Here's a fact-finding mission

I said €13.40 for a specific reason, the reference wasn't accidental or random, nor was blind drunk. If yer up for a bit of a treasure hunt, all ye need has been said.

My other guess would be to go up to the science end and see how much ethenol one gets for €13.40. I'd say you'd get blind drunk with a few euro left over.

Very warm.

there's no pure ethanol around?

Also very warm.

Who would I go see??

John

A man about a dog?

Nietzschean

anyone doing chemistry at all? a lab tech?

Awayindahils

There is one boardsie but he lurks more than he posts and he prefers gasing people with ethers and chloroform, rather than providing us with ethanol.

Edwardius

Well any ethanol I've encountered in labs has been tainted, except, I think "analytical alcohol" (or something like that). I think it may depend on the application (you would hardly need ultrapure ethanol for a ****ty jf experiment) but it is not easy to get your hands on the pure stuff. That you can drink.
I'd watch the chloroform though, I think that disagrees with the kidneys' way of thinking. It's odd stuff too, it feels like your lungs coat with ice and you get a little dizzy.

Also, just realised what this thing is about now, D'oh! thought it was just a search for a cheap way to get pissed!

I know who you might be able to see but it's unlikely they'd actually alcohol you up, unless you break into the store...

John

Weather's gross

Pet

So knackered. The daily commute to DCU means leaving the house at 0715, and not getting home until 2330. Plus the bus costs about €10 a day. So I'm just gonna move back out to Halls for the next two and a half weeks!

Awayindahils

I'm ill. And I hate being ill. And I'm ill to the point of drinking 7up and hot water for the placebo effect. And I moan (more) when I'm ill. And i hate being ill.


*This should all be said in a fashion similar to that of Nikki in big brother.

I really really really hate being ill. And there's nothing on tv, and I'm all out of Veronica Mars and Logan is unlikely to be interested in a sick girl, and computers make me dizzy and IM BORED and IM ILL. I hate being ill.


The weather's pox too, but worse 'cos I'm ill.

Agent Smith

anyone else get the Feeling that Awayindahils isnt well?



/me hands hilary a bowl of Chicken soup.

Nietzschean

at least you can stay off school if your sick

John

I bought a CD in Paris and when I got it home and opened up the shrink wrap, the CD was all corroded and ****ed up :mad:

Pet

My wisdom teeth are giving me hell, I had to get heavy-duty painkillers from hospital last night, and I was so spaced I slept in this morning and missed work, which included a free trip to Glendalough. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Also, I can't drink tonight, but I suppose who needs alcohol when you've got codeine derivatives..

return it, it's your statutory right


It's a bit scabby tainting the ethanol, sounds like it totally recks the buzz :O

Nietzschean

uh huh, so fly back to paris to return it?

John

Luckily the record store is where my friend works so I'll just post it to him. However, I won't be able to get a replacement as it was their only copy of a heavily out of print CD (FM Einheit/Caspar Brotzmann's Merry Christmas for those interested).

gg FM Einheit...<3


Wow that's sucky then..;_;

John

Yup. Someday I'll get it and the rest of the Einheit CDs I'm missing (basically everything apart from Neubauten and Radio Inferno).

John

Some good news, it wasn't actually corrosion on the CD, it was something on the outside which with a little elbow grease, a soft cloth and a *lot* of spit mostly came off to allow the CD player to read it.

Some ****ing yanks are talking about some ****ing puppy in ****ing california on the steps of house 8. Time to throw on some loud music.

Awayindahils

Actually speaking of yanks, funniest thing I heard this week, was a conversation bewteen some americans on the way home on the bus. They were complaining baout the cold weather and so forth and were comparing the results of their shopping expidtions. Most of them had bought trinity/ireland/Guiness hoodies and the like. One of them however had found this amazing store called Pennys, and had gotten a track top for 8euro. I mean the place was having some sort of major sale. it was priceless at the time.

Theres alot of Americans staying in UCD too, they're always on my bus. Does Trinity do summer courses for American students, or is it just accomidation?

I'm not sure. I either direct them towards where to buy a student travel card, or turn up music so I can't hear them, and the rare times when I throw pigs out the window at them.

I was talking about the Pennies thing to someone recently actually, funny you should mention that.

Pet

Well I'd rather Americans to Spanish students; Hall is full of them at the moment, and they're SO god damn loud and screechy.

You all hate foreigners?
