On another note, anybody see that Limerick got in the news because a fan was being 'abusive' towards Professor Green? Spin were covering the story earlier ha
Saw the videos of it alright, I'd say it was six of one, half of the other to be honest. Professor Green doesn't seem like the most eloquent of folk in fairness, but it probably comes down to the discussion we've been having here.
The 'abusive student' was probably down in the Stables pinting away all day, probably hadn't a clue who Professor Green was, and this morning can't remember calling him w*nker

That's exactly what it probably was or it was some student being egged on by his/her friends to shout something at him and Professor Green has been known to have a temper so he couldn't handle it.
Of course it will be the student and UL that are defamed for it.0 -

Quite ironic really that UL's Charity Week is making the news for the wrong reasons today, seeing as the SU President sent out an email yesterday evening (before the concert) urging people to "stay classy" or there'll be no chance of having a ULFest later on in the year.
I'm sure Mr. McCutcheon won't be too impressed with the negative press today :rolleyes:
Will be interesting to see if the University follow up on the threat not to hold the festival because of "negative reports from Charity week".
Also, Professor Green tweeted yesterday:
"Absolute madness at Limerick Uni. I’ve been asked not to call it RAG week because of the bad press associated with the term. Whoops"
Jeez he's so funny...
Maybe that student shouting at him was right after all..

Oh yeah that's very true, although I do think that was sent out because they knew Wednesday was supposed to be the biggest night. They send out a warning every time before the Wednesday show - I've been an M&M every year and we are always told how crazy Wednesday or Thursday could be so it was probably the university and SU pres trying to cover their a**** before anything happened since they don't want it on their own back.
Funny that the SU pres sent the e-mail especially since he is the one who got into 'office' because of his promise of ULFest - everyone I spoke to during the election week, told me that was why they voted for him so if ULFest gets cancelled then his no.1 promise is gone - probably why he is trying so hard to defend it and keep it going!
Ha did he really send that? I didn't see at all - that's typical though. Anybody who didn't or doesn't go to an Irish university would never understand 'rag' week and would make a stupid comment about it.. Ugh, the student probably was right :P
I was actually surprised the SU got Professor Green, he's a pretty big name to get considering the mediocre acts we usually have, ha.0 -

*Only in Limerick*
Was on the 304 yesterday around 5pm from UL, packed as usual..I had a big bag with me so I was standing near the front. Got into the city anyway and another huge crowd got in. The last guy in had a big plastic Dunnes shopping bag. The bang of drink off him was something else, he was standing directly across from me muttering away.
Anyway, the bus pulls out and heads for Ballycummin, next thing I know this drunk dude is pulling cans out of his Dunnes bag, grand that's just Limerick for you. But what happened next was pure magic.
He stuck his hand back into the bag, flicked a button and started blaring 80's rock anthems in the middle of the bus
he had a stereo in his shopping bag, not a single fcuk given!
I thought I was going to burst trying not to laugh at him.
All this time there was a woman sitting up the front of the bus throwing this cool dude the dirtiest of looks. She was on the phone to (I presume) Sky/Eircom trying to cancel a direct debit or something, in the end she had to request a call back later on because the music was so loud.
What was even better was, I was getting the bus home at Arthur's Quay today and there was the legend still blaring the chunes on his ghetto blaster.
By far and away the highlight of my Rag week anyway!! :pac:0 -

My housemate's key got stuck in the door, so only naturally he put his foot in it (literally) to make a hole he could climb out. Bye bye deposit, really would've loved to have spent you on a new guitar
Go straight to your landlord and inform them. The housemate should be the only one to pay for that0 -

The mind really does boggle
What goes through fellas heads when they decide to do this kinda thing?!
What age/year is he in if you don't mind me asking? Surely even if you're only 18 years of age and the freshest of freshers, you wouldn't dream of doing this?
As ricimaki said above, make it clear to your landlord that this had nothing to do with you.0 -

What probably goes through their head is: "Ah shur, Mammy/Daddy'll handle it. Be grand."0 -

Also make it clear to him that he is paying for the new door.0 -

This thread will be dead in the coming year given that nearly everyone in it is in their final year
The happy days thread might take over from this one.
7650 posts here compared to 580 there... We might be sending the wrong message to people interested in going to UL
Anyway, back to bitching.
As iLaura said, us electronic and computer engineers have to have our FYP reports done and dusted by Thursday, even though its not due in until the following Tuesday. I guarantee I'll look through the report and spot lots of errors between then.:(0 -

Advice I got a few years ago was "Once you've printed it, don't look at it. By then it's too late, and there's nothing you can do about it, so just submit it and forget about it."
I know it's easier said than done though. :P0
