I'm pretty sure I saw them walking up the stairs in the SU. And they were all over each other going up there too. *shudder*

If it's the same couple, can we have campaign to have a restraining order placed on them when in public? What's that Shakespear quote...
These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss, consume. The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately. Long love doth so.
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
I really wanted to put that on their desk in the library when they go for lunch.

If it's not the same couple and there's two, can we campaign for all couples to restrain themselves within public or be subjected to the same restraining order?

While in the SU one of my friends turned around to me and my boyfriend and thanked us for not being like that in public. PDAs are icky! So yes, we should campaign!

They're just so completely unnecessary. I mean, to me it's just a sign of insecurity. It's not so much "look how much we love each other!", it's more "look, he/she is mine! All mine! Everyone needs to know in case anyone gets any ideas!" I mean, you can do that at home and it'll probably add more value to it because you're not going around acting like that 24/7.

I'd hate to see that poor girls neck, he was leeched onto it for half the fecking day. No wonder she was wearig a scarf.
But yeah, I totally agree with it being an attention thing. There is literally no other reason to be behaving like that, especially not when you're in college and meant to be mature and stuff

I can't stand the SU. It's so filthy.

jamo2oo9 · 08-02-2015 01:15PM

I've only been in the SU once and that was during Orientation Week

I never venture any further than the really warm room with the padded walls.

:P

Ninja edit! Make sure you manually put in the www.

Only seeing this now

It was more a case of Dublin Bus Wifi acting the prick :P
Thanks anyways!

iLaura · 08-02-2015 05:41PM

SU is always so smelly :P I've only been there about 3 times this academic year since all my friends are back from coop, and the only reason we're there is cause the couches in raisins are gone

onethreefive · 08-02-2015 06:31PM

I never knew there was anything in the students union other than a counter to buy tickets from

There's pool tables upstairs, and some couches and ethernet ports

Except the pool cues are terrible and couches are mank.

Strange sense of deja vu...
Have we had this biscuits vs cake argument before... :P
Also, Venice is great but no internet at my student accom... :S
Apparently we can buy it off someone who calls around a few times a week, don't know when, don't know what hours, but he'll come...
Not holding out.. :P

My friend lives with the couple from the library we were discussing a few weeks ago...Sitting in the Sitting Room with their hands all over each other is enough to put you off food for a week!

Anyone know if the spar near stables sells 2 litre bottles of lucozade?

wnolan1992 · 10-02-2015 03:39PM

Shh lads, if that couple get word of the place I shudder to think what they'll do with the microphones... :pac:

FlyingIrishMan · 10-02-2015 05:36PM

I think we need to set up like a support group for you guys.. all very traumatized.

Chris Martin · 10-02-2015 06:17PM

Wonder what'll happen when they break up...
Will the alternative be better?
Thinking back to a Spongebob episode..
Child.. :P

Does anyone know if the photo box machine in the hallway to red raisins takes passport sized photos and how much they cost? Thanks!

No idea, but I know the SU do either 6 or 8 passport photos for €6 if you ask at the desk

Is it worth going to the Tri-Faculty Ball? Not sure whether if I should fork out 40 quid for a night..

They're worth going to once. Went in first year to the Sci and Eng one. Was good fun, just an awful lot of effort :P

Chris Martin · 11-02-2015 01:40PM

Went to one Ball back in my first year..
C&S Ball..
Was in no mood for it on the night though and sort of marred by view on balls from then on..
I'd say if you go, go with friends, and be prepared to drink, being it's likely the majority will be smashed before they get there..
'You can polish a turd but it's still a turd' comes to mind..
Just to say I'm not a prude, I've been that turd on many an occasion :P
I'm mad anti-craic :P
