Tbh Hulla I reckon it was just an attempt to pimp the UCDSU website. Meh...it helped with the procrastination.

Look at the thread name, it's quality websites. Dunlavin couldn't be called quality!

Granted back in TY I think I entered something into the Dunlavin Arts Festival...

On the quality website bit I think Naas has the best photo gallery at Naas Town Signs

Also Kontraband and I-Am-Bored are great for whittling away hours on the internet.

This website is deadly too as it has a webcam of a Blue Tit nest...Mooney Goes Wild

This from the man who has Mooney Goes Wild down as quality? Roffle.

Did you enter in writing or art? Cos ya know, I have all the back issues of the festival anthology thingy....and I'm totally looking for yours now

Oh, and can't believe I forgot to mention http://www.ebay.co.uk /ie
Endless fun.

Byrno · 22-05-2006 12:30am

I think I entered it but it almost definately didn't get in. It would've been back in 2001 under writing. And come on, it kills me to say it as it is Derek Mooney but it's actually pretty interesting. Is Dunlavin?

If it's there I'll find it, if it's not I'll side up to the guy who used to edit it and ask for a flick through the old entries

Dunlavin is endlessly interesting, we have big buildings in the middle of our streets, beat that like!

Desperately trying not to be completely off topic (sorry Hulla!

)

www.tvtome.com - always handy for finding out what happened in missed episodes of things or shows you only got interested in halfway through.

Byrno · 22-05-2006 2:30am

I'm from Kill so I can't really slag at all. The Ryder Cup is going to be just down the road from me though!

I can only imagine the quality of any entry I made. Please don't look for it!

Also OT for all you politics nerds out there www.electionsireland.org

Blush_01 · 22-05-2006 2:58am

Just to keep on topic:

www.deviantart.com
www.homestarrunner.com (scroll buttons never looked so good!)

I think this thread is pretty pointless really. Completely irrelevant to the UCD forum. And now I must go to bed, or else I'll sleep through my alarm and miss 25% of my exams. Wouldn't that just be lovely!

hullaballoo · 22-05-2006 12:56pm

I still can't manage to get my head around what this thread is doing in the UCD forum. I'm going to leave it open until after the exams because you poor kids are obviously going insane.

panda100 · 22-05-2006 2:20pm

humbert · 22-05-2006 5:12pm

Well after those two posts there can be no doubt, spam all the way.

Ot: I like: for the words section, some classics

singingstranger · 22-05-2006 8:31pm

www.boards.us - purpose-built for when boards.ie goes down like that. A poor substitute though... *sob*

AngelofFire · 22-05-2006 8:59pm

Yeah that's true there's a hack fight going on now.Labour Youth support the hunger strikers and someone is asking if Labour Youth support the hunger strikers as they committed rapes and murders in Afghanistan.It can be vicious over there let me tell you I've been in the thick of it myself

Absolutely no connection you know a hack fight.A few class reps are in Labour Youth and one Arts Programme Officer Elect is the chairman.

Just to point out that my political affilaition and the poltical activity i get involved in, in my own capacity outside the union are my own business. and i know its off topic but. The reports that the hunger strikers were involved in the taliban are blatantly false, particularily when you consider that its the taliban regieme from which they fled to ireland. Anything that sensationalist shouldbe-tabloid prints has to be taken with a grain of salt. Last week the evening herald (a paper also owned by independent newspapers) printed a headline that stated that the hunger strikers were involved in the taliban only to contradict itself on the inside page by stating ''these men aren`t actually in the taliban''

In the mean time angeloffire heartedily endorses the following sites

www.teamtalk.com
www.indymedia.ie
www.launchcast.com
www.wikipedia.org
www.soundclick.com

Scraggs · 22-05-2006 9:15pm

Wow this thread is so irrelevant its great!!!

eh www.cockeyed.com is quite good specially the 'Pranks' and 'How Much is Inside Adventures' sections

Chakar · 22-05-2006 9:23pm

Well my logic was that we all spend an inordinate amount of time on the internet so might as well share addresses of websites we use.If people are still putting up addresses of quality websites in their own definition of quality then, I see no reason to take it down after the exams.

elmyra · 22-05-2006 9:36pm

I think the point is that the thread has no connection to UCD. Doesn't bother me though, just sayin'

The_Minister · 22-05-2006 9:59pm

I just tried to access ucddsu website and it said it was .... forbidden!
Why is this?

elmyra · 22-05-2006 10:01pm

Got that as well...maybe the site is down?

Or maybe...it's banned on the college network? *rumour mongers* <- disclaimer, I seriously doubt there's any truth in that.

singingstranger · 22-05-2006 10:19pm

Nope, 'tis down, they were having "access forbidden" issues earlier so it's entirely offline until they twiddle it about sufficiently.

But what are the su hacks going to do???!!!If the site is down again that means.....dare I say it....they'll all come over here to boards:eek: :eek: :eek:

singingstranger · 22-05-2006 10:39pm

**edit: sorry, forgot to mention that Exec has passed a motion calling for the Med pass rate to be raised to 75% with -150% negative marking on any MCQ...

Chakar · 23-05-2006 12:24am

Yeah it has no connection to the UCD forum but I'm playing the *exam* card on this leave it up hullaballoo I beg of you.

Yep.
That website is hilarious if you haven't laughed at commies in a few days.
Although it should be called 'agendamedia.ie' as it's anything but independent.

They worked for the Taliban, was what was said. They were kinda-like high-ranking civil servents (not the best metaphor but it'll do). The problem was that they co-operated with, and aided the taliban. Oh, and one guys uncle was also in the Taliban. (Last I heard that had been confirmed.

Oh and indymedia sucks the royal root. If you publish anything remotely intelligent there that they don't like then it "dissapears". It's also full of sch self-congradulating bull****. They named everone who opposed the hunger-strikers as a rasist. It is worse then Fox News

If it said it in the Sindo, it MUST be true...

Even if it was pre-empted with phrases like "It has been learned that" and "It is understood that.."

God bless the media!

I never mentioned the Sindo. I was not referring to the alleged confession by one hungerstriker to murder and rape -I give them the benefit of the doubt as to their basic intelligence.
