Hopefully. Doubtful about getting in to UCC but should make it into CIT.

Well done

Looking to do something with computers, seems to be a good few careers centered around them. I was looking to do Computer Science in UCC but I doubt I'll make the cut.

Wouldn't worry about it, CIT wouldnt be playing 2nd fiddle in that area to UCC

Yeah I'm not too pushed about college to be honest. If I make it I'll be happy, if not I won't be too bothered.

I like a lot of that car, though might like it as much without the lower front lip.
What wheels do you think they are? Look like 2-piece Rotas.

go to college for feck sake, getting ajob worth having isn't easy these days imo. trades are hard found and having a "job" is no use really.

What do you hope to do if you don't get into college?

If you get in, keep at it. Don't end up like I did, 2 years behind everything. I dropped out when I was 18 and went back when I was 20 in a different course.

Cant't emphasise make sure you like what you are doing, the major reason for dropouts!

Has anyone seen/heard of the red Mx5 that's going around Limerick?

It's red with a red hardtop and it's sitting on the ground on lovely wheels. Probably the coolest modern car in the country!

I have, he does be around a good bit, I always get a flash of the lights off him.Unfortunately though, up close the car is very very rough.
