Your course was CS wasn't it?

I'm self employed in and around that whole area and I've got a lot of work on. At the minute I'm on top of it myself but if it gets too much I might need a dig out on some projects. If you'd be interested drop me a PM and let me know what your main skills are.

I still think my finals for my B.Sc. were the toughest thing I've ever done, No race or postgrad or anything else has come close.

Hard to believe we were in teh same college... In first year I went out for a pint before my history exams. Needless to say one became two became a session. I was so hungover that I didn't notice that they switched teh papers and did European history in the morning rather than the afternoon

As for teh finals... There was a very cute girl in your class (BSc) we'd "accidentally" meet in teh library in teh morning and then head down to teh canteen for a quick coffee... Ahhhh, happy memories, one of the shapeliest bottoms in the City she had, what her figure did to a pair of jeans was nothing short of criminal

Well done RK - remember last year was such a relief to be finished finals...but then I came back for more!!! Wish I was finished - just one more exam to do and then the dreaded thesis...:(

Of course Blackburn won it, natural progression after finishing 4th and 2nd the previous two seasons
Don't think the establishment ever forgave my beloved Rovers for winning the league and not going away again, makes hanging around all the better.

Liverpool will finish it out next season I'd say, Utd will find it hard to replace Scholes, Giggs and Ronaldo in one transfer window.

As for Leeds, the less said the better

Agree with you about Liverpool, looking back over the past few seasons they have progressed really well. I expected Arsenal to step up by now but they are still lacking that bite and experience. Think Liverpool will improve next year and the other lot will struggle.

And League One is where it's at, everyone else is just jealous that they don't get to play the likes of Exeter City, Brentford and Hartlepool.

Lovely day today, took today and yesterday off work (to rest for the marathon that never was ) Been to the gym today and will now go out the back for a bit and enjoy the lovely weather. Flying out to Edinburgh this evening, at least I can enjoy myself tomorrow now without worrying about what I'm eating/drinking/spending too long on my feet.

It's kind of overcast in Cork today. Definitely note sitting outside weather. Hopefully it clears up when we all get off work for the long weekend.

Couldn't be much nicer here in Dublin... Not a cloud in the sky, warm sunshine and a cool sea breeze

Bring on 4pm and freedom! (Although I said that last week too and ended up being here till 7pm, damn managers...)

Congrats, RK, that's a great result. Just finished first year exams in my post grad and I have to say it was brutally hard. I'll be happy to pass at this stage. 4 weeks to wait for the results.

I'm hoping to go to Tullamore tomorrow. Other than that, I'm just spending this WE recovering and trying to get back into some sort of healthy shape. Student's diet sucks.

Cracking day here in south Dublin, only 3 1/2 hours till the weekend.
It blows having a niggle, this is the weather to be out in but my right leg is swimming in biofreeze at the minute.

Hey at least the sun will be out! I got up at stupid-o-clock to tear around the ring of kerry to do Valentia in dirty wintery conditions a couple of weeks ago! Only a 2 hour drive this time .... nice one :cool:

EDIT: Well done RK!

rainbow kirby

I decided to reward myself with a few new clothes today. Got a hoodie, vest top, shorts, running t-shirt and shorts and a pair of sunglasses, for a total of around €50.

I think I've inherited my mum's bargain-hunting skills, the running shorts were €1.50 in JJB...

Munster_Gal

Man-flu is more of a state of mind than anything else... I've plenty of female friends who suffer from man-flu i.e. they're wimps when it comes to being sick!

(Before I get killed, I get man-flu all the time!)
