    Or else they've been handed a mailing list that seems to be missing half the people that should be on it.

    If the societies could manage to understand the concept of the BCC function, especially in the first few emails after Fresher's week, it would be really nice.

    I don't like playing the grumpy old man (wait a minute, what the fúck am I saying? I live for that shít), but, like, make friends with BCC, dudes.

    All these issues are very easily dealt with: have the committee member working the stand to write the emails addresses themselves.

    I understand that things can go wrong but I do believe some societies just aren't arsed. I had a bad experience with the climbing club clompletely blanking me when I showed up one day, even though I was a member. Same thing happened to my girlfriend. It's a different committee nowadays, so I'm sure they're much nicer now.

    haha, apologies for making it sound more interesting than it is :)
    Basically I seem to have reached the "looking around the arts block and thinking everyone is an utter tit" stage earlier than usual. So I'm in the awkward position of loving my classes but feeling like I really don't belong here. Not sure if I can make it 4 years like this tbh :o

    Ah, shit one. To give a cliched bit of advice, join a society. They're class.

    It's definitely worth sticking it out. I started feeling like that when I went to my first Sociology classes and found that I hated my classmates. The Arse Block may be full of prats, but look elsewhere for somewhere to fit in. There's a society for everyone.

    Spamming, ban plz thx bi.

    In the interest of fairness, you should consider joining one of the clubs that aren't as good as judo.

    I was plugging the ultimate frisbee club actually. I hadn't even thought of you, trollhammaren. Though it does look like I set you up there!

    I suppose this puts me on 3, anyway...
