    Who's that old guy that's always sitting on the stairs beside elements in the science hub.

    Have you seen him?
    Who is he?

    I felt this issue need's to be raised.

    Do you mean this guy?

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    yea that just the "UCD Bum" he usually just sits there and minds him own business,
    its funny watching people walk down from th.C and try either walk around him and even hop over him, but most just walk back up

    He used to sleep on the bottom floor of the physics building. I have reason to believe that he knows Pat Patterson as well.

    I believe the Science hub is a building that exists in a parallel universe where there is no Pat Patterson, where students eat at the 'Centre Club' having previously attended lectures in the 'Newman Building' and submitted forms in the 'Tierney Building.'

    The bum is deadly. Rumor has it he came across a girl being raped and scared the guy away. Thats why he's allowed stay in UCD and he gets free meals in the Restaurant. Haven't had the cheek to ask him to get me a free meal yet :p



    Don't tell me Pat Patterson is dying... We must strive to spread the word to the uninitiated.

    Yeha it must be the anti-graffiti walls in the jacks these days, services really know how to wreck the toilet buzz.

    He is the UCD Bum. Nice quiet man. Trinity's mascot Matt the Jap is dead. Ours is living and breathing and is the single reason we are better than Trinity, although Chuck Norris and Pat Patterson contribute too.

    It would upset me if the current science hub still is though.
