    And yet it's still next-to-impossible to find an academic calendar on that site. :(

    Yeah I think I prefer the old site. I don't like the way there's more clicking to find the email and moodle links even if it's just one extra click :pac:

    What does everyone think of the new NUIM website? Trying to decide if I like it or not.
    I think it's a pile of ****e.
    And all the department sites I've gone to, I think the new staff photos are all woeful too, compared to the old ones.

    Same blue and pink ones. They had a shedload of literature to give out though. One of the books was called "pure love" or something, from the author of previous titles such as "find your soulmate without losing your soul". I **** you not.

    But can I get a better one if I sell my soul?
    And if so... who would I call about that?
    Cause I have a spare that I'm not using...

    I was stirring my coffee beside a chastity table or something today at about 5. I heard this earnest young man deep in conversation with a lady. He was telling her about how evolution has no scientific basis whatsoever. Methinks he has no idea what the Vatican's position is on anything.

    Assuming he's Catholic...

    I had the bants with the ones at the chastity table and the pro-life soc, who were beside them. The chastity people don't believe in using contraception! I didn't know people like that actually existed any more. They were saying they're thinking of setting up a society for it? One thing that really annoys me about those leaflets is the absolute lack of control that they believe people have over their sexual urges, especially men.

    Good craic with the pro-lifers. Did you know a embryo has a heartbeat at 6 days after conception apparently :rolleyes: Like I've no issue with people believing whatever, but use actual scientific facts to back up your arguments. I have to say though, that they all took my debating in good spirits and didn't get angry and call names, which tends to happen in these cases. I wasn't even called a pro-abort!!

    They seemed nice actually, which worries me. People pushing these views are generally troglodytes. I agree about control thing, suggesting that a woman must dress modestly as to not tempt men is ridiculous in the extreme.

    can I confirm that I am not encouraging people to complain about this issue in particular. Ive seen posts saying what are the su going to do about this and I am simply saying we cant do anything unless we receive complaints to act on and giving the option to contact us, just like any other issue that arises.

    Assuming you're a comp science student go around to the white doors and swipe your card to let yourself in. I think security are responsible for opening hours so ask them if you can't get in.

    If they are locked, you can ask security to open them for you.

    Quick question, do tutorials change next semester? As do, do we get to pick times again?

    Depends on the subject. What are you studying?

    Feck the library and this stupid essay. Have another 500 words or so to do before I need to hand it in at 5pm, which I suppose isn't so bad. I'm just wrecked though.

    A large percentage of this essay is pure bullshít. MY HEAD IS SORE. Also the blue chairs in the old part of the library are comfortable to lie on.

    Sweet zombie Jesus the SU was insane today, think I spilled about 10 peoples drinks just moving around. Will go into the village or just bring my own drink next year. Won't have any hyper aggressive security to deal with either that way.

    This is why it helps that Omega, MINDS and a few other societies are having a party tomorrow to deter you from drinking tonight. :pac:

    Commuting on Christmas Day never fails to provide some sort of drama. I thought getting an earlier bus home would eliminate the drunks, but no :rolleyes: It was nowhere near as bad as last year though!
