    Anyone know if this gets to Maynooth before 9? I'm invigilating tomorrow and the ****ing train is at 757 so just not willing to get up that early.

    Don't think it'll get there before 9. I know the 67A that gets to Maynooth for 9 leaves town at about 7:30, they'd be fairly similar.

    What hall are you in?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,487 ✭✭✭banquo


    I'd say that it almost certainly does. Where you invigilating?

    Small Sports so I'd need a few minutes to get over. 67a doesn't go near me so that's no use. Might just get a taxi. Hate doing it but in all day invigilating then have FAI coaching badge starting at 645 in Celbridge until 10 so don't fancy a 7am start. Stupid trains

    Dont trust that P.O.S bus. Its never on time. And it could be full too. Not worth it. Get the train and use the extra time to study.

    I definitely wouldn't count on it and I get the 66 everyday.

    Bit of a late response but no, that one doesn't get you in for 9.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,977 ✭✭✭mp3guy


    Don't worry, he got in on time :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭PrivateEye


    As a West Dublin 66 man, college never started until 9.10 for me.

    Useless bus.

    As a frequent flyer on the calcutta express, I was lucky if my train even showed up. Seriously.

    I had to explain to my tutor recently that I didn't attend 9am classes because I refused to wander around Maynooth from approx. 8.15am on a Friday morning.

    Nope. I actually have no idea who MP3guy is.

    Man, you could find out in like one click.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,960 ✭✭✭allandanyways


    if you were invigilating second year english in the small sports hall at 3.30 today, i like your aftershave ;)

    if not nevermind :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    I was :eek:

    Note: I considered replying with simply: "How you dooooiiinnn???" but I'm not sure if you're a boy or a girl :D

    Note 2: I never use this line in real life.

    I don't know any Thomas from Celbridge. However, using my awesome powers of deduction I'm gonna assume that you were in small sports hall at 9am doing an exam and that makes you thomas from 2nd csse? If it's someone else then I haven't a clue


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,977 ✭✭✭mp3guy


    That's me.

    "...Unless you fail" remark in our last tutorial was priceless.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    Ah, mystery solved. I can rest easy for now. Now to discover who the person commenting on my scent was and I can leave the shotgun under the bed tonight as opposed to behind the pillow. How you set for linear algebra anyway? It should be easy. David Walsh retires this year so I imagine it'll be all nice and easy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,977 ✭✭✭mp3guy


    I don't think I'll have any problems, it's just a matter of getting the RREF of everything then remembering what to do with that then in each case. I'll just do all the assignments twice the day before. Hasn't failed me in the past.

    Worked for me and I have a masters so it must work for everyone :D Yeh, it'll all be row reduction bar the linear transformations bit. But that's simple.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,977 ✭✭✭mp3guy


    So how did you get in in the end?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    Taxi :( 14 euro too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,977 ✭✭✭mp3guy


    Most expensive lie in I've ever heard of.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    Didn't get home till ten tonight though so the extra hour in bed means it was worth it. Maybe

    I'm a girl :D it was lovely. Smelt much better than a few invigilators that I've got a whiff of in the past :rolleyes:

    1 down, 4 to go. See you on Thursday if you're invigilating 2nd Year English again LeixlipRed ;)

    mwahaha i love internet anonymity

    note to Rozabeez: do not give away my identity. or Banquo. or Kazuma if you're lurking :cool:.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    Oi, that's not fair :( I want hints and pictionary descriptions. What do you look like as a stick figure? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,960 ✭✭✭allandanyways

    ;) on a good day

    suffice to say I'm a larger lady. but my ears aren't that big.

    Edit: thoughts of a copycat tLL thread... "know your Maynoothians" springs to mind


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    Hmmm, I dunno, I'm pretty sure I didn't invigilate anything that grey and tusky today :P Though I was sleepy by half 3

    The tusks are detachable, I left them in the changing room. I noticed the sleepiness, you were making me sleepy. Thursday at 9.30- be there or be square. I might even wear my tusks for the occasion!;)

    I can't just turn up for any exam you know. Lots of people like being paid to do nothing supposedly!

    Well then you'll miss out trying to decipher who I am, which would make a very interesting invigilation.

    Ok I haz to stop revelling in the glow of internet anonymity, I really do.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    I know I've spent too long in Maynooth when I can't even be anonymous on the internet anymore :D
