    The SEC should have got the new paper out last night. It's ironic that every newspaper in Ireland managed to publish something about it and they received the news late last night and I could get the newspaper at 7am in my local shop. The SEC received the info at 4:30pm and they could have sent it out then.

    Same here. And that's a good thing.

    Eamon Keane on Newstalk had a better show on it all. Very humourous.
    Even Spin1038 got youth being more logical and less worked up earlier on their talk show.

    Joe pulls in the moaners. But, in fairness, some good points.
    And makes great entertainment.

    (I still think this was handled very badly, however)
    Someone on Radio Kerry last night described it as very entertaining...

    What a clown!:pac:

    You are new to boards but it should be clear. If you make stupid insulting comments about your uninformed opinions, someone is going to call you on them.



    I dont know about this but it was when I did my leaving cert (2002). The computer programming course I did required a C in honours english. Pretty much nothing I had learnt for the leaving cert was needed in the end.

    It is not an uninformed opinion to believe that if you are exceptionally poor at something, they should give you all the marks for it just for being so bad at it.. It is my opinion and I did not post it to start an argument, it's a forum, a meeting place of ideas. If someone wants to argue the point then fine but "I hope you fail lawl??" is just over the top, I'm not being spiteful it is just my belief. I understand that people in that situation see it from another perspective, but that's life. I see it this way from mine. I am open to other people's ideas but this does not mean I feel mine are inferior for being opposite to another persons'.

    Who are these people criticizing others for not learning 5 poets. Every year people have to make sacrafices in the material they study based on importance and predictability. One of the most important factors of the Leaving Cert is choosing the right material to cover and with some people doing up to 9 subjects it's just not possible to cover every facit of the course. So yes people do base their studies on past experience and advise from others. It is ridiculous to call people lazy because they are trying to space out their workload. These students have every right to be annoyed when they see that this small but vital risk has paid off but because of some mentally challenged man that cannot differentiate between the number 1 and 2 they have been screwed out of the perfect paper.

    I know about that silly petition, I've been getting pointless messages last night telling me about it.

    It won't achieve anything. Plus, a good amount of the comments are trolling and general idiocy. Even if it did go through, if, the higher ups wouldn't take it seriously. Not with, 'LOL GUYZ IM MCBETHHH SUCKS FOR YE ROLF!!!!!'.

    I heard 2000+. Seems like nobody really knows. Either way, we'll call it a fair few.

    No one's saying that the whole situation isn't a disaster. But just because a gamble is almost certain to pay off doesn't mean it's not a gamble.

    I laughed so hard at this post.

    It is quite a good example of the crap that's being spammed on AllHonours.ie (it was always a festering pit of whingers that can't spell nor speak to save their lives).

    For example: "pls sume1 hlep wit da elgnsnih xam!!!???????? OMFG PLS?????

    You study two women, one will come up. If you honestly think each poet has an equal chance of coming up then you probably haven't studied enough...

    I think it's somewhat entertaining.

    Mainly the people being all, 'ZOMG MY LIFE IS RUINED OH NOES ;___;'.

    Although, I must admit that that probably was my perfect paper.

    But, oh well. Let's move on, eh?

    Someone refresh my memory because from this mornings interviews from one of the Chief Examiners she said the people involved only saw the poets but on here they reported the whole thing, so who is BSing?

    I've popped onto that site, and I've contributed some material on occasion. The bloody textspeak would drive you crazy.

    I am convinced that it's actually just a place where trolls go each day. Bet they just wake up under their bridges, pack a lunch and wander there just to spam together in unison.

    Hang on, trawling for a good 'un on there:

    Agreed. And even if the date was changed (massive italics on that thar IF), as soon as it was announced there'd be another petition complaining about the new date.

    If someone so much as drops a pen in maths 1 tomorow, there'll be petition to discount the leaving cert entirely and give everyone 600 points :).
