The one on your usercp expires. The one on the post stays.

Technically, I never outright called him a twat, simply said that I wouldn't use his line of reasoning because to do so would make me a twat. Ah, technical skirting of the forum charter

I may be a twat tonight, but I'll wake up in the morning and you'll still be a dickhead.

Whereas you'll be...wait...what? You can't just sleep off twattishness after a good night's rest, ya know.

And next time I sit down there I'll smile with self satisfaction at the thought of someone desperately looking for a desk... After wandering in at 3 or 4 in the evening!

Yes, shame on them for coming in a mere 7 hours before the library closes expecting to get any work done at all! How can they expect to use a desk when you, the mighty Denerick, are otherwise occupied with the all-important tasks like "a wee walk and whatnot"?

Wow. People take library seats seriously.

Meh. Not especially, but finals are stressing me out, so I can either become a grumpy bastard around my friends and family, or I can vent at jumped up little asshats blithering on about how 'capitalism' provides a justification to use library desks like their own private property. This seems very much like the lesser of two evils

Leaving aside the fact that pointing out spelling and grammar mistakes on teh interweb is boring and old, I doubt you got an infraction for it. Mayhaps it was for trolling,I do think, YAR/

If you're going to start correcting people, at least type your correction correctly.

It means I'm taking my massive, throbbing, e-penis to bed. Night night.

He's the one who tried to correct me, and he was wrong. There is no comma.

Where is the love people?
The real topic is the serious ****ing lack of seats in the hamilton library.
For a relatively large 3rd level institution we should have much better library facilities.

Whether you accept that or not isn't really important. What is important is that Coke should not be demand for the anti-humanist eggs/rocks/Molotov cocktails that come my way. I’m voting no btw…..

The reason there aren't enough seats in the Lecky/Hamilton is because of all those ridiculous Arts students with their useless degrees taking up space. English and Sociology, for example. What a load of boll0x! I'm serious. These people only went to college to try and feel important, but their contribution to society afterward will be nil. They only keep these courses because they're a good source of cash. They should demolish the arts block= library problem solved.

Pump Chris de Burgh in to get them to revise faster.

Denerick

Why on earth is Boston not banned? He single handedly dragged this thread off topic, initiated a childish and pathetic grammar war and clearly didn't get my post. Mods can't expect to have any respect if they allow that moron to continue running loose in this place.

EDIT: See, I'm up early, its 10 to 10 on a bank holiday monday! All you wasters probably lazing in bed. Where I to go to library today I would rightfully have the pick of the seats. Getting up in the morning isn't easy folks. I deserve a reward.

He was banned just yesterday. How he's getting around it, I genuinely don't know...

Yes, and you're showing just how productive you are by posting on boards first thing. Brava!

Especially since it's closed, you twonk.

In future when you have issues like this, send a PM to the moderator. That is, if you actually have any interest in anything being done, as opposed to just wanting to get a jab in at Boston.

Bertrand Meyer banned for voting no to Coke.

shay: Boston was banned and then unbanned.

Any more nonsense and I'm going to close the thread. Let's just see how capable everyone is of resisting the last word in petty online arguments. Oh I have great optimism.

I really want to post nonsense and get this locked.

Boston and Denerick,

Any more of this and you're both gone.

Yeah as Shay said I don't see how getting up at 10 to 10 on a bank holiday Monday (when the library is closed) to go post on an internet forum makes you any more deserving of getting your favourite seat in the library. It's not yours. It never was yours and it never will be yours. Regardless whether someone wants to go in at 9am or 9pm they are all entitled a seat and desk to study, just like you.

I really don't see why someone who chooses to stay in bed later than normal on a bank holiday is a waster to be honest. People are probably capable of getting more work done than you in a shorter space of time anyway. So why should they have to get up at the same time as you? Even still, surely the fact that they went into the library with the intention to study anyway shows that they aren't a waster.

And you've made it quite clear already that you think you deserve some sort of award.

Awayindahils

Shocker... I bet you do CS.

Firstly given as this is an internet forum and insulting CS possibly not the best way to go about life. Its a totally valueable and useful degree, much like Arts.

Secondly taking a guess based on the library being talked about which appears to be the BLU rather than the Hamiliton, the marxist stance on coke and through looking at his sig. I'm going to take a guess and say Denerick does History.

Randomness

Firstly, everyone needs to chill.

Secondly, I think Denerick feels he wants to keep the specific OCD related seat he got first thing in the morning, I have no problem with this. Chances are it's in a quiet place none of us even know about. There are plenty of normal, non-OCD related seats to go around later in the day. While I agree that he has no right to the OCD seat or any seat, if he makes a conscious effort to get up early and get that seat then fair enough. Often times you'll find that people who come into the library later than people like Denerick are less specific seat inclined and therefore can sit wherever.

Also this 15 minute thing seems a bit silly, if I was looking for a seat I'm hardly going to stand there for 15 minutes waiting for someone to either come back or not. You could say keep looking around and if someone is not there 15 minutes later than take it but what if the person comes back and says they were there during the 15 minutes, I have no proof that they weren't (unless I chose option (a), the desk stake-out) and I'm hardly one for library conflict.

No one has yet mentioned the dreaded "book spreading" i.e people who make it seem like the desk beside them isn't free by spreading their stuff over two desks. I think you'll find this is actually the root cause of all this lack of desks woe.
