There is actually work which I can only really do on campus, and I know its only four days, and I have other work that I can do, but I would prefer if I was able to do some of it over the long weekend.

Ditto. I spose that might've been my subconscious ulterior motive for raising the issue in the first place...:o

Ya don't have a secular education system for as long as your holidays are defined by the festivals of a religion, no matter how popular it may be.

You're dead right, but I'm still glad I'm off. Dying for some damn meat though, aagggghhhh, my body can't handle this!

Sangre

Oh I agree it should be totally secular but I recognise the logic in only celebrating catholic holidays.
I really hate not having the library...I use it a lot. Books, case reports, articles, dictionaries, computers etc...
I'm the guy with the big pile of books at his desk.
The restaurant is herrible. So noisy....we can hear you downstairs ffs.

Nor did I... I dunno, maybe you Cockney types just don't get the tribalism of the Leinster/Munster thing.

Yep. But having said that if we get beaten I won't be too disappointed.

I seriously hope O Gara gets totally shown up. Attack that no.10 channel. Might get someone off their ass and look for a realistic replacement.

lol seb. Its not that you went to a rugby school. Its cos your bitter than you were (probably) forced to participate in some way or other with the rugby there (wether it be supporting or playing whatever).
I and many others here went to rugby schools and im really looking forward to said game. That said i like(d) rugby in school


Btw i agree that a religous holiday is umm, whats the word, silly?
Dont get me wrong, i realise people need days off and are entitled to x amount per year but in a multi cultural college in a multi cultural country, these days off should perhaps be just random days which have little or no importance to anyone. I also realise that there are many practicing catholics in this country and that they require(do they?) this day off but theres gotta be some compromise. I too probably have a slighyly selfish view on this. I have a group project to do in which we are having real problems. Labs with TA help are on mondays and fridays... (wednesdays too but i got a lecture at that time) and this holiday has really put a spanner in the works
Dont get me wrong, i love having today and monday "off" (study days really) but its bloody inconvenient at the same time.. especially at this time of year.

Yeah, if Contepomi plays like he did against Toulouse he's going to make a show of Rog.

Anyway, back on topic... everyone's favourite easter egg? Moro for me, I think...

You're sh*tting me, right?
I went to KH for the specific purpose of playing Rugby. Pretty soon I developed a deep and long-lasting loathing for those who played the game tho, insofar as that for them it wasn't (and isn't) just a sport or a game - there's a whole social side to it that is... well... completely abhorrent.

I never had a problem with Rugby.

It was just that those who made it the be-all-and-end-all were complete and utter c0cks.

Scraggs

I'm not really a fan of easter at all really! Like I like chocolate but for some reason I just dont like it in egg form.... I used to ask for a present instead of an egg as a child!

BKtje

As a kid i always got Yorkies (its not for girls afterall) but i got a Galaxy Promises from me mom this year and it was beautiful (yes ive eaten it already :eek: ). There arent enough white chocolate Easter Eggs tho for my liking and that would probablt get my vote as favourite easter egg egg.

On a slightly other topic (which is still on topic!), did anyone used to do the "egg hunt" in town? Its where they buried a load of eggs (cant remember type) and people had to go round and find em. Think it was in stephens green? (mighta been a dutch embassy organised hunt tho as they were/are big in nl).

Fair enough i guess. Your entitled to your opinion. That said i, and many of my m8s, loved it in School and many a social event were organised as a celebration/commiseration or good luck event. Differnt strokes for different folks i guess

Dont worry Seb, i still think your bang on

Doesn't matter, totally irrelevant now that United have thrown the league away tonight.

BKtje

It was all a fools hope anyway. Chelsea were never gonna throw it away (tho it was nice to dream for a while). The future for next season looks bright tho..lets just hope they (they being manu ) start their end of season form a lil earlier..preferably from the first game in

..and now i must go. I have dinner to cook.

In fairness, it was...

I've a lorra woohoos to get off my chest it really has been a Good Friday...

Someone made me a savage cd with all of 'Too Many Djs' best tracks -really great mix I'm delighted.
I also got to play with dj decks.... I'd make a great DJ [well with A LOT of practice maybe...]
I got to meet up with my friends that I havent seen in ages.
I'm goin on holliers in the summer to US and free accommadation with mates on J1

...that post, it's a fairly chirpy one to mark the 2000th!

Wicked!

Altho a donation towards the-shaving-of-Seb's-ample-hairiness would be even more appreciated, if that is possible! Getting all my hair shaved off by the capable (and hopefully not too vicious) boneless, on the last day of term. It's for Heart Children Ireland, a charity for Children born with congenital heart defects. Basically I'm hopin' to raise a few quid for it, and lose all my untidy hair into the bargain.

There, that's my shill-ing done for the day. Everyone contribute or else etc.
