Official bitch about daily life in UL

sigmund.jung

you omitted a key word there - library.

perhaps this will stop leaving cert students coming in

freyners

Its a good idea in theory but like the gym every semester, this will probably last all of two weeks and then be forgotten about

It's leaving cert/junior cert pre/mock season so its no harm. Saw a youngfella no older than 14 making use of desks on the 2nd floor during the week

It is, though. I'm paying 2 and a half grand to study at UL, it's quite annoying to see others who haven't paid to use up a spot that should rightly be yours.

Not a huge deal, no, but if it's impacting UL students, then of course it has to stop.

I think highlydebased is agreeing with you. As in, no harm that they ARE checking, coz now is the time that the invasion gets stepped up every year!

sigmund.jung

well they just have to get in before 5 and not leave again until they're going home

Chris Martin

I can't see them going around to people asking them for ID...
Saying that,
They shouldn't be too hard to spot anyway,
Uniform wise and the books they'll be using..
There'll be a sudden rush of people between about half 3 and 5ish,
So if they're on guard for that period of time only, there shouldn't be too much trouble afterwards..

Ave Sodalis

Really should soundproof the group study rooms in the library... No point in having them if every discussion we have means a librarian comes to tell us to shhh....

Did anyone notice the amount of scumbags hanging around today near the bus stop?I don't usually get the bus before 6, is this a regular occurence? Lads with sticks and hoods up walking around thinking "where am I", surely their leaving cert. results(or lack of) is a deterrent for these people?!

I think when they're carrying sticks, it's fair enough.

Batons and switchblades, hoods covering their eyes, pants tucked into socks... :P

Maybe they were by the river doing a nature walk?

I like AH...go to any thread regarding drug use or Dublin streets, etc. though and you'll get the most ignorant shower posting about the 'filthy junkies', nothing but nonsense stereotyping.

Hold on buddy, if you saw these lads swinging the sticks at some poor lad with a school bag you'd change your mind fairly quick. Its not ignorance its called having a general sense of cop-on. You don't walk around the place with a stick in this day and age honestly.

You never mentioned them hitting anyone. Anyone flailing sticks around probably aren't up to good but I just don't like the stereotyping thing going on here either.

A lot of people that walk use sticks FYI

They could be disabled and need those sticks to walk. You heartless judgemental bastard! :P

Or they could have been part of a marching band and those were their batons!

Jester252

Shes just sitting there with her pals playing with it doesn't seem connected with the SU

garv123

Does the payprint account on the desktop not work for anyone else anymore?

Daniel S

The slabs going across the grass next to the ERB are too close together to walk on each one and too far apart too skip every second one.

It's like having to do this everymorning!



First world problems and all that... :pac:
