So hip he can’t be square(igloo); one of the few people to put more effort into finding Interpol than they put into finding him; such a towering intellect that he’s dissolved into giggles at jokes whose punch-lines were “only if the horse was completely spherical and in a vacuum” and “and then Descartes disappeared”. He does like Six Feet Under, but in the context of his general amazingness we’ll forgive him that. All in all a super cool blend of virulent cynicism and absolute apathy- everyone please put your hands together and resist the urge to become naked, we know him, we love him (though he’s coolly indifferent to us at best), our Nicky Wire hating, Christina Hendricks loving, Corkonian corker of a mod...
KnifeWRENCH!
Thank you Caleb Rich Rainfall for that perfectly adequate introduction. I hereby deem it to be of "acceptable" standard.
First in, woohoo! Can I haz medal plz?
No. No you may not.
Do you enjoy modding this nut house C&H or is it a pain in the backside?
It's grand most of the time; there's hardly ever any trouble (I just jinxed that now, didn't I) and whenever any bad shit does go down it's always either Insect or Piste who's online! :pac: So yes, I do enjoy it. One thing I don't like doing is having to infract or ban users who I get on with, but rules is rules and I try to be as impartial as I can.
Best C&H moment/thread/post yet?
Best moment - I don't know if I could pick just one. But the Jizzlers was definitely a highlight (even though I didn't win anything. :mad: Yes, I am still bitter....) The Jizzlers showed how much the forum has grown and how much of a community has formed, and I think that's really cool considering the huge amount of opposition to this forum before it even got set up.
Best thread I think is "Soundtrack to Your Angst" just for the sheer amount of awesome music (and some, let's be honest, crap!) that's in it.
Best post? Easy:What did one bean say to the other bean? Hello bean!
What's your favourite Interpol song?
Untitled. One of the most perfect intros to an album you'll ever hear in your life. A close second would be The Heinrich Maneuver, which is the catchiest most awesome pop song ever and yet manages to retain insane coolness. :cool:
Have you ever seen them live before?
Nope. I'm very excited at the prospect of November now.
Were you shocked and amazed that time we got to meet deise and soccy in Stephen's Green?
I was. It was an extraordinary sight. I think it was quite rude of them not to come over and say hello though....
If you could be any type of vegetable in the world, what would you be and why?
Erm....zucchini. Simply because it's a funny word.Favourite UCC boardsie? *cough * cough
Caleb Rich Rainfall will kill me if I don't say her (but of course it's really you deise!)
What is your top 3 favourite bands?
Very tough choice. I'm gonna go with Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead and The Breeders but there are at least 10 other bands that would vie for fourth place.
What is your favourite book?
Don't really have one absolute favourite, but A Clockwork Orange is pretty amazing. The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy is also brilliant.
Favourite square number?
i² - it does so much!Deleted User wrote: »Favourite movie?
I'm not much of a movie person. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a timeless classic that's always gonna be hard to top. Another contender (even though it was only released last year) is Inglourious Basterds. I really love that film.
Favourite food?
Walkers Thai Sweet Chilli crisps - OMNOMNOM.....
Favourite class you've had so far in your course?
On the physics side, Nuclear and Particle Physics is fascinating. On the Maths side, Graph Theory is really cool.
If you hadn't become a maths/physics nerd, what other course might you be doing?
Probably Geography, as that was my favourite subject in school after Maths and Physics.

Generic:
- Favourite meaning of \o/?
Person cheering. I used to love the 'vagina' interpretation, until someone pointed out that this would make o/ 'half a vagina'. That was not a pleasant thought.....
- Do you like to dance? If not, whyever not? :O
I love dancing, but I need to have a couple of drinks in me before I do it. Also, I use the word dancing in the lightest sense of the word. I have no sense of rhythm whatsoever.
- What irritates you most about society, and what do you like most about it?
Oh God. I could write a thesis on the things that piss me off about society.
Scumbags is an obvious one; those so-called tough **** who just hassle people on the street for absolutely no reason sicken me. Anyone who attacks or impedes an emergency service vehicle deserves to die in a house fire or similar; it would be karmic retribution.
Homophobia also really pisses me offt, as does the idea that a loving couple can't get married and adopt kids just because they're the same gender is really hard for me to get my head around.
What do I like about society? The fact that the vast majority of people you encounter in life have at least some shred of decency. It's reassuring to feel that the entire universe isn't full of pricks who are just out to get you.
Others:
- Maths or physics, and why?
I hate both equally! :pac: But I'm gonna say Maths, simply because I can't stand experimental physics. I'm much more of a theorist than an experimentalist, and there's more scope to go down that route in Maths than there is in Physics.
- What do you think the nicest branch of maths is? Like, I think analysis is pretty, but you seem to hate it.. :pac:
I don't hate analysis - I just hate having to study it! I prefer calculus to analysis, and I think abstract and linear algebra are both very "nice". Although my last abstract algebra exam was a failure of UK-Eurovision entry proportions. 
- Nicest flavour(s) of ice-cream?
CHOCOLATE! Without weird stuff lurking beneath it, like nuts or frickin' slices of banana (Onion will know what I'm on about here!)
Toffee and strawberry are also really nice. I don't like plain vanilla - it's way too bland.
As for favourite brand, you can't beat Ben & Jerry's.
- Any weird phobias?
Nail files; I cannot stand to be in the same room as someone filing their nails. Even the thought of it makes me shudder; the noise of an emery board against nails is torture.
I'm terrified of wasps, but I think as phobias go that one is quite rational. Coz they can, like, sting you and stuff.....
- Which are more adorable - kittens or puppies?
Both are adorable, but kittens edge it slightly. They're less work; puppies can get very annoying when they'r hyper whereas kittens maintain a constant level of AWWWW.....
- Favourite place(s) you've visited, in Ireland and/or elsewhere?
Favourite place in Ireland is probably Dublin. I just love being in the city. As for countryside, Wicklow is quite a nice county. And parts of Kerry are stunning, scenery wise.
- If you could time-travel to any place and any time in the past or future, where and when would it be, and why?
I'd definitely go to the future, as I don't think returning to the past would be all that fulfilling. I'd be much more interested to live in the future than to live in the past. What year would I go to? I dunno - I'd use a random number generator or something!I once heard that UCC was massive but the lectures are crap, would this be a correct statement?
Well "massive" is a relative term; it's a large university but it wouldn't be massive compared to, say, UCD.
As for the lectures being crap, it totally depends what course you're doing. I've heard conflicting reports of the various departments. But at the end of the day, a degree from UCC is generally just as good as a degree from any other 3rd level institute in Ireland.
Favourite colour?
Green.
Favourite day of the week and why?
I've always liked Thursday; I don't know why, there's just something about it.
Do you enjoy being a mod? If so why?
I do enjoy modding because it's a responsibility, and I'm really grateful for the fact that the admins had enough trust in me to let me do it. Also boards has given me a lot and I like to give something back.
I mostly enjoy it for the power though; there's nothing quite like banning someone who irritates me!Why have I never seen you in real life? Especially despite the fact we were apparently both in the Aula Maxima at the same time last Thursday...
Well I dunno about you but I generally didn't go to lectures for a lot of college this year, for various reasons. As for Thursday, I probably didn't notice you because I was too busy panicking about Complex Analysis (which thankfully turned out to be an ok exam.)
I do think I saw you outside the library one day during the study motnh, eating a sandwich. But I was too embarassed to go over and say hello in case I was wrong.
Btw you (and any other C&Her who goes to UCC) should go to the UCC forum meetups, if there are some next year. They're generally a good laugh.
/shameless plug for other forum :pac:Kerry or Dublin
If I'm in a shopping mood, Dublin. If I'm in touristy sightseeing mood, Kerry.
Kerry people or Dublin people
Kerry, since I don't really know any Dublin people that well. Whereas I know a good few Kerry people, and I'm about 25% Kerry myself! We hate to admit it, but Cork people and Kerry people really aren't that different.
If you were told by the Admins, you could ban any C&H regular for no reason at all. Who would it be?
D4RK ONION. For teh megalulz!

You're welcome!
So, any pets?
A stray cat that came to our house nearly three years ago. We fed him once, and he hasn't left since. We never even named him; we just call him "The Cat" and feed him whenever he whines at us!
We used have pet fish in a pond in our garden. However, they've pretty much formed their own ecosystem since they feed off the insects that are on the water and have been breeding successfully for the past three or four years. So we no longer keep fish as pets, but instead coexist with wild fish in our garden!
Are you a fan of the Harry Potter books?
Yes, but I was very disappointed with the last book. The ending was rubbish.
Favourite cheesy chat-up line?
"Nice shoes. Wanna fcuk?" is always a good one. Another personal favourite is "You put the sexy in dyslexia" I have never used a chatup line in my life though; I have neither the balls nor the stupidity to attempt it.
Heard any good jokes recently?
How many feminists does it take to change a lightbulb?
That's not very funny....
More of an "anti-joke" than a joke, but it made me lol heartily!RandomUserName! wrote: »Favourite Six Feet Under character?
Brenda is a legend!
Going out or staying in?
Depends on the night, but I generally prefer going out.
Best thing about college?
Living away from home, making new friends, experiencing life for yourself more than you ever thought you would. Oh yeah, and education blah blah blah good job blah blah... :pac:

Favourite place to chillax in Cork/UCC.
Beer or spirits?
Whats your standing on the fact that UCC now has nuclear rods possibly a couple of floors down in the building you are in every day?

In relation to this:
How about for our first UCC meet-up in September, we go on a mission to find the secret metal door that minds the nuclear reactor? :pac:0 -

But I guess I'd go with the four people I'd love to meet most; Stephen Fry, Gary Larson, Bjork and Albert Einstein.Tom Carroll or Alexi?
Tom Carroll is possibly the greatest man who ever lived, as this film clearly shows! Alexei is cool too, but I only had him in 1st year.
Favourite bar in Cork?
I really like The Quad.
Old Bar or New Bar?
Old Bar; go there more often. New Bar is nice too though.
Right back at ya!
Any guilty pleasures?
The Eurovison.
And Desperate Housewives.
Drink of choice?
Alcohol wise, Kopperberg Apple & Lime is lovely, but very few pubs actually sell it so I usually settle for Bulmers. If I'm doing shots, tequila is the best. In terms of non-alcohol drinks, Coca Cola is the greatest tasting liquid ever invented. I also drink loads of milk; can't beat a glass of ice-cold milk.
Hats; yeay or neay?
Yay on other people, but they don't suit me at all.Religious beliefs?
Apathetic agnostic; I have no idea if God exists or not, and either way I don't care.
Political beliefs?
Socially, I'm very liberal but I'd be a bit more conservative on economical matters. There's no one political party I support; I kind of alternate between them.degausserxo wrote: »What was the last thing someone gave out to you for?
I actually can't remember! Which is a good thing...
Any plans for the summer?
Nah, not really. I'll probably end up sleeping most of the day and procrastinating on the internet for most of the night.
