Oops, guess I should have checked that before berating you.

Here's some threads (not a search) that may be of interest.

Antagonist of the Year - cantab

dan719

That picture was amazing!

Whether that's a good or a bad thing, I dont know.

But I do post a fair bit........

Hah, thanks for the votes but seriously now I've been out of Trinity for two years, and I'm not even often around here that much. Which I think also means I can't be a hack.

mardybumbum, it's difficult to define a hack... some people see it as someone who is involved in something for themselves rather than for the good of the society/club, others see it as someone who is repeatedly involved in clubs and societies (often at committee level of these), and I'm sure there are lots of other definitions (indeed, I think there was a thread way back when on this!). dan719, I assume, considers me a hack because I argued in favour of the Students' Union and possibly as someone who was very involved in the SU before.

Generally in college though 'hack' and 'SU' seem to appear quite often closely together in the same sentence, and it is usually used in a derogitory manner. Why? Who knows.

Nietzschean

but donal you've won an award in one of these every year since they've started, it would be an awefull shame to break your record over a small technicality of you having something to do with trinity anymore...

Shaddup you!

donal thats a decent enough definition of a hack, but you forgot people who can never leave...having left two years ago doesnt stop you getting a hack award, infact it helps the case for it

Karlusss

I'm not sure I pay enough attention to do most of these, but I would like nominate myself for something because I was technically the cause that set in motion that "What I like about Cantab." thread.

I would also like to nominate Cantab. for everything else applicable, and the Schols thread for thread of the year, for giving me somewhere to grumble about BESS students showing up to the library two days before Hilary exams, etc.

Ok seeing as no one took for the bait for choosing a day to have this very important event, how about either Saturday (as in the tomorrow) or next Thursday or Wednesday (8 or 9th) or the following Friday (17th).

And + 1 for Baza's picture for best picture. Though that may be a sore spot if my memory serves me correctly.

That's a mad selection of dates you just spewed out. I can probably make it to one or all of them. And tomorrow is Independence Day so people probably have some provisional plans.

And why rule out next Friday? Oxegen's crap, so I wouldn't expect people to be going there.

Jonathan

Tomorrow not a bit soon?

I'd be up for next wed or thurs.

mathew

Any of those dates bar tomorrow suits me fine.. Provided there's a decision soonish giving a bit of notice

I only kinda got 4th of July plans a few minutes ago. And they may not even be real plans.

And I'm going to Oxegen. A friend in need needed people to go with so I have two nights of trying to avoid being killed next weekend. But I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end, and I really think he ahs to go to Oxegen so...

I thought I'd see how getting posters to make a snap quick decision rather than a long protracted one would work.

mathew wrote: »

Yeah making decisions and sticking to them...

Ok so not tomorrow, and i'd really like tog so could it not be next Friday sat or Sunday, and I'm working in DCU till 9pm Sunday - Thursday for the three weeks after that. So the mad selection of dates was working around my mad calender.
