crap sorry did a search for griffith college of the forum but nothing came back my bad sorry.

Basq · 21-08-2008 10:30am

Cheers OP.

I don't even bother checking the 'freebie list' thread anymore (unless a post is reported in there obviously) as I've applied for hundreds of things in the past which never arrived.

But seeing as it's an Irish freebie, this is more likely to actually reach us.

Thanks, gave it a go.

jayteecork · 21-08-2008 12:37pm

Filled it in, but these things are usually 128MB.
Ie: useless.

Ghost Train · 21-08-2008 3:14pm

Also says "while stocks last" in brackets beside the "free usb key" part, once you complete the forum, so they mightnt have too many of them

I'll take yours so..

Pfft..don't be fussy. Free is free!

jayteecork · 21-08-2008 3:51pm

I've a feeling none of us will get one.

I remember being at a careers show with Credit Suisse handing out free 256MB ones.
I managed to grab 3 of em but they were f ucked.
Anything I copied something onto them the file got corrupted.
Also have a Deloitte and Touche 128MB one floating around.
Never used the thing.

128mb perfectly usefull for me, I'll only be storing lots of paintext and some portable apps on it until I loose it, within a month no doubt.

balls did you apply from this post or the last?

Basq · 22-08-2008 10:55am

Smellls of a scam by Griffith College Dublin..

I'll be on to their law department to seek some representation.

jayteecork · 22-08-2008 11:14am

They had "while stocks last" so they probably had about 5 of them.

this post

ah i don't mind really,i had look through their brochure

Ghost Train · 28-08-2008 7:19am

got this today in the post, the prospectus not the key

there was a slit in the envelope so maybe somebody in the postal service decided I didn't need the usb key... or maybe it wasnt in the envelope to start with, would be interested to know if others get it

bombidol · 28-08-2008 8:20am

got brochure not usb key

Exact same thing - one corner was slit, rest of the envelope was perfect. Has anyone contacted GCD to enquire?

jaykay74 · 28-08-2008 8:56am

Did anyone get a usb key ? seems like a scam by the college to drum up a bit of interest tbh. I think anyone who applies for the purpose of getting the key was only ever going to bin the prospectus anyway so waste of time by them all round.

djb85 · 28-08-2008 9:01am

Also a slit in the top corner of my envelope!

Hmm the plot thickens, maybe rather than various posties it was whoever in the college who sent out the post. (followed by dramatic music to illustrate point). Colonel Mustard in the mailroom with a knife.

Same. Maybe you get one when you join the college, along with a pack of johnnies and a stick of chewing gum.

Mslug · 28-08-2008 11:40am

No key either.

And the evenlope was ripped to shreds.

dlambirl · 28-08-2008 12:09pm

no usb for me

and........the envelope wasnt open or slit

Conor108 · 28-08-2008 12:09pm

Did anyone actually get the key? That was a bit of a sly tactic. If I don't get a key with mine and theres mysterious slits in the envelope, I'm emailing GCD and telling them to cop on:D

Mountjoy Mugger · 28-08-2008 12:14pm

The keys have probably forced their way out under pressure from being in the postman's bag.

All are probably wedged in the corners of said sacks now...

redhead123 · 28-08-2008 12:51pm

Send of for it and only got the broucher!!!

Does anyone know were i can get a free usb....just lost mine

EdgarAllenPoo · 28-08-2008 3:18pm

Nice to see my college fees haven't been wasted paying for pointless freebie usb keys.

phasers · 28-08-2008 3:55pm

My envelope was opened too, some postman somewhere is storing a hell of a lot of files

suppafly · 28-08-2008 5:42pm

I applied for this too. I got 2 separate prospectus' and didn't get the usb key in either of them, Interestingly enough both of the envelopes had a hole in the corner. So i dunno if someone nicked it or what. Its bit strange that a large number of the envelopes had a slit in the corner. Sooo dodgy.

Ghost Train · 28-08-2008 5:52pm

all very mysterious

would be interested to know what these mystery usb keys are like

jayteecork · 28-08-2008 6:28pm

No key for me either.

Random · 28-08-2008 6:44pm

It does say "while stocks last" on the website so maybe they ran out?

Just applied for one today so hope I'm wrong and my postman ain't a thief!

Bros123 · 28-08-2008 6:55pm

No key for me either and didn't see the envelope as the wife opened it!

TPD · 28-08-2008 9:36pm

Got mine today, no USB either. My envelope had a slit in the corner too. Seems like someone at the post office is making a tidy collection of USB sticks.

smemon · 28-08-2008 9:57pm

got mine too... went straight in the bin

no usb key :mad:

Gran Hermano · 28-08-2008 9:59pm

Sounds like the bargain alert is as 'real' as their qualifications

HAHAHA! That's so cruel. I heard they're very open to bribes.

I think I'll give this alert a miss. Sounds a bit dodgy. Maybe the keys are from old ones that people left in the (college) computers after they were finished and forgot about them. But they might not have enough to go around so they're waiting for another year of students to forget about their usb drives.
