    I think the medical office in the Student Services Centre behind John Hume, take medical cards but then their service is free to all students.

    Mal uses the word craic as a pun, no vote for you.

    And so begins my list of why I'm not voting for people based solely on non-relevant stuff.

    What are the actual odds of a commuter room btw?
    I know the whole kettle and microwave thing can't happen anyway.

    I'm not trying to be smart but isn't that the point of the common room?

    I thought that too, about 3 people have started on about this. Common room suits me fine anyway and I don't see where this "commuter room" is going to go or why it's for commuters and what it's actually going to provide for them...

    Besides, when I need to use a kettle or a microwave, I just use the facilities of the mature students room, I've been doing that since long before I was 'mature'.

    Gotten more than a few FB messages over the last few weeks about what is and what is not possible, manifesto-wise. Here's what I told those guys.

    A room with kettles and microwaves for commuters is entirely feasible. There are a number of ways to do it (my solution was totally over ambitious* and got shot down, probably rightfully so) but if you wanted to convert that staff tea room in Arts Block (for example) you could do it.

    But you'd have to make it a priority and it would have to happen instead of some other manifesto item you'd want to complete.

    *waaaaaay too ambitious.

    Also, a guy with a silk scarf wrapped around his forehead came into my CS142 lecture and decided to deliver a tribute to his 2 "teethbreeshes". :pac:

    It took me a while to accept that that actually had happened.

    I know this is going to be controversial,
    but we need to reintroduce entrance exams or interviews for higher level education.
    There are many things going for and against the leaving cert, its far from perfect, but at no point does the question come up,

    "Do you know how to use a toilet?"
    or
    "are you the sort of person who destroys public toilets for fun?"

    Men's toilets in this place are a disgrace.

    I agree with all of that post.
    I feel sorry for the cleaning staff that have to go in and clean them. There's piss all over the floor half the time and it seems like people are actually trying to block the toilets with the amount of tissue overflowing from some of them.
    Also graffiti is terrible, were all adults surely we can go to the toilet without writing something we saw on the internet earlier that day on the wall/door, I don't know how these people aren't drowning in their own drool with how stupid they are.

    The toilets in logic are and the arts block are the worst. The graffiti in Logic is actually quite interesting and funny to read though, its like at one point someone used it as a sort of ad hoc counselling service.

    The lads toilets in the Arts block are generally the cleanest on Campus i've noticed. It's the ones on the 1st floor outside the upstairs entrance to JH1 which are disgusting.

    Really? I only use the toilets in Arts on a Friday morning after Psychology (only there once a week), so maybe they're just cleaned at that stage or something!

    Yeah, I'd say that's probably it. They're often pretty disgusting.

    ...

    'pretty' and 'disgusting' are strange words to see beside each other...

    JH jacks for men is by far the worst IMO. Anyone see the toilet in the last cubicle, and how it was for ages? I pity whoever had to clean it

    I'm actually talking about another time, I haven't seen it recently. In which case I'm hoping it's a different thing, or if it's the same that it's actually a prank and not what it looks like. Otherwise I weep for the future of our country

    This is a very cheerful conversation before bed, isn't it? :pac:
