    Eiseart told me he got a reply after 2 days. At the end of mine I asked if I'd be able to go back to CTYI next year (cos I really don't know). It's been almost 2 weeks and nothing. Anyone else not get a reply or am I being avoided. Then again the restraining order might be preventing me from contacting her. Hmmm.


    THAT IS SCARY!! Just as I read that, Eiseart rang me!!:eek:

    Fishie (I think it was you that asked) - The letters came seperately I think.

    I just emailed a second ago. Sort of late notice, but oh well, I'm turning up anyway.

    It starts at 1pm and ends at 5pm, with a coffee break from 2.20 to 3pm.

    I hope two minutes ago wasn't too late to e-mail Catriona about tomorrow and I know several who haven't contacted her at all. We won't be turned away will we?

    The first guy was good because he was the first guy. The second guy was good because he was the famous guy. The third guy wasn't good because all his stories came from distant family members. The fourth guy was good because he had some great stories about students taking down the computer system. The lat guy was good because he had a load of props and that whole 'scientist from Flubber' thing going on.

    How is it that CTYI can't rent the Hub for us for discos but can rent the Helix for afternoon tea?

    Dr. Sheila was there!

    The lecturers or the audience?

    Some of the audience's questions were a bit stupid, but at least it was better then the Astronaut talk in 2003, when a kid would ask a question and the kid's parents would look around to see how many people were watching their brainy child.

    It's the Centre of Talented Youth, dammit! They're all brainy children! And really, who cares what the possible beneficial effectssunspots might have in the Earth's future in relation to energy usage. We'll be long dead. I'm amazed that the astronaut even entertained such obviously staged questions. Then again, he was American. I'm still surprised that nobody got up and told him that they had made their own spaceship, discovered how to travelled in black holes and found proof of life on other planets while Mummy looks proudly on, watching to see how many people are 'admiring' her know-it-all. It was like the kid on the Late, Late Toy Show all over again. 'When I grow up, I'm probably going to be a scientist, because i've got a very technical mind, blah, blah, blah'.

    Sorry, hadn't 'ranted' in ages.

    I left after the third and ended up talking to some really hot guy. Tara was there too so I want to discuss with her consequences of our actions on that day.

    That's a rant?Wow.......

    Lectures were OK - fair play to Colm, Caitriona and Pamela for organising them, but really did they not figure that most people haven't seen each other in a long time?It was kinda obvious that everyone would have trouble concentrating on the lectures and at the same time ya didn't want to talk over them.

    I thought the best was the RTE crime correspondant, hands down and the computer guy coz he really just told us loads of stories about people screwing each other over.

    Pamela, that's her name. I'd forgotten it which was bugging the hell out of me, for some reason I thought her name began with a w.

    Anyway yeah the talks were good. Saw some people who aren't normally at reunions. Little disappointed cos I thought the computer guy said he'd tell us how to break into other peoples accounts or maybe I'm remembering wrong. Had a bad case of caffeine withdrawl that morning. I can stop anytime I want, I just don't want to.

    The talks were very good, but only if you could concentrate long enough to listen.
    I made the mistake of sitting beside the (normally hyperactive) conor flynn on caffine, and thus missed much of everything.....

    At least he didn't jump on you outside, lift you under his arm and attempt to shove his tongue down your throat.
