University of Glasgow blether thread

I thought it was always that way? Or does this mean it's like that during the day too, rather than just the evenings? I'm generally not in the GUU very often but I'd like to have the option to go.

The GUU has become a private members club following a bit of a stooshie at an Orange walk in the summer, so this may exempt it from the Act actually.

Roll on the 11th!!!

I think we should organise a lil meet for when everyone's back this time we're opening it to non-subs too

They still scare me a bit but I reckon it'd be okay if we're all going to uni here or whatever we have something in common.

*Is intrigued*

Class division in tsr much? I hope soon to join the ranks of you elite beings...

Haha! Hardly elite! There were only four of us and two of them only came along at the last minute so really it was just going to be me and foxo at first.

Anyone have any ideas about it then post them in here/mention if you're interested.

I'd be interested - Stace, you'll start to think I'm your stalker if I see you any more times without you seeing me.

I have much better things to spend my money on than having access to a knickers thread in a forum.

I think they just spewed their bile en masse like they normally do in these situations and the GUU got fed up with the abuse.

Sounds interesting, anybody know the full story?

My info is 3rd hand so my answer is "not me" really, but it sounded as if it was just them being a general nuisance plus a handful abusing member(s) of the staff.

Was after the Kelvingrove march.

Big surprise there then

Also had a look at my S1 timetable - for the first time at UoG I have no 9am starts With any luck, I'll also have a Friday without any classes.

I had a run in with the Orange Order myself down the Gallowgate and if anyone wants to see the action type into youtube "Fighting at the Orange Walk Barras".

Anyway, concerning the story behind the Orange Order and the GU I heard from a very reliable source that the GUU hierarchy found out about a potential putsch by the sons of william. By all accounts the Orange Order were planning to initiate a regime change as well as changing the title of the GUU to DOB. Donald Findlay was to be wheeled out as a sort of Ludendorf figure unfortunately he was sidelined after he consumed too much alcohol and collapsed on stage while conducting a rousing rendition of the Billy Boys, one of the Orange Orders favourite, jovial, family friendly songs. The plan was to turn the GUU into the head lodge for the Orange Order in Glasgow. This would have meant funny handshakes at the door, the British flag proudly draped from the building with a special commeorative murial of King Billy and his horse and the Battle Of The Boyne and the saluting of Queen Lizzie on entry. It would also have resulted in the permanent exclusion of any Roman Catholics, anyone who had married into a Roman Catholic family, anyone who had attended a Roman Catholic wedding or mass, anyone who had a Roman Catholic sounding name, and anyone who had watched Father Ted and enjoyed it. Thankfully, this never came into fruition and Donald and the rest of his ill-favoured looking sons of william were made to run like natives facing 16 pounder gun by some heroic GUU staff.
