    Chisels? Someone lost some or something?

    We got an email saying a bag of chisels had been found, and the owner was to collect them from reception iirc...

    @Cson, I dont know what more a man would need other than chisels...I'm at a loss to think of anything more important :pac:

    Well guys I'd like to have a litttle bitch about the state of maguire's pitches. I know we've had a bad week of rain but jesus you would expect that they would hold up a little better than what they do. I had rugby training last night and it was pure bog at the start never mind the finish.

    And as it's only the bottom section near Kilmurray village that is floodlit everybody trains in this little section which I can forsee becoming an absolute mire after a while.

    Finally I was reading An Focal today and a lot of teams train at 07:30 in the morning due to the fact that there is no floodlit pitches in ul. Can the University please sort their **** out sooner rather later.

    Oh hoho, can you send me on the mail if you still have it?

    I've never had the joy of being on one in the winter. Feel very free to rant on about it.

    Wouldn't all clubs training on it!

    It's now closed following the complaint from the Rugby Club, so no such chance

    If you propose drainage or some such:
    1)Money doesn't
    A) Grow on trees
    B) Automatically go to the Sports Department
    C) Mean the problem will go away

    2)An international expert has advised against floodlighting the entirety of Maguires.

    3)There is a synthetic development due to be open in September on the North Campus, however it is only at foundation level right now.

    4)There is a committee specifically set up following pressure at Governing Authority by last year's ULSU Governers. The current administration certainly has no intention of letting moss grow on that stone.

    That's to address that!

    For my rant:

    Who the fu<k do people think they are ringing up giving hell to a receptionist, asking her "who authorised this Derek Daly individual to send letters?"

    The electorate you twat...that's who!

    She was about to tell him that God was unavailable to take his call before he hung up.

    I enjoy making people's lives difficult who make life difficult for students:D Nothing tells me that I'm being effective more than an irrate phone call!

    The chisels probably belong to a student who is doing woodwork teaching or wood science.

    My rant is that I miss the place something crazy and want to go back! Why UL could you not have a postgrad or masters that interested me in the slightest? Dublin sucks right now...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,593 ✭✭✭✭cson


    Go lecturing here? Maybe?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 195 ✭✭Gambra


    There you are sitting in the library, books out & laptop set up reading away when someone plonks down beside you and takes 15 minutes to get everything out and set up while making the most unholy amount of noise. That in itself is not too bad it's mostly when that person then freaks out if you so much as make a peep. You get the flared nostrils, fast outflow of air and possibly even a few tuts from the person. Ugh.

    I hate doing the conclusions of essays. Always seems like a load of waffle. Still, 200 words left - Wooo!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,200 ✭✭✭Mindkiller


    Both of the men's toilets are out of order in the library.
    Wft man... :mad::mad:

    edit:
    Woohoo. ground floor one is fine.

    The guy that has handing out the Christian flyers today about the surfer from the AIB ad who found God, which is supposed to imply that it;s hip to be Christian, and we should follow suit.

    How lame can you get:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭billy the squid


    I wouldnt mind but AIB was one of the biggest culprits responsible for the state our country is in.

    In case you havn't been fortunate enough to have a lecture in FG042 I'll fill you in...it's possibly the hottest, least air conditioned lecture theatre in ul. I have public admin in there on a thursday for two hours and let me tell you I find it hard enough to stay awake in that class without the oppressive heat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,593 ✭✭✭✭cson


    Ah 42 ain't that bad. Sit up the front if you need to stay awake, you won't fall asleep in front of a lecturer. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 854 ✭✭✭Polar Ice


    I can't say I've ever noticed FG042 as being hot. FB028 on the other hand gets hot.

    with a username like that I find it hard to take you seriously when speaking about hot places!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭billy the squid


    Have lectures in both FG042 and FB028 and FG042 is the hotter.

    ERB01 is like a meat locker though.

    I have that pub admin class too and I don't think the heat is the reason you feel like falling asleep in that class....:P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭Mossin


    There is an awful whistling sound in the library from the wind howling around..
    On the second floor its almost impossible to concentrate because of it!

    Luckily I have headphones with me...but I can still hear the noise!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,351 ✭✭✭ninty9er


    The UL version of this is what's annoying me now!

    from 4:40 to 5:00 and 6:15-6:45

    That class really is brutal. I love how everyone with a laptop in it eventually starts playing solitaire.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 354 ✭✭snazzy


    The constant rain.
    And then roaming around for a room in Schuhman when your jeans are soaking making that lovely denim against denim sound that lets people know you are coming. :mad:

    And a very lonely weekend up here rather depressed me :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 138 ✭✭toushea
