    Not that I'm complaining or anything, but why do some girls still insist on wearing only tights when its snowing :confused:

    That sounds like complaining to me. Library wetsers out in force these days despite the weather. I love UCD!

    I know, went into college today wearing jeans, boots, 2 tops a jumper and a coat. Pass by a girl in Uggs, shorts and seethrough thin tights. I felt like slapping her.

    Ah now, don't be discouraging them. I may not understand their reasoning, but I don't fault it :)

    They're a dedicated breed of young woman it has to be said. They have they're convictions and they stick to it, godammit.

    It's heartening to see that the sub zero temperatures haven't frozen their wetness.

    Its an odd one all the same.

    When you wear jeans in snow/slush the water will drench the bottom. Nothing worse than wet jeans. Therefore us ladies where skirts so the water can't soak up through trousers.

    Also tights dry really quickly!

    Simples. :D

    Hmmmm, so college was canceled today due to health and safety hazards. Hmmmm if this gets any worse then the exams will be postponed (I'm guessing).

    It's the ones who forgo the skirt about whom I am talking, just a coat and tights. Borderline see-through tights at that.

    What a lovely, odd, world we live in.

    They don't start for a week and a half... things might have cleared up a little by then.

    I hope they do go ahead, and would be very very surprised if they don't. I would hate to have to do them after christmas during what would be our holidays. That would be a nightmare.

    Surely you'd need to write out reports and the like.

    They cannot logistically postpone the exams. Trinity use the RDS after Christmas for exams. Theoretically yes if there was a massive snowfall around Dublin they would have to postpone but I doubt it would happen. They would lose a load of money doing it.

    Well this is from last year:

    It could be possible if things remain like this.

    Yeah, I don't know what they are going to do about the exams if the weather is like this. I mean, getting in for 9am will be hard enough, but imagine coming out of an exam at 8pm and finding out that all the buses have been cancelled for the night. While postponing the exams would be a logistical nightmare, realistically I don't see how they could go ahead with them under such circumstances either.

    I made the mistake of going to my locker via the library exit on Wednesday.

    The last thing you want to hear walking is 'Ah lads,leave her alone' because you know someone won't.:mad:

    Stared them out of it after I got hit but decided not to do anything else.Wouldn't have made a difference anyway.:(

    I was asked to "thank" the ones with the snowballs for not hitting me, as Iwas holding a cup of hot soup. Turned my back, and got pelted in the shoulder regardless. They threw a snowball into my bag too. Thank god I didn't bring my laptop. Also witnessed outside Glenomena, them hitting a girl who then slipped on the ice. She managed to get back up and they hit her really hard in the back again.

    I would be the first one to throw a snow ball at one of my friends, 100% can say that with conviction. But absolute strangers is just a bit stupid.

    The long range forecast says that it'll be getting warmer over the next week, so the exams will probably be OK at the start. Forecasts get less reliable the further ahead you look, of course, so you can take that with a pinch of snow.

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    Couldn't you have renewed them online? Or were they short loans?

    They should use you in the advertising for Superfines next May :pac:

    There is always a few people who don't know you can renew the books online so I thought you might have been one.
