"No nightclub floor was too adhesive for the Florence Boot freshers. No '80's rock anthem proved too corny to sing along to at a deafening volume, no fancy dress theme too obscure, no novelty item from Portland Atrium too ridiculously overpriced, and bollocks if they were ever going to get tired of Week One's mandatory, 24 hour-a-day, anti-any-other-hall-which-happens-to-be-nearby-chanting. Bollocks if they were going to back down in the face of any of the bigger halls on campus either: FB seems to have quite a reputation for being a bit quiet, a bit sultry and mysterious, skulking round the West Entrance, loitering just outside Beeston like a chav on a BMX, but this year, by God did we hold our own. It's worth noting that one of our freshers in particular took our good-natured (ahem) anti-Rutland banter to heart more than any other in living memory, and in no way am I condoning what he did as a result of his feelings, but suffice to say it will remain the stuff of Florence Boot legend for many years to come. If I was allowed to, I would say that the man in question's act of vandalism was brilliant. But I'm not. So I won't."
