    Thanks to everyone who gave me advice for my son - he got his results today and will be joining you all in the summer (God love yez!)

    I've been following your thread on the 2005 courses and it looks like he'll have a great time. Wish I could be going to.

  • Registered Users Posts: 588 ✭✭✭JenLorigan


    All Nevermores can live in my room. I reckon I can fit about twenty... Come one come all!


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!

  • Registered Users Posts: 748 ✭✭✭Zounds

    It's not that bad... Believe it or not my room at home is ridiculously tidy. Not my doing of course but still...


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭Matthewthebig


    Can i steal that childs body for the three weeks or at least male the RAs think I'm him.

    Btw do you think the lady knows that nerd camp is a hormone fuelled love fest


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    Quiet Matthew! If she hears that she won't send him and I want to corrupt him! :p In retrospect that sounds a bit... odd, but anyone who knows me will get my meaning. Anyone who doesn't... well, there aren't as many of them at this stage. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭Matthewthebig


    Lovely!

    I really hope she hasn't read... any of the other threads at all or she'll be having second thoughts. And probably third and fourth.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,851 ✭✭✭PurpleFistMixer


    The latter thoughts probably dedicated to alerting the authorities and trying to get our establishment closed down forever.


  • Registered Users Posts: 748 ✭✭✭Zounds


    wait, Matt, you're not coming back???


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭Matthewthebig


    But if people who want to learn Irish can do it why not nerds?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭Matthewthebig


    I'll be 17 in 2 months so no :(

    I've read quite a few of your threads - and while I know my son will be a different person when he comes home, I reckon the 'exposure' to you lot will be very good for him! There's not a lot for him to do down here as we live 6 miles from a town and all his school friends live miles outside in the other direction.

    Because he's been in the junior CTYI, when I discovered the boards last year this forum grabbed my attention big-time as I knew he'd be getting involved at some stage. As long as he comes home having made lots of friends, and without a drug-habit or a paternity suit hanging over him, I'll be happy. You lot are all so lucky to have the opportunity to stretch yourselves - basically, I'm jealous!

    I plan to be up in Dublin some of the time anyway, and might drop in to check you aren't corrupting him too much. My dad lives 10 mins drive from DCU, and a trip to the Helix might be nice in June. :D

    Anyone here do the Marine Biology course before?

    Don't get your hopes up on the second one! :p

    no offence, but this is a bad idea, lowers his "street cred" amongst the fellow nerds.

    Leave him be, you can always ring him, total immersion in campus life is one of the things that makes CTYI great.

    I guess so. Forget sometimes what it's like being 14. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    Besides, you can see how well we've corrupted him at the end of it all! :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 389 ✭✭Ba_barbaraAnne

    You're beginning to make me a little bit nervous...think I'll get him to read your threads and prepare him better for the temptations of campus life!


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    It's what I do best. :D Don't worry though. I'm perfectly harmless in reality. Anything you read has to be filtered before you even get near the truth. It's not as... corruptive... as it sounds.

    Just make sure he's not short. They have a tendency of getting thrown around!
