I'm pretty certain that "Free Refills" was a deal Subway had for like the first year, then everyone just grew accustomed to it and just do it when they want.
That and the staff dont really care

Nah, Free Refills are actually something that was borrowed from Subway's American roots. Every fast food place I encountered in the US does refills, apparently - even most cafés like Starbucks let you refill cups at a small fee rather than charging you for a full one again.
Apparently the drinks cost a fast food place like 10c a cup and they can make mad profits on it while keeping the costs of food low, but because people in Ireland don't expect it, nowhere really offers it.

I'm big into Applied Maths. I'm not finding it easy but that's why I'm loving it right now. Actually challenging work seems to be far easier to motivate me to do - moreso than motivating me to parrot learned notes on Mo Ghrá-sa (idir lubíni) which is damn near impossible.

here lads who has seriously knuckled down yet? I feel like we havent done anything yet as school feels so laid back at the moment so I only look over things for an hour or so every other day but I have a major guilty feeling hanging over me constantly over it.

Colm!

^kind of like myself... but I don't have the guilt.

Come after the October mid-term you will feel that you need to start knuckling down and face reality. Just my opinion.

What are ye all doing for your comparatives? We're doing the film "I'm Not Scared" which is brilliant so far (half way through), "Circle of Friends" which I haven't read yet but don't like the look of, and "How Many Miles To Babylon?" which I really like.

I think we're doing that same film, haven't watched it yet though. For the books we did My Sister's Keeper and Circle of Friends. I actually thought the Circle of Friends was grand once you get into it after the first few chapters. Don't watch the film though, it'll confuse you to bits!

Love Irish debating especially as I'm doing the Gael Linn competition this year, anyone else doing it?

My room is now empty apart from the bed, wardrobe, dressing table, locker and a ton if empty shelves. It looks so miserable.

Now to buy some paint.

So many tests! Parent-teacher meeting Wednesday so teachers are piling it on.

Cruel Sun

I have a Bio test on Tuesday which I'm not so worried about, but I've got a Maths test coming up and I know the teacher is skeptical about me doing Higher, so the pressure's on!

Tried to study today... Super Sunday wouldn't let me :cool:

Poufsouffle

I had five tests last week and I have one (so far) next week. Typical. :rolleyes:

No 254 days, the last day doesn't count because you spend it sh1tting your pants.

So I have to write an Irish essay, about the recession *surprise surprise* but I have seem to gone blank at this sentence - how would you say "who should we blame?" .. Is it "cé ba cheart dúinn on milleán a chur?" I think I have it completely wrong, I am usually good at Irish but can't figure how to say what I want to say! Any help?

'Cé ba chóir dúinn an milleán a chur ar?' perhaps? Not 100% sure though, try asking in Teach na nGealt people over there are very helpful.

Slow Show

Starting to have my doubts over the how realistic these sraiths are lads...I mean, I had my doubts back in Sraith 6 when those two lads managed to snag a job in a hotel in Dublin as if it was the easiest thing in the world but really, who calls a band 'The Crazy Crew'? It all seems very wrong to me, I personally think we should all be concerned. Very concerned indeed.

Sounds fine to me! But as another poster said, Teach na nGealt are so helpful. Just don't do what I did in my oral and try to say "who is to blame" and let it come out as "cé ar an locht". :P
