Found This Fork Sir

Well, with a name like ficheall, how could he not be affiliated?






Yes, despite my better judgement I have returned to this thread...

Corvo Attano

Just for me

Found This Fork Sir

Oh naturally, it would never be out of sheer boredom or any such thing, I just had to speak to my new bestie

Corvo Attano

Thats the spirit. Because when my besties turn on me bad things happen to them.

Found This Fork Sir

I never would have guessed, you've never shown any violent tendencies thus far.

Corvo Attano

Hooch is crazy.

I'm bringing back the corrib topic. Is it really worth going there? I mean, wherever you go you will meet mates (unless you are some kind of antisocial person). But is it true that in corrib you will have the lifetime crack?
I just wonder that if you spend a whole year in that place, and being a type of a person like me that loves to party. Will it not affect your grades too much? Also how is the whole thing with bringing mates over, it really does sound like being a prison block. A mature man not being allowed to stay with a girl for the night at his place? Madness.. (Please don't reply with a Sparta quote xD)

Seriously, live in corrib. What I'd give to go back to first year and live in corrib all over again. Don't worry about first year exams because:

1. They're usually quite easy to do well in. A few weeks cramming beforehand will get you through them no bother

2. In most cases first year doesn't count towards your degree

Also, for bringing people back (girls or friends or whatever) There are plenty of places where you can slip under the fence or hop over it. Once your past the fence you're in.

Corrib is a bit like crossing the American Border into Mexico, if you can get in the security tend not to care what you do provided you don't go mental. In my year the only time parties were shut down was when they got out of hand (usually freshers week and rag week block parties) But these parties had hundreds of people at them so they HAD to shut them down really.

Found This Fork Sir

Corvo Attano

Found This Fork Sir

I dont like parties and Im not going to live in Corrib, am I doomed socially? (Im awkward and a bad conversationalist, just in case you thought I was an outgoing person)

Just give it to me straight.

Ahh but when you meet me you might hate me (more than you do already)

Corvo Attano

I think I hate all of 2 people so as long as you dont attack me with a hurl or be a complete prick to me for years we should get along just fine.

Youre underestimating my awkwardness/' lack of social skills

Corvo Attano

I hate no one for shyness. I can relate.

Found This Fork Sir

I'm pretty sure you'll be fine, there'll be all sorts there and loads of other ways to meet people anyway, like socs and things.

Corvo Attano

Like you did?

Yeah, I thought I'd have to wait for the LC results before the offers came out. Didn't realise I get mine earlier for doing a plc course

Hey, im starting college in NUI a in September, hoping to study nursing.. would love to share apartment with other first years instead of going for the student ones which are v expensive :P If anybody here's interested let me know?

matthew2008

anybody know what date you can move into corrib village yet? want to move up as soon as pos, so have to hand my 2 week notice into work?

Found This Fork Sir

I'm not sure to be honest, but I'd say we'll have to wait until after results before we get dates or anything.

Khorbus

Corrib village rents out their houses during the summer, so you won't be able to move in until a day or two before college begins.

matthew2008

the last day you can rent a house there for the summer is the 24th of august? id imagine thered be a few days to clean and count inventory in the apartments between as well though?

I'll be living in corrib village and sharing a room with a complete stranger so I thought I'd join and meet some people here xD
