    @Trent L: Just because the personal abuse you threw at me was in an image doesnt make in any better. Its an unwritten Boards.ie rule that once you resort to personal abuse you lose the debate. (And I dont look kindly on people thanking a post that is nothing but personal abuse either).

    I'm sure thebigcheese22, craving your approval, will unthank that post immediately :)

    And you're being very selective in what personal abuse you're choosing to see here.

    No one else personally abused my. bigcheese22 offered a critique of my opinion. You, on the other hand, suggested I "get a life." Attack the post, not the poster.

    Im not discussing it here anymore. If you want to talk about it more drop me a PM.

    Might give tomorrow a skip. Cycling in the snow doesnt sound appealing :)

    I have a feeling that I'll make the trek up to UCC tomorrow and half my lecturers won't be there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 824 ✭✭✭Nova_era


    Or as always happens to me, you could stay at home and then learn later that there was more people than ever in the class.

    Best Wishes,

    I was supposed to be out on placement, but the schools are closed, so we don't have it till Thursday. Supposed to have a maths lecture on Tuesday, but I'll have to see about going, very dangerous where I live!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,281 ✭✭✭Ricky91t


    Just read on the RTÉ live updates page that W.I.T is closed tomorrow and Tuesday...

    I'm in that class, seems it was sent to all students.

    I didn't bother travelling back tonight, will give it a go tomorrow. Need to get going on some essays. A couple days or a week off lectures would be handy to give me some time to do work.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 614 ✭✭✭blankblank


    Also got an email stating that my lab at 3.30 tomorrow is still going ahead :(:(:(
    The walk to college in the morning is going to be awful, I can see a normally 15 minute journey becoming a 30 -40 min trek in freezing conditions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,247 ✭✭✭✭rebel girl 15


    Got an email stating that we now have lectures as normal 2moro - there is no hope in hell I can get in!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,500 ✭✭✭ReacherCreature


    From SU Deputy President.

    Hi Everyone!

    I hope everyone is enjoying the Snow!!


    F**k off. The snow is a nightmare, not enjoyable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 614 ✭✭✭blankblank


    I think anybody who thinks there at risk by travalling should not bother with tomorrow, the college wont be long shutting up if the numbers in the morning are small.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,443 ✭✭✭Byron85


    Interesting. Someone just posted this over on the S.U Facebook,
    I've just got emails from my lectures saying that there won't be any lectures tomorrow due to the weather so i say most lectures will be cancelled! Thats just the politics department though dunno about the others!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,247 ✭✭✭✭rebel girl 15

    We don't have lectures 2moro, some f**king mix up, we start out TP on Thursday when the schools get back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,247 ✭✭✭✭rebel girl 15


    The college are putting peoples lives (both the students and lecturers) at risk by asking them to be in tomorrow. The buses and taxis aren't running, the snow is freezing now and will be much more dangerous 2moro than today.

    The place this morning is ridiculous, its virtually impossible to walk at any pace other than a crawl, a few days off is in order till the weather gets better

    I'll soon find out. Leaving my place on the Douglas Road in a minute.

    I walked down to UCC from Shanakiel this morning. What was usually a 10 minute walk became a half hour walk and a bloody dangerous one at that. Cars cannot get up or down Shanakiel Road. Where's the bloody salt????? Western road was salted but I think most of the small roads off college road are a disaster, especially any hills.

    My building is deserted and I just read that my first lecture is cancelled so I'd better do some project work to make it worth coming in. Be careful if you go outside today.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 224 ✭✭J2D2


    No 9am lecture this morning, Lecturer didnt show but most of the class did. :pac: Would be great to know if they were all called off so I could get some project work done instead though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,745 ✭✭✭Eliot Rosewater


    Well Im glad I didn't come in in that case. Ill miss 3 lectures this morning, but Ill head into the one later by car Id say.

    I was supposed to have Programming in C but I figured Id be able to work from home; just work on some web tutorials today or something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,557 ✭✭✭Knifey Spoony


    That was some trek getting in here from wilton. Frozen snow and footpaths are now a good combination!

    So, who do you go to to complain if you had a fall on the way in this morning?:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,744 ✭✭✭deRanged


    I'm in the mostly deserted WGB.
    walked across town from the train station, no bother. it's not as slippy today as it has been other days.
    there was a fun bit where I started sliding towards the road (with traffic on it) on patrick's bridge, but I stopped in time. other than that it was fine.

    Drove down from Limerick this morning. Roads bad but still navigable. In the 3 mins i was driving along washington st and western road, i saw 3 people falling on their arses. I nearly slipped myself walking in my front door. Whatever person in UCC decided that lectures today should go ahead should be ashamed of themselves. People are taking their lives in their hands out there!! :mad:
