    The amount of guys in college that forgot how to use a bathroom is ridiculous. One of the seats had blood on it FFS.

    Do we have to pre-register this week?

    Not quite sure. The 3 emails I get about it daily aren't that clear...

    I haven't gotten any emails about it.

    Just realised that's because I don't have any electives next semester. Never mind.

    Piss usually.

    Can't understand lads having their lunch in the bog.

    Ah, fair enough. The SAA are certainly ensuring that they send out enough emails. I pre-registered on Monday, please be so kind TO STOP SENDING ME SO MANY BLOODY EMAILS!

    It'd hardly be that difficult to design a system where you remove students off the email list once they've already pre-registered. The emails are getting almost as bad as the survey ones.

    Anyone else have to pay €35 ish to get their FYP bound per copy? :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,009 ✭✭✭✭wnolan1992


    Had to laugh at the email from reception today about the car in the Foundation car park. Nothing like alerting ~12,000 people that there's a car ripe for pilfering. :pac:

    My friends got 3 copies, for less than what I paid at Snap for 2, printed in the print room.

    We must get them bound in a proper leather book cover . Priced as a group off another guy our lecturer recommended.

    Soft non-leather bound was the usual for FYPs when I handed in mine.

    Our supervisor has an awful habit of calling them a thesis :(

    I guess it depends on the department and supervisor. There be guidelines online. As long as he doesn't get yee to write much more than what's required.

    Why not?


    A Thesis= a dissertation embodying results of original research and especially substantiating a specific view; especially : one written by a candidate for an academic degree

    As in he treats it like a masters theses.. The rules and regulations about it are even longer than our word limit.

    That's odd for a department to require leather hardcover, all the other departments just require the standard soft cover

    Would you be interested in winning €100 by participating in a 4 hour survey regarding your displeasure at receiving excessive emails? By the way, there is a car with its windows open somewhere.

    Ask me about 10 more times. I generally stop being annoyed after the first 8 or 9 times you ask me the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over etc.

    There's a guy in the post grad room of the library who has been coughing LOUDLY ALL DAY LONG!!!

    I'm fit to hop a phone off his f*cking head.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,712 ✭✭✭YFlyer


    Some muppet wearing the Limerick GAA jacket cut me off going out the gate of the all weather pitches to the perimeter where I was running tonight at around 7:15 pm.

    It was like a train crash waiting to happen. I was running along the outside heading toward where the gate was open. There was just enough room for me to pass through. The guy with the gear bag, likely a coach of the Ladies GAA squad, was walking off the pitch and walk right in my line. I had to stop all of a sudden to wait for the dopey fool to pass by :mad:

    People on balconies in Thomond already blasting music...I would like to sleep in please.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,324 ✭✭✭chrislad


    Hmmm, did my post just disappear? Maybe I didn't press send properly, but it looks like it may have.

    I was giving out about rag week. Had to change where I park as I was worried about proximity to Elm Park. Looks like I was right to be worried - car in my normal area was covered in paint this morning, paint can and all!

    Woken by 2 alarms this morning, first about half 9ish, second at about 10 to 10. Luckily alarm was set for 10 so didn't lose much sleep :)
    Heard a couple of alarms go off afterwards as well.. Wondering how well the Groody gate will hold up. :P

    Less than a minute after posting another went off incredibly close. It's like living in the fking ghetto!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,577 ✭✭✭garv123


    If the librian or whatever they are by the print room in the library computer room doesnt stop texting with her keypad tones on I think, Im going to strangle her with the cable off a mouse!!


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 144 ✭✭blazermel
