I can haz general discussion?

Yes, hats!! So people can recognise each other.

And so they won't end up sitting opposite the boards beers for about an hour because you don't know where everyone is. Of course, that never happened to me ¬__¬

We were busy speculating about who Declan06's new mot was:p

21 to go.

The university sent out an email about the parking situation (I'll let somebody else rage about the parking situation, it doesn't really bother me that much)

But I thought this bit was interesting

Measures to promote cycling and car sharing will also be implemented ahead of the next academic year.

Now Car Sharing is a lost cause.

But the measures to promote cycling sound interesting, any ideas what they might be?

The new level crossing across the kilcock road has a stop/go light for bicycles. so maybe cycling between across the two campuses will be an option in the future. But what else could they do?

i think a secure bicycle parking area would be a great addition to the campus. For a small fee, you get access to a covered bicycle storage area where your bike is less likely to get robbed.

Great idea, but moot unless the University is willing accept responsibility for thefts that take place in one of these secure shelters...

I said less likely, the university won't accept responsibility for theft nor should it(Did they tell somebody to go steal your bike? no, they did? well maybe you should have locked it)

but the idea is that bikes will be less likely to be stolen if they are locked to a stand inside a small building with CCTV and restrictions on who can access it, then if they are left outside.

banquo

Such an entrance restriction would almost certainly be swipe access, so they'd have a record of everyone who entered and the time they swiped in, as well as CCTV footage.

(I'll post up any more info when I have it)

I just seen the email there and the parking on South campus I can see could cause a lot of problems.

Can anyone tell me why cars are being allowed to park on the road at the entrance to the South Campus?

Sweeping up broken glass would be nice. It was barely worth repairing punctures last year, you'd just get another one the next morning.

It would be even nicer if people didn't smash glass bottles every time they went out. :rolleyes:

If they got a road sweeper to clear up the glass once in a while it certainly would be a good start and would make the campus better for cyclists, pedestrians and motorists alike

The swimming pool is closed at the minute, just in case anyone is thinking of heading there.

Tesco Massacre

So where am I supposed to urinate now?

Seren_

Or fap :pac: It's apparently the pool with the most semen in it in Ireland.

Duddy

It is one damn sexy swimming pool:p

Ms. Koi

We had swimming lessons in there in Secondary School, it used to freak me out!

Baile an Locha

Thinking of getting t-shirts printed for the Cuallacht, any recommendations of places that do tshirt printing??

I know this is extremely last minute, but I have a ticket for the Morrissey gig tonight in Vicar Street if anyone wants it? A number of factors have collided causing my inability to go >.<

/plays Life Is A Pigsty on repeat for the evening.

I know I wish I could have made it, might have cheered up and stopped me from having a very bad day on Sunday. Ah well. I hear yous had to put up with the onslaught of Kristeen Young though :P

There's a bird on top of the window of meeting room 3 and it's distracting!

A shambo is the shamrock shaped sandwich that O'Briens offer. Just FYI.
