Voting is NOW OPEN for BNOC of the Year 2014

You’ve been sending in your nominations thick and fast.

From AURFC veterans to first years (silly freshers) here are your ten options for The Tab’s prestigious BNOC of the Year 2014.

It’s time to crown your champion – find the voting link at the bottom of the page.

 

Etienne “Bus Killer” Melville

Known to his closest friends as Sweatienne and Cretienne, he also made a name for himself with his unusual bathing habits, taking the term ‘VK shower’ to a whole new level.

However, he’s also the only known living man who can enjoy a Liquid Wednesday stone cold sober – probably because he’s just that much of a BNOC.

He’s the rare kind of Masters student who is using his extended university career to perfect his strawpedoing technique. Good on him.

 

Blair Hush

The original BNOC, ‘Blair Hush’ has been on everyone’s lips since first year. You can start a long and lengthy conversation with anyone in Aberdeen simply by mentioning his name.

Liquid Wednesday isn’t the same without him, which the club obviously understands as no matter how many times he gets thrown out, they simply can’t ban Blair.

From swimmer to skite lord to Tab writer, the man does everything and knows everyone.

BNOC was created for Blair.

 

Liseli Sumbwanyambe

Being only a first year, you may think it would be difficult to be a BNOC, however, Liseli has defied all odds.

She organises inter-sport socials and works at Nando’s… need we say anymore?

In addition to this a walk on campus with Liseli gathers more conversations than thought possible in a day.

Liseli is the Queen BNOC and Aberdeen is her Kingdom.

 

Ali Mog

He’s a DJ. He’s a Lacrosse man. Some even say he’s a ladies man.

He has AUMLC tattooed on his arse and came back from tour without an eyebrow – but that doesn’t stop the kind of man who hires out the top floor of Liquid for his birthday – did we mention he’s a DJ?

No matter his hair colour on any given week, everyone recognises this boy whether in Liquid VIP (taking some time out from DJing) or on campus.

A true BNOC.

 

Genna Clarke

She’s next year’s President for Welfare and Equal Opportunities – but she’s not your typical fun sponge sabb.

She managed to convince over eighty people to strip for her election. campaign – and put posters of herself naked up around campus.

Known not only for her nakedness, but the girl also captains the Lacrosse Seconds team and can frequently found in Liquid strawpedoing VKs like a pro.

You’ll either see the red hair first or catch a whiff of her home baking, which is lusted after at LAX bakesales.

Most of campus caught sight of her getting stuck in the library’s revolving door – and in case you were wondering, this is the Genna Clarke our library’s Facebook page is in a relationship. She’s that big a deal.

If she wasn’t a BNOC before this year, 2014 is the year everyone was talking about Genna.

 

Jamie “Clunge Monkey” Norman

Described as a “genuinely a popular guy at uni, but the most socially awkward person I know. Everyone knows this – except Jamie himself.”

He’s massively involved in several societies at uni, including Improv and Creative Writing. He’s known for lending a hand at a lot of the weird stuff in AUSA.

He’s super recognisable from his walk and face. Nick names include “Clunge Monkey” and “Jamie Normal”.

Can also be found mouthing off The Tab to anyone that will listen. The anti-BNOC BNOC of our nominations.

 

Clive Basingstoke

Your favourite (and only) columnist on The Tab, Clive’s got the cattiest chat we publish and was almost annexed by HQ for supreme trolling.

Clive is the brainchild of two equally weird and hilarious flatmates who, amid all their extracurricular activities, found time to create a cat alias. He even has his own Facebook page.

You will never meet Clive, but long may his witty banter reign.

 

Bob Davies

Bob is a very rare breed of popular Mathematician. His ripped, muscular physique makes him great with women, and he can always be found in Liquid/Nox VIP with a bottle or two of Goose – usually bought for him.

An all round nice man, ask any woman/man/child. This guy turns heads at the Hub, the library, just any uni location. A true budding BNOC.

 

Douglas Macmillan

This man is in liquid week in week out and rarely seen without a VK in his hand.

A well liked and well respected man with a fierce tackle on the rugby pitch. 

Known commonly as ‘The Flame’ because he is so hot!

 

Graeme Clow

“A man known by many and loved by all,” said his nominator, “I urge you to put his name into the mix for the award.”

Despite coming to uni behind a well-known older sibling, GClow in no way stood in his brother’s shadow.

You’ll hear him before you see him chanting with AURFC – normally because he’s on his knees, VK in hand.

As the future Captain of the AURFC 1st XV GClow is THE biggest name at Aberdeen Uni and he will forever be Standing Free!
