Ya probably wouldn't be the biggest deal.

Also probably not the best thing to be considering when your making a decision regarding your education.

Also all the other students would probably be about the same age and in the same position.

Plus, we all know about Americans, and their easy women, introducing alcohol would just be like shooting fish in a barrel. :pac:

Different strokes for different folks I guess! hahaha, last year was fine really, very difficult at times, but I had no continuous assessment modules so I just studied my balls off the last month for exams. Now it's just very difficulty 100% of the time. :pac:

What are you doing Frisbee? IT? I'll pay you to do my C++ assignment.

Graduated in Information Systems Management in May, so IT is my field. Not working at the mo, got a second round interview coming up this week so hopefully Ill get my foot on the working ladder, touch wood.....

Never minded Irish really, actually did all of 6th class in an Irish speaking school.

C++ is very very handy for modelling experimental equations and doing mathematical algorithms, especially considering the library of mathematical objects on the internet already!

The project is on making a model of a blood tranfusion clinic, involving the time it would take a customer to get to the clinic, the time in the queue (which is then dependant on the amount of nurses working at each station, and how efficient each one is) and then the time actually getting their blood taken, and the time went leaving. It's difficult, especially considering we've only had about 16 hours of lectures on computer programming ever.


Anyway, less of the nerding. WIMMINS!

Update on Santa Strike Force/Xbox OTT Donation

Just wanted to post up a bit more information, and update yis as to how things are panning out. Also, for anyone who is reading about this project for the first time, here is a link to what it is all about.

I was in touch with DeV today, and he thinks it's a great idea.

I think with SSF, usually the policy is to just donate money, or buy stuff off a specified list from Amazon. However, seeing as we have a particular item we want to donate, and one which Amazon doesn't deliver to Ireland, DeV has giving us the green light to source the Xbox and game from wherever, and have it shipped to an address he will be providing me with. This gives us great flexibility, as we can now source the best possible bundle. If anyone works in a games shop, or somewhere that does Xboxs, and reckons they could get us a good deal on one, then speak up, that would be a great help.

DeV has said that they usually start distributing the stuff in or around Dec. 21st, so ideally, I would like to have all the gear with him by Wed. the 18th at the latest.

As of 11.30 pm tonight, there has been €120 pledged, with 10 people pledging. As I said previously, I think we need to be aiming towards the €230 mark, so another 11 pledges would do it. I guess by the end of the weekend (30th) I should have a very clear idea as to how it is panning out. Obviously though, we welcome as many pledges as possible, as the money can be used to donate even further.

Any ideas, suggestions, and even criticism, is welcomed. The more feedback and contribution, the better.

Frisbee

Sounds good Charlie. I urge anyone who hasn't already pledged to do so now!
It's a great cause and it's only a tenner!

Charlie, I'm willing to pay more if we're stuck.

Evenin lads, how are we all? I'm absolutely ken-ackered so hittin d hay now.

I spent the evening staring at the TV but I was just not watchin what was on. I'm destroyed. The missus called up after a 12 hour shift and we were like a scene from Dawn of the Dead with the sleepy heads on us.

Missed the gym this evenin cos of d meeting with the boss meanin one less fitness session before Ive to step onto a mat and fight another oversized man in just over a week. Great.

Sure, we'll see how things play out. Obviously it would be a group decision, but I am not adversed to widening the appeal to Soccer in general, if needs be (But my preference would be to keep it within OTT, small steps and all that). But as I said previously, I will be reviewing things at the weekend when I should have a clear picture of how well we're getting on.

How often do you go toe-to-toe with someone out of curiosity. I assume you have a long enough recuperation period after each fight?

I train all the time. Havent done any comps in ages though. Tbh I'm just enterin for the craic so that 2008 wont be a competition free year for me. ill liekly get my @ss handed to me but feck it, it'll be fun.

My mate fought twice in 3 weeks last month. It depends. U could fight twice in a weekend if u win without takin damage or u could not be able to move for a week after. It all depends on the damage u takee really. Sure Ive been out of trainin for weeks as a result of getting bashed in training!

Yeah sorry I meant a proper fight over a training spar!
How often would it happen though that you could fight without taking any damage? I'd say not very often unless your the best?
(Not just for you, I mean in general)

Well every fights different really. I mean you could go out, get taken down and choked/armbarred/triangled etc and you would be fit to fight pretty much 5 seconds after tapping (unless u tap too late, then u got a few weeks in a cast if it was an armbar or you're wakin up wonderin where u were if its a choke/traingle) or u could go out, get KTFO and be gonzo for a month or two.

Ive never seen anything too serious tbh. Worst Ive seen was a 30 day medical suspension for a concussion suffered. The lad it happened to was grand after a day or two after the jaw healed up. Tbh its only bruises, if u dont value your purty face then you're laughin tbh! I havent fought pro MMA yet though, will be makin the ol debut next year, pprobably with a devastating defeat like most 1st timers!! The fight im takin is only amateur rules so no headshots - (hence why im not particularly bothered). I've built up a lot of experience from bein involved in camps/cornering with my training partners. As the fights get close training effectively turns to full contact, and Ive taken some beatings!!
