Oh it's the worst thing, travelling home after a defeat, I'll never forget the bus back from Belfast after City's defeat to Linfield, had to be up for college then two hours after I got home, not pleasant lol.

Although it would serve her right for travelling all the way :pac:, can only imagine what her workplace would be like on Tuesday (seemingly all Munster fans) if they were to lose.

Many will have moved on to another bandwagon.

Actually i can differentiate between a Yorkshire, London, Sheffield, Manchester, Northampshire and Plymouth accent pretty well.

And that's before i even begin to watch the better half's soaps.
Somehow I don't think i count as 99%

Also meant to say, any time I'm in Dublin all the Dubs think I've a Northern accent, and when I was in Tralee about a third thought I was Scottish and another third thought I was ****in English.:rolleyes:

To be fair, i know a couple of guys from Monaghan that sound like they're Nordies. They took major offence to it initially but now they just laugh it off.

The Scottish and English comparisons are ones I don't get at all.

Outside Dundalk there's a fair amount of northern-type accents. In the Cooley peninsula it's almost a Donegal accent they have, and over along Monaghan and that there's plenty of what you Dubs would call Northern accents. :P Funnily enough no-one from Dundalk thinks I've a northern accent.

The scottish and english comparison probably just comes from the fact that all they know is the south-west culchie accent, the dub and the northern accents. Most of them hadn't a clue where Dundalk was ffs. :P

Which milk was that? I thought Champion was based in Monaghan, didn't realise there was much of a dairy scene here in town. :P

Yeah they're starting Tuesday for me. Have a good bit done though so hopefully will be fine. What's everyone studying? I'm doing chemistry and forensic science.

ShawnRaven

Currently doing my T-Dip in IT to make the transition from technician to teacher/trainer.

Got a mock exam on Education Principles & Practice on wednesday, ICT exam about a week and a half after that, and the proper EP&P exam two weeks further after that. I'm not sweating it, the ICT part I will breeze through due to spending 10 years in the industry, which leaves me with more time to study for EP&P.

pingu_girl

Studying Business, starting my last 4 Tuesday also.

Already have 6 exams down and 2 100% continuous assessments in with 1 dirty fail in that 8 so I'm back in August for the repeat/session already wahey! just gotta make sure its not 2 now

dez_warlock

That's handy having some done already. I've twelve exams coming up! 10 Chemistry, 1 Forensic Forensic Psychology and 1 Toxicology. It's a long month ahead

ShawnRaven

I hate trying to study, i really do! This isn't going too well for me at all. At present i'm just typing out answers to potential exam questions, but i'm suffering the whole "I know what i want to write, but it's not coming out the way i want it to" syndrome.

And i've a whole bank holiday weekend of this sh*t ahead of me. 3/10 questions done so far, with tuesday and wednesday to then study my answers to prep me for Wednesday evening's mock.

That's the plan, f*ck knows if it'll work.

Leinster looking good ATM. Studying is the worst thing ever :mad:

Only if they'll have a referee who will enforce the rules.

I think we need to see Pacman/Mayweather. Both fights with Floyd would do great business but as much as I like Ricky but I think Pacman would test Floyd at this stage alot more.

Well, it's wet and windy outside, generally just one of those miserable days. Thank Christ it's a bank holiday, I ain't even thinking of venturing outside today. I'm gonna make a few bacon and egg sandwiches, a cup of tea, put my feet up and watch Shrek, then Shrek 2.

Life is good.

Diabhal Beag

I'm just gonna saty in bed all day and relax

Just finishin a breakfast roll that was bought for me this morning, but I'm only up. Curry, rice and chips coming up soon. :P

Might watch Planet Earth or something later on.

ShawnRaven

Still got my head buried in a folder and a laptop doing sample exam questions (hence my general quietness all weekend). Doesn't look like they'll be that tricky though. Only a handful more and i'm done. I might even have time to do something tonight outside of study.

Gerard.C

Been hitting the Philiosphy meself today. Plato, Luhman and Marx to be exact. Plato is ridiculous imo, but he keeps it simple, so I'll give his question a right crack Friday now

pingu_girl

Marketing exam in the morning at it all day - till about 4am tonight maybe even an all nighter. Same question for 50% every year, material is easy out but theres a crazy amount of material.

ShawnRaven

I've just spent the last two days re-writing answers to 8 out of 9 exam questions! I'm about to finish my last one. Some of these f*cking things better come up on the actual papers or i'll riot!

Just discovered i've a second part of an assignment from the other week due in on wednesday.
Suck it up time now.

dez_warlock

Lanthanide chemistry tomorrow! Shouldn't be too bad, I hope!

ShawnRaven

Ditched windows off the laptop over this weekend too. Now ununtu 8.10 powered.
Virus free for life.

Bye bye microsoft, it's been fun, but not really!
