    We should have some sort of off-topic chat thread, shouldn't we?
    Just to discuss everything and anything.

    you mean not about IT Tallaght! :eek:

    I can get the ball rolling with a quick question.

    How do they get the fig in the fig roll?

    Well, a place for people who go to (/ used to go to) IT Tallaght to chat about ... stuff.
    I can get the ball rolling with a quick question.

    How do they get the fig in the fig roll?

    This was actually asked in After Hours. I can't remember the answer though. Although, the real answer is ... I don't like them, so I don't care! ;)

    Good idea!

    Fig rolls are tasty :D

    I posted you a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally long reply in TGC.
    You better appreciate it! Took me the best part of half an hour to write! :P

    Chocolate mini rolls are much nicer.

    All chocolate is! :D Do you know what's truly amazing? - Milka bar, the one with pieces of Dime bar in it! I got one today in Dunnes in The Square for a euro! I've since demolished the whole thing! :o

    ... Looks like I'll be wearing a baggy hoody in college tomorrow! :pac:

    How come the Spar beside the square closed down?

    and where's the library?? (must go looking for it tonight)

    Also who's the hottest ITT girl (apart from Pika:D)

    does that shop at the end of the building actually sell books!
    looks tiny!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,095 ✭✭✭✭omb0wyn5ehpij9

    When you come in through the main doors, turn left and it's infront of you!

    Yeah it does!

    You ask a lot of questions! :P

    1. I presume it wasn't doing enough business, as there are countless shops of its kind in the locality.

    2. As Bryn said - walk through the main door, it's on your left... Can't miss it!

    3. 'Hottest' is subjective. Depends on your type. Personally, I think my course is fullll of good looking girls, but that's just me and probably has a lot to do with the fact I'm friends with them!

    4. It sells some books. I only go there for the Haribo though! :cool:

    I'm a student.. isn't that what us studious people do :)

    Ok..

    Where do I get my computer login.. I have yet to get my student card/ID
    May be different for evening students.

    Did you go to the registeration day (evening)? You'd get your student card then. Computer Login in is your student number, then your passoword is your date of birth, in the format 02Oct90 (that's mine date of birth so I'll be expecting Happy Birthdays from you all:D).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 429 ✭✭Linoud

    Also in the downstairs one. =P

    And the spar on the way to the square closed because another Spar opened up at the luas stop. So just go there for your needs. And yeah the shop sells books, but I only go there for the lollipops. =P

    And yar. Depends on your type. Do do do. :D

    Same! They'll probably be handing them out in the canteen upstairs for a few days next week, they've done that in previous years! :)

    I can't wait to get my new one! See my charming first year photo again! :rolleyes:

    That's mad! At 16, he should be doing his Junior Cert! He won't be legal to go out until next year ... He'll miss all the fun!

    Im well missing out on all the action,Still haven't been back to College yet! I REAALLY should go up tomoro and sort out actually coming back to repeat. It's all a big mess... my course is'nt running this year apparently! The one year i bleedin slip up:(


    Felix Da Housecat and Japanese Popstars :) No idea, but there's usually tickets available right up until the night it's on!

    Oh... and random question. Are you the guy from Karma? I met some guys from college there ... and some guy recognised me from Boards and his username was Sugar something! :/

    Your course isn't running?! :eek: What about people doing the degree?!

    Oh, and ITT FM begins tomorrow. Broadcasting from 12-9pm every day.

    Live audio and video streaming from the studio!

    I have to sound AND look good *sigh*

    My shows are on from 6-7 daily (Loose Women style show), then 8-9 on Monday and Thursday (Love hour .... how soppy!)

    I'll post up the text number tomorrow, so you can all text in! :D

    Those pizza eaters were shokcingly slow, as for the boxer run around the college, funny stuff.:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 378 ✭✭cade


    Indeed, i'd of understood if they were really spicy pizzas, but no, just plain cheese and pepperoni. I didn't see the Boxer guys...thankfully.

    The Knights of Leon were pretty good, lead singer sounded exactly like the proper bloke. They should've turned off the music after the band finished though, far to hard to talk to people when you have to shout, fair enough in night clubs, wish it didn't happen in the student bar, I mean no one was dancing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,320 ✭✭✭Teferi


    My mates in class are refusing to go to the freshers ball because they have "no money". They're full of rubbish. Feckin' nerds.

Hiya anywho and sorry if i was a bit worse for ware:o


    You were actually really funny! You looked really shocked, I asked if you were ok and you came out "OMG! YOU'RE PIKACHUCHEEKS FROM BOARDS!"

    Pff. Everyone in my class is going! Joke's on them, because they're all going to celebrate my Birthday and I haven't even bought a ticket yet! :pac:

    ITT FM went well today. Loads of people were watching online! Some weird comments though... four or five lads watched it ALL day and just posted crude and / or bitchy things!
    :mad:

    And on a separate note, don't buy 'Go Ahead' mixed berry bars ... They're not very nice. Eww.

    If anyone finds a blue "My Flash" USB key - it's the one I lost on Wednesday

    :( I love it so. It's blue and says "My Flash" on it - plug it into a PC n it comes at "Gordon" (my own particular brand of humour). Someone left it on the Netsoc Sign-Up desk on Wednesday last and that's the last we saw of it.

    I'm considering making "Have You Seen Me" posters
