Sausage Watch
So far, on Sausage Watch:
- James wins Returning Officer unopposed. He uses this mandate to cast his judgement on everything the SU does... did he miss the part of his job description that mentions elections?!
- Despite not being on the Exec, Bluetooth Sausage insists on coming to every meeting to give his tuppence worth. Oh dear.
- James Sausage wins the prized position of Pulse Admin (unopposed)... is there no stopping this belligerent bureaucrat?!
- Sausage heightens his fame by imposing his iron fist and silky tongue on the masses during election night.
- Sausage runs for C&S, willy waving his superior constitutional knowledge and further enhancing his jobsworthy civil servant image.
- After a year of combining the serious SU stuff with 'the lighter side of James Sausage' Pulse play, Jimmy Eat Girl declares: but which Sabb post is he going for?
- Failing to win GenSec, James realises that you need to be either:
- a) popular
- b) a born leader
- c) charismatic
MEGA HOT Soshiety Goss!!!
Well, not really that exciting - certainly not as exciting as the invention of some sort of industrial strength white-head destroying cream.
Captain Morgan is furiously trying to sift through all of the rot and find sochieties worthy of a gold star, pat on the back and slap on the ass.
Leaked info suggests that the Knitting Society - essentially a bunch of ladies gassing about girl topics like kittens and Disney, whilst knitting, drinking tea and making lots of crummies - is up for a prize.
MEGA HOT GOSS!!!

I fucking love meetings
Especially ones that last for two hours. At 8AM. Such was the way for those exec members who wanted to give their 2p on who should receive life membership to the SU. Outcome: to continue the discussion on Thursday!
Also today was the C&S decision on the Emtirely Fishy v Helen 'Christine Hamilton' Roberts battle. Or rather, indecision. Whilst they have annulled the vote, there is yet to be a decision on what should happen next: re-open nominations, re-campaign or re-vote.
Just what we need: even more meetings!

Aftermath of count night
Here's some choice exerpts from the cleaner's report. We are bad, bad people.
- Sexually explicit graffiti on the white board.
- Window open with muddy footprints left on windowsill.
- Footprints noticed all over the dome above student service
- Connecting door to A318 vision panel broken.
- Toilet Mirror broken.
- Student found sleeping in a toilet cubicle.
Wil Barber Resignation Clock
It is now 107 hours, 50 minutes since The Monobrowed One won his place on the top table of the SU. Question is, when will he be resigning?
Rest assured Hack Attack wil be monitoring this situation carefully.
No, Daisy, no!

Icky crumbs
ISoc's 'Build-a-well' campaign is going really well. They're raising loads of cash by selling cakes and other fancies.
Problem is, that a comment by one of Buildiers (who reportedly looks just like Bob) revealed that the sweet, little cakes are actually out-of-date!!!!
Shock! Horror!
Look out for an epidemic of the well known eye-eating cake worm nibbling on a gut near you.

ULU VP jumps sinking ship
Now we know how much LSE students love ULU (bare jokes!), but given that we stuff their pockets with so many thousands each year, you may be interested in this weekend's drama.
Ashley McQuitter has pre-empted UL's reduction of the number of Sabbs by resigning immediately, citing irreconcilable differences with the 'leftie nutjob' Prez Jenny. He follows a long line of ULU Sabbs to quit the job. Perhaps it is because of shit they get from the University, the dire financial state of the Union, or maybe the high concentration of extremely poor quality student politicians who dare venture to Malet Street?
Here is the leaked email in all its gruesome glory.
After taking a period of time to consider my position at ULU, I have decided that with immediate effect I have no other choice than to resign from the office of Vice-President of the University of London Union.
The reason for my resignation is due to the complete break down of communication and the subsequent conflict between myself and the ULU President, Jennifer Huseman. I have had very little productive contact with the President since the ULU Senate in January at which I tried to air my concerns regarding her performance, commitment and attendance at ULU. Sadly, this had no affect on the situation with the President; it only served to increase the President's hatred and aggression towards me.
I feel forced into this position by the hostile attitude and behaviour directed towards myself from the President and can no longer continue to work at ULU under such circumstances. The stress and pressure which this has put upon my health, life and general well-being is unacceptable and I cannot continue in this way for the next 5 months.
It is with a sad and heavy heart that I am forced to take this decision; there was so much more that I was looking forward to accomplish in my time remaining at ULU. I would like to thank my fellow Vice-President's Joe Martin and Deigo Carmona for their continued support during this hard time and wish them the best of luck for the remaining time at ULU.

Moan elections?
Helen 'whining-is-my-past-time' Roberts has whacked in an official complaint to the overlords of the Union (C&S) over the teeny-tight victory of Less-Em-Pressive,-more-Fishy.
Her grounds to whine more than usual are fair: The Empress sent out mass grey area mails , abused her huge power as a Facebook group admin. to get her members to vote and was taken off the street for a while for doing something rather dodgy.
With 3 votes in it, we may see a repeat of the Krebbers vs. Ye Pointy One (you couldn't make Treasurer this year) palaver, where the close 1st vote sent the voters to a new ballot.
Or the ballot may yet stand. We wait to see how Baron Andrew Hallibut XIV deals with this.

Printing & screaming
Frustrations at the LEDC IT services standards at this uni are getting a bit much. Most of the election candidates picked up on it, but why don't the current Sabbs use the calls as a time to salvage their legacies? Afterall, one of them is dubbed Super-Ru.
The printer on the 1st floor of the library has been broken since 13th Feb. They could have bought and installed a new, working printer in that time...
Go on, fly! (Though don't tell Fish-fiddler's lame joke whilst you're at it)

The power of patronage
Incase you hadn't noticed already, LSESU is a strange place. As is traditional, the post-election period is filled with backslapping, commiserating and award giving. But in our bizarro-world Union, we have no such thing as a Laurels Committee to decide, fairly, who should be given honorary life membership of our Union. No, no, no, no! It is our all powerful executive committee who decides who is worthy of such an accolade, such is the feudal nature our SU.
This ultimately means that most our peerages get given to members of the committee themselves. What a coincidence! The big question is which exec members will be deemed unworthy of such honour? And which failed Sabb candidates will get a certificate? Will Steve 'Joey Deacon' Wall walk away with anything more than a bruised ego?
You they decide!

Love is in the air...
Election time provides us with ample quantities of the three major food groups of life: banter, lash and minge. Hacks are sex deprived creatures, but I suspect the ballots have something of an aphrodisiacal effect on them. Election night is notorious for its hookups, and this one was no exception...
- Which Essex boy cast his ballot in the mouth of a rising AU star? Will she be Returning for some more?
- This Hack thought all feminists were lezzers. Clearly not, as one nubile exec-member-to-be was rather taken with a lanky Media Groupee with bladder problems. Will she hustle his feathers?
- Which member of Team Odd Bod was the object of a Sabb-elect's affections? One wonders if he will have any condoms left to give to students by October...
- Which drunken couple slipped into a neighbouring room to do some dirty deeds during the evening?
