He does like Six Feet Under, but in the context of his general amazingness we’ll forgive him that. All in all a super cool blend of virulent cynicism and absolute apathy- everyone please put your hands together and resist the urge to become naked, we know him, we love him (though he’s coolly indifferent to us at best), our Nicky Wire hating, Christina Hendricks loving, Corkonian corker of a mod...
KnifeWRENCH!
Thank you Caleb Rich Rainfall for that perfectly adequate introduction. I hereby deem it to be of "acceptable" standard.
First in, woohoo! Can I haz medal plz?
No. No you may not.
Do you enjoy modding this nut house C&H or is it a pain in the backside?
It's grand most of the time; there's hardly ever any trouble (I just jinxed that now, didn't I) and whenever any bad shit does go down it's always either Insect or Piste who's online! :pac: So yes, I do enjoy it. One thing I don't like doing is having to infract or ban users who I get on with, but rules is rules and I try to be as impartial as I can.
Best C&H moment/thread/post yet?
Best moment - I don't know if I could pick just one. But the Jizzlers was definitely a highlight (even though I didn't win anything. :mad: Yes, I am still bitter....) The Jizzlers showed how much the forum has grown and how much of a community has formed, and I think that's really cool considering the huge amount of opposition to this forum before it even got set up.
Best thread I think is "Soundtrack to Your Angst" just for the sheer amount of awesome music (and some, let's be honest, crap!) that's in it.
Best post? Easy:What did one bean say to the other bean? Hello bean!
What's your favourite Interpol song?
Untitled. One of the most perfect intros to an album you'll ever hear in your life. A close second would be The Heinrich Maneuver, which is the catchiest most awesome pop song ever and yet manages to retain insane coolness. :cool:
Have you ever seen them live before?
Nope. I'm very excited at the prospect of November now.
Were you shocked and amazed that time we got to meet deise and soccy in Stephen's Green?
I was. It was an extraordinary sight. I think it was quite rude of them not to come over and say hello though....
If you could be any type of vegetable in the world, what would you be and why?
Erm....zucchini. Simply because it's a funny word.Favourite UCC boardsie? *cough * cough
Caleb Rich Rainfall will kill me if I don't say her (but of course it's really you deise!)
What is your top 3 favourite bands?
Very tough choice. I'm gonna go with Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead and The Breeders but there are at least 10 other bands that would vie for fourth place.
What is your favourite book?
Don't really have one absolute favourite, but A Clockwork Orange is pretty amazing. The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy is also brilliant.
Favourite square number?
i² - it does so much!Deleted User wrote: »Favourite movie?
I'm not much of a movie person. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a timeless classic that's always gonna be hard to top. Another contender (even though it was only released last year) is Inglourious Basterds. I really love that film.
Favourite food?
Walkers Thai Sweet Chilli crisps - OMNOMNOM.....
Favourite class you've had so far in your course?
On the physics side, Nuclear and Particle Physics is fascinating. On the Maths side, Graph Theory is really cool.
If you hadn't become a maths/physics nerd, what other course might you be doing?
Probably Geography, as that was my favourite subject in school after Maths and Physics.

Generic:
- Favourite meaning of \o/?
Person cheering. I used to love the 'vagina' interpretation, until someone pointed out that this would make o/ 'half a vagina'. That was not a pleasant thought.....
- Do you like to dance? If not, whyever not? :O
I love dancing, but I need to have a couple of drinks in me before I do it. Also, I use the word dancing in the lightest sense of the word. I have no sense of rhythm whatsoever.
- What irritates you most about society, and what do you like most about it?
Oh God. I could write a thesis on the things that piss me off about society.
Scumbags is an obvious one; those so-called tough **** who just hassle people on the street for absolutely no reason sicken me. Anyone who attacks or impedes an emergency service vehicle deserves to die in a house fire or similar; it would be karmic retribution.
Homophobia also really pisses me offt, as does the idea that a loving couple can't get married and adopt kids just because they're the same gender is really hard for me to get my head around.
What do I like about society? The fact that the vast majority of people you encounter in life have at least some shred of decency. It's reassuring to feel that the entire universe isn't full of pricks who are just out to get you.
Others:
- Maths or physics, and why?
I hate both equally! :pac: But I'm gonna say Maths, simply because I can't stand experimental physics. I'm much more of a theorist than an experimentalist, and there's more scope to go down that route in Maths than there is in Physics.
- What do you think the nicest branch of maths is? Like, I think analysis is pretty, but you seem to hate it.. :pac:
I don't hate analysis - I just hate having to study it! I prefer calculus to analysis, and I think abstract and linear algebra are both very "nice". Although my last abstract algebra exam was a failure of UK-Eurovision entry proportions. 
- Nicest flavour(s) of ice-cream?
CHOCOLATE! Without weird stuff lurking beneath it, like nuts or frickin' slices of banana (Onion will know what I'm on about here!)
Toffee and strawberry are also really nice. I don't like plain vanilla - it's way too bland.
As for favourite brand, you can't beat Ben & Jerry's.
- Any weird phobias?
Nail files; I cannot stand to be in the same room as someone filing their nails. Even the thought of it makes me shudder; the noise of an emery board against nails is torture.
I'm terrified of wasps, but I think as phobias go that one is quite rational. Coz they can, like, sting you and stuff.....
- Which are more adorable - kittens or puppies?
Both are adorable, but kittens edge it slightly. They're less work; puppies can get very annoying when they'r hyper whereas kittens maintain a constant level of AWWWW.....
- Favourite place(s) you've visited, in Ireland and/or elsewhere?
Favourite place in Ireland is probably Dublin. I just love being in the city. As for countryside, Wicklow is quite a nice county. And parts of Kerry are stunning, scenery wise.
- If you could time-travel to any place and any time in the past or future, where and when would it be, and why?
I'd definitely go to the future, as I don't think returning to the past would be all that fulfilling. I'd be much more interested to live in the future than to live in the past. What year would I go to? I dunno - I'd use a random number generator or something!I once heard that UCC was massive but the lectures are crap, would this be a correct statement?
Well "massive" is a relative term; it's a large university but it wouldn't be massive compared to, say, UCD.
As for the lectures being crap, it totally depends what course you're doing. I've heard conflicting reports of the various departments. But at the end of the day, a degree from UCC is generally just as good as a degree from any other 3rd level institute in Ireland.
Favourite colour?
Green.
Favourite day of the week and why?
I've always liked Thursday; I don't know why, there's just something about it.
Do you enjoy being a mod? If so why?
I do enjoy modding because it's a responsibility, and I'm really grateful for the fact that the admins had enough trust in me to let me do it. Also boards has given me a lot and I like to give something back.
I mostly enjoy it for the power though; there's nothing quite like banning someone who irritates me!Why have I never seen you in real life? Especially despite the fact we were apparently both in the Aula Maxima at the same time last Thursday...
Well I dunno about you but I generally didn't go to lectures for a lot of college this year, for various reasons. As for Thursday, I probably didn't notice you because I was too busy panicking about Complex Analysis (which thankfully turned out to be an ok exam.)
I do think I saw you outside the library one day during the study motnh, eating a sandwich. But I was too embarassed to go over and say hello in case I was wrong.
Btw you (and any other C&Her who goes to UCC) should go to the UCC forum meetups, if there are some next year. They're generally a good laugh.
/shameless plug for other forum :pac:Kerry or Dublin
If I'm in a shopping mood, Dublin. If I'm in touristy sightseeing mood, Kerry.
Kerry people or Dublin people
Kerry, since I don't really know any Dublin people that well. Whereas I know a good few Kerry people, and I'm about 25% Kerry myself! We hate to admit it, but Cork people and Kerry people really aren't that different.
If you were told by the Admins, you could ban any C&H regular for no reason at all. Who would it be?

You're welcome!
So, any pets?
A stray cat that came to our house nearly three years ago. We fed him once, and he hasn't left since. We never even named him; we just call him "The Cat" and feed him whenever he whines at us!
We used have pet fish in a pond in our garden. However, they've pretty much formed their own ecosystem since they feed off the insects that are on the water and have been breeding successfully for the past three or four years. So we no longer keep fish as pets, but instead coexist with wild fish in our garden!
Are you a fan of the Harry Potter books?
Yes, but I was very disappointed with the last book. The ending was rubbish.
Favourite cheesy chat-up line?
"Nice shoes. Wanna fcuk?" is always a good one. Another personal favourite is "You put the sexy in dyslexia" I have never used a chatup line in my life though; I have neither the balls nor the stupidity to attempt it.
Heard any good jokes recently?
How many feminists does it take to change a lightbulb?
That's not very funny....
More of an "anti-joke" than a joke, but it made me lol heartily!RandomUserName! wrote: »Favourite Six Feet Under character?
Brenda is a legend!
Going out or staying in?
Depends on the night, but I generally prefer going out.
Best thing about college?
Living away from home, making new friends, experiencing life for yourself more than you ever thought you would. Oh yeah, and education blah blah blah good job blah blah... :pac:

But I guess I'd go with the four people I'd love to meet most; Stephen Fry, Gary Larson, Bjork and Albert Einstein.Tom Carroll or Alexi?
Tom Carroll is possibly the greatest man who ever lived, as this film clearly shows! Alexei is cool too, but I only had him in 1st year.
Favourite bar in Cork?
I really like The Quad.
Old Bar or New Bar?
Old Bar; go there more often. New Bar is nice too though.
Right back at ya!
Any guilty pleasures?
The Eurovison.
And Desperate Housewives.
Drink of choice?
Alcohol wise, Kopperberg Apple & Lime is lovely, but very few pubs actually sell it so I usually settle for Bulmers. If I'm doing shots, tequila is the best. In terms of non-alcohol drinks, Coca Cola is the greatest tasting liquid ever invented. I also drink loads of milk; can't beat a glass of ice-cold milk.
Hats; yeay or neay?
Yay on other people, but they don't suit me at all.Religious beliefs?
Apathetic agnostic; I have no idea if God exists or not, and either way I don't care.
Political beliefs?
Socially, I'm very liberal but I'd be a bit more conservative on economical matters. There's no one political party I support; I kind of alternate between them.degausserxo wrote: »What was the last thing someone gave out to you for?

Oh, I think you know the answer to this!
Who was your favourite teacher in secondary school?
My Leaving Cert English teacher was quite a legend. He made me really enjoy my most hated subject in school, which is quite remarkable.
What's your favourite item of clothing, and what makes you like it?
My luminous neon-stripe hoodie (the one I'm wearing in my Facebook photo) It's the only item of clothing I own that has a 100% scoring success rate on nights out!
When you were little, was there anything you wanted to be when you grew up?
Well I wanted to be a lawyer for ages, but that just came from watching too much Ally McBeal.
What's your favourite restaurant/café/place to chill in Cork?
Tribes, although they've gone down in my estimation since they took strawberry cheesecake off the menu. :mad:
What's one of your happiest memories so far this year?
Switzerland!
Would you rather be reincarnated as a velociraptor or an awesome, bamboo-hungry panda?
Well if I was reincarnated as a velociraptor, I'd be the only one of my species, which would be quite lonely. So it would have to be awesome bamboo-hungry panda.
McInerney in Speedos. How do I remove the image from my brain?I have tried. It is impossible. You'll just have to learn to live with it. If you could relive any day in your life, what day would it be, and why?
A night out I had at the end of January this year. It ended in me being beaten up and robbed. I woke up in a stairwell in some dodgy flat complex covered in blood with a huge swollen face. My phone, wallet and watch had all been stolen. If I could go back to that night, I'd be a lot more careful and ensure that that didn't happen to me.
What is your favourite smell?
I love the smell of toast. Never fails to make me hungry... Also love the smell of curry, coconut and petrol.
If you had to eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would you pick?
Walkers Thai Sweet Chili! Seriously, they are the greatest crisps ever invented. And they are lethally addictive.
If you were given a blank piece of paper and a pen, what would you write or draw?
Some wanky piece of modern art that has no meaning or significance whatsoever but appeals to some pretentious knob who'd buy it off me for millions.SarcasticFairy wrote: »If Aoibheann and I were to cover you in glittery eyeshadow, which colour would you like it to be?

Tribes, in Cork.
In UCC, Kampus Kitchen. Just because I always meet someone I know there.
Beer or spirits?
I hate beer - cider ftw. Spirits are ok, but too many in one go leads to some very bad things happening.
Whats your standing on the fact that UCC now has nuclear rods possibly a couple of floors down in the building you are in every day?
I think it's pretty cool! I hope we get to do experiments with them next year. It would also be a great oppurtunity for "Inanimate Carbon Rod" to run for President of the SU! (I know it's not carbo, but the reference wouldn't work otherwise >.>)

Cos, because it's the real part of Euler's identity. Sin is only the imaginery part, the big loser!
Were you astonished to learn that the Complex numbers cannot be ordered?
No, but I'm slightly surprised that you know this. We weren't taught that proof until this year.

But yeah, I wasn't astonished as it does make sense when you think about it.

Being told I'm hot is always nice, although it's only ever drunk/desperate people who say it to me.
5 things you like about yourself?
I'm the self-loathing type and genuinely can't think of 5 things. I suppose I like the fact that I'm open minded, have a pretty good sense of humour and am fairly intelligent.
Languages you'd love to learn to speak?
I'd love to understand Chinese/Japanese writing; it looks beautiful when written but unfortunately sounds awful when spoken. I like the sound of Portuguese, but I don't think I'd have much use for learning it or much oppurtunity to ever speak it.
Any fears/phobias?
Wasps and nail files. I also have an intense hatred of tomato ketchup that borders on being a phobia; I have had to move away from people who were eating too much of it.
Any interest in politics?
Kinda. My favourite thing about elections is watching the election coverage on the news; I always get excited when a result comes in! There isn't any one political party I follow though. It'd be much easier to be an American; I'd love if we had some equivalent of the Democratic Party here.
As for the greatest world leader of all time? Josiah Bartlet.

Unfortunately yes, I'm really ticklish.

Guilty pleasures?
Already answered, but I'll reluctantly admit again to being a fan of the Eurovision and Desperate Housewives.
Bottled water,yay or nay?
Depends on the brand. Tipperary and Vittel are both lovely. Evian and Volvic are both nice but I don't drink them due to their awful ads (rollerskating babies and cheeky volvics? Fcuk off...) Deep Riverock is meh; I'll only drink it if there's no other option. Ballygowan is awful - has a really bad, metallic taste.
Proudest achievements?
I did really well in my Junior and Leaving Cert exams. Also I'm proud of myself for making it this far in college, despite being depressed and intensely hating my course. My results are out in two weeks and I know I definitely failed one exam but fcuk it, the fact that I even made it this far is an achievement for me.
Best "mistake" you've ever made?
Doing Geography for my LC instead of Chemistry. I really wanted to do both subjects but unfortunately they clasehd and I had to choose between them. My careers adviser urged me to pick Chemistry but eventually I went for Geography, and because of that I didn't have any "matching" subjects for LCVP and therefore couldn't do it. So I got to skip LCVP while everyone else in my year was forced to do it. As far as I'm concerned, LCVP is a pointless subject that requires way too much work for a maximum of 70 points. The extra 2 classes of study a week was a huge benefit, and I know I would have done poorer in my exams if I was made do LCVP.
What inspires you?
Good music by talented people.
How would your friends describe you?
electro~bitch summed it up pretty well in the introduction: a mixture of virulent cynicism and absolute apathy! I would say my friends would call me funny, honest, moody and stubborn.
Do you dream in colour?
Yes. I would like to have a black-and-white dream some time though, would be pretty cool.Your most frequent mood?
Apathetic.
People or technical person?
Not great at either, but you can beat computers if they annoy you. That makes them better than people.
Enjoy football or not?
I'm a casual supporter. I do know a good bit about football and there are periods where I follow it but then there are periods when I drift out and stop caring. I'll probably watch a good bit of the World Cup though.
As for playing football, Stephen Hawking has a better chance of making a national football team than I do. I am absolutely rubbish.
Strangest place you've spelt?
Erm....I don't get this question.
Favourite ice-cream?
Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie. Also love those Cadbury Crunchie ice creams that have popping candy in them!
Any plans for this summer?
None whatsoever.
Like your college course?
It's a love-hate relationship. It's fascinating but difficult, and exams are a bitch.
Attitude to life?
Everything is meh. Again to quote Chris Miles "**** it". I'm a strange creature; I worry about everything, yet am also apathetic towards everything. I get worked up about things that don't even bother me.
Favourite proverb?
"Life is like a box of chocolates; it's shit for diabetics" My friend Ben told me that one; I've no idea where it comes from, so it's entirely possible that he made it up.
Did you like school?
I hated primary school and 1st-3rd year of secondary school. Then in 5th Year our teachers stopped treating us like children and started treating us like adults. 5th and 6th Year were definitely my favourite years of school, and I actually missed the place when I left. Whereas in 3rd year, I couldn't wait to leave.
Member or any clubs/organisations?
I was the social secretary of the UCC Physics & Astronomy Society (PhySoc) :cool: And I'm an ex-officio for next year; basically I'm still on the committee but don't have to do anything. It's perfect.
Like plays? If so, favourite?
The only play I've ever actually seen was a tiny prodcution of "An Trial"; our Leaving Cert Irish class went. For Leaving Cert English, we did "Macbeth" and "Juno And The Paycock". I did enjoy "Macbeth" and would like to read more Shakespeare. There are copies of "Merchant of Venice" and "Julius Caesar" somewhere at home but haven't gotten around to them yet.
Favourite food?
Already answered! Walkers Thai Sweet Chili; it's like sex, but in crisp form!
Most embarrassing childhood phase?
Oh my whole childhood was embarassing; I was an irritating, precocious and very immature little shit. I don't think I went through any particular phases though.

So I'm gonna give you a few different questions.
Do you love, looove or looooooove Eurovision?
Favourite song this year in the Eurovision?
Do you like chilli? If not, why? And you can't say "I've never tasted chilli before" because that's just bold.
Favourite bean?
Mickey or Minnie?
Pluto or Saturn?
A monkey or chimpanzee?
Are you a firm believer of the Irish language?0 -
