Stand Spotlight
Are you in the spotlight?
We’ve been getting closer with the most important people around – our readers!
George Waite, 2nd year Earth Sciences
Jude Law – I would turn for him!
What has been your best Halloween costume?
I once went out in London wearing a banana suit.
What is the strangest thing I would find in your bedroom?
Over 50 copies of a photo of myself posted all over the wall…
Would you rather have sex with a pig but no one will ever find out, or have everyone think you had sex with a pig?
I would probably have to do the deed; I wouldn’t want everyone thinking that about me!
Hannah Lafere, 2nd year Psychology
What do you think of the Stand’s new website?
I like it, it kind of looks like Buzzfeed. (Informative, hilarious and ideal for procrastination? Great!)
Who is your secret celebrity crush?
Lord Elrond from Lord of the Rings – it’s the ears and the tiara that do it for me!
What was the craziest thing you did during Raisin?
In an attempt to win a game of hide and seek I hid in the cabbage patch on Hope Street. This turned out to be so brilliant that no one found me and I ended up falling asleep there and winning the game.
Empire or Dervish?
Empire, ever since Dervish tried to become a “restaurant”. (I think that’s a “stay true to your roots” message!)
Rose Hanlon, 2nd year Spanish and Comparative Literature
What is the craziest thing you’ve done whilst drunk?
During Raisin I tried to photocopy my ankle in the library.
What was your best Halloween costume?
When I was little two of my friends and I dressed up as a three-headed witch!
Would you rather have no eyebrows or a monobrow?
Erm, a monobrow?
Now for the all-important question… Empire or Dervish?
Dervish, every time.
John Stackhouse, 3rd year Biblical Studies
Stackhouse, like in True Blood?
(Nervous laughter)
So, who is the most famous person you’ve ever met?
Hugh Grant at the Old Course. But I saw Selena Gomez in Copenhagen Airport too.
Would you rather sweat mayonnaise or have hiccups for the rest of your life?
Sweat mayonnaise, but that’s disgusting!
What is the best fancy dress item you own?
I have a Stormtrooper helmet at home, it even has an automated voice.
