Ideas for Freshers Week?

[Al]

In that case, no I am not.

[JJ]

Nevermind - I thought I had cracked the mystery of Al - make it slightly easier for me, what year were you the Union Welfare bod?

[Al]

In the very early days of the pre-Cambrian era, when we lived in black and white, and colours could only be imagined.................

[JJ]

and there was a fast bar - and a tendency for everything to look like a chess board?

[Al]

Well, there was an Express Bar. I can remember that much. I can remember it being there in my first year and, I think, my second year, but I have seen so many "major refurbishments" I can't really remember what happened when and what changed when...

[JJ]

The was the Union "Chess" room....

and then that was refurbished into the airport lounge - with the doughnut thing in the imiddle.....

and then that was refurbished to the paint explosion - with the kebabs on the pillars....

[Al]

After each refurbishment the Union staff (by which I mean one man) would get just a little more stressed. No feet on chairs. No feet on chairs. No feet on chairs. Not that people would get the chance nowadays as they seemed to take out half the moveable seats. I always preferred the Beer Bar anyway. Or the Fraser Suite.

you must get the Hives, or I'm not coming!

[The_Farwall]

If you get the Hives, don't give them to me.

Or, my less joking response would be,

If you attempt to get the Hives, I'll laugh my arse off. If you actually do get the Hives then I'll eat my hat. And won't come.

It's been just about sorted out. I have seen with mine own eyes the big VPS whiteboard with all the stuff on it.
