Was on my way to get my massive kilo tub of 100% Peanut Butter in Vitality and it seems like they're the latest store to close down

Ah same here!! (watching, not McNulty

Went back over them on my week off, I'm up to the end of season 3. Season four is the best IMO

Ah, yes. The Wire. Another HBO gem. Filled the gap left by Oz ending on TG4 nicely :pac:

If that pun was intentional you are one sick bitch

The Wire is class. It feels greta to be able to sit down of an evening and watch it on tv, considering all the other crap that does be on. There's hope yet. A new show called Kings starts on RTE2 tonight at 12.20am. Worth a watch (stars Ian McShane.)

banquo

Been meaning to get into The Wire, even if for no reason than it'll get the people who keep telling me to watch it - now including my mother - to shut the hell up.

I was meant to watch it for Sociology, there was even an exam question on it....but still haven't seen an episode.

Your assignment was to watch the Wire and you still didn't do it? Man, you trippin' :pac:

^^ My mate just finished third-year sociology and he got to watch Ali-G in class. If you get to watch great stuff like The Take (the documentary, not the crap Sky1 show!), Ali G and The Wire....you picked a good class.

State and Society?

Why can't my subjects have easy things like that? Oh, I know, because I don't do Arts *shields body and face with arms*

allandanyways

Mod-like question- should we maybe have a thread with subject descriptions/experiences from every faculty to try and avoid a rampage of "Wat 2 xpect from maths?" or "Anybody doin english and irish?" threads between now and sept? (especially after results come out?)

just a thought. Cos I could say quite alot about English and Spanish, and I know the likes of Ro could offer info about sociology and Banquo about music, LeixlipRed about maths etc. (only ones I could remember off the top of my head, I know there's German, Psych., Chemistry, Physics, Anthro., Geog and all the rest floating about here aswell) BUT i get sick of writing it out over and over.

yay/nay?

seems quite neurotic but I'm on a bit of a life-organisation kick atm and think it's carried over into boards

banquo

A resounding yay from me, anyway.

allandanyways

feck it, I'll do it anyway. I've no energy left to organise my room any further so organise the internet I shall. Wait for it- I'll organise my bebo as well tonight. :pac:

Oi! Back on topic...what's the topic again?

Liking the fact that serious bstards seem to be going to the gym these days. I love seeing people squat

Great day. Took the dog swimming, walked around Howth, went to a talk to hear two Spanish Civil War vets (Including a 92 year old lad from Spain), had two of the finest pints I've ever been lucky enough to get my hands on, and watched A Clockwork Orange for the first time in donkeys.

Where was there a talk by the Spanish Civil war vets?

Teachers Club last night, Roma Marques Santo (Who fought in the P.O.U.M before joining with the Anarchist Militias and befriending Durruti) and Jack Edwards (Liverpool lad from the International Brigades)

That does sound like a productive and enjoyable day.

I drove 7 hours from as far south-west as you can get to home again. With sunburned legs and shoulders.

Savage holiday though.

PrivateEye

^Awesomes. We all attempt to do that kind of roadtrip every now and then, but normally it starts raining and we turn the car around :pac:

Where'd you go?

Michellenman

Left Dublin on Tuesday 7th July and drove to Letterkenny via Strabane Co. Tyrone. Stayed in a caravan in Fanad (very northerly tip of Donegal) for four days, three nights and then had a night on the tiles in Letterkenny.

Drove to Achill in Mayo via Sligo the next day, had aspirations of camping but our tent was too flimsy to stay up in the gale force 8 winds so ended up having to stay in a hotel for the night.

Next day we drove from Achill to Kerry, via Galway, Clare and Limerick. This was the worst day for driving, left and 12pm and got there at 10pm that night. Was knackered! We were in Waterville in Kerry, really far west and south. We were there for four nights and then drove home yesterday.

All done with 7 people and their luggage squashed in to a micra and a three door punto.

Best 10 days ever!

Was it cheap?

Did it all for under €300. Including all petrol, accommodation, food, drink, activities and going out.

SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly.

So quiet around campus today...

It is every day. It's summer. Though the construction work keeps the place noisy enough.
