The Bath Jets spread the word as they display their tossing talents by the lake.

VICE PRESIDENT ACTIVITIES AND DEVELOP-MENT, DAVID CAMERON:

“Condoms, lube and a straight guy ”

Yes that’s right, it was Carnival Day yesterday! Parade was cram packed full of Bath’s amaz-ing groups and societies showing off their various talents to entice you lovely freshers to join in! mintyfresh first paid a visit to Bath

Jets who were kind enough to give us our own personal show. Gravity Vomit were also around, and no, they were not giving fresh-ers advice on their up-chuck reflex, but letting them have a go at juggling up to

mintyfresh’s: ‘MUST NOT MISS’

!EPIC FRESHER WIN!

This lovely fresh-faced fellow (trust us on that one) wins our infamous acclaim for his artistic

abilities. He managed to fashion his plain white T into an original styled UV creation. Beautiful.

CALLING ALL FRESHERS;A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO GET

FREE STUFF!Tomorrow is the penultimate day of Freshers’

Week and, although we know this is a very sad thing to admit, there IS a silver lining.

The Freshers’ Fair in the main arena starting at 10am is your chance to stock up on pens,

pizza and other products. Beware of the dogy hotdogs, but rush for the wash stuff as this is always the most popular stall after a week of sweaty partying. GET THERE EARLY so not to

miss the best bits.

seven balls -- we were suitably impressed.The sun once again made an appearance and as the wonderful URB put out some summery tunes; everyone almost forgot it was nearly October. ChaOS, the choir and orchestra society asked us to put our hands in their boxes to ‘guess the content’ - which was (obviously) all music related. If you guessed all the items correctly you were entered into a draw to win iTunes vouchers, our favou-rite items included drum sticks, which initial-ly felt suspicious, and a bag of quavers - get it? (We didn’t.)

The gender equality group asks “What does gender equality mean to you?” - let us know

the answer to this on facebook!

Our reporter gets the inside story on what has really been going on down by the lake. Ms Puddleduck informed minyfresh that there has been a a lot of ‘ducking around’. Jemima also said that she thinks all the freshers are ‘quackers’ and she that is quite impressed about the amount of ‘breading’ that has been going on.

Quack, quack, quack whatcha laughin’ at?

The Welsh Soc were spreading the message; ‘Yes, anyone can join (even the English!)’, the Christian Union were spreading the love with Fresh-ly bought cupcakes and mesages of joy and the gender equality group were using balloons to attract people’s attention. And by baloons we mean the latex kind, not as a eu-phemism for any kind of body part - how very unlike us! The amphitheatre was the most pop-ulated area as you guys crashed out after a hard week’s partying. Now man up, get up and get your meat on ready for tonight’s do, whether you’re feeling dead or alive *wink*.

Everything turned ultravio-let, and as the lights turned off, you guys really started to ‘glow’ for it.

COMING UP TODAY

For the second night in the row, Derhill has shown mintyfresh that they know how to hold a party, even if its an incredibly cheesy af-fair. Around 70 students joined in a YMCA showdown, most of them stumbling, some of them surprisingly agile. Despite apparent rivalries against Eastwood and Westwood, we found a small of group of guys in green desperately wish-ing that they could melt into the background of Westwood blue. When asked, no demanded, as what they were doing in Derhill, they sullenly replied, “Eastwood is shit”. At Brendon Court an incredible sight of around a hundred freshers crowded around; a bin full of cider, blackcurrant, vodka, rum, Pimms and schnapps... never had we seen such a large group of freshers socialising to this level, congrat-ulations to you. In Cotswold: Kieran W, Kieran D, Paul and Henry, managed to conduct the theft of a potplant that they thought was a pineapple, through a first floor window. Once the disap-pointment of their error hit them and they re-alised they couldn’t save on the monthly food bill by consuming their prize, they decided that in-stead the logical next step was to cover the plant in glitter and leave it outside another fresher’s room, accompanied by a love note. How illegal, yet also strangely sweet. Keep up the good work.

!FRESHER OF THE NIGHT! Our fresher of the night has to be our old friend, Gracie, who has handled every situ-ation this week with an incredible level of

humour; the incident that everyone knows about from night one, the later injuries inflicted

by a very enthusiastic bedfellow, and still she has been found today deep-throating a

Calippo for the entertainment of her flatmates, and putting ice cubes somewhere unmen-tionable. Whilst we do not endorse this level of misbehaviour, we fully endorse being able to bounce back with a situation with a smile,

laugh, and no fear to continue being yourself. Gracie, we love you.

Shaken, not stirred.Thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of funky four-some ‘The Finer Things’ (whom our mintyfresh reporter was rather taken with) the PG Bond Night recovered from a slow start. With classily clad post grads getting thoroughly shaken and stirred on the dance floor, proving it isn’t just the young ‘uns who can have a good time.

Cai from Eastwood, may look harmless here. But, mintyfresh has been informed that he in fact has had a series of epic fails

throughout the week. Fail 1: pissing in his room cos’ he couldn’t

be bothered to walk to the loo. Fail 2: trying to lay a log on a passed out flat mate then doing it in his hand instead and chasing everyone round the house

with it. Fail 3: getting carried off the main stage by

the bouncers at some point this week.

The highlight of the evening in The Plug had to be the pool competition. A tight final was con-tested by Husni of Eastwood 3 and Peter from Mendip, Westwood. The winner was deter-mined by best of three, both players were on the black in the first round which Husni won due to a potting error by Peter. An equally close second round was also won by Husni, meaning he claimed the £10 bar voucher as well as 100 hall points. Mr. Floppy was also in attendance and, despite strong per-formances in rounds one and two, he shot his load in round three and limped out of the com-petition. Adam Firth showed up with what he boasted to be a pro-graphite cue, the cue was on top form. Adam, however, went out immedi-ately.

The mintyfresh team checked out the DJ com-petition this evening, but it seemed to have been cancelled (or so we assumed from the empty judges table). The high points were definitely the DJ giving a shout out to his friends ‘can I get my cheer from my flatmates please?!’ followed by a deathly silence, and a crewmember tripping over a booth and falling flat on his face. Good effort man, good effort.

UV night really let you guys express your co-lours. Never have we at mintyfresh witnessed such a sea of brightly dressed people. Ok, that might be a lie, but you guys definitely did it with added flare. A rough and ready Zane Lowe played an awesome set, which had you lot jumping up and down like a kangaroo on heat. Tonight saw a different kind of substance sprayed all over your beautiful faces. We are very much looking forward costume creations tomorrow.
