    People shouting about politics.

    'THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN A CLEAR DIVIDE BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH GOING BACK TO THE CELTIC TIMES'

    I've no problem with people discussing politics but you know, don't be so arrogant about it.

    No time on the library computers... my phone's given up the gun on time so I have to send e-mails to myself to get the time.

    The Roebuck Run. Roebuck itself. It's inconvient to walk from where I live to and an annoying to walk across UCD too. Then three flights of winding stairs to my tutorials. :rolleyes:

    If I didn't have a student card how the fcuk would I have gotten in? I didn't cease to be a student while in the library.

    People not knowing anything about History yet talking like they know the "facts".
    Perhaps taking a history or Celtic Civ class would help.

    Maybe it's to stop people from losing their cards in the library?
    I've lost count of the amount of library cards I found jammed into books as bookmarks in the council library

    The mature students who thought it was totally ok to skip the massive queue for the library today. Took great pleasure in calling them out on it when they tried to go in front of me.

    It's to stop multiple people going in on the same card. If you photocopied/handed back your card to your friend then they could also get in. It's also so that they know when the last person leaves the library at night.

    UCD is actually well known for having appallingly bad drainage in most of it's older areas.

    The not-very-competent doctor in the health centre. I had to remind her to ask me if I was on any medication!
    She just said she presumed I wasn't :confused:

    Nice... I tend to go in and tell them what's wrong with me and what I need. The last one I saw asked me why I was there if I already knew. I can't write a prescription. Idiots.

    That's ridiculous. I was telling my bf about it and he was like 'Go to a real doctor' :pac:
