Quotes of the week - suggestions welcome

Ed Bauer (EEO) keeps up the great blogging work with a fantastic line to describe the difficulty people often have getting motions through the 'organ of change' that is Guild Council and the lasting effects the experience can have on both campaigns and fitness freaks alike;

"Passing a motion through guild council - had the same effect on the campaigns momentum as a 20,000 ton train traveling east at 86mph would have on 12 stone 3lb jogger traveling east."

And finally, Ed Sparkes (VPHC) clearly is still struggling to find a life outside the Guild. Unofficial Guild offered to take him out for a drink last week and it seems he is now getting desperate for company, with his most recent blog starting with the blunt question of;

"Are you around in Birmingham?", before changing the subject and asking people to volunteer to save the planet. We feel for you Ed, and our previous offer of a drink still stands. Oh, what the hell, make it a pint and a half!

  2. Emma - on your CV blog- good idea BUT we don't want CV enhancement to be the main reason that people decide to join committees and get onto RA's. Surely?
    Therefore it musn't be advertised to people before they get these positions.
