What happened to all the spotted in tcd fb pages? They certainly provided the laughs.

Might be because nobody is in college to spot... except trinity cat, residents and schols students

My timetable for next term won't stop changing :mad: Has changed three times this week alone! I'm trying to plan around it, but every time I look it up it's different and I have to reschedule things yet again.

Before anyone says it: I know I'm technically doing a full-time course (how 7 hours a week counts as full-time I don't know but whatever) and obviously college comes first. But it's really annoying when the timetable keeps changing days before the start of term. Some people have part-time jobs to pay for college, some have children that they have to sort childcare for...

Got the break down of the continuous assessment from one module, I was 0.5% off a higher grade but the lecture wrote down my total as being an even one 1% under. You're suppose to round up if its five, not down! Sometimes I really miss the leaving cert way of correcting things.

:mad: The filth and lack of consideration of other people...

Went into one of the shower cubicles in the gym and there was a used tampon hanging from the showerhead.

Feck, why did I read that spoiler?! That's just nasty...

On the topic of the gym and ranting, actually: why the hell are there about 12 showers but only 5 shower curtains in the upstairs ladies changing rooms?! :mad:

It's just an interview. Deep breaths /repeats over and over

Only thing I can think of, is that if there's less shower curtains, people won't spend a lot of time in the showers, knowing that others would want to use them.

Always wondered that myself..

The ladies showers have curtains? :eek:

The mens resemble a prison shower

In my local last night, which is a smal country pub in the south east. These prats entered the pub, Ross O'Kelly Carroll would be able to describe them better than me. Shouting each other down and forcing themselves, to try and be funny.These clowns were in their mid twenties, trying to act like seventeen year old's and hoping they would not be considered that age in order to be served. I posted this in the tcd thread as they mentioned the place several times.
These prats may never have to work in their lives, and be supported by their well pensioned fathers, if they are given positions in some company or other to get them out of the way. If that happens the country is really fooked, going by their behavior. End of my Sunday Rant. May have one for next Sunday.

They sound like prats, but do you have a point to make, besides "they might someday get jobs, oh no"?

Trinity is a place with thousands of people. Therefore, there are many prats of various kinds. Just like any other place in which there are thousands, or even just hundreds or dozens, of people. Just like every small country town, every large company, every church congregation, every sports club, and every other university or college.

Trinity's only distinguishing characteristic is that it is the best university in the country. It's still full of people, and most of those are lovely people, but many of them are prats, just like everywhere else.

The one time I forget my student card, a security guard comes in and checks everyone's cards. So embarrassing!

How inconvenient; how did the security guard deal with it? Was he obtuse or reasonable?

He was pretty nasty until he saw that I am in fact a TCD student, by making me show him my student record on a computer. It didn't help that I was having a really bad day and that the first computer I tried to use crashed on me. >_< After logging into my student record he was very nice though. I think he genuinely thought I was an outsider in a card- or code-access only part of college.

Bought a load of new pens... left the bag on the Luas :(

Fuk off leaflet wielding election campaigners. I'm not gonna be in this college next year. :mad:
