    Excuse me?!

    I am here because of my parents...dont think lizzie had anything to do with that...maybe you should ask your mammy and daddy about the birds and the bees...your a tad confused!

    I am at trinity, built long before lizzie was born, again ask your mammy and daddy about that, because it offers the course i want and for no other reason.

    No one on earth should be so far up their own ajhf to think the world revolves around them!



    you're an idiot, fluffy cat...

    Trinity was founded by Queen Elizabeth the 1st.

    The current queen is Elizabeth the second...trinity was built under the reign of Queen Elizibeth the first...and its a member of her trio of colleges or something like that.

    Altho i think its ridiculous that its endangering some peoples summer exams i still think the college has done the right thing...if a visit was unavoidable...can ya really say no to the queen of england...then it was better to move exams than have students trying to get into college when traffic and security will make it nearly impossible to do so.

    My issue with the exam change is that ive gone from having 3 and a half days to 17 hours time off before an exam. Given that this is my final year, I would like to think I can pass!

    You've plenty of time to study now. If you've left all the study for one of your finals to the days beforehand then you're not doing yourself any favours anyway.

    The charter of the college may well have signed by Elizabeth I, but it is extremely unlikely that she had any significant interest in establishing a university in Dublin; it was John Loftus, Henry Ussher and other wealthy/powerful Dublin individuals who pushed for its founding by lobbying the Dublin Corporation.

    She considered it part of her plan to extend the authority of British rule in Ireland.

    Also, I doubt James Ussher had much to do with its founding in 1592!
    James Ussher (4 January 1581 – 21 March 1656)

    Maybe you meant Adam Loftus (c. 1533 – 5 April 1605), 1st provost of Trinity!

    Hopefully she's well warned about the cobblestones. For an older woman I can see them being quite easy to trip on. And, god forbid, we wouldn't want her to trip and hurt herself. That's the last thing any of us would want. What a shame it'd be if she tripped and hurt herself.

    I was wondering why they were putting smooth bits down in front square, this explains it.

    I hope this was merely a joke of bad taste and that you realise the smooth paths along the cobblestones are actually for wheelchair users

    The smooth bits are also useful for people who don't enjoy (or find difficulty with) walking on cobblestones. Let's not let wheelchair users have a monopoly on enjoying the smooth bits, now.

    hope the plane crashes, that is my opinion, call me what you like but plain and simply she should not be aloud in our country. Why would any Irishman or woman welcome this wrinkle bag?

    Herself and Obama are well suited as murdering scumbags who hide behind 'politics' to justify their decisions. And to whoever said earlier in this tread that the queen was not involved in politics is simply dumb, (probably the first one to greet her too i'd imagine). She is the head of the country, everything goes through her and her awful family, political or non.

    You don't have to show up, so you've nothing to worry about. (nobody will miss you either).

    Are you a troll or have you been hiding under a rock for the past fifteen years?

    Though both seem possible.

    The SU facebook page says the exams have reverted back to the original timetable but with different locations.

    Bags of yay.

    I know a lot of people are bitching about it being changed again, FFS and all that but realistically, it hasn't been drastically changed again, it's back to what it was four days ago, not that big a deal for anyone who wasn't pushed about the timetable, a huge deal for people who were e.g. SS Law who had like six finals in five days because of the change (depending on the modules they were taking but still...)

    So basically this is a very very minor annoyance for some people who will forget it in a week but means loads to some students who will still be grateful on May 17th. Can we try to look at this with a little bit of lateral thinking perhaps?

    This is all very tiresome. My class reps are now pushing for our exam scheduled for the Tuesday to be once again moved forward to Saturday, because it spaces out our exams more. I don't recall ever being asked my opinion on the matter, but they seem to have decided it's for the best. "Aggressive email campaign". They got in trouble with Jen Fox. Very tiresome. Reminds me of the bullshít furore surrounding the rescheduled English Leaving Cert paper...

    Personally I preferred it the way it was once it was moved but I would imagine for every person negatively affected there'll be someone positively affected.

    TBH I just don't want to be anywhere near Dublin while she's here which is why I was glad I at least wouldn't have to be on campus while she was.

    At least the anger over that was a bit more justified; it happening in the space of a few days in the middle of the exams. The people effected by this switch on the other hand have had weeks of notice

    They conducted a poll actually, and those who it disadvantaged outnumbered those it benefited by like 3 to 1, so they campaigned to have it revered as that was what would keep the most students happy, which is pretty much the job of the SU.
