    Come. Cork are House Lannister thinking their the the real republic, Dublin is kings landing.

    Ireland is the easiest place ever to make into Westeros.

    That's really good in theory but geographically it makes no sense lad :pac:

    I considered putting down medicine for the lols to teach people that it dosent matter about the points its what you want regardless of points.

    Would you have sat the hpat, and do you want to be a doc?

    What ever about not starting BOD, can someone please explain to me how tuilagi on the bench instead of him?! Tuilagi is far from being lions material


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,780 ✭✭✭jamo2oo9


    We really need a university up here. I feel insulted that Connught is serviced by NUIG, Munster by UCC and Leinster by any number of them but for me to stay in Ulster I would need to got to University of Ulster in the North.

    There is a University of Ulster in Ulster....

    Thats the lols part. I wouldnt have sat the HPAT and it would have shown that its not all about How attainable the top of the list is. You dont have to be a realist when it comes to the CAO.

    Literally mentioned in that post. That a British college. Thats UCAS. I'd end up in Colraine or Belfast paying British fees.
    There is no Irish college. The closest is Letterkenny IT then you go lower to Cavan Institute and Monaghan IT.

    Actually I'd put Tuilagi ahead of Davies


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,446 ✭✭✭Corvo Attano


    Tuilagi isnt behind Lions material. He's a bloody monster. I'd say that he's used to demolish houses in Samoa.

    It's all down to population guys. There's like 300,000 people in Southern Ulster as opposed to 2,500,000 in Leinster.

    It kinda works out at about 1 university per 600,000 people..There's 4 in Leinster with 2.5m people. 2 in Munster with 1.2m people and 1 in Connacht with 550,000 people.

    But that's just statistics and it's not how people go to colleges haha. You'll have people from the midlands in Leinster going to Galway and people from all over coming to Dublin etc.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,446 ✭✭✭Corvo Attano


    But the idea of NUI is to have a national college to service all areas of the country. And you would get students from the North too just as they get them from the Republic.

    I dont know if youve ever tried to get a bus from Cavan or Ulster in general to Galway but its not fun.

    Suppose I exaggerated abit there haha but he's not a patch on BOD, IMO Davies is the problem in the centres, from what I've seen of the matches


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,446 ✭✭✭Corvo Attano


    BOD is a legend of the game. Comparisons are generally a bad idea.

    Chuck Davies out, give BOD his jersey back and leave Tuilagi on the bench. Now that's a good centre.

    Lads have any of ye ever had difficulty applying for an agecard? After 2 pages it keeps coming up error for me and at no point has it asked me for the voucher number or anything..
    Its REALLYYYYY bugging me! I just wanted to get it sent away and dealt with


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,509 ✭✭✭✭randylonghorn

    Trouble is, we have far too many colleges already for our population density.

    Any specific errors? Codes? At what particular stage or is it random?

    Well when I did it on the mini it actually said it was due to maintenance but it hadnt when using the computer.
    Ermm its always after the 2nd page the one where you review your details and type in the security code, then when you click to proceed to the next page you cant..
    Should I at this stage have been able to input my voucher number? Coz I havnt been able to do that in any of my tries


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,446 ✭✭✭Corvo Attano


    Give it a whack on Internet Explorer. That website dosent seem the most modern lets say.

    No avail bruv, got the site maintenance notice this time though, if it doesnt work by tomorrow though theres going to be so whinging done
    "An Error Occurred

    This section of the site is currently down for maintainence. Please try again later."

    They didnt even spell maintenance right did they??

    Yup

    The population is growing but it'll be decades before we need more third level institutions. The likes of DCU is brand new in terms of university years. TCD started in the 16th century :eek:

    All the ITs are new too, 1970-95.

    DIT will probably relocate to Grangegorman, offer PhDs and fill whatever criteria to become a university before anything pops up elsewhere in the country.

    Ok this is properly another stupid cao question (sorry Randy :P) but when first round offers are given out and lets say you get your third choice but your hoping to get your first choice in the second round do you accept the third choice or not? :confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,446 ✭✭✭Corvo Attano


    Well I'll hazard a guess that its down for maintainance. Couldnt handle your awesomeness.

    And I think they did.

    Yeah I live in North Dublin and it's actually easier to get to Maynooth than UCD :pac:

    UCD is a nightmare to get to! I was out there for an Irish lecture one day and had to get a bus at 7:30 for a 9:00 lecture.

    Everything would just be so fantastic if it did as I pleased <.<
