Student Card Colour...

Taylor Durden

So, what's the prediction for the colour of this year's student card?? I'd like a nice dark blue.:cool:

Time Magazine

I'm guessing silver.

Pugwash

It's blue. lost my green one from this year a couple of weeks back and asked a girl in the records office when getting my new one.

Taylor Durden

sweet.

I hope its not the same blue as the travel cards..

Pugwash

its kind of a "neon-ish blue" is what she said- baby blue then one would presume.

I assume it'll be different from the blue in '03/'04.

mizz.yelof!!!

oooh i had predicted blue or red, blue is good!

the flananator

I want...Magenta

Nehpets

I'd favour an orange one.

Crash

I've been through orange. its not good.

Better than pink though.

That was a rough year alright for the aul slaggings from non-trinity folk alright.

The amount of mileage you could get out of the "playing the orange card" joke that year was fantastic. That and any potato requests("pass the potatoes"/"can I have a crisp") is to be answered with "give it 800 years".

THE1NE

Neon blue,awesome.
Really wasn't feeling the green or pink last 2 years!

Pet

Orange is just a distant memory, and thankfully. Eeeep, I'm showing my age now..

why can't it be transparent? that'd be pretty neat

It was silver in 2001/2002, looked pretty cool.

There's stuff on the back.

Oh God I really want an orange one now, I could wind my friends up so much. There should be a copy of the Ulster Covenant on the back aswell, which we should sign in blood.

Funnily enough there was an orange one about 3 years ago!

Silver, Green, Blue, Orange, Pink, Green, Blue.

ApeXaviour

I sense a pattern...

Or else a lack of imagination.

Nehpets

No red, yellow, purple, white?

If I remember Ms. Hargaden's card correctly, white is the colour for staff cards. And purple's probably too dark when all the text is black. Not sure about the others though...

As for this year's, blue sounds good to me. Better than greeny-grey, definitely better than pink.

xeduCat

All staff cards are white, yeah. I should be reregistering tomorrow, and I'll share my colour thoughts then.

Personally I'll be happy with any colour, I can't imagine anything worse than those two abortions that were thrust upon us during my time at the university so far...half cooked salmon or half dried snot. Who the hell is in charge of choosing colours?

Those slaggings are so easily deflected by saying something along the lines of "yeah, but I go to Trinity and can get a decent job without trying. Fwaahaa!"

Bes to do this while wearing a top hat and monocle. Or perhaps an orange sash.

Dunno about that now. One lad in particular who gave me a bit of grief just bought a decently sized apartment (including a "room for the kids" :rolleyes: ) and is close to running his own sparky business. Top it off he's younger than me.

Whatever. You can't put a discrete value on education, especially the sort you get whilst fully immersed in a college environment. I know two guys earning €60,000 a year, who are also younger than I am, and they boast about it like they're the Marcia-fucking-Bradys of suburban Meath, but you know what? They're both smallminded and shit-dumb and their jobs suck ass. So fuck them, and fuck anyone who gives you **** for staying in college and doing what you love. I don't intend to rub my degree in anyone's face, and I do not take kindly to people who crassly rub their income in mine.

I went to college for the buzz and to do a degree in something I thought (and still think) is really damn cool. However, 60k a year sounds really nice right now.

scengi

its a light babyish blue. lots of students have them already. it looks ok actually.

Hear, hear.

Wish UCD changed the colour of their student cards every year. Instead it's always the same bland white b*llocks, with that embarrassingly rubbish crest on it as well... Utter cack.

Still... We weren't complaining when you lot had that pink one, that was hilarious...

John

I liked the pink one.

wheresthebeef

i got smart ****ers from other colleges asking me if it was just the nurses who got pink student cards.
green wasn't so bad.

Just wondering, who decides on the colour of the card? Surely the students should at least have some say....

Peleus

aww, i didnt notice half this thread was from last year. i had my heart set on blue for this year... i bet it's silver!

Ron DMC

I thought we had figured out the rotation at one stage.

/starts counting back the years.

My mistake, it's only nearly a pattern, but we haven't seen silver in a while, so that's where my money is.

andrew

I'm hoping that this year they'll go for a change and make it patterned...a red white and blue coloured cross pattern would be jolly well spiffing I think.
