    Our house was spotlessly clean except for one bit. The oven and the cooker. The inspector was giving out yards about how disgraceful the place was... He ordered us to buy oven cleaner and clean the mess up.


    I'm sorry, but an oven cleaner is 4.49 in Spar. I can't afford that shít just for one occasion.

    Is there anywhere in UL that students can use a projector to practice a presentation?

    I'm not living on campus so mine is probably different but our house passed the inspection and there was clothes all over the place and the cooker wasn't cleaned..

    I thought they'd just be interested in checking fire alarms and the blinds and all that stuff :P

    When the library is busier than ever before, why are there less opening hours than before, rather than more?

    Is it not open longer? Opens at 8am, closes at 12 now, rather than opening at 8.30 and closing at 11.

    Yup, open from seven til 2am for the last few years. Strongly disliking these opening hours. I wonder does their boards account take PMs...

    If you tweet them they will definitely reply. I'd imagine though the cost of keeping it open much later is probably quite high. In an ideal world it would be a 24h library. Maybe when the extension is built!

    I'm one of those weird people without twitter :o

    Possibly, but even so, it's only a few weeks and the most valuable weeks of the year for library use. With the huge amount of people using it during the term too, I don't there's a hope of getting a seat... At least last year, if you went in at about nine or ten, you still have a good few hours before it shut.

    If they keep the Main Building open 24/7, would it not make sense to keep the library open 24/7 as well? The library is practically at it's doorstep?

    The Main Building requires no staff to keep open 24/7. It's monitored by security at night who would be on campus regardless of whether the Main Building is open or not.

    The library would require at least minimal staff to keep it open 24/7. As hard as it is to imagine (and trust me, I'd love to be able to say it isn't the case, particularly as I'm a CSIS student who would given anything to have our building open longer) the college aren't closing when they do just for the sake of it.

    Turkuaz is much nicer, better value and cheaper delivery. It is further away admittedly, but worth it.

    Nicest pizza to get delivered? At the top of my list would be 4 seasons or White Star. Any other recommendations? Don't say Dominos, PJ or Apaches as I want something other than those brands.

    The House Pizza is nice enough and very cheap.

    Seconded.


    I used to be a big advocate of Cedar House, but I can't recommend them anymore given their absolutely abhorrent customer service as of late.

    To the person on the first floor of the library who decided to blare their music, if you're gonna play it so loud that the rest of us can hear it you could at least pick something more decent than Taylor Swift -.-

    Went for the House pizza. Got a 16" pizza for myself and a friend for E10. It includes chips, a dip of your choice and 2 cans. Really good deal I think
