I'm old though, and I've been here for ages.

You been watching Dollhouse?

Nah, Eliza Dushku is a bit of a put off. Though the rumours of Summer Glau in season 2 have piqued my interest.

Pet · 26-06-2009 12:11AM

Ugh. Dollhouse can suck a bag of dicks. SUCH a disappointment. Why, Joss? Why? Why does it have to be so sucktacular?

Although, I think he jumped the shark after season 3 of Buffy.

*can open, worms everywhere*

Go and drink from some unlabelled test-tubes, fiend.

I agree, I just don't get how it was renewed for a nother season and Firefly was cancelled.

Yep, the last few seasons were all over the place, as were the first few seasons of Angel, but surprisingly Angel improved in it's latter days.

I wish he'd done that Ripper show, that would've been good.

Anyone seen the chem lab marks yet? Saw them today.
avg. engineering mark: 60.13
avg. engineering with management mark: 33.6
:pac:

Brian · 26-06-2009 02:16PM

I got about ... 20. Also, the lab marks excel workbook had a "hidden" sheet with all the names, email addresses, student numbers and CAO points of everyone in the course. This was rectified after I emailed Dr. Bridge.

Was it emailed to the class?

Brian · 26-06-2009 03:04PM

Yes, but using his super-powers he retroactively modified the email attachment.

It was in the get folder.

I trust you saved a copy yourself, that kind of information can be very useful.

Indeed.

Funny thing is that it only takes ones person to **** up once, and then every anonymous result is compromised for the rest of the degree..

mathew · 26-06-2009 05:31PM

Id say it happens a few times with every year in the college.. only some people notice it tho... and only some of them save it.. :pac:

Dollhouse is really terrible, but I like to watch it an Imagine I'm having sex with all the main characters.

Anywho... The student number thing will happen several times between now and the end of your degree. Some people are useless.

Iron Ring wrote:

The Ring is given as part of "The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer",[1] written by Rudyard Kipling. Many believe that the rings are made from the steel of a beam from the Quebec Bridge, which collapsed during construction in 1907, killing 75 construction workers, due to poor planning and design by the overseeing engineers; however, this is not the case. This misunderstanding may have its roots in a common practice of attaching a symbol of an engineering failure, such as a bolt from that bridge, to the chain that is held by participants in the ritual. The Ring is a symbol of both pride and humility for the engineering profession.

Well now. I'm just trying to think of how many times I was lied to during the year.

One of the mech lecturers has one afair.

Brian · 27-06-2009 03:41AM

All just propagating a myth.

devinejay · 27-06-2009 01:21PM

Baza got you possibly throw up a copy of those chem labs results? The get folder is a whole train journey away from me at the mo.

baza do you have the actual file on you? could you link me to it if possible. im away in england and want some marks.

Do we have to go into college to get our overall marks? is there no place online to get them?

If someone wanted to become an aerospace engineer would mechanical engineering in Trinity be a worthwhile pursuit?
