Is the new album worth buying? I've only heard songs on the radio and wasnt blown away with what i heard. The new Alice in Chains stuff sounded a lot better

Its good. A lot shorter than previous albums but its still excellent - check out The End, fantastic stuff

I love the AIC record as well though! Best comeback album I've heard in a long while

Ok, I just had a dream that UCC was invaded by zombies and it made me think, where would you go if it was?

I've the ORB (too much glass and entrances) and the Boole (too hard to block the stairway) crossed off anyway. Yes I've thought about this a lot.:eek:

I've had many a conversation about this.Best places would be Kane(lots of chemicals),and the top of the East,West and North Wing as you could pick them off from distance.

I'd pick the distillery building because i doubt the zombies would walk that far:D

Anybody here doing an engineering course? Just wondering because i just got a fairly random email (that was sent to all engineers) from some guy in civil engineering that wants to cast some people in a nudist film that he is going to make. Yes, that is right, a nudist film!

Anyone else come arcoss this?

I think that would only be if they were college student zombies. What if they were those mad feckers from 28 Days Later?!

nothing to eat in there though. long term survival might be an issue.

and the top of the East,West and North Wing as you could pick them off from distance.

with what?
and the lines of sight are poor, unless the zombies do a graduation style march across the quad you'd have trouble going counterstrike sniper on them.

basically I'd stick with any of the old buildings that are more than two stories. write off the ground floor so you're only defending stairwells and go medieval on them.

Looks like Boardsies have really thought about this zombie invasion!

You bring your stockpiled food that you had incase of a zombie outbreak.

With your sniper rifle,everyone should have one incase of a zombie outbreak.Along with a chainsaw,they are invaluable.Those stones would be good for barricading doors too in the North Wing.

Id say hide out in the library. The zombies would probably be so pissed off at all the people talking in there the inability to find a computer that they'd probably just leave anyway










*That is taking into sonsideration these might be scholarly zombies

I hadnt thought of that. Ok i pick the windle building because i'm pretty sure 90% of students don't know where it is so i presume zombies wont know either

I'm in the 10% that do know!! - just a thought, if zombies did appear, wouldn't they be originating from with the Windle building judging by what departments are in there??

the chances of them being able to use rfid cards are also somewhat slim.
imagine a zombie hoard foiled by UCC security systems. the mind boggles.

on that point - doesn't the biosciences have key card lifts and super secure upper floors? (with one completely open way in) you might be able to hole up in there and even work on a cure.

We should come up with a foolproof plan and then sticky it here. That way all us Boardsies will survive! :P

Anatomy and physiology - there are cadavars kept there for the medical students

Just got a result for an assignment there - 5% of module - FAIL. Guess why?

Because on the email I sent I put the last digit of my student number as a 2 instead of a 1 by a mistake. BUT the assignment attachment (a maths file) had a title with the correct student number, as did the actual assignment itself.

Crazy ****.

That is realy stupid and not fair at all. Losing 5% of a module cause of a tiny mistake in your student number...not even the assignment itself. But sure the lecturer/corrector never makes mistakes i guess :rolleyes:

I say go and challenge the result.

If the campus was indeed invaded by zombies, i would go straight for the secretarys office in the Geography building. Because not evening flesh eating sub-humans could put up with the cretins inhabiting that office.
