Hows it going? (4 Viewers)

oh poop, we'll just have to carpool and make out in the carpark at 8.20

I'm keen.

 

[em_516]

i bet you are

 

[luscious-llama]

Communications, I'm guessing.



Agreed. Except our parking situation has to be one of the worst. If I was always guaranteed a legal park SOMEWHERE on uni grounds, I'd be content.

I agree, wtf is with the lack of parking?!
Oh yeah I found a stack of legal parks if you have classes over Hunter side, they're like near the student accomodation, so a bit of a walk past all these squash courts and through the bush and stuff but at least they're legal (make sure you read the signs)

Sucks when you're over Shortland side though

you only just found these?? Closest parks to the Griff Duncan Theatre...

Still, they get pretty packed by 8.40am

You have to applaud the creativity of some people with their inventing parking spots.

I parked in c15 last Monday, (turned up at 11) it's closer to the HGDT than you'd think.

 

[PrincessSJ]

explain the creativity of parking spots please?

 

[Captain Gh3y]

Well the rule seems to be that if you're in a carpark area and there's somewhere a car will fit, someone will park there. It's not 'legal' though

 

[darkliight]

I've had to 'invent' a few parking sometimes, only when I'm late and won't be there for long though. Can you get fined for not being in an 'official' spot though? I saw one of the parking guys fining someone the other day that wasn't in a legal spot, but I didn't know if it was because of that or because they didnt have a ticket.

I also want to know why the hell the uni is spending money on doing up the roof garden in the library instead of building a new carpark. Seriously, parking > more mozzie breeding grounds.

 

[jumb]

Can you get fined for not being in an 'official' spot though?

Yeah, I have a friend who took advantage of having a 4wd in the back engineering car park and got a fine.

Although, on that note, another friend of mine told me today that he hasn't bought a parking permit yet, and he's there 5 days a week.

 

[The_highwayman]

a multistorey park in either engineering or aviation would be very much appreciated.

 

[PrincessSJ]

I vote we change the uni's logo from that horse thing to a mozzie.....

They were vicious today... I think they were waiting in the trees for me to get out of my car.... I'm going to start walking around with the insect repellent in my hand I think!!

 

[jumb]

The best one I saw was the toilets for the science lecture theatre. I was scared they would sting some sensitive parts

But yeah, they were everywhere in there.

i agree. they are at their worst at the top of the hill near the great hall.

whenever i am in mcth i am constantly belting my arms and legs to stop them biting. And they're mutants. enormous and resistant to forceful smacks.

 

[jumb]

The worst lecture one was in the ef room, because the air conditioning is fucked so they have to leave the doors open. That was way gay.

 

[The_highwayman]

parking was rather good today.


i guess nobody comes to uni on thursdays.

 

[jumb]

Agreed. Quite a nice drive in compared to yesterday, too.

 

[em_516]

are you kidding me?!! what time did you guys get in today?

 

[jumb]

are you kidding me?!! what time did you guys get in today?

it took me like, 40mins instead of 60 to get in today. There was only one or two major traffic bits, but the jesmond roundabout-> uni entry was the clearest I've ever seen it at that hour.

 

[em_516]

oh right, so it still wasn't fantastic..i didn't go today, but i go for 1pm and it's an absolute BITCH every time! like, i'm pretty sure the continously circling cars freak out ANYONE walking towards a car haha..i successfully stalked a guy last week, that was cool but MY GOD

Not if you turn up at 11:40

I'm thinking next year I'll save $120 and just go straight to c15 all the time.
