What have I been up to?
Some have been wondering what I’ve been up to . . . well this explains the last 48 hours. Just to clarify, we are talking about a university hall . . . not the UN or any other exciting Parliamentary institution . . . and yes this is a real media release. I’ll leave the full story for another day :o)
Media statement
For immediate release
Monday 4 November 2006
Five members of the six-member Passfield Hall Committee would like to disassociate themselves from comments made by the President of the Committee, Orlando Bama, at Sunday’s (3 December) committee meeting.
As these comments were made during the committee meeting and in front of a Beaver reporter, we feel the need to ensure that the views expressed by the President are not taken to be the views of the committee as a whole.
We would like to clarify that comments made by the current President at the committee meeting about the behaviour of the previous interim committee, particularly regarding the finances of the Hall Committee, do not reflect the feeling of the rest of the committee.
We would like to express our full confidence in the previous interim committee and the work they did for Passfield Hall.
Sandra Rutova - Treasurer
Omar Gondal - Secretary
Jonathan Lim - Social Secretary
Martin Woolhead - Bar Representative
Fiona McKenzie - Postgraduate, International, General Course Representative
Another coup coming up?
Speaking of coups, you know that we’re still technically under martial law here? You wouldn’t know it.
The Thai style of coup is quite a good idea really. What you do is wait until the prime minister is out of the country, then sneak into his office and just start running things. If nobody really complains or notices (and the king says it was ok), that’s a successful coup.
And “disassociate” makes me think of chemistry.
But good on you for getting a good press release out. And good on you for having the longest title. That’s my girl!
Do you know what I just realised?
I can’t believe nobody caught that.
Look at the title of the press release.
Nothing wrong?
Look again and try paying extra notice to the dates.
