I love Sam: this morning we both received our latest LoveFilm films. This evening we excitedly opened our films and found? Enchanted! For both of us ...

What saps we are.

How annoying: I've just found out that JP Hall (the one proper performance space in the University, which has been closed all year for renovations) is now in the care of NIECI, not Central Reservations.

I'm not sure yet what impact this is going to have on the performing societies (worst case scenario is they can't book the hall anymore or will have to pay to use it, best case is they won't notice any difference); what really annoys me is that after three years of discussions with the University on various aspects of JP Hall (problems with bookings, storage space etc), nobody thought to either consult with or inform the Students' Union about this change.

It's really quite disheartening. I think we've done a lot of work to build a strong relationship with the University, but we still end up being ignored or (perhaps worse) forgotten about. I don't think we've been ignored, actually (did they really think we wouldn't notice and wouldn't get annoyed about this?), I think it just did not occur to the decision-makers that this might impact on us somehow. How upsetting!

I'm sorry I'm not being very good at writing. To make up for it, look at this lovely video Stephen showed me:
