Hands up who thought the ball was shit. *puts hand up* "RUDE" was the theme of my evening.
No disrespect to John as the ball convenor, I'm sure he did a great job, but the hotel and the staff just didn't cut it. I found them irrepressibly rude throughout the whole evening, including the bouncers/doormen/security staff (I assume they are S2, and the rudeness is the same as at the union), and would no way want to go back to that hotel unless I was a paying guest. I understand that staff working at a hotel have to put up with a lot of shit, but that really is no excuse for treating us like that. Not all of us are drunk lazy students and I don't appreciate being tarred with the same brush as them. Please and thankyou go a long way, especially for a 5* hotel who prides itself on reputation.
Steph was also very rude when I spoke to her. Out of order, considering she's supposed to be "one of us" Mind you, I wasn't surprised, since shouting "dobber" out of car windows at me was a specialty back in the day.
Just when I thought my night was getting better, I returned to my table, to find it completely cleared. Our masks had been BINNED. I spent so much time, effort and money on making that mask, and I only now wish that I had taken up the offer to make a free one.
I was with good friends, having a great time, and all these things just completely ruined my night. I pay 50 quid hall subs for what? To have people be rude to me, and my mask STOLEN. Can't even get newspapers at the weekend because the bistro is shut.
As for me being an unregistered user, don't use that argument against me. There's no point in me setting up an account at this time of night just so I can post one comment. If there's anyone on the shambles of a committee I can officially complain to, then let me know.
