    Weird, I don't get it. Has anyone ever expected an engineer to be 'all that' in a sexy way?

    Saw this thread before coming in to first year last September. Have been ticking things off all year. I've written down/ ticked off the ones I've done somewhere, so I'll find and post them sometime. I think I'm at around 30ish.

    Also, wondering why No. 17 says go to the <snip>? I've looked at the previous thread mentioned in the first post, so I know what the thing is, but why isn't the name shown?

    I've done 6 :pac:

    27 at the end of first year, whats a reasonable target by this time next year?

    Also, I think using an obscure law from the old college charters should be a thing on the list

    e.g. the Guy who asked for Porter at the end of his finals, invigilator knew this rule existed so got him some but also fined him five shillings for not being in possession of a sabre while the request was made.


    or you know, shoot a catholic from the campanmile

    52. Give your parents/granny a tour

    I started in Trinity in 2002, finished undergrad in 2007, went back for 2011/2012 and after 6 years in total at Trinity I can say that today I finally did nos. 52 and 86. :D

    That brings me to 77 overall I think.
