Do you think there's a special place in Hell for people who make Mavidius jokes?
Yes, it's called the UCD Engineering building. I've seen you there.

Why, C&H of course!
Who the hell are you?
I'm MavisDavis, I've been on the Playpen list longer than you've been posting, young 'un, so be nice!
would you support a European superstate?
No, seems like a bad idea to me.
what is your educated opinion on Michelle Bachman?
I don't know enough about her to have much of an opinion, but I don't want her to be President of the Yanks.
Will the US default?
The US will do whatever it damn well likes. As ever.
PS3 or XBox 360?
PS3, but only for PS1 games, really.
1,2 or 3?
2.
Where is the love?
It's lurking around here somewhere. It's like Davidius, you can't always see it, but it never goes away!

I'm not really a huge fan of chippers.
Tesco, Dunnes or Super?
Dunnes.cheesefiend wrote: »How's Canada?

Only if you are.In the navy, would you fear pirates or sharks more?
Pirate sharks.
What's your favourite cereal? Nobody cares if you don't like cereal. Nobody likes cereal, it's just the lazy person's breakfast.
I only recently overcame my fear of cereal, so I'll say Cornflakes.
Can you deal with boredom well?
As well as the next person, I suppose.
How d'you make your tea?
Quite strong, just milk. Sugar does not belong in tea.
Coca Cola or Pepsi?
Coca Cola.
Favourite branch of Law?
So far, it's Criminal. I haven't really done much of it yet, though. That's for next year..
What's the plan when you graduate? You gonna be like, in courthouses and stuff?
I genuinely don't know. I've years to figure that out.
Favourite historical case (in law)?
Donoghue v Stevenson. The awkward moment when you find a snail in your ginger beer.
Tyranny or anarchy?
Tyranny.

The people - they're an interesting bunch!
What do you miss about Ireland (generic tea bags answer is not accepted!)
My mammy, my dog and The Sunday Times.
Where in the world would you love to go?
I'd love to go on a road-trip through the southern states of America. In a sports car..
Any scars?
A few. I've one on my knee from general childhood running about and one on my chin from falling out of bed a few years back.
Any strange injuries?
My knee gets a bit click-y from time to time - diagnosis, doc?:P
Most embarrassing thing to ever happen to you?
There are a few I can think of that'd have a tough fight to win that title, but I'll go with the generic calling a teacher "mam". :P
Any strange piercings?
Nope, just my ears.
Craziest thing you've ever done?
Going to Canada for three months alone.shadowninty wrote: »You are joining the Navy?
Haha, I'm not. That's an old joke between myself, Cheesefiend and Almostnever.
Why?
Why wouldn't you want to join The Navy?
Are you joining the Irish navy or royal navy?
The DLS Navy. :P
If the former doesn't that sound like an awful idea?
Did you support the Iraq war?
No, and I still don't.
Would you support military strikes to protect the environment?
No, that seems like it would be rather counter-productive.
Do you support NATOs intervention in Afghanistan?
No, but something has to be done to end that "war".Pigwidgeon wrote: »What's the strangest thing Canadians do?
These ones have an unusual speech pattern and enjoy a local deliacy called "poutine" - which consists of chips, gravy and cheese curds. Ew.
Would you recommend that if possible someone should get away for the summer?
Yes. It's nice to be away from Ireland (and to be able to get a job and some work experience!). I'm not sure I'd recommend going somewhere alone, though. I wouldn't mind travelling alone, just not spending 3 months in one place with not very many friends!
What do you miss most about Ireland?
You didn't make any stipulations like QoL, so I can finally say Barry's tea bags!
Are you looking forward to getting back to college?
Definitely. I miss it so much!
What's your favourite thing about your course/UCD?
My course is really interesting if I actually get into it, plus my classmates are lovely. I love the campus media in UCD - I've met some absolute legends through it.
What country do you want to visit the most?
I'd really like to go to Cuba right now. I'll probably change my mind by tomorrow, though.jefreywithonef wrote: »Is the The Mavis Davis Safe Sex Video available on DVD yet?
No, but I'm hoping it'll be out on Bluray in time for the Christmas rush.

I do Law with Politics in UCD.

I don't really have a tv at college, but Channel Four or RTE 1 when I'm home.
Last piece of clothing you washed ?
My work clothes.
Gaeilge, yay or nay ?
Yay, gan amhras ar bith!What's your favourite kind of hat?
I'm going to have to say the trilby. I wish people still wore hats everyday, they're so dapper.QueenOfLeon wrote: »Ha, you must be near where my friend comes from then. When she was first talking about that we thought she had somehow heard of poteen :pac:
So where exactly in Canada are you?
St. John's in Newfoundland.
I'm currently watching Supernanny, do you want children and if/when they turn into little brats how would you discipline them?
It's not something I've given much consideration to, but I think so, yes. As for discipline, nothing bates the wooden spoon!
Favourite hair colour?
Ginger, obviously. Probably brown, really, though.
Favourite eye colour?
I'll say green because mine are green.:P
Who should be a boardsie couple?
Mavidius. Actually, Pygmalion and Davidius.

Yaaah.
How did you find boards?
I wandered into the politics forum and branched out from there.

I know Cheesefiend, Almostnever and Conorstuff very well. I go to college with a few others (like darling Davidius!) and I've met a few others too.
I've never met you, though. Why have I never met you?!

ihavequestions wrote: »Up, down, strange, charm , bottom or top?
I hate physics. I'll go with charm, it made me think of Harry Potter which made double physics less boring.
Rainbow or pot of gold?
Rainbow. Pots of gold have a tendency to disappear. Pesky leprechauns.
Hotmail or gmail?
I've only just started using gmail, so I'll say Hotmail. I know gmail is better, but I'm used to Hotmail!
Favourite boards thread ever?
The Den - the flirting that used to go on in that place!
flyswatter wrote: »Key differences between Dundawk and Canada?
About 2,000 miles and a serious attitude shift.
Found anything to "blame Canada" for yet?
The fog horns that keep me awake at night (my house is near the harbour).
If you had the power to bring in one law, what would it be?
I'd make it possible to get a presidential nomination with a citizens' petition of maybe 10,000 signatures.Which module was worse: Constitutional Frameworks or Management of Ethnic conflict?
Management of Ethnic Conflict. Terrible lectures, hideous textbook, horrible exam. Lucky new first years don't have it!
What is your political ideology?
Somewhere in the middle. I'll let you know when I work it out.
Are you involved in Clubs or Socs in UCD?
I signed up for loads, I need to actually get involved with more!
Favourite thing about UCD?
The craic. It's mighty. I can't pick just one thing, I've romanticised the place over the summer and it's all so amazing now.
Least favourite thing about UCD?
The library. The JJ is a hell hole during exams.
One event, 5 acts, unlimited budget, who?
Tough one! I'm assuming that they have to be alive, but not necessarily together (I'll use the money to bribe them)..
Snow Patrol, Fleetwood Mac, U2, Oasis and Arctic Monkeys. I think.Biggest problem with the Irish legal system today, in your opinion?
Sentencing laws. People don't get charged with murder enough and they don't get put in jail for long enough. Children's rights are a big one too, though.
Favourite childhood cartoon?
I progressed from Postman Pat to Rugrats to Recess.
Sun, sea and sand or skiing holiday?
I've only been skiing once, so I'll choose that!
Do you think you'll live in Ireland when you're all grown up?
I think I just might. I'll live somewhere else first, though.
Biggest differences between the average Irish and Canadian person of your age?
I'm not sure. Newfoundland is quite different to mainland Canada. It's only been Canadian since the late 1940s. I'd say ice hockey, though - it's HUGE here!cheesefiend wrote: »What's your favourite type of cuisine?
I like a bit of everything. Italian is always nice, though.
Will you come out with me when you come home so we can verbally abuse people again?
Hell yes! Do you realise we only went out together once all year at college? This must be improved!
Do you still bake?
I do. Only, I can't here because I've nothing to bake with. I miss it.

KnifeWRENCH wrote: »Since you're in Canada do you now eat maple syrup with everything? And if not, whyever not?
Surprisingly, I've only had it once since I've been here. I've no excuse - there's a bottle downstairs!
Where does that one day we met rank in your list of most awesomest memories ever? :pac:
It's definitely up there.
"I'm glad you didn't kill me in an alley with a knife..."
"..or a WRENCH!"
Would you consider abandoning law to become a beekeeper if you got the bees for free?
No. I don't like honey that much.
What's your assessment of Enda Kenny's performance as Taoiseach so far?
I think it's going surprisingly well. I was never his biggest fan, but he seems to have pulled himself together of late!
After a strange and, quite frankly, inexplicable turn of events, you (and you alone) have the option to save either 10 sickeningly cute children or 100 Fianna Fáil members from certain death. Whichever group you don't save is immediately devoured by an unnamed but deadly sea monster. Do you choose to save 10 innocent lives or 100 somewhat-less innocent lives?
Oh no! That's horrible! I'm going to have to pick the children, they're so young... Can I sacrifice myself to the sea monster?
If you were a mutant, would you support Professor X's "we must work with humans" philosophy or Magneto's "we must conquer humans" philosophy?
I'd keep my power secret from the humans and use to to occasionally freak them out.jefreywithonef wrote: »Most controversial opinion?
I don't believe a United Ireland will or should happen any time soon.
What's the most overrated thing in society?
Celebrity culture of the obsessive order.
Have you ever had any interesting or weird bus experiences?
Yes. I was once on the bus with two charming old men, who casually drank cans of beer and smoked joints on the number 4. The men who threatened some lads from London because they didn't want to sit beside them was unusual too.
What's your favourite word?
I'm not sure. Eloquence, dalliance, illustrious, elementary and clandestine are nice.
Do you like Peep Show (I notice the theme song embedded above)?
I've never seen it. I just like that song.
Favourite comedy / film / album / poem / television drama?
I hate picking favourites! They always change!
As of right now: He's Just Not That Into You / The Shawshank Redemption / Hospice by The Antlers / We Never Know How High We Are by Emily Dickinson / Game of Thrones.
Name a band that you think is underrated.
The Antlers.
Who's your favourite dictator? And favourite moustachioed historical figure?
I'll go with Mussolini. Feckin' up and getting it away with 1922 - 1943. Einstein's 'tache was pretty sweet.
Is there any social custom that you find annoying / unnecessary / stupid?
Taking a million pictures of every night out you ever go on and uploading them to Facebook, where everyone is then painstakingly tagged.
On a non-social media note: having to pretend to old people that I believe in a higher power to avoid evil looks.Pepsi or Coca Cola?
Coca Cola. I don't like Pepsi at all.
Sprite or 7up?
Sprite.
Shuffle your ipod/ mp3 player and name out the 2nd, 4th and 5th song to come up.
Ship Caught In The Bay - The Frames.
Sympathy For The Devil - The Rolling Stones.
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana.
Do you like turtles?
I do. Especially awkward ones.

Is there ever a time when you shouldn't be wearing a hat?
One should never wear a hat while indoors. It's the height of rudeness.
What's your opinion of Fez hats?
I wouldn't wear one personally, but I like their exotic look.soccymonster wrote: »Justin bieber and selena, yay or nay?
Doesn't really bother me either way. The age difference is a bit weird.
Pineapple on a pizza, yay or nay?
Yay. I haven't had it in a while, thanks for the reminder!
Have any celebrity obsession? :P
Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol. Sometimes I'll go on Perez Hilton and have a mega-binge of celebrity gossip, most of the time I don't really care, though.
Any more takers?0 -
