I was out drinking the night before my LC results came out in 2004! I didn't go home at all, just kept drinking all night, not a wink of sleep, went into the school fairly tipsy and said that it was to take the edge off the shock I was about to get! I was shocked alright, did a lot better than I expected.
After typing all that I just realised you were talking about the CAO 0 -

ah dont get me started :P
finished a FETAC in AutoCAD this May. applied to do level 7 architectural technology.
then got my results and realised i could have qualified for level 8 entry, fairly disgusted. but granted my age i'm going to do the level 7 and then do the 8 afterwards if its still viable at the time.
so to answer your question, architectural technology in W.I.T. please God 0 -

Judging by this post, I take it that you're into design. People who are into design like things that are designed well and are appealing yes?? Yes......
Why in the name of mutharraGod did you buy a vectra?!

you do right, never a better time to go back to education. its flawless, great fun lifestyle and when your finished theres a good chance you wont be on the breadline for the rest of your life.
if your in a PLC this year just look as eager as ****, i'd swear they give marks for that, it makes entry to I.T's so much more accessable if you did a ****e leaving cert (like me).
You'l be hacking boards before we know it :pac:0 -

Im actually horrible at design :P i'm more into how **** works
that vectra was class, touching 50mpg, well spec'd car for cheap money, those are my justifications. much more enjoying my turbo petrol now though albeit even more tasteless! 0 -
All you people working towards your careers... Makes me sad.
I'm waiting 'till next year (mature student, good bye 105 points in the leaving) I want to get into Cathal Bruagh Steet to study baking, that is, if I don't manage to land a job in a bakery before that.
I know the leaving isn't the be all and end all but ****, I wish I tried harder back then because it would have made things much easier for now now.0 -

You're trying to tell Mr Petrolhead over here (MM) that a diesel Vectra was class? :eek: 0 -
You're trying to tell Mr Petrolhead over here (MM) that a diesel Vectra was class? :eek:
when driving 500+ miles a week and earning sub €200 quid :pac:
for 2000 euro i got a fresh modern looking car, featuring electric windows and mirrors, air con, trip computer, cruise control, automatic wipers, auto dim rear view mirror yada yada, was a very comfortable car.
cost €2050
spent €120 on 4 part worns and roughly €150 on rear bushings and a second hand headlight and a service kit, NCT'd it. sold it 6 months and 10k miles later for 2300. so really only lost 100 odd quid for 6 months driving, grand
owner approached me last month to say the clutch master cylinder or something had gone, €700 to replace. i got out just in time 0 -

But as I realised I was allways looking at my watch, waiting to get home to go on boards. it wasnt my cup of tea. (dee what I did there?) But I think I.T. is the way to go for me.
I dont have much interesting hacking boards, Id rather be a mod in the motors forum. :pac::cool:
I never knew what i wanted to be until the other week (for the love of god please dont ask why) (aged 20).
But there's two things i'd like to be,
A) A Garda
An accountant.
I'm hoping the Garda are going to recruit soon, if so i'll put in and if i dont get it i'll work until im an accountant but work part time aswell as being a mature student in college.0 -

IMHO its quite the opposite of tasteless to buy a car and bring it back to factory spec. I like that, however nothing can justify a vectra especially the boring banality of mpg :rolleyes:0 -

I done the leaving cert applied and I wish I done the normal leaving cert. The LCA was just a way for me to act the cnut for the last two years of my schooling days. :pac: But if I done the normal LC, I could have saved one year atleast, but whats done is done. So there is no point in regreting what I did/didnt do. I just try and look to the future. But at the end of the day Cian do what you want, if you study bakery sure its experience under the belt. So either way its looking good for you. 0 -

i never tried back then either, got a similar points score to you. wanted to be a mechanic since i was old enough to walk, dad was and my grandad was, i love engines and cars. when i got out of school i spent a few years being bounced from pillar to post in the motor trade and eventually got let go and just said i couldn't waste any more time on the "dream" and had to tell myself it would never be more than a hobby.
then it took another year off for me to cop on and sign up for a course. now a year into that aged 22, i wrok for tesco and have found a new interest i can see myself having a career in.
@ cian specifically, its a bit late now (because doing the course will take the same lenght as sitting there waiting to be a mature student) but doing a PLC undoes your leaving cert result and can get you a much better points score and get you where you want to be. sounds like you want to be stuck into some tasty baps :pac: :pac: :P
also sounds like we're all the same age!0 -

its not a car i'd usually consider, i like to drive for fun but at the time, there was a greater good and i just had no other choice.
edit : except the 1.8d focus i had just gotten out of which was much, much worse.0 -

If you wanted to increase your chances off getting into the Gardai, you should join the Garda reserves.
Failing that you could always become an alcoholic beverage :pac:0 -
