Alternative Names for Buildings

Red Alert

Seen as UCD's governing authority didn't do a great job on the building names I thought we could come up with a few instead:

Student Centre - White Elephant Research Centre
Restaurant - Sewage Recycling Institute
Library - Nuclear Command Centre
Forum Bar - Solitary Confinement Facility
Boiler House - Toy Power Station
Belgrove Residences - The Bronx
O'Reilly Hall - The Dave Fanning Fan Club Headquarters

Michael Tierney Building - Blackrock

Hey, I never see you in the Student Bar so I dunno what you're talkin bout!

I practically live there. Hence the "Wasters Central" renaming - sorry, "rebranding" - of the Student Bar.

And where are the D4 heads/Orange people/Ross O'Carroll-Kelly Brigade most prevalent???

Arts has orange people. Almost exclusively but they're to be found in pockets all over campus.

Avoid being sent to Michael Tierney he's the cross man you have to go to see when youve been bold. But nobody gets thrown out no matter what!!

rainbow kirby

Orange people in science tend to be concentrated around the biological subjects. With very few in maths, physics or CS.

tribulus

yeah geology had all the hot birds last year, hopefully the orange people have an aversion to chemical stuff like eh chemistry!!!

i'm hoping the science block won't have to be renamed to signify a large presence of these

craiglen

The orange people... Imagine if they started their own soc! That would be ledge

Yeah i intend to kinda float around the core of things which i assume would be the SU bar until i find out about other stuff.... is it?

HappyCrackHead

They already have their own society... its called C&E

Arts, is really REALLY big, and a lot of the ooompa loompas are concentrated there. call it orange concentrate!

but lots of arts girls arent orange. there is also an increasing number of orange guys... man tans. its also a misconception that most of the orange people are D4 heads, there simply arent that many people in D4. they're D4 wanna-bies.

Avoid going to the restaurant or the arts cafe or the bookshop... if you are going to any of these, only go to shoplift.

craiglen

I see...

Man tans? OH DEAR GOD

I will punch anyone from tallaght who tries to put on a D4 accent!

Good advice man. Can't wait to start it'll be great!

HappyCrackHead

uh... watch ur mouth buddy

I'm from tallaght but ive never had a tallaght accent. i dont have a D4 accent but i dont sound like a moped with a broken muffler...

but lots of people's accents do change. its to do with the crowd u run with.

That's complete bullsh*t - Why the f**k would ppl change their accents just because of who they hang around with???

I've lived here for 15 years and I have never compromised my original South London accent. Why should I? Why should ppl suddenly become f**king D4 dicks when they turn up at Belfield? It's ridiculous.
Just, rubbish, utter utter rubbish...

Why isn't there a "JockSoc" for the orange people- male and female??

Blush_01

Ah now Seb...

I don't have a Tipperary accent. Nor do I have a Dublin accent. Although I have a bit of a twang when I go back to college after spending a weekend or so at home.

Going to Cork affects my accent something rotten. I pick it up like it's going out of fashion.

It's not intentional.

However... there are a hell of a lot of people from Meath, Cavan, Mayo, Leitrim etc who sound like they could've been born beside the lake after a week or two. Didn't you know that looking like a normal, (and possibly) pale human being, spending less than three hours making your hair look like you've been dragged through a bush backwards after having your ponytail attacked by seagulls, and sounding anything less than vacant and quasi-american is an offence on campus? (Ok, so this is based on a select few people that I have had the displeasure of associating with, but it's friggin' true.)

I love Cork.

Mmhm, Cork.

Of course people's accents change.
A mate of mine from Tallaght told me he really had to tone down the accent when he first came to ucd because so many people just couldn't understand when I was saying.

I slip in to different accents myself. Baseline I have an awful american twang thanks to too much televisin as a child, but I get progesivly more 'north dublin' when I drink are get agro.

lol I have a nothing accent(neutral south co Dublin) - or I used to anyway before I came to college. Now apparently I've a bit of a culchie accent cos of the amount of guys from the country on my course! Course when you spend over 40 hours a week with ppl you are gonna pick up some bits of their accent.

I know a few people whop have accents because of this. Never ceases to amaze (and boggle) me

HappyCrackHead

i must admit, i also suffer from the "watching too much american tv" syndrome.

however my accent is a hodgepodge of different ones. i just sound like me. most people, not matter where they're from have SOME kinda difficulty with my accent.

SHHHHHHHHHWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrr

Eh... No mate, that's plainly not it. It's not your accent ppl have trouble with - it's the fact that you constantly mumble your words in a monotone that is difficult to make hide nor hair of. It's disconcerting.

It's twice as bad when ur drunk btw - Then you somehow manage to both shout AND mumble. God knows how you do this, but it's true.
