Chronicles of Circle 4 – Released 23rd February… stay tuned
Excitement – palpable
Reading week circle – known for its general looseness
Circle – upstairs only
Tickets – in low supply, selling out a week in advance
2nd years – whoppers, not many managing to get hold of tickets
Gemes – deciding to skip circle to watch Arsenal get humped by Bayern
Rhys – happily accepting the spare ticket
Chattle – taking an injury pre-circle football
Chattle – walking style akin to a man with a pole shoved up his arse
Varsity – pre circle meal destination for Chattle, Turner and Tasty
Chattle – taking 15 minutes to walk there from Tarkett
Tasty – making an error by ordering the 3 dish plank… an inordinate amount of food turning up
Millman – the topic of discussion
Chattle – “so what happened to Millman then?”
Turner – “He got Glandular Fever which weakened his immune system to the point when he then contracted Hepatitis”
Tasty – pissing himself that the Hepatitis rumour has actually been believed by certain clubmen
Chattle – “Wait what? He hasn’t got Hepatitis?! I asked him how the Hepatitis was going the other day”
Millman – obviously going along with the lie like a good bloke
PCP – small as expected
Chattle – eventually stumbling into T bar after taking at least 9 years to traverse the distance from Varsity to the SU
Murphy – managing to snatch a last minute ticket, arriving not a moment too soon
Dan – running late as per, heard to be giving his girlfriend specific cooking instructions for his food
Dan – “Breaded cod on the second shelf, potatoes in the cupboard on the left hand side”
Dinner – ready for Dan upon arrival
Gamble pot – a Tasty special (with Turner and Merriman)
Cheeky – missing another circle
Cheeky – losing some cheekiness with every missed circle
Aneesh – strategically missing his bday circle
Tasty – having to leave the final few gambles with Bex and Larkins whilst he and table bitch Turner leave to set up circle
Shit clubs – trying to invade the cricket area
UWMCC – not having it
Guj – keen to send another table from circle
Tasty – keeping a 5-table circle
J$ and Kinners – looking to constantly encroach on circle
Bex – discovering some leftover midget gems in his pocket
GENTLEMEN – raucous
Mixed Hockey – wetters, scared of the sheer volume of the UWMCC
Circle – not able to start in the traditional way seeing as the only nominee for MOTW was not present yet
Guesses – none needed to work out who it is
New game – 20+1
Gamble – Tasty wacks his chops this term
Tasty – regretting leaving the gamble pot in reach of Bex and Larks
Tasty – not wanting to wack 5 pints, tells a little white lie and claims a double
White lie – believed by the majority of circle
20+1 – quick to reach the end of the first round
Tasty – outlawing table wacking considering the small size of circle
New rule – 1-5 and 16 to 20 are reversed
Guj – confidently looking at Larkins before fucking up
Guj – loosing 2 further times in quick succession
Larks – also not having the best day considering he was a social sec who has previously had to follow these rules
New rule – 6 to 15 are all 0
Tim – the rulemaker but heavily influenced by dictator Bexson
Zeros – catching many people out… especially Guj
Guj – the new Will O’Farrell for the night
New rule – 1 is wack
Murphy – losing
Murphy – unbearable as usual, being made to wack in silence
Numerous clubmen – happy to get the 0’s correct, only to be fucked by the 1 rule
Meanwhile – in anticipation of Dan Lewis’s imminent arrival, a Dangerchair had been found and placed in the only available space at circle
Dan – happy as Larry, strolling into circle 30 minutes late
Dan – places his purple
Dan – sits down
Dan – is struck by the DANGERCHAIR!!!!
Tune – to the tune of Dangermouse, lyrics as follows:
“Dangerchair, Dangerchair, does whatever a Dangerchair does. Can you sit, on Dangerchair? No you can’t, it’s Dangerchair. Look out… where is the Dangerchair?”
Dan – accepts the mockery that is associated with falling prey to the chair
MOTW – its time
Dan Lewis – nominated by Tasty for the infamous events of weeks ago. After suffering a heavy exec circle (not quite Turner levels), Dan is one of the few clubmen to make it to Neon. After meeting up with Sarah, Dan continues to sesh until around 2am when it’s time to go home. As he leaves the club, Dan takes a little stumble and is laughed at by his mates, including Sarah. As a man of high levels of pride, Dan is not a fan of this mockery and in reaction, feels the need to throw something. However, unluckily for Sarah, a lack of nearby chairs means she ends up being the throwing victim… into the road. Realising what he had just done, Dan does what any man would do… and runs away. He is found by Rooty 5 minutes later cowering in Vialli’s. Him and Rooty then proceed to walk to a random alleyway where they have left their coats under a parked car to avoid parking charges. Wife beating… check. Cheapskate… check. I think Dan must definitely be a Stella drinker.
Murphy – not willing to let the single nomination for Dan to happen
Dan Lewis – nominated by Murphy for Valentine’s day antics. Murphy is a hard working man and has a night-time job working at Cote Brasserie. On the fateful day of February 14th, whom should he see but Dan and Sarah walk into his place of work. To say that Dan has been in the doghouse is an understatement and so Cote Brasserie seems a good place to make up for it. However, being the gentleman that he is, rather than order a bottle of wine for the table for him and Sarah to sesh on, he instead makes her last her entire meal on the single complementary glass of prosecco. If I didn’t know he was Welsh, I’d say he’s Northern.
Dan – obviously winning, being given a triple for the combination of MOTW, late to circle and missing 1s/2s in order to go on a date
Dan – getting through his cold pints
Larkins – attempting to re-slip the Dangerchair back under Dan whilst he triples
Dan – sadly noticing as he finishes his pints… a real shame

Back to Back – Tim and his bromance (Randall) have to go back to back in circle and are asked 3 questions. For each question they must drink if they think they are more likely to. If they agree, then the circle wacks. If they disagree then they wack
Question 1 – “Who is more likely to shag Joe’s housemate Poppy?”
Joe/Tim – both too nice and not drinking, therefore leading to them both wacking
Question 2 – “Who is better in bed?”
Joe/Tim – Once again too nice and therefore both wacking for neither drinking
Tim – having just seen off a lot of pints and spirit in a short amount of time, sees himself to the bogs

New game – Dangerchair!!!
Gamble – Guj – Magic roundabout
Guj – trying to get Disco Dave involved in the magic
Dave – sadly not partaking
Magic roundabout – sending purple everywhere
Dangerchair – a brainchild of El Presidente Bexson after hearing Tasty and Randall’s chant of Dangerchair
Game – involves everyone standing and closing their eyes whilst Tasty swaps someones chair with the Dangerchair. Upon opening their eyes, everyone must chant the Dangerchair song and when the line ‘where is the Dangerchair?’ is reached, everyone must sit down with force. The victim must wack but then gets to place the next chair
Round 1 – Tasty sneaking the chair into Roach’s position
