LIP SERVICE gets you everywhere, as Yair Zivan, Debating Society President can attest. At a debate just before Christmas, Yair got up and introduced a speaker to the room, describing him as a soon-to-be “global media figure”. The figure in question? None other than Simon ‘Knob Jockey’ Dedman, the former Pi Editor and the man who gave Yair the chance to air his views in Pi Squared.
DOMINIC TARN, the Treasurer of the Film and TV Society, got himself in a pickle just before Reading Week. Having deposited a camera and some equipment in the film studio in the basement of the CSC building, Tarn then locked up and left for the evening. When he came back the next day, he was shocked to discover the camera had been stolen…only it hadn’t. Tarn had left expensive equipment in an unsecured room and another member had moved it leaving it in a locked area but in plain view. Rather than bother to search around for the equipment, Tarn rocketed upstairs to the CSC reception where he exploded in anger at the poor girl on the reception desk for supposedly giving out another set of keys to the studio. Despite being told that he had the only set of keys behind the desk, Tarn continued to blame the CSC and even went as far as filling out an incident form and emailing the staff in charge of the building. Apologies were muttered when Dominic discovered that the camera was in fact on a table next to where he had left it. Idiot.
