    When's the beginners' classes for poker? I joined pokersoc, but I won't be going to any of the shin-digs until I'm able to play, lol.

    Poker is easy to play but difficult to win(just made that up). It's a funny game to play cos those people who are really serious about it get really p***d off if your playing it wrong but still winning. I'd say that beginners luck will get you by, watch all the pros fume as you take their money. Great Craic. You should go.

    I had to join the worst club ever today coz my mate is running it - the orienteering club. I didn't even get anything free for joining, and it cost a hefty €7.00 too!
    I joined archery last year and it was good craic, just in case anyone was wondering about it. It was about the only thing I was ever bothered to turn up to. It will probably suck this year though now that the sports bar is gone...
    I'm considering doin one o' them martial arts type clubs this year, karate or kickboxing or whatever, can anyone recommend me a good one?
    I was a little disappointed with the gamesoc stall; they came off looking like some real hardcore D&D nerdlinger types! Joined for halo tournie though, gonna be great craic!
    Whats this "jazzsoc" supposed to be like then? I don't remember it from last year...

    Hey Ro! :D You should definitely join Brazilian Jiu Jitsu if you're looking for a martial art. None of this stupid bowing and forms and that from Karate, or mind tricks; it's the most functional and useful martial art, in my opinion. Supposedly the people in the club are pretty sound, too. I know Colm is, and I met Paul today and he seems pretty sound too.

    Plus, I'll be there, what more do you need? :D

    And I joined Gamesoc, so I'll see you @ Halo tournie too ;)

    Today I joined French Soc, Retro Soc, Law Soc for the free stuff and Green Soc. Does anyone know if the Animal rights soc is still up and running or is it defunct?

    So far I've joined the ELS (which doesn't really count as I'm Auditor), DramSoc, L&H, NurseSoc and LawSoc - so far. Roll on friday, PhilSoc and NetSoc are definitely on thew cxards, amongst others.

    I'm a sucker for strawberry cornettos, and I promised some of the nurses I'd join if they bought Vagina Monologues tickets last year when we put it on in Astra.

    Anyone going to Alone It Stands in Astra tomorrow night? It's going to be class, saw it four times last year. It's bound to be great.

    I finally joined some societies today. Where was GameSoc? I saw NetSoc but not GameSoc.

    I joined LawSoc and the L&H society. I joined the latter because these two girls launched a charm offensive at me and I just can't say no to a lady. ;)

    I joined PatSoc as well of course. I'm still awaiting my PatPack though.

    Haven't joined any clubs yet. Don't wanna splash out €10 on something I can't commit to. I'm sure I'll do boxing and snooker/pool (if it actually exists - where is the guy at the stand?!).

    There a couple of other clubs I'm contemplating joining as well but tomorrow's the last chance to join so I have to make my mind up.

    No, but 3 people from the Dramasoc gave a little preview at the start of my Comparative Revolutions lecture... Pretty impressive, I must say!

    Bah.... still havent joined any clubs yet. Wanted to join canoeing but stupid me forgot my lack of a talent for swimming might have been a little barrier *slaps himself across the face*. I think I'm just gonna have to randomly join whatever club bribes me best tomorrow.

    I think the Iron Stomoch was on today. I forgot about it....... grr. Anyone go? Anyone get puked on? Anyone have pigs knob thrown on their face?

    Iron stomach wasn't great. Got VERY boring in the middle.
    On a seperate note, I hearily (that is HEARTILY) endorse NetSoc. Everyone should join. EVERYONE.

    Yea I did. Wasn't as good as previous years. MC wasn't that good at getting the crowd behind the contestants. And not much large volue puking. So a lil disappointing.

    Also had some **** dance routine at the start... what was that about???

    Yeah, the dance routines were a bit crap. Not very entertaining. I got a lot more entertainment from the people getting skulled with cornettos!

    I joined fencing today, and overall I've joined a bunch of societies, though the only ones I have a real interest in are mathsoc and philsoc, and probably sci-fi.

    Well I joined Rifle today.... boom boom (D4s beware :p ), signed up for Softball without actually paying any cash promising I'd pay on Tuesday and maybe Ningujutisu :confused: since blondie83 put a machete up to my throat at the stall today threatening to chop me if I didn't give it a try....... very dangerous individual I tell ye :rolleyes:

    I wanted to join Caving/Potholing since the bloke there was so sound and informative but I'm just not one of those adventure type people. Also why the fook was there no one at the Cricket stall? Their loss.

    Is their any kind of 5 a-side soccer thing going out in UCD? I was thinking that there would be huge potential for like a ''mini-superleague'' at night since there are so many sh!te, unfit football enthusiasts out here like moi who wouldn't last 90 mins in the Superleague.
