I Flamin' knew it

Thumper Long

Its great to see this board thriving and full of life. I suggested this board earlier in the year on the forums board and people had the idea to laugh at me for suggesting such a forum. Basically I think it just comes down to the fact that they applied to trinity and never got in, and have ended up at some inferior 3rd level establishment.

Well who's laughin' now,

Remember

"TRINNERS FOR WINNERS"

chump

Here here.

No vermin here!

Nietzschean

John

Chick

Ugh.. Please don't fill the stereotype, I get enough stick at home.

vinks

trinners for wieners?

sleepingbeauty

yeah this forum is going great
but i really wish that stereotype wasnt around so much.....the reaction i get from some people when i tell them im doing physics in trinity.....ah you know what i guess it doesnt really matter, i like it in trin so thats all that matters

Don't I just know it, it's the ultimate conversation stopper. I have an alter ego where I'm a plumbing apprentice

Aye it does, but it's a very good one for certain things..

lol you guy's should just try out saying you do Theoretical Physics in trinity, now even the tcd people stop talking then

PrecariousNuts

Yeah but only to pick up rocks to throw.

MacXP_Irl

Never ever eeeeevvvvveeeeerrrrr tell anyone your doing Tp in Trinity, women will run away, guys will frown, ppl "won't know how to talk to you" because you are "so much smarter" than them... all anyone need to know is you do something to do with science in Dublin somewhere at a push, scratch that, tell them nothing, say its on a need to know basis.

How about freelance architect, that sounds cool, though most things with freelance do. Freelance puppeteer, freelance landscape gardener, freelance weapons engineer, freelance gynaco....too far, I think

Chick

why should you have to lie about doing what you love? if you get negative reactions from ppl then id say theyre not worth talking to

MacXP_Irl

I didn't lie, i just omitted some of the less relavent details. i completely agree they're probably not worth, but if someone asks you what do you do, as the first question out of their mouths, besides being a bit obvious, saying TP can throw a spanner in the works, just an observation. Besides i'm not officially a TP anymore!

vinks

if that was the conception of tp, thank god i didnt do the the "msc in tp and applied maths". otherwise i'd be shunned from society in general

Chick

maybe people just feel a little intimidated or something i dont know, im sure they dont mean any harm

Hrmmm no sorry your painted with the same brush as tp's

and how did that go today? were u in the pav by any chance tis eve?

John

Do you TP kids call the rest of society "norms"?




Seriously though, I've never had a problem conversing with you lot. But then I am a science boy too.

Nietzschean

erm no, well most tp's are normal.......though the long bloddy name seems to be enuf, people start going quiet by the time u get theoretical out

Chicks dig it when you tell them you're a fireman. Failing that Law in Trinity works best with impressionable young ladeez.

Nietzschean

meh law students r gob****es.

and ah, well how'd it go anyway? any awkard questions?

sleepingbeauty

meh law students r gob****es.

meh i dont think they're all that bad, i know loadsa nice ones anyway

Nietzschean

ah so do i, but i'm just generalising

Chick

i know plenty of nice ones too canvas

Iafortezza (whats that mean anyway?) -youre spot on with the fireman thing
