To move aside from banquo and I exchanging sandwiches and pennies in the grant cheque thread, and any other random off topic ramblings we all do now and then, I propose some general discussion!

I didn't go all cheesy and name it after a pub, go me!

So why is everyone on here on a Friday night?

I'm broke, moody and have work tomorrow.

Tesco Massacre

I've already given this thread a 5-star rating.

I'm that kind of guy.

HAI NEW THREAD!

I can't find an adequate gif to welcome it though >.<

Wait, here's drunk Ron Swanson!

This is actually heartbreaking.

Fantastic first post though

DB21

Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh, it's all shiny and new.

Bahahaha, I was just lurking around and ended up in the Mary I forum (the college in Limerick) and CaomH_in is the OP of their chat thread :pac: rrrrrrandom.

CaoimH_in

I am so proud of that thread!

FACTOID: NUIM's Student Activities Officer, Ian Russell, actually founded the SU in Mary I back in the day.

How so Joe

FACTOID: It's Rozabeez's birthday tomorrow.

FACTOID: That could be a joke. What with tomorrow being April Fool's Day.

FACTOID: I, too, am broke, moody and have work tomorrow.

How do you figure that out? Is there some sort of list of who posted how many times?

funky penguin

Click the number of replies after a thread title on the forum page. ^_^

This is now a 4 horse race! :pac:

Ahhhhh. Can't do that on my phone.

Also, I'm in the new bagel factory in manor mills. I love bagels! I'm in all sorts of good mood because of this.

And I'll join the fun

Community never stops being amazing.

Shut up Leanord, I know about your prescription socks.

My good mood disintegrated rapidly after I got into work.
Now I'm in a thunderously bad mood.
Grrrrr.

Just wanted to say well done to all of Maynooth's fighters who competed at intervarsity competitions this weekend.

The Kickboxing club took home 2 gold medals, 1 silver and 3 bronzes yesterday, and took third in the team event.

The Judo club also sent two members to the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu intervarsities in Tallaght I.T. and returned with 2 silvers.

Thwip!

Community is my favourite show on tv. Their dedication is fantastic (most notably the beetlejuice gag)

Seren_

I'm slightly obsessive about Community tbh. Can't wait until next week's episode, should be AMAZING!

Nostalgic chats with a certain former boardsie when I was telling him we got a new chat thread earlier. It's Rozabeez's birthday too.

The gold membership thing is actually pretty annoying. YLYL thread is fúcked today anyway :P

tootyflutty

Completely zoned out of boards since election time, whats all this about gold membership, and even more seriously, I can haz general discussion 2?! :eek:

Oh how times have changed.. back when I was a first year *insert old times story about carrying turf to school barefoot*

Seren_

Gold membership is for April Fools! There's been some very funny posts on fb this morning hahaha. Best is Lush (the soap shop) saying they had a new shower gel coming out called Golden Showers :P

Oooh, the intricacies of moderatorship.


Happy birthday, Rozabeez.
Had a picture, but ugh, gtfo, too big.

This week:
English assignment
Geography ICA
Geography presentation

Easter-end of semester:
English assignment
Geography assignment
Geography ICA
Two English essays

And then the exams

Also in the last 29 hours or so, I've had less than 4 hours sleep. So basically...

Daemos

All the English lecturers go on about "The Death of the Author" - do you know how hard it actually is to find in that library? It's a chapter in maybe two books, and you have to by psychic or in my case happen upon it in the bibliography of another book to know which ones

Took me longer to find the bloody thing than it did to do the assignment!

CaoimH_in

* Opens English Department textbook.
* Opens contents page.
* Looks for Roland Barthes, "The Death of the Author."


OR

*Opens Browser.
* Googles "Death of the Author".
* Finds Full Translated Essay.



Mad lazy.

Daemos

I'm not that stupid

It had to be a chapter from an actual book, to check our referencing in an assignment

DB21

This week:
Stats assignment due Wednesday/Thursday

Easter Break:
Another Calculus assignment for my week off. Maths department loves it's students.

CaoimH_in

What?! I really doubt it!

Well, partially true. It needed references from a) a book, b) a chapter in a book, and c) a journal article. I had the bright idea of looking for DotA for the book chapter

Alt_Grrr

Don't have any exams or assignments.
Good times.

Ay, isn't there a separate thread for exam related schtuff!?

Also, lectures != assignments != exams.

I swear physics would be way easier to understand if the stuff we learned in lectures was the same stuff they asked us to do for homework.

Somebody finish this essay for me, it's already late.

And make me dinner too.

You quoted it but if you want you can merge it into this thread.

It'll put the oldest post first.

myself and my younger sister spent quite a while today looking at wedding dresses. Neither of us are getting married at any point in the foreseeable future. I worry for myself, and for her.
