    Seen as UCD's governing authority didn't do a great job on the building names I thought we could come up with a few instead:

    Student Centre - White Elephant Research Centre
    Restaurant - Sewage Recycling Institute
    Library - Nuclear Command Centre
    Forum Bar - Solitary Confinement Facility
    Boiler House - Toy Power Station
    Belgrove Residences - The Bronx
    O'Reilly Hall - The Dave Fanning Fan Club Headquarters

    Hey, I never see you in the Student Bar so I dunno what you're talkin bout!

    I practically live there. Hence the "Wasters Central" renaming - sorry, "rebranding" - of the Student Bar.

    And where are the D4 heads/Orange people/Ross O'Carroll-Kelly Brigade most prevalent???

    a bit in commerce but mainly arts/orts imo

    avoid:

    main restaurant - crappy food at crappy prices

    library at exam times

    Arts has orange people. Almost exclusively but they're to be found in pockets all over campus.

    Avoid being sent to Michael Tierney he's the cross man you have to go to see when youve been bold. But nobody gets thrown out no matter what!!

    Orange people in science tend to be concentrated around the biological subjects. With very few in maths, physics or CS.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,635 ✭✭✭tribulus


    yeah geology had all the hot birds last year, hopefully the orange people have an aversion to chemical stuff like eh chemistry!!!

    i'm hoping the science block won't have to be renamed to signify a large presence of these :(

    The orange people... Imagine if they started their own soc! That would be ledge

    Yeah i intend to kinda float around the core of things which i assume would be the SU bar until i find out about other stuff.... is it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 337 ✭✭HappyCrackHead


    They already have their own society... its called C&E

    Arts, is really REALLY big, and a lot of the ooompa loompas are concentrated there. call it orange concentrate!

    but lots of arts girls arent orange. there is also an increasing number of orange guys... man tans. its also a misconception that most of the orange people are D4 heads, there simply arent that many people in D4. they're D4 wanna-bies.

    Avoid going to the restaurant or the arts cafe or the bookshop... if you are going to any of these, only go to shoplift.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40 craiglen


    I see...

    Man tans? OH DEAR GOD

    I will punch anyone from tallaght who tries to put on a D4 accent!

    Good advice man. Can't wait to start it'll be great!


  • Registered Users Posts: 337 ✭✭HappyCrackHead


    uh... watch ur mouth buddy

    I'm from tallaght but ive never had a tallaght accent. i dont have a D4 accent but i dont sound like a moped with a broken muffler...

    but lots of people's accents do change. its to do with the crowd u run with.

    That's complete bullsh*t - Why the f**k would ppl change their accents just because of who they hang around with??? :confused:

    I've lived here for 15 years and I have never compromised my original South London accent. Why should I? Why should ppl suddenly become f**king D4 dicks when they turn up at Belfield? It's ridiculous.
    Just, rubbish, utter utter rubbish...

    It depends on the people you're with. When I go home I sound like the highlands
