Why do they make it so expensive - it's not as if they have to pay to rent out space, and you buy drinks there ffs! As you're actually funny I imagine your experience at such a uni was similar to mine hahaha !We also had 2 of the Vengaboys (a man dressed as a sailor and a woman in gold lycra) and Chesney Hawkes - who tried to sing some of his newer songs, but everyone kept bellowing 'the one and only' at him until he got into a huff, threw his microphone on the floor and stormed off stagepoor man should have realised a room full of drunk students wasn't the best time to try and be a 'serious arteeest'
ETA - sounds like we went to similar kind of unis - I could only afford the tickets for uni events due to my evenings moonlighting as a fluffy Russian - am forever in Vlad's debt
Ooh, we had Chesney Hawkes as well! And the crowd was exactly the same, yelling for 'the one and only' while he determinedly sang about 20 other covers. He didn't storm off stage though, so maybe he'd learnt a lesson from your gig.

Freshers year so beautifully summed up there. I can still feel the plasticky mattress and broken springs.Karl was too old to be sleeping with someone in a single bed that's screwed into the floor & donning a mattress protector to save you from the decades of filth before you.
Same! He did one of our end of year Union nights...didn’t storm off despite us all yelling for The One and Only to be sung.Ooh, we had Chesney Hawkes as well!

Jo had such an aggressive energy even as a child she kind of scared meSame! He did one of our end of year Union nights...didn’t storm off despite us all yelling for The One and Only to be sung.
We also had three members of S Club 7 turn up, Jo and two of the guys. They were so shit it wasn’t even funny.
Tbf my freshers year was mostly a blur.Back in my day, if you can still remember Freshers, you weren't doing it correctly. I don't remember much of it at all!
These days, Freshers is all about making sure you carry your branded water bottle around, drink copious amounts of fancy coffees and cycling enough on the juice bike to power it to make you a free smoothie.
I'm sure I would have shared my mascara with you in the loos. Anyway, you are amazing. I love you. Fuck that guy. You are strong and fabulous. https://giphy.com/3oz8xE0CPk7NyTIIbmsadly, it's long gone.
ee, that's cool that our paths may have crossed! I *know* I had many deep and meaningful chats in the toilets and corridors, but I cannot recall a single person I spoke to, due to large amounts of WKD
wwhat did he do? perform a hollyoaks monologue on stage?At our Fresher's we had....drum roll please...Calvin from Hollyoaks.
chesney hawkes would probably be better off just performing the one and only overand over for his whole set tbhSame! He did one of our end of year Union nights...didn’t storm off despite us all yelling for The One and Only to be sung.

i remember once in first year atthe end pf term and a particularly heavy night wondering if anyone would notive if I was sick into my bag during an examWe didn't have a freshers ball but we had a big kind of party at the student union with very cheap drinks. I pulled a young man who I drunkenly thought looked like Rob Newman from The Mary Whitehouse Experience and ended up spending the night in his room in halls. Went straight to a lecture the next morning (having discovered on waking that he didn't really look much like Rob Newman at all) covered in the Strawberry Mad Dog 20/20 that I'd spilled down myself and had to leave halfway through to be sick. I have always been a classy lady.
