    Could anyone who goes to the gym give me a bit of information? I'd like to start going but feel it may be a bit intimidating with the serious fitness people in there. What would be the quietest time to go to begin?

    To be honest I don't even know anything about Tailteann but I have a rough idea of where the gym is. Is there a changing room specifically for the gym? Final question, is there someone in the gym to help with machines etc or do you just fend for yourself? Is there any other basic information I should know as a complete newbie?

    Are you a student in Mary I? When I was there, students and staff had to do a short safety/induction class before they were allowed to use the gym. Demonstrations for the machines, rules, regulations, etc.

    The gym room is upstairs and the dressing rooms are downstairs. 2 changing rooms for the staff, 2 for indoors, 4 for outdoors, with signs on the doors for Male/Female.

    I wouldn't worry about "serious fitness people". :) Chances are they'll be training too hard/too busy checking themselves out in the mirrors to be intimidating anyone else! :pac:

    Anyone else finding getting results to be incredibly difficult?

    What exactly happened? I know the weather was bad, but why was their such craziness in the air (I'm very far away from Limerick atm, so have no idea).

    There was a red warning storm, Windows blew in, trees blew down, the beautiful evergreen near Gerard house fell blocking rd and crushed at least 1 car. All the buildings were in lock down for a while!

    I heard that too! Fair play to the security guys/fire officers though, they seemed to know what they were doing!

    I still think the college should have used their text alert service/facebook/twitter to tell students at home to stay there. Not cancelling the evening lectures was just ludicrous.

    I have stuff to print off in the college tomorrow for a microteaching lesson. Does anyone know if there is a colour printer in the college, and if so where is it? Thanks.

    No good to you now but moviedrome on Henry Street often does deals for Mary I students. It's cheaper than college printing.

    Is it just me (and a few of my friends) or is the wifi really bad this week? It keeps dropping connection and I have to re-login a few times, even if I stay in the same building.

    I'm used to it being awkward, I mean it IS the Mary I wifi, but it seems even more annoying than usual. Bah!

    I know plenty who went on Erasmus together. Call into the placement office and they'll answer anymore questions you might have. They're a friendly bunch in there.

    Thanks :) I emailed them yesterday and they said its not uncommon but no way could a whole group go together, say 5/6 for obvious reasons, which is fine by me.

    So long as me and the better half can go together I'm not too pushed.
