Come on, there must be a microwave somewhere about the place? Is the one in the chaplaincy the only one about? Do they talk God to you if you go in?

Also... what's the story with re-registering? I keep hearing things about this yet I never got an email about it.

Also #2...the librarians in the John Sterne Library are fab. Other Libraries should really take a leaf out of their book(s).

Fo Real

#1 there's a microwave in the CSC room in house 6. Go in and pretend you're from the Muslim soc. Nobody will ask any questions.

#2 Even if you didn't get an email, register in the Public theatre before Friday (You'll see a line outside). You just need your student card I think.

#3 Agreed

What's the CSC room?

Central Societies Committee?

Fo Real

CSC = Central Societies Committee. It's the governing body of all the societies in college. They have their office upstairs in house 6 with phones, computers and stuff that we paid for. It closes at 5pm though. I'm not their biggest fan due to the fact that its every hack's ultimate goal to make it onto the CSC and because they allow pointless racist societies like Afro-Carribean and Muslim soc to exist. But that's another story.

The most important point however is that they have a microwave.

Larianne

Hmmm.... I might 'get lost' one day.

Also, what's a hack?

(learning loads today. )

Fo Real

We should really make a boards wiki for all these questions.

Hacks are those people who half-heartedly involve themselves in a bunch of extra-curricular activities in college (mainly the Students Union or committee posistions on societies) solely to build up their CV (as if their employer gives a fcuk that they ran an "alternative" music soc for social rejects) or for (deluded) glory. Not all committee people are hacks but a considerable amount are.

I try not go into that building unless absolutely necessary! I think I know where it is though.

Any postgrad common room should have one, usually found beside the vending machines.

We don't need to be healthy, just live long enough to get yet another degree. Whee

"Racist"? Is the Christian Union racist? I'd wager you would never make that claim, so what could possibly make the Muslim soc "racist"? What societies do you see as having a point, if not the two mentioned above? What in the world is wrong with you? This is the second blithely offensive, stupid comment with connotations of bigotry I've seen you make on this forum. I called you up on the last one with no reply, but that isn't going to stop me asking you yet again: are you serious? And if so: what are you on about?

EDIT: Sorry to come off so angry, but your comments genuinely do offend me.

I refuse to engage in a debate with someone with a username as vulgar as "gaybitch". I know your kind already: A militant lesbian who stomps around with a chip on their shoulder, looking to be offended by the slightest thing to start an argument. You blindly lend your support to whatever "cause" is in fashion this week, be it rights for Muslim terrorists, rights for homosexuals or killing animals for fur. You are probably that sad little person who stands ouside the Trinity gates on their own, protesting about the college's policy of using animals for lab experiments, as if anyne cares. I'm embarassed for you.

I have now placed you on my ignore list. You are the first and only person on it by the way. Congrats.

I was gonna thank your post untill you mentioned DUAMS (formerly DURNS). I'm on the committe and can tell you that we're probably the least hacky of all the societies (If you want to know why i'm an active member it's because as someone who's main interest is songwriting, it's great for meeting other musicians to jam with, and I also think we're helping by putting on gigs for trinity bands (especially new ones)- although i think we don't do this enough, which will hopefully change now that we have a PA).

As for why you'd think we're full of hacks, colsed minded as it is, i know that the impression a lot of people get from the word alternative isn't a good one (I'm no fan of it either), which is why i voted against the name change at the last agm.

If you want to find hacks, the phil and the hist are probably the first place to look.

Lots of microwaves in the physics department.

Tarka

Easy on the Phil/Hist, VM, no need to criticize other societies as a way of defending our own.

Did we do something to bother you? Talk to me here, I'd hate to think that we'd done something to annoy anyone.
Internet aside, we're having a table quiz for Haiti on Wednesday, a meeting on Thursday and a listening party/hopefully a t-shirt making thing with LGBT on Friday. Drop by an event and tell us what we can do to not be a hacky society, rather than just taking little pot-shots on Boards.
It bothers me, to be honest.

Oh yeah, there's a microwave you can use in the restauranty place by the cash machines down by the Hamilton.

Think its the SNIAMS or the Physics building? Either way is near enough Physiology.

Handy way to dodge the argument, pick up on her username. Are you fo' real like?

@ Tarka: Well done for organising a table quiz for charity. It's nice to know some societies are raising money rather than just squandering CSC grants on booze. I respect your and Vinylmesh's opinions, and so I take your word that DUAMS is not a hackfest. And Vinylmesh is correct in thinking the phrase "alternative music" is a bit silly. It doesn't make sense, does it? Best of luck organising gigs in the future. You seems to be an active society.

On another note, does anybody know if JewSoc has any events planned within the next decade?

It's not there any more. Health & Safety reasons we were told. Also, they seem to be getting strict about people bringing in their own food into the cafe. Where you meant to eat it so? In the freezing corridor in the Hamilton? :eek:

Ah, respond to an accusation of discrimination and generalisation with... oh, what's that? Homophobia and stereotyping? Bit of anti-semitism thrown in later on for good measure? Cool, cool. Keep up the stellar work.

Jonathan

Fo Real and gaybitch: less of the bitching.

gaybitch

Yeah, fair enough. The only reason I started is that particular poster's constant blanket bigotry - it was off-topic when I got here.

Anyway, the chaplaincy is the best place for using a microwave, and there are always nice people there. Don't worry about hassle re religion: it doesn't happen.

There is also one in the Arts Block cafe, but it is for food purchased there only. However, if you're buying a cup of tea and ask someone working there nicely enough at a quiet time, they may let you use it for your own stuff. Overall though, unless you're involved in a soc with a microwave, make use of the chaplaincy, which you're encouraged to do anyway.

Tar.Aldarion

yeah but I'm at my suggestion.

I'd say buy tea and leave it in a press there if it's what ya into

Yep, I'll bring a bit of Lyons tea with me.

What's the Lloyd building? Computer type stuff? I'll have to act all computery, yes?

Neuroscience, too. We're not that nerdy, I promise....we just like braaaaaaains! :pac:

I witnessed the manager of the Hamilton Cafe unwrapping a shiny new microwave on friday and bringing it upstairs.
Could probably use that one on the sly.

Well I have computery stuff there...yep! Dunno what all thse girls do in there...I think they get lost and end up in there.

If somebody asks you a question you can say...'so...see the new...computer device?' and no doubt they will start ranting on the lastest thing 'cool' thing they saw and you will get off scott free.

Jaysus, this is gonna be some mission to find and use a microwave! Lunchtime will be over..

Also one in the Mech. Engineering building.

That's behind the pav a bit to the right, up the long steps.

The microwave is on the first floor as you pass up the turning stairs, turn right at the top and go down the corridor to the couch area. Also a kettle too!

As someone who once infiltrated that particular society I can tell you they are very wary about sharing information with gentiles. Despite my claims of having recently converted, they never mentioned anything about their initiation ceremonies nor did they share with me the identity of their hallowed treasurer.

Then after weeks of painstaking work my identity was accidentally compromised when a ham sandwich fell out of my bag :mad:.
