Minty Fresh... fresher than the Prince of Bel-Air Monday 27th September 2010 So freshers? The first night out on your own and you have a quiet night in eh? With over 2,000 of you guys on campus, nothing could have prepared us for the hilarious manter (minty fresh banter!) that spewed forwards from Elements last night. To whoever proposed to our very own Gina Reay, we salute you!
Whilst our bathimpact Editor is of course married to the job, we will try our best to send any desperate fresh love straight to your doorstop. Other highlights of the night include the E45 ‘face-cream’ guys, Jay & Bish Bosh (well done sir’s, a cheesy pun goes a long long way!) and the infamous captain ‘Willie Milkins’ who – being her happy, affectionate self– decided that spooning young freshers was the best way to wel-

The international student meet and greet, earlier in the day, was a considerably tame affair, whilst the Freshers’ Week Crew not only managed to grind the entire Bath City bus service to a halt with their uber-keen town tours, but also infiltrated the Sunday Welcome Night at Elements! As well as starting a potential mosh pit in the middle of Plug, MintyFresh did hear of a few freshers giving you the ‘naughty naughty’ eyes. Fraser French and Martin Colin-Crewe, Vicky from Solsbury D-block would like to send, a very public, wolf whistle your way! Congratulations must go to the unsuspecting fresher who entered the

What you, the critics, had to say: Fresher of the Night: Chris from Belgium First year Chris has the honour of being named 2010’s first Fresher of the Night. After entertaining us MintyFreshers for hours on end with his quotes and general happy attitude, he took to the floor to show his gratitude at being granted the prestigious title. Last we heard he was causing some fresher mischief on the dancefloor Standard.
Who will win the honour tomorrow? It could be you!
“Let’s go to Elements.” Exciteable Norwood freshers: “Elephants?! Where?!” These freshers, they’re not that good looking, but one was definitely giving me the ‘naughty naughty’ eyes...” Male Freshers’ Crew “Are you a lesbian?” “No.” “Well I’m not either, so that’s perfect!” Random male fresher trying his best lines! “Pat Butcher or Peggy Mitchell?” “Barbara Windsor! Yeah she’s fit..” John from Marlborough
“Three balls or one boob?” “One boob, ‘cos it’s a boob - does waist size matter or not?” Definitely a breast man, albeit a confused one... “You see that Sabb over there? They’re really important, like ministers..” Awestruck female fresher “Three legs or one arm?” “Three legs.” “So you’d be like a tripod?” “Some guys are like tripods.” “Not you?” (Thinks) “Naaah.” Modest male (Minty) fresher
