Freshers' Fair '08

Today was the chaos that is Freshers' Fair, where hundreds of impressionable new students see the Guild Hall in daylight (and free of vomit and alcohol) for the first time, and cyncical final year students try every tactic they learned in their Business Studies lectures (which, let's face it, had to come in useful somewhere) to con the freshers out of their student loans.

I was on joint duty for CompSoc and LMS (Live Music Society), so it seemed logical to have the two stalls placed next to one another with Guitar Hero inbetween them. Unfortunately this rather impacted on my work ethic at times, but at least I looked rock 'n' roll:



Actually, it turned out to be a great idea, though it drew a lot more geeks over than it did musicians.

We got about 50 members for each society, which wasn't quite as good as I hoped, but we should get a bunch more over the next couple of weeks for each society. Now if you don't mind, I'm off to practise Guitar Hero III religiously for the next 50 hours straight. There was a chap there who could beat me at Dragonforce, and that just won't do.

We also sold a few more Tie-Dye Quartet albums, which was nice. Might need to print more if this keeps up ;)

Proposal

Browsing the pop-humour over at GraphJam, I came across this:

Carrie, Will You Marry Me?


Yep, someone's proposed to a girl on GraphJam.

I don't bring this to your attention to show the supreme idiocy of men, or the extremes to which people are addicted to bad Venn diagrams, but to recommend you read the comments section of this graph. It's packed full of little gems, and is almost as funny as reading a thread on Mumsnet.

Oh, by the way, she said no.

Ouch.
