Week one, Day One
- Everybody pack your lunch and sharpen your crayons, it's time to go back to school.
- Many things to talk about as this semester begins. First should be the library. The opening hours have changed on a trial basis. During the week the libraries are open 30 minutes earlier now with an 8am opening time. On Friday's past week 7 the Library will be open until 9pm. People said we couldn't do it. They were pessimistic. Well, we stood up and were counted and the great staff at the library, led my Gulcin, listened and acted. Well done.
- Drink the pub dry is Tuesday (Tomorrow night) at Melba's Night Club. While it's not my favourite event, it is a Bond tradition. Cost is $10 which gets you drive down on buses, a free drink on entry and drink specials all night. I must add that drink specials at Melbas are never that good. It's a fortune to go there.
- My favourite event of the semester happens this Friday - Pub Crawl. I haven't missed on yet. It seems as though we are gathering quite a pub crawl crew. I'm giving the staff the night off that night to enjoy themselves and get into some debauchery.
- The person who is "D" that comments on this blog every once in a while has been uncovered. We are in the process of finding exactly who it is. It's a mystery...but I have found this person's email and have been in contact with the mysterious "D".
- The culinary critic and I are going down to try and get a job in the Brasserie.
- The Skuller and I are considering setting up a club this Friday at club sign on day called the International Music society (or some bullshit name like that). Basically it's a reason to get money from the school so we can buy all the AC/DC DVDs and put them in the library for the use of everyone. We'll also buy a whole bunch of other music DVDs and have them for use of everyone in the library.
- The musician Seal says, "we're never gonna survive, unless we get a little crazy." Thanks to the craziest and best of all for that passage.
- Does anyone know who the guitarist pictured above is? One the best all-time...the guitar should give it away.
- More to come later...

Listen either the LSA President is our representative or he is a member of staff. Strict seperation of power. He has a 'Bond University' logo shirt on whilst he is flogging tickets to get drunk his words I quote 'Your ticket will get you transport there, entry to the club, a drink on arrival, drink specials all night, finger food and the opportunity to hang out and get drunk with and catch up with all of your Bond friends'
Thats not a reesponsible message from a member of staff who may bind the university in tort breaches. Resign President or wash dishes like Gordon and Matt
Randy Rhoads is the guitarist. Member of Quiet Riot, and also played with Ozzy Osbourne. Ever hear the song Crazy Train? That's him...
Listen my friend has been convicted of Drink Driving. The second offence was whilst he was under supervision by the Court on the first (ie told not to drink drive by the court). He is a self confessed beer o holic. He wants to come to Bond. He has a drinking problem. How can I advise him or keep him away from the LSA President's temptations to get drunk?
I dont really have that much experience with alcohol. I am only 18. I was walking past the arch and a man (I am now told is the LSA President) walked up to me in a Bond Staff uniform. He asked me to come to LSA Drink the Pub Dry night. He also asked my friend who is still 17. (She is not even a student here). I thought he was staff so I felt obligued to buy it as did my girlfriend. I have just read this persons email stating that its an event 'to get drunk' etc. I dont really like alcohol. I and my friend who cant legally go felt pressured to buy the tickets to ensure we get decent jobs when we graduate. (isnt the LSA President also getting paid to find us jobs by BOND hence the uniform). Do we have to get drunk? Can we have a refund? Is it legal to sell a ticket to a seventeen year old? Will the LSA President still find me a decent job if I dont go? Just what does he expect of us at the event?
Can my friend run for the LSA? Would he have to disclose his criminal history prior to running for office? Will he get admitted when he graduates?
I pledge $50 dollars if Jack Blackburn get a short back and sides haircut. Are there any other takers.
I'm in for $30 ...
I clean microwaves. That is more than enough.....
Oh and btw have you been to the bookshop? There is a lot of stuff with the Bond University logo on it.
Finally, in relation to skullers haircut. I will pledge $30 but ONLY if Drew cuts it during the faculty wars...
Brendan;
You think I'm only worth $30 - I'm insulted!
Lets up the ante ... If you raise $10,000 for a registered charity of MY choice, I'll come and shave YOUR head completely bald. If you raise it and chicken out you must wear a shirt around Uni (uncovered) for one week with the words "I'm a big Girly Man" in large letters on it (front and back) and will forever be known as "The Big Girly Man".
You were in for $30!!! Skuller has been growing his hair for 2 years and that's all it was worth to you!
Anyways, as I said on your blog. I am happy to accept if your charity is the Bond Law Students.
You are happy to bag me if you think I am not looking after them 100% so put your money where your mouth is.
If I can raise $10,000 for the Bond Law Students I get to shave your head and make you wear a silly shirt for a week. If I fall short, said head shaving and shirt wearing reverts to me.
Deal?
Brendan
Do I hear someone chickening out? - Big Girly Man ...
“Sadie,” I said. “Flex the fingers, massage the little biceps and stand by the beer pump. If that bracelet is going to get in the way, take it off. I want action.”

OK so be warned I am a self confessed beer o holic. The LSA president has sold me a ticket to 'drink the pub dry' friday night. Whatever attrocities I may commit he has bound the University by sellling the same whilst he wore a Bond University Uniform and I know him as a member of staff. The crazed steriod freaks masquerading as crazed steriod freaks who 'work the doors' of the local establishments are on notice that the University will be joined in any actions for injuries caused by their 'roid rage' upon my feeble persona.
I have a new found respect for the staff at the Brasserie. Gordon History Degree and impressive CV and myself (3 time loser) applied for a job wahsing dishes. We cant get a start. The staff down there are obviously holding numerous degrees and outstanding CVs. I wonder if it's my hep status and HIV issues?
Does the LSA have insurance to cover itself regarding Tort actions re the LSA 'Drink The Pub Dry" event? Is the insurance company aware that the LSA President has promoted the event as "and the opportunity to hang out and get drunk with and catch up with all of your Bond friends"? Even if the LSA is insured will the Insurer cover such an event?
Your right I see an opportunity here. I have already collected a flier as evidence. Coupled with the LSA Prsidents email I am going to film the evening. I am sure some unfortunate student who has followed the LSA Presidents advise will come unstuck. He/she will either be an offender or victim of crime. If that doesnt happen I will just hang outside 'the establishment' until some unfortunate has spent all his/her cash at exactly the same time the 'crazed steriod freaks' will unlawfully assault him/her in his/her eviction. I can then sell/assist the accused. Why is the LSA President intent on students being at risk of prosecution due committting crime thru alcohol consumption. It is a statistical fact that excessive alcohol consumption significantly increases the chance of being an offender or victim of crime. The LSA President of all people should be encouraging responsible consumption of alcohol. Brendan you are a mature man significantly older than many of these young men and women. Show some maturity and leadership. If one student is assaulted or in any way harmed on this event I will hold you personaly responsible.
Is part of my student activity fee going to this insurance? Are the rates higher because of comments like the one ambulance chaser talks of by the LSA President?
I was a victim, However i think its great the LSA is following Skullers lead and supporting the irresponsible consumption of alcohol.
I outlasted Donoghue also, before those mothafucking security gaurds . . .
