    Has anyone ever heard an announcement about a LIST session, thought 'wow that sounds beneficial', got up from what they were doing in the library and went in?

    I'm unable to study in the library, every time I sit down to start studying I hear a LIST session announcement and I'm compelled to learn the valuable skills on offer, such as "Web Searching - Tips and Tricks" or "Newspapers in the Library". I understand they're useful for some people but there's no need to announce it. If someone wants to go to a LIST session they already know what time it's on.

    I was sitting outside the postgrad study room for the first time today, do they get a bit off their fees every time they slam the door or something? It's the only way to explain why they all do it.

    Well the Maynooth ball was a tad anti-climatic. All over by 11:30 and the darkness only played for about an hour. House party afterwards was much better craic.

    I'd imagine the business ball will be better, that will probably go on all night.

    Also, if it would stop raining then that would be great. I am very hungover and my stomach feels like it's full of gravel, the last thing I need is rain.

    Doubt it but don't take my word for it. Maybe contact security, they should no.

    I get so angry every time I see a mail about the new stupid email address.

    Whoever approved this nonsense, I'd very much like to slap you in the face with a fresh mackerel. You're a moron.

    When I was in the SU I got put on one of those committees they have to keep fools busy, the "Alcohol Awareness" committee or something, and they were throwing around ideas to curb student drinking.

    One idea – considered in all seriousness – was that all university computers, when you log on, you would have to sit through a two-minute film on the dangers of alcohol abuse. No skipping it, and every single time you use a computer.

    If you're ever wondering what your student reps are doing, it's this: stopping the never ending revolving door of preposterously bad ideas that are the product of the minds of bored, clueless people.

    Those committees illustrated:

    I THINK you can still get emails sent to joe.bloggs.2012@nuim.ie and they will be forwarded to mumail as well.

    the only way I ever saw student drinking being kerbed was in 2008 when a lad started selling a lot of yokes around campus, drink consumption went down but the pre portion of parties still on at 6am went through the roof.

    Despite having graduated I still have my nuim address. Someone in work days she tried to email me on it but got a bounce back but when I tried to email myself it seemed to work fine. I'm still getting plenty of spam on it too.
