Java's Cafe Bar on Campus - your say

Java's Cafe Bar

Guys what odds can I get on the opening date?

We are looking good for Monday, although despite wanting to defy non-believers we will not be opening on Monday. We lost a day on the floor stripping and varnishing and we are not fully confident on having enough time for staff training.

So the day of opening (touch wood) is Wednesday morning. We are tinkering with the idea of Tuesday night - if so we'll put it here first.

By the way we are now looking for help with our music. If you have the time we'd love to get the following info

Desert Island Itunes: You are stuck on a desert Island and magically have the abillity to download 10 tunes to an Ipod you found under a palm tree please name the 10 tunes you download - give us your name (or alias), class and three words to describe yourself and we'll put it on our sound system if we like it. Feel free to comment on the tunes you choose (or not).

It's just a bit of fun - you an Private message us or post it here.

cheers

Feck off! You get no say in the matter! You're a nobody now!

Damn, and there I was planning to have my morning coffee in Java's after my 9 o'clock start on Monday. Oh well. *sniff, sniff*

Bluedolphin banned indefinitely for I AM SOMEBODY!

bluedolphin

I didn't say you weren't somebody; clearly you are 'somebody'!

I said you are 'a nobody'. The insertion of 'a' implies that the term nobody is being used as a noun with a specific meaning relating to the matter under discussion, as distinct from its general definition of there not being anybody.

Therefore, 'a nobody' in this circumstance is 'a somebody' (you) who is not a student.

Pffft!

It all makes so much sense now!!!

You don't get a say either! I'm in a harsh mood!

cson

Away with ye, Alumni!

The oul publicity machine is a bit rusty for the opening of the Café, bar this thread I wouldn't have really know it was there tbh

MilfordBud

Well lads, off campus on Co-Op, did this place open? What's it like?

cson

Still wasn't open at 12 today when I was walking past...

PeakOutput

its got brown wooden floors with brwon leather seats not sofas really but kinda wall seats

all the other seats i could see where stools and there is a small bar in the far left corner

klong

I was in, looks very well and was comfortably busy

Food is very good

cson

It's all a bit meh. Nothing I haven't seen before tbh, nothing radical or revolutionary, all the same its nice to have an alternative to the stables, it's certainly a helluva lot classier. Didn't check the prices but I'd imagine its on the expensive side by the look of things. Anyway good luck to them, I hope it works out cos we need an alternative to the stables! (Im only here 4 weeks and I can see that.)

Paddocks, canteen, resteraunt, plaza.:rolleyes:

cson

Without prejudice to the other food operators, two of those outlets are run by the same people as the Stables and the other two are run by the people who operate almost all of the food outlets on campus. Not necessarily an alternative then, though certainly an alternative location.

Oh yeah and none of the above outlets serve anything stronger than coffee.

bluedolphin

It resurfaces painful memories of the Scholars...will it ever be the same though???

cson

Painful memories? I thought ye liked the place!

Must go for a pint on the way home from this Excel lab this evening.

bluedolphin

Painful in that it hurts to recall the place that is no longer there! Remembering the Scholars (RIP) ignites pain!!!

Enjoy Excel! :eek:

cson

Ah but Java could be the new and improved phoinex from the ashes of the scholars. With food.

bluedolphin

The Scholars' had food!

Shuddup yor face, you know nawt what you're talking 'bout! Yun'un!
