    After reading through the thread I can safely say fair play Fad. A lot of these answers are similar to ones I'd give.

    If you could remove one country from existence what one would it be and why?

    Some small crappy one like Togo.

    Or Somalia, them and their pesky not badass pirates!

    Have you enjoyed your period in the play-pen?

    Any advice for future play-pen cadidates?

    Who's your favourite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?

    Yep, didnt think it'd get any response considering my slightly erratic behaviour a couple of days ago! I did think people would have asked some more I dunno, prying questions, but meh.

    Nah, it's pretty self explanatory.

    Michaelangelo's the orange one right? Me likey the orange one.

    What course are you going to change to?

    Has college lived up to your expectations after receiving your results?

    Are you still living at home? What is this like? ( I assume you have loads of friends in crappy accommodation with a distinct lack of adult supervision!)

    Do you find having 2 jobs and a college course eats into your time?

    Good answers to the previous questions by the way!

    MSISS in TCD or Engineering somewhere. (Hopefully)

    College has been, so far, seriously underwhelming. It just isnt what its made out to be.

    Yes (I live a 45 minute walk from UCD, moving out would just be a little self indulgent!). I hate it, less to do with my lack of ridiculous freedom, but more to do with my family. We're not really getting on at the moment and I really cant see myself managing ANOTHER 4+ years of this sans breakdown of some description.

    Nah it's fine, I enjoy one of them and its only 5 hours spread over the week. Other one is on Sunday's, and I really dont like it........ >_<

    College has been, so far, seriously underwhelming. It just isnt what its made out to be. Interesting, I'm the opposite to be honest, UL is better than i thought it was going to be. The course so far has been a pile of cack but the clubs and socs are making it the best time of my life so far...hence a very nervous exam results time!

I was interested to know because if I had to live at home i'd end up punching the walls or something! For various reasons most of my weekends are spent in Limerick and when I do come home I really look forward to going back to Limerick again!

    Thanks for answering by the way!

    Oh Jesus.....I'm not going to manage a petrol station later in life.......*shudder*

    If I go the businessy route it'll be something financey maybe, I dunno.

    Tempted to stick UCC (Or whatever) down as number one and not mention it to any of my family, get it, be stuck with it, and bail off down the country!

    STAY AWAY FROM BUSINESS!

    I'm doing a business course atm, it's a load of charlie brown. I'm currently filling out the cao as I realised I don't want to be doing it the rest of my life.

    I've a friend in Msiss and she likes it far as I know. In fact, she's here on boards, more of a lurker though.

    It's not really the business end of MSISS I want, it's more the Management Science and practical computing end I'm interested in.

    What don't you like about your current course, Fad?

    Why are you and your family always fighting?

    What I'm learning in general.


    The way people who dont choose to do computer science through the CAO are kinda ****ed over when it comes to continuing computer science next year.....

    Dunno, we never really got on that well to begin with, but it's been getting steadily worse recently (Couple of months). I need to move out........

    If you could be fluent in a language, which would you choose?
    If you could change one thing about yourself, what'd it be?
    Favourite dessert?
    Is there better toast out there? :eek:

    Properly at Irish, or Japanese.

    Er, physique in general? As insulating and fun as the belly is......

    Dunno, I'd rarely have dessert when out, I'd prefer a coffee normally (Yes, I know, I'm a freak)

    No, but I need a new toaster, it was dying two months ago and it's worse now!

    Yes, very much so.

    (Fire away :))

    Congratulations Fad on your sterling performance in the Playpen. You've set a very high standard for the rest of us to follow.

    Up next week is everybody's favourite poet, yours truly: Insect Overlord.
    We'll be kicking off on Saturday evening. I'm looking forward to it :)
