Trinity hall

Kopf

In the trinity hall literature they say "Smoking is prohibited in all Trinity Hall buildings" or some **** like that. When I was applying, i ticked YOU BETCHYA for the "Smoker?" question..

I'm just wondering, how the **** do they expect smokers to live, and hold onto their sanity, in a place where they're not allowed to smoke - anywhere?

what the **** is this ****?

you just have to go outside.

Ahahah lol...

As a smoker you should be used to this sort of thing by now..

Kopf

go outside?! but what if i want to enjoy a nice little spliff and then hop into bed oogling at some pretty winamp visualisations?!

god they have to ruin everything don't they :rolleyes:

What are you studying?

Kopf

uhm. ahhm. ah well, here's to incriminating one's self - i'll be studying computer science, linguistics and german. CSLL.

Yeah.. your course and past-time are mutually exclusive. Take it from me, you'll have to give it up at some stage if you want to wear that mortarboard.

Kopf

i figured as much.. still i'm fairly pissed about the whole smoking in trinity hall thing. I'll be moving out into my own rented accommodation for second (and subsequent) years, so i hope I don't get a huge urge to get monged out of it with the new-found freedom to smoke..

do you know how many hours per week my course entails?

that's what i'm thinkin. was just looking forward to the freedom of not being forced to smoke out a window, as i have done for the past 6 years

well u could do a job on the smoke alarm... is one everywhere......

I would advise you not to do a job on the smoke alarm - someone in my building did it last year and was heavily fined. They're all hooked up to a system and they can tell if you mess with it. I've never been to a halls of residence that allowed smoking anyway, it's a fire risk. I mean, I'd like to light candles in my room but I understand why you can't.

And BTW I'm sure you'll be thrilled to know that smoking is even banned outside at Trinity Hall because the wardens got sick of all the cigarette butts lying around. There is a small brick building known as the smoker's pavilion (which is, ironically, the designated assembly point in the case of a fire) where all the smokers hang out. It's freezing and stinks like hell.

Nietzschean

your idea of a job is breaking it, which is obviously going to trigger an alarm, there are more suttle ways of doing it i've seen..........

the old ones used be condomable - i.e. you just put a condom over the sensor part.

dunno about new ones

And then you forget about re-enabling the smoke alarm, there's a fire, and someone gets killed because the alarm didn't go off fast enough....

Crash

Hey i'm not the little angel guy who stands on your shoulder and says "no, dont do it....its bad!"

I'm just the ideas man.

meh if you can find enuf stuff to burn in campus accomadation yer doing well(modern now not that old ****e down n front square that goes on fire every second day..)
