fuppin hell, this is just gettin stupid. grand, people are perfectly entitled to their opinion but when it gets to the stage of constantly posting gripes when people are just trying to inform people of stuff its jsut getting out of hand. i know half the time i couldnt be arsed reading a thread cause i know its just turning into a bitchfest. the last 2 years this board has been dead and for good reason. this year, its really active and being used to inform people of activites, signing up for trips and He who shall not be named forbid even having a laugh on the banter board occasionally (isnt that what banter means???). just when all was good with the board again all this shit starts again. if people have an opinion or a gripe, how about taking that gripe up the person who started the post in the form of a pm. im sure keith and tones as IT guys would be more than happy to answer peoples questions in private instead of openly where its only gonna turn people off the board again. hell, if that isnt giving ye satisfaction, how about approaching the committee and ask for 5 minutes in front of them at a meeting to duke it out. anyways, thats just my 2 cents...ye aint goin to change it so i dont really want a response to my post thanks. peace out. john

lads, fuckin go have a pint or summit will yee like life aint that bad! as some random dude once said there are always those dipsetic bores that shrug and issue forth such fatalistic banalities as "history is cruel", "mankind is inhuman", or "rape is like the weather". We should remember that history is filled with great romances, that to be human is to love, and that most days the weather is really quite nice and ought not be so brutally anthropomorphized. so smile:)

Right on. You've the right idea. Just see the funny side on bitchers and whiners, it's like an old person. You don't really listen to them, but hear the things they say, laugh and say ''ah sure He who shall not be named bless'em, they've nothing else left''.

We'll agree to disagree then It is hard to have a reasoned discussion on this when 1)the original source of the problem has disappeared 2) so many people on here don't see any value in discussing anything of importance... there is a narrow line between discussing something calmly and arguing, some, it seems, are able to differentiate between the two.
The OPC is a fantastic club which gives people the opportunity to do fantastic things but it is not perfect. It can always be improved and to completely ignore suggestions from experienced (ex)members is to be ignorant of the contribution they can make.

Here we have a prime example of the negativity of the message board.
Conor is one our newest and active members of the OPC. He has dedicated allot of time to the club and shown great interest. He was also part of the sub committee for organising the the trip in January. I have no doubt he will be a valuable asset to the club for the next 4 yrs he is in UL. I would like to thank you Conor for all your help so far.
With all the messages going to and from complaining and bitching we have new people looking at the post and thinking that the club is a mess.
THIS IS NOT FAIR AND DOES NOT GIVE THE CLUB THE THE TRUE AND FAIR IMAGE IT DESERVES!!!!!!!!!!
Remember we have been voted the best club for the last 3 years in a row and we want to win it for a 4th yr in a row.
Myself and the other committee members have work extremely hard for the club over the last semester and sacrificed allot some people do not know how much work we put in buts its allot.
It breaks my heart to see all this bitching that is giving the club an unfair name that it TRULY does not deserve after all the effort we have put in. I have not been in club since the start and have heard about all these people who I have never meet who I have made the club what it is today.
I want to keep the club alive and active for all the people who have gone before me. Every trip this semester has been great and I have never received one complaint. Also the social nights have been great and people keep asking me when the next night out is.
I have apologized for the deleting the Thread it was a genuine error. Once again I apologize sincerely to the club and hope we can end this and move on Please.
I can take criticism no problem and will gladly take advise what ever is given. But I will not take criticism posted on a public message board it looks very unprofessional for the club. Any problems with the trips please email me paul@ulopc.com.
The trip to Killarey was a complete success and everybody thanked me which was very rewarding.
Sorry for such a long message but it had to be said. Please lets end this and ensure the club will win best club for the 4th year in a row.
Thats all I have to say. I do not mean to cause offence to any1. Please do not take it up in the wrong way.
Regards
Paul
