Muppet of the week nominations – too many to remember
Little Choppy Lawson – nominated for general Kasbah antics; after sending a pint at the front of Kasbah, Choppy decides to toss his pint cup high in the air before serving it into a Coventry bint with sheer ferocity. Witnesses included some UWMCC members and the big bouncer standing directly behind the unsuspecting Chopster. Upon turning round, Choppy decides to crouch into a ball in an unsuccessful attempt to evade the bouncer through the crowd resulting in an early exit for the little man.
Timmo – also nominated for an incident relating to Kasbah whoppery. After a heavy pres at Ballo’s, the lads decided enough was enough and Ubers were ordered. Sitting in the front of the car and making shit chat to Abdul, Ballo catches a nasty whiff from behind and turns to see a struggling Timmo, complete with a pool of chunder on his shoulder. Quickly cottoning on, Choppy tells Tim not to let the driver see. Tim, in a moment of complete muppetry, decides to wipe off the sick onto the floor of the car and peg it as soon as he is let out resulting in a hefty £45 charge the next day. Fool.
Ballo – continuing to not sort his shit out, Ballo forgot to apply for student finance for this academic year and now he is fucked.
Randall – after a heavy sports ball last year, Randall and Tasty are roaming around the venue searching for cricket boys. With Basshunter playing in the background, Randall sees a disabled member of the University roll past in a wheelchair. He turns to Tasty, and completely out of time of the music quotes Ed Sheeran’s Thinking out Loud, chanting “When your legs don’t work like they used to before” slightly too loudly. Twat.
Tasty (a few days before circle) – “You know what lads, I haven’t done anything bad over summer to warrant any muppet of the week nominations”
Tasty – receives 5 separate nominations, each worthy of the MOTW dress individually
Tasty – has now got some sort of agenda against Choppy, throwing a large wooden table at him after a Kasbah night out and nailing him. Prior to this, Tasty has been greeted by Choppy at the urinals. Eager to chat to his mate, an overexcited Tasty turns his whole body to talk to Chops, not realising that he is still pissing and completely covering Choppy in the process.
Tasty – also nominated for calling Nish ‘Ghandi’ repeatedly on a night out during their respective summer interns.
Finally – After being asked what circle looks like by an unsuspecting Mrs Temby, Tasty decides to show his mum a picture taken by Dan Lewis during a gamble last year. Unbeknown to Tasty, he is standing in the middle of the picture of circle with his bollocks out, completely horrifying his mum in the process. See ya.
