Is Maynooth the only college that does that? I know DCU wait til Oct and I think other colleges do too

DCU has a bigger venue.
Some degree courses are always in the later graduation regardless.
All of Science and Engineering just about in the Aula.

Ah... Venue size never occurred to me!

I know certain postgraduate courses are always in the later graduation dates - especially those with submission dates in the summer.

I know lots of the history courses don't graduate until 12 months after they finish their courses - a bunch of my friends started their masters with me, and even though I graduated on Halloween, they won't graduate until next September.
Graduations are grouped by faculty, generally - arts takes several ceremonies, science and engineering graduate together, social science graduate together, that kind of thing.

You just need to turn at a steady rate to stay at a constand temperature.

Father Fitzpatrick: And this is the last known photo of Herr Hitler; he's signing a few death warrants there.
Ted: Funny how you get more right-wing as you get older.

Whenever I think of Fr. Fitzpatrick in Father Ted, I think of Fr. Fehily from the Ross O'Carroll-Kelly series of books too. :pac:

You know what I love about Ross? He acts like a complete unashamed ar*sehole most of the time and then there's always one super tender moment in the books and all is forgiven #toteslamebutidontcare

Y'all watch yaselves for I have bought a car. I've been driving for seven years but in someone else's car and always wondered what would happen if I went from fifth gear into reverse.

Anyone know?

How so Joe

The car makes a wicked crunching sound and... I don't know. It crunches if you try go into too low a gear, I assume it would do something similar if you tried to go into reverse?

Thwip!

You'd stall the engine.

Some gearboxes won't let you change into reverse if your moving with any sort of speed.
In which case, I'm not sure what happens...
a stall I guess.

Also crunching sounds aren't good.

Oh, I know. It was when I was learning to drive, I used to go into first when I was trying to go into third.
Luckily, I no longer do that.

Oh I still do that occasionally , worryingly I just recently passed my test which adds to my suspicion that the tester was just feeling tremendously nice that day

Quick questions:
Can you run for a committee position if you can't attend the AGM. If so, how?
Also, if there's a chance you could be repeating can you still run or would that even affect you?

How so Joe

I think you can ask someone who will be at the meeting to nominate you in absentia. As long as your nomination is seconded, you should be golden to continue.
Different clubs and socs might have different policies though. It's worth asking whoever is running the agm.

As to repeating, you're entitled to run for and hold a committee position regardless of whether you're a first time or a repeat student, and equally an internal or an external student. No worries there.

Kiwi_knock

You can send a speech for someone to read out on your behalf at a Clubs and Socs AGM. As long as you indicate what position or positions you are running for you should be grand.

Does anybody know where I could get rooftop access in Maynooth?

I know a guy that somehow got up on to the roof of the John Hume building but I know it involved climbing, risk to life and a questionable mental state. He also demonstrated his cornering skills p on a severe bend with me in the car in very icy conditions and subsequently crashed it. Mental but very sound lad.

So, to answe your question, no.

How so Joe

I have a friend who climbed on top of the arts block. And there are constantly builders up there, so there must be a relatively easy way to get up. Other than that, ask an astro student - I think they have a telescope on the roof of the science building.

JayEnnis

I don't mean the actual college but anywhere around the town. It's for a photoshoot.

The balcony off the postgrad tea room in JH could work nicely, unless it's for a panoramic shot. For a panoramic you're talking about roof of arts block, the entrance to which I'm sworn to secrecy on!

Iontas also a possibility, but it's swipe card access.
