I'd still play it WW. Loved theme hospital aswell watching patients puke all over the place.

Loved college when I was there. Best time of my life and I want to go back to retrain or update in a couple of years.

I hate college . Its no fun unless you're a drinker - shame when one can no longer drink

L.Jenkins · 23-10-2011 4:17pm

I never drank. I just loved my course and all the devilment we used to get up to. We used to spend more time playing network games and tormenting the lecturers. So much so, we were well known to the President of the college.

At a graduation ceremony when the president was handing out our certs, he decided to have a quick chat with me there and then holding everyone up :P

ITMA you little divil :eek:

thank feck there wasnt much of a drinking culture at my college. but instead of that they were big on tea parties. hell to the no, etc.....
i just went, did my thang and fecked off home to play runescape or something

college can be very tedious if you dont want to spend at least a third of the time gettingg drunk (and dying of a hangover for at least another quater)

Thanks for that baby. I was a bit of a bully back in the day. Now I've mellowed out something serious. Every generation looks at children and always find the more unruly children a sincere pain in the hole.

WonderWoman! · 23-10-2011 6:20pm

We all bullied someone either intentionally or in my case unintentionally when I was 4 - my mum told me - I hadn't even realised I'd done it

Basically you'd prefer if there was no academic side to college

jaffacakesyum · 23-10-2011 6:54pm

Haha ah no I kid. I do like the academic side but the social side is important too!

dreamer_ire · 23-10-2011 10:44pm

Last episode of Spooks was a bit weak I thought. Wasn't enamoured with the entire last seaon tbh, thought it deserved better.

Aishae · 23-10-2011 11:26pm

Cuppan tae. Is there any better way to end a day?

Tomorrow is due to be mental up here (gales n rain) I hope I don't end up in the Liffey with all the shopping trollies in it

WonderWoman! · 24-10-2011 9:45am

You have no need to worry - you have your very own superhero right here

Aishae · 24-10-2011 9:56am

Good - I might catch something from the trollies! :PAC:

baby and crumble · 24-10-2011 1:16pm

ARGGGH!!! My phone interview for my PhD was cancelled this morning.

Awh no baby why? Have they rescheduled you?

baby and crumble · 24-10-2011 3:22pm

Ah yeah, its rescheduled, but not for a couple of weeks. I was hoping to have all my data collection done by the end of the week (off on Wednesday to do 5 interviews in one day :eek:) so it's a bit of a let down.

Still, shouldn't set me back TOO much.

Annoying though. Could have done with the lie-in, I was up working late last night. But hey, at least people are willing to talk to me, a couple of months ago I was banging my head against a brick wall trying to find people, and it's great that it's being rescheduled rather than cancelled. I'm under no illusions that my PhD is of any precedence to anyone but me!

Definatley Annoying, especially when you've prepared yourself for today with the rest of the week planned around it.
What's the Phd in?

Aishae · 24-10-2011 5:23pm

Final election debate is on tonight - 9.30 I think....

Wonder why they'd cancel a phone interview, it's not like they can blame the weather! At least - as you say - it wa rescheduled. Bloody awkward to have things cancelled at the last minute

baby and crumble · 24-10-2011 11:12pm

It is a bit of a pain, but when you're working with people with disabilities things just crop up that need to be dealt with there and then. It's all good, it'll get done.

WonderWoman! · 24-10-2011 11:15pm

Unlike most things in Ireland
