    I fell in love with Football Special about a year ago thanks to a Donegal roommate. Forcing a mate to bring loads back to Dublin when she goes back to Letterkenny. Amazing stuff.

    They sell it in the UCD student bar, Maynooth take note!

    If you're on the demo tomorrow and want to march with other craply paid private sector students..... This 5 Foot by 20Foot effort will be out http://i34.tinypic.com/t8qdf5.jpg

    Created by coffee, bickering and cheap spraypaint/markers.

    Why has this place gotten so quiet these days?

    I'm being left with nothing to help me procrastinate. I have to work now!

    You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

    Sorry :(

    I don't think it's gotten particularly quiet. It's just gone back to how it was before we were ambused with all the ''I'm thinking of taking Arts - your opinion'' Threads.

    Wowly crap the amount of people who don't log of computers is mad. I'm sitting in the South Campus PACR, there's no class on or anything and I can see 8 cmputers logged on that no one is using. Some girl even left her facebook logged in. It's not that hard to logout...


    Jaysus it's roasting in here.

    I don't even like it, yet when faced with a bottle of it, I can't help but take a sip.

    The proximity to Sainsbury's and their wonderful cheescake is also a plus.

    Wouldn't mind but I used to live up there! Course I was a kiddie so it doesn't count really. Is it anything along the lines of buckfast or am I way off?

    That's when you get addicted to it! You couldn't beat a bottle of football special when you were young, got you absolutely hyper. And no, it's a fruity lemonadey type drink, no alcohol in it but goes well with vodka.

    This is aimed at mostly music students but if anyone has advice please share..

    El Pron and I need a bit of guidance on an essay.. We don't want it written for us, or ideas, but just what the... how do you even go about an essay like this?
    The title is:
    How adaptable was the form of the concerto to the compositional aspirations of composers of the Romantic era?

    now we are only allowed to use the New Grove dictionary to write this, so how does that work? Won't all the essays be based on the same ideas from the book? What about using quotes from outside of that source, is it allowed? I know the whole class is stumped on this one... :confused::confused::confused:

    New Grove is the only online source we're allowed use, we can use any book we like.

    Me too. And a girl from work just left so they've given me most of her hours. Which is great money wise but I'm gonna be wrecked.

    And sleep is eluding me recently too :(

    :D but seriously, first year essays are not hard. A lot of people think they've done much worse than they actally have because, fresh out of the awful lc, they're still thinking in terms of 'out of a hundred'. Anything over 60 is great :) anything over 70 in first year means you're teacher's pet :D

    That's the best thing about non-subjective subjects like engineering and science, either it's right or wrong, it's not down to some lecturer's professional opinion.

    Well, explain how I got 54% in an exam for writing down the questions and drawing a penguin? It's true!

    Haven't been to a good protest in ages. I'd kill you all just to spit in that mans face. Or kill him and not kill you all. Whichever is easiest :D
