    W is for Westland Row at the East End of college, whose useful occupants include a Dart station and a Centra that is handy for both chicken fillet rolls and Pav naggins.

    It's also for Work, the annoying thing that takes place between college years.

    I have a distinct memory of traversing Europe and America between college years. But then I did have a fabulously high-paying, low-energy, piss-easy job during term time with which to fund my jet-setting lifestyle.

    Bump - for the greater good!

    Continuing this on and given that it had reached X, everyone's favourite letter, I have researched this in great detail (googled "words begining with x") and have found one suitable to the Trinty A to Z thread, therefore I feel oblidged to continue it.

    X is for Xenagogue, a guide of strangers. In Trinity, the people who wander around talking about campus and get paid while tourist oooo and aaghh and our lovely campus. Speaking of tourists, the place seems extra thronged lately.

    H is for the Health Centre

    The waiting list for this service is so long that generally people are better before their appointment arrives. However, it is free, meaning that you save €50 or so if you need a medical cert for something. Of course there are the emergency appointments twice a day, which require you to wait for an hour or so in a stupid queue to make sure that you get a place.

    They also do relatively cheap vaccinations and eye tests, and will do repeat prescriptions for cheaper than your regular GP.

    The director of the Health Service is Dr. David Thomas, who is a really nice guy

    Im afraid its only students whose course requires the study of anatomy that are allowed access. :o
    You could always go to a bodies exhibition If your into that sort of thing.


    Edit: Oh J is for the Joly theatre, where I had my very first lecture. :D

    Jeez, Michael McNamara's construction company have been kept busy these last couple of years. I wonder what institution educated his architects?

    Can we file for compensation given the architectural raping we've gotten over the last ten years?

    McNamara's is a construction company.

    Under normal contracts in Ireland, the Architect is appointed by the client in this case TCD.

    Can't blame builders for that !!
