Fun and games at the Freshers Fair

Having been up since seven sorting out a Freshers Fair, TB is exhausted.

Was a very eventful day - not just in the extremely successful recruitment drive. - Thank you to the kind providers of the huge Gordo cut-outs and the now infamous Serene John-Richards pointing banner.

Oh no the fun and games started after lunch when a pitchfork-brandishing, torch-burning hoard of unruly hippies descended on the Tory stall, picking twigs out of their hair and shouting.

It seems the "Life's better under a conservative..." poster caused a bit of stir. It was vandalised, torn down and there was quite a scene. Armed only with CF bottle openers and very colourful t-shirts, the bastion of freedom resisted the attack of the angry hoard of communist rebels.

Before anyone could say "Matt Drudge" the inquisitive and eager young hacks of the esteemed student newspaper were already on the scene.

TB gave them this statement:

"Well its common knowledge that right-wing girls are more attractive than their lefty counterparts so why not capitalise on that fact... As per usual the hippies have displayed their characteristic and famous lack of humour over this issue"

During a lull in the constant stream of freshers and seedy 3rd years loitering around the freshers, TB took a moment to go undercover to the deepest darkest corner of the room, that occupied by Labour Students...

Picked up all sorts of leaflets and invitations, anyone fancy coming to this?


Well next weeks student rag should make amusing reading, in the meantime TB is off to crash Labour Students "Champagne Socialism" reception. Guest speaker: Margaret Curran MSP - defeated Glasgow East by-election candidate. Will be sure to pass on all of your commiserations...

Will TB's cover be exposed...? sssssh don't tell.

Mmmm lets compare Labour Students accessibility with CF...

Remind me how much the YBF event training the activists of the future will cost?

Yes that is correct £75! Compared with Labour Students at £30 at the Worker's Stately Home I can tell you which is the more accessible.

I guess the Greens could just have it at the stately home of one of their student leaders.

They put us right next to the Labour lot which turned out to be okay as we were able to kill time slagging off Lib Dems and the Militants who showed up.

I commented on the lack of any photos of the glorious leader on their literature.

They pleaded the fifth amendment.

It's actually £10 at YBF this year. And is only £30 for students normally so...

Labour Students = No flair.

the campus thing is £10, but the big thing late October time is 75 quid I think.

Exactly, YBF will be £10.
Anyone else fancy a trip to Scotland...?

We crashed them in 2001 and 2002. They were not happy.
