Kinky, although now Gavin's not there anymore I'm not so tempted.



Lol!

YOU!

I've not seen/heard of you in ages! Although that might be cos I've not been to cheesy pop since January (:colondollar:). My new flatmate goes all the time though so I'm sure I'll be there more next year.

Do it. Do it.

I just remembered that the two Scotland games after Wednesday night's are in Freshers week.

Another great excuse to get drunk if Scotland win. :p: :biggrin:

So I won't be able to watch the games in the beer bar unless I have a freshers pass? :frown:

They usually don't start checking passes until about 8pm-ish to all those still in the unions. If the GU exec had any sense (and that might be pushing it) I'd check everyone coming in after 8pm, but those in the beer bar would be allowed to stay and spend money until the end of the game- and they wouldn't be allowed in the rest of the building. 15 minutes after the final whistle, anyone not holding a pass would have to go elsewhere. Freshers don't usually turn up till 10pm-ish, so I don't see the problem.

That will be too much for the GU board to grasp though.

There was a TSR Glasgow subscribers meet tonight that went rather well as far as I'm concerned. Stace-is-Ace, Allthewayhome, ThisLittlePiggy (Aberdeen Uni scum :wink: ) and I got a bit sozzled at Radio on Ashton Lane. :awesome:

Yet no-one told me. Someone's going to pay for this.

I would have PMed you if I was able to remember your username. I can barely remember my own student reference number though, let alone yours. :p:

Actually, scratch that. The Scotland games are the week before Freshers. My bad.

The opening Champions League and Europa League fixtures, however, do.:smile:

We did indeed :smile:

Although...I needed some female company :sad: but that probably would have made the guys think I wasn't cool :cool:

040whateveritis are you still doing Freshers' helper? :awesome:

Rev :emo:

I don't like it man.

It's better to meet up in a pub or someplace when you can hear each other and not have to listen to icky music.

that is some hardcore anti GUness right there, dont get me wrong im QMU through and through (watching football in jims bar is a much better idea, as its generally quieter and if a game goes on later than planned the TV doesnt get turned off) but ive yet to meet any student organisation where "the board" has much sense. Anyone know what this years freshers are getting by the way?

Ach well that's alright, there's little Celtic support in uni. Actually there is little football support at all :p: .


I prefer a Celtic pub or my house and mates for the Cellic games

Not true, you can sit up in Jims when all that sketchy hardcore music is on- then run on down for things like Reel big fish and Jimmy eat world.

I guess I love it so much at the moment as it's pretty much the only time of the week this summer when you get to see everyone. Well, those who havent run off from Glasgow!

Can you please expand on this completely vague and unfair statement?

sorry if that came out harsher than i meant it, its just very easy to be cynical about student organisation and politics, didnt mean anything nasty by it, but in my own, admittedly limited experience, the big student organisations only ever oversee existing structures that have worked relatively well before, there are few attempts to do things differently or bring in new ideas.

The boards of the unions just happened to be the examples i thought of, the elections for board places,or at least ordinary board places, are fairly meaningless, even if there are enough candidates to make an election actually neccessary the candidates dont act any differently themselves once elected.

The boards just end up being another clique, which wouldnt be so bad except they're meant to be improving a union i use quite a lot.

Not that its that big a problem, as long as the beer prices dont skyrocket everythings good.


just like to clarify im not a bastard ive just been to QMU and GU board meeting before and been totally disillusioned
From being on in a QM-affiliated society last year, their board wasn't the most organised, at the start of the year anyway. It was a complete battle to try and get anything arranged and in the end someone had to gatecrash one of the board meetings! It did seem to improve later on though, with society-affiliated board members getting free entry, whoop! (This conveniently happened after the mentioned-society's vice present was talking to Ally Hunter after a few drinks and he asked her opinion of how good the QM were to the society...and got a full-blown rant. :p:) Toni_been, you're on the board, yes? Any idea if this free-entry thing is continuing? I'm a Cheesy Pop addict so it saved me a fortune!

The events were great this year though - with the Christmas Ball and B*Witched at Easter. I'm generally not a GU fan and it didn't have anything on to make me want to go.

I do partly see where 0404343m is coming from - the QM are strict about members only and signing people in where as the GU aren't, in my experience. I suppose they need the money...

I'll probably be hitting Rev/Jim's on a Tuesday a fair bit this year due to 1pm starts on a Wednesday. Hopefully the £1 drink promos will stay!
