The Shit List: Week 2
Calling all masochists. The Tab’s guide to a terrible 2nd Week
Summer Drinks Social @ The Oxford Union
After Pot-Noodlegate at the Valentines Day event, the Union’s up-coming social is sure to be a steaming pile of disappointment. They say: free Summer Punches. We say: Watered-down Sunny D. Expect even more hacky drama and expect to care even less.
When: Tuesday
Where: The Oxford Union
Details: Here
Oxford Numismatic Society @ Jesus College
Two horrifically boring events for the price of one! The Oxford Numismatic (don’t worry, I had to google it too) Society are having their annual general meeting followed by a ‘serious analysis’ of the War from a coinage perspective. Ground-breaking stuff, kids.
When: Tuesday
Where: Harold Wilson Room, Jesus College
Details: Here
OULC, OUCA & OULD Crewdate @ Arzoo
Miliband in the Middle in OULC’s facebook event photo
The grimmest threesome imaginable. Lukewarm curry and stale political jokes will be flying left, right and left-of-centre. A few star-crossed, cross-party couple may even emerge. I sconce anyone who soiled their (ballot) sheet.
When: Friday
Where: Arzoo
Details: Here
Oxford Vegan Society Quiz @ The Gardeners Arms
Spurn spam or are confused about carrots? A monthly quiz for the vegan and ‘veg-curious’. Hope to spend many a happy hour debating how to pronounce quinoa (keen-wah, btw) and badmouthing those lazy vegetarians. Don’t tag along just to order steak with a side of bacon, you joker, you.
When: Sunday (so technically 3rd week, but shhh)
Where: The Gardeners Arms
