week. And not in the good way, in the "I feel dirty and am slightly ashamed of myself" way. There's something not just skeevy, but incredibly dishonest about me flirting with girls to get them to sign up/buy tickets/come to an event. It's also kinda irritating that I seem to be much better at it.

Well, you puerile little chump, I might "have to see your membership card first."

:rolleyes:

Tricity Bendix

Had to join two societies just to get into the bloody conversation room tonight to see my mates. The Cards (I don't gamble. Ever) and the Hist (who are promising Bacarach (sp?) again. Yeah right.)

Also joined Tennis, despite the unenthusiastic stand peeps.

The Phil won me over with Joanna Lumley. I swear, if they let me down on this one I'll make El Presidente's life a living hell.

Joined TFM thanks to some very persuasive (and loud) stand peeps.

Joined Netsoc for no apparent reason. I was drunk at the time. They said I had a chance of winning a giant care bear, but I'll eat my hat if that raffle isn't rigged. I've treaded the line of homosexuality too many times for the care bears not to deserve to win that raffle.

Make his life a living hell? Is that all? Christ, the way you were going on today I wouldn't be suprised if you were to do a Dunblane in Trinity if Lumley doesn't make it here.

In practise lads, the names go into a file that gets shoved in a drawer and probably never looked at again. Certainly in the 12 years I've been with the club, I've yet to see the list ever mentioned by the Gardai, let alone any one person on it.

Edwardius

Yeah, I know it's just a formality, just made a mental note of it!
