That's what they all say. . . .

So if you're a 2nd year and not due a new photo, is it the same as last year except they put the old photo on the new card? How successful would begging for a new photo be? (Not vain, photo is god-awful, I look like some sort of victim on crack, I'm also a lovely dark grey colour. Nobody says 'Ahh it's grand' Everyone admits it's terrible and laughs)

Yep, you can ask for a new photo, I don't know anyone who was refused.

Oh! And if you happen to have a yellow strip due to whatever reason on your card, a rubber can be used to correct this error.

Don't use nail polish remover (based on experience).

Shows you're under 18; means you can't get served in the Pav (on the rare occasions that they actually ask for student ID) but I think that's about it.

Nopw just to clarify something. Everyone has a small yellow strip under their photo which says undergraduate. The yellow stip going accross the whole card idicates that you are under 18. I used an ink rubber to take it off.

My friend knew about the yellow line rule, but thought it was any yellow line on the card. She worked in a shop in first year and someone who she sort of knew from our course came in to buy alcohol. The shop has a strict id policy and he showed her his TCD card, knowing she was a TCD student, and would know about the yellow line rule. She saw a yellow line under his photo and refused to serve him. :rolleyes:

Guesses for this years colour?

Why don't you guess Jonathan? You were right last year

I'm gonna go with red.

I hadn't even noticed that

Lets go with green this year.

t0mm · 03-09-2009 12:35PM

I'm gonna say a dark blue that fades into the middle like last year's red did.

Ron DMC · 03-09-2009 12:45PM

Tenner bets that staff cards will be white this year.

Mark200 · 03-09-2009 01:36PM

Black would be cool. With a fading black in the middle

Wouldn't work well with the text IMO.

Fair point. Forget the fading part

mathew · 03-09-2009 01:48PM

I'd love black.. But I'd say green is probably the best bet.. Or some ghastly yellow

Unregistered. · 03-09-2009 02:17PM

How about cards with D.O.B on them.

Hamiltonion · 03-09-2009 02:23PM

I'm gonna go for grey, although I'd love orange, for non sectarian reasons of course

Unregistered. · 03-09-2009 02:24PM

I like Navy.

Bajingo · 03-09-2009 02:25PM

Im going to say yellow or purple.

Seconded. The yellow line thing is nonsensical.

ApeXaviour · 03-09-2009 04:09PM

I'm guessing trinity envisions complications arising with fake tcd IDs, or people "losing" them to a younger sibling etc.

Well no student cards are accepted officially as Proof of Age so I don't see where the complication would arise with Trinity?

I'm going to guess orange though it might not be sufficiently different from the current card. Its been a while since orange too (2004/5).

2001 - Silver
2002 - Green
2003 - Blue
2004 - Orange
2005 - Pink
2006 - Green
2007 - Blue
2008 - Red
2009 - ?????

El Siglo · 03-09-2009 04:41PM

Why does it have to be one colour, why not putting down an entire rainbow?
I was thinking of something like this:
picture.php?albumid=729&pictureid=3769

Ah, memories, my good ol' proddy Orange Trinners card from first year.

03-09-2009 05:53PM

I'm gonna guess Silver.

Would love an Orange Card.
