The final part of Pointless Questions features VP Fuck-all VP Engagement and VP Welfare. Click for part one and two. All that VP Engagement that will be looking after are RAG and… not a lot else. 

Claire Gilbert who, despite describing herself as “not very sporty” likes darts, Tour De France and football. She wants to be an arts administrator, gives herself a 6/10 and once lost a shoe, phone ad knocked out someone’s contact lenses in one night in Jesters. Claire compares herself mostly to Sasha Watson and his “cool, calm, collective yet enthusiastic” mantra.

Fiona Cook whom was a vegetarian for 9 years and nearly did technical theatre before deciding on philosophy. The worst thing to happen to here was when her friend threw up on her arm, but this was rectified when she wiped it onto someone else. She describes SUSU as a “place of opportunity” and said she was unsure about the hottest people on her campaign team as she doesn’t have Lucy Upshall or Michelle Dando.

Adam Moloney, enjoys canoe polo, watching Game of Thrones and used to shovel horse excrement when he was 14. He wants to be a teacher in later life and would write “well done, you made it to the top…oh wait, we’re out of prizes” at the top of the Maths tower. 

Lastly, VP Welfare who will be looking after you during your time at Southampton! 

Beckie Thomas, who once met Newton Faulkner and he told her “you should always have time for a really long hug”. She enjoys a night in Jesters listen to cheese and sing along to every song. Beckie says everyone on her campaign team are hot and refused to give me her pincode. As an alternative degree she would do, fitting in with her “positive, active & creative” description of herself.

Josie Torrice, who is a big fan of extreme sports, and didn’t take a gap year as growing up in East London meant she has “already experienced third world poverty”. When asked about the most embarrassing thing that had happened to her in a club, I got worried as she started with “well, you know that photo that went viral“, but sadly she was joking and it was in fact loosing both her shoes in Jesters and having to walk home bare foot.

Josh Cox whose favourite sport is driving and has skydived from 13,000 feet. He described SUSU as “food…cat food” and wants to work for Anthony Nolan on the Bone Marrow Register when he’s graduated. Having recently been to Florida, and being from Bournemouth, has Josh got a good enough tan to get your vote?

Sophie Brewer who chooses a £2.50 bottle of wine from premier over any other beverage. She wishes she had taken a gap year just so she could say “gap yarh” and enjoys a night in Jesters. If she could choose an alternative degree, it would be Zoology or Rocket Engineering. Finally, her new years resolution is to casually climb Mount Everest bare foot with “some sort of charity aid to an orphan at the top”, that and to get a Jesters gold card.

I hope this helps you make the right choice when voting; as opposed to just choosing the best looking ones. Vote here
