Unfortunately,
this week of magical fun and fresher freedom is coming to an end and MintyFresh must bid you farewell. Saturday saw an array of vibrant demo performances from Gravity Vomit, Latin & Ballroom, BodySoc and Salsa as part of Arts and Media Day 2010. URB, CTV and, our wonderful team, bathimpact were there to attract the journalists of tomorrow among you, at our stalls down in LevelOne Café. In the evening, Elements played host to ‘Comedy Central Live’, featuring hilarious acts from comedians Josh Widdicombe and John Gordilo
Bath is a historic Roman city, and what better way to celebrate our heritage than with a MASSIVE TOGA PARTY?! A few of the more sensible Freshers among you came as centurions, keeping nice and warm in the process. The rain was no deterrent for any of you though. Some even went to pretty extreme lengths to stay dry, such as wrapping themselves in bin liners and cardboard boxes. Speaking of rain, Minty’s very own Gina was treated to a fro-

threesomes and even the occasional threat of violence! Some of the more disgusting stunts included licking the floor and eating sheets of CTV stickers. You turned up the rave when offensively cool Beat a Maxx mashed up a psychedelic set to the delight of all you Roman beauties.

zen pea shower… we’re still picking them out of her hair. A veritable rainbow of togas was on display, with Captains and Sabbs showing the Freshers how it’s done in their custom green and orange togas. White is sooo 42BC. There were some frankly outrageous attempts to get into the final issue of MintyFresh including all sorts of offers, from bribes of 50p through to
Special MintyMentions must go to ‘newlywed’ Cat from Eastwood, birthday girl Sinead and finally, Guten Tag to Felix from Germany who seized the golden opportunity to do his laundry while no-one was around, good thinking!

Fresher of the Week: Tom from Cotswold And the winner is… Cotswold’s very own DT! As if coining the term MFanter wasn’t enough, Tom has been consistently awesome throughout the week. He astounded us with tales of insane pizza toppings (Yorkshire puddings, beef burgers, fried peas and cheesy wotsits, mmm) and kept the party going from the kitchen to the Sports Hall. Our highlight was the moment he stole an umbrella and ran across Westwood insisting that he was Mary Poppins. Congratulations, Tom, for becoming Fresher of the Week 2010.

What you, the critics, had to say: DT partying it up in his purple bikini on Beach Party Night, padded with two bags of Walkers crisps “in case he got hungry”
Tom found an umbrella. He then decided to skip around Westwood shouting”Look at me, I’m Mary Poppins!
Fresher of the Night: Carlotta
“Who needs lube when you’re in the shower? [provoking awkward silence]” Random audience member at the Comedy Central show.
Carlotta from Parma, Italy, was so proud of her origins that she was the very first fresher through the doors to the Sports Hall, sporting a fantastic Media-pink toga, che bella! Our gobs were smacked by this Mediterranean beauty’s enthusiasm. Only a true Italian could pull off a toga with such style.
Congratulations to all of our Fresher of the Night winners. You made our week!
“No, I don’t want it that long, I want a slutty toga!” ‘Willie Milkins’ whilst having her toga put together by Jess the FWEM.
“Cotswold is the best, we go hard every night” And we love you for it James. “The sexiest animal? A lion, because they love the bush!” This Cotswolder really thought that question through.
Not only was she wearing a hot pink toga, her muscles rivalled Madonna
on my wall, so I’m OK!” Relieved Cotswold fresher. Fresher: Oh my god, someone’s written **** on me. MintyFresh: That says CTV Fresher: What? No it doesn’t. C...T...Oh shit. “It’s so cold my nipples are like the Eiffel Tower” Great chat from a Northern Quantock Fresher. “Eastwood have so much shanter.” Crew member John coaches his Westwood freshers.
MintyFresh: What’s your favourite Disney Film? Tom: Terminator
“You’re northern? Really? Do you want me to make you some gravy?” Only if it’s accompanied by chips and cheese please fresher.
