    Its what it says on the tin .. an open day allowing people to see the college and see if they would like to go there.

    Now.. i dont know if you attended the open day for UL when you were deciding but I can imagine that you wouldnt like to badged that way..

    We could point out that as a first year in October you are still getting used to the place :p

    At least the open day, is not in January like it used to be, when you were studying for exams, loads of people tromping through the library or the labs.. And thats when exams were after christmas..

    Some random memories of UL:

    - Mini breakfasts in the Paddocks
    - Free finger food on friday evenings in the Scholars
    - Some guy randomly shouting "Jesuuuuuuuus!" at the top of his lungs in the library and getting lead away by security
    - Bushrunning (don't ask)
    - Out of tune pianos in the C block
    - Dropping bouncy balls from the top floor of the CSIS into the atrium
    - Catching couples shagging in the Jonathan Swift, twice
    - Drunkenly sending "net send" messages to technophobes in the Vax labs, telling them to log off, and watching them log off :D
    - ****e coffee, beer and music in the Stables
    - Watching everyone go ecstatic over The Frames for the fourth time in one year

    Is there any need for that in all fairness?!:(

    ...There are more pupils here from outside Limerick, so why confine yourself to the areas you mentioned?

    Cson, next time you're in your law lecture take a look around you. You might be surprised to find hte person sitting behind you is from Southill/ Moyross/ Weston etc etc.:)


    Hear, hear!

    In the csis it was brutally annoying but in the vax, sending a net send to some clueless bebo-browsing business student saying "This is God - please log off now" and watching them log off and leave was one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen.

    Learning how to escape prosecution and all that ;)

    Ah no seriously, I'll hold my hands up and say I generalised but there's no denying there was a large whack of skobies only there to hassle and possibly rob people. I saw a few groups going over to secondary school kids and hassling them. They could have been from Castletroy for all I know but mention Limerick and anti-social behauvior to anyone around and you know what place they'll think of. Media's fault for the most part.

    Back to the grindstone tomorrow :p:(

    Back before Bebo, the interwebs, and the invention of time, there were DEC Vax computers in there... I assume. The "Vax labs" seem to refer to the two other labs behind Venus too - Callisto and Io.

    Thanks to upgrading to XP, I think they've disabled the Messenger service on all the ITD PCs now :( Good times were had.

    E.g.: 
    x: 
net send * hahhahahaahhahahahahahah

    Yup before the dawn of time that is what existed there and the name has since stuck.. like when they created new offices where the old library used to be, it was still known as the library corridor for a while afterwards

    There were 2 people from Moyross in my class and they are absolutely among the most decent people I've ever met.

    Next time there's a BULBs we won't mention it to ya, we'll just shine the bat light up into the sky, but instead of a bat sign, it'll be one of a pint.
