    Law Abiding Citizen is the most disturbing film I've ever seen. Warped stuff.

    Watch August Underground Mordum some night, it won't disappoint.

    Or Melancholie der Engel, but that's just too far...

    Never mind just ignore me :o It's too late to think straight.

    Just searched for my bebo account there....I got so many bebo hearts <3 (I remember making another account just to send myself them! :pac: )

    Oh the good old days when we worried more about what 'skin' we should use than about the future :rolleyes:

    That's kinda how I understood it.

    But, I read the question and wrote this in the solutions.

    Am I going crazy? :confused:

    You're doing it the wrong way around!

    You're confusing how the devaluation/inflation malarkey works.

    If each year inflation (or whatever term they use), is 6%, then a repayment of €3000 in two years time is equivalent to 3000/(1.06²) of today's money. A repayment of 3000 in four years time is equal to 3000/(1.06⁴) of today's money. And so on.

    Basically each unit of currency is worth less as time progresses :)

    Strange question, but does anybody know the thickness of the paper we get to write on in the exams. I mean is it thick or thin or just in the middle. It's a deciding factor in which pens I'll use. Never thought I'd be asking this question anyway :D

    That's pretty thick compared to some of the ****ty refill pad pages you see floating around.

    Thick enough for me to use a fountain pen. It's really good paper.

    Why did I not study properly throughout the last two years! Can someone reassure me again that they don't know everything they need to for english either? I need constant reassurance these days.

    I think someone should set up a group therapy thread for the amount of people coming in here lately looking for reassurance :pac:

    Make sure you put CIT as no. 1 because Cork's the best place in the universe :)

    I understand your worries! I wanna know how narrow ruled the lines are for accounting purposes, like will I fit my final account onto one page or will I have to use space saving measures?
    Such dilemmas

    Anyone else hoping to go to UCC next year? :)

    Nah it's not too bad. It's just confusing trying to cover it in 3 hours :pac: I still have to cover the complicated half of probablility, pretty much all of statistics, constructions and theorems :o

    Do we get specially ruled pages for accounting? Somebody said we did. Would save a lot of time. Tabular will still be a bitch tho so many boxes. What do you mean, how could you not fit it on one page? :P
