COME ON PEOPLE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE WORD

Hi again,

I posted before looking for suggestions of how to improve the Union's mag. The Word. All I got was some bloke telling me there had only been 2 editions in term time, and not one helpful comment.

You can do better than this!

*If you think the Word sucks, tell me why.

If you have ideas for content, let me know.

If you don't think we should even bother, then tell me!

Would you prefer a bi-termly yearbook style mag? Would you like a weekly newsheet for Societies?

A prize for the most helpful suggestion!*

THE FUTURE OF THE WORD

Dear Anyone.

I edit the Word, which after the introduction of a dedicated sub-editorial team and group of writers has improved from the quality of previous years' editions.

Still there is an ongoing review of this magazine; its format, content, regularity, everything!

I would like to hear your comments; tell me what you want from a Union Mag, do we need one? What should be in it? What would make people pick it up? How often should it come out, and what format should it be in?

All comments most welcome, a prize for the most useful

The jokes are back, and this time they're 'poor'

Ok so I didn't live up to my promise of providing a joke a day, but here is one…

A poor man and woman sat down in their living room and the man said, ''I'm going down to the pub for a bit, so put your coat on.''
The woman replied, ''Ok honey, why? Are you taking me with you?''

The man replied, ''No, I'm turning the heat off.''

Penguins

This one is for you Kat…

A man was driving down the road with twenty penguins in the back seat. The police stop him and say that he can't drive around with the penguins in the car and should take them to the zoo. The man agrees and drives off. The next day the same man is driving down the road with twenty penguins in the back and again. He is stopped by the same police officer who says, "Hey! I though I told you to take those to the zoo." The man replies "I did. Today I'm taking them to the movies."

They aren't going to get any better I'm afraid

crisps

I was working in an psychiatric hospital as a waiter, and a conversation with one of the inmates went as follows:

Do you have any crisps?

Yes, what flavour would you like Sir?

Helicopter, please

I'm sorry, we only have plane

(True story)

After 4 in a row I am now running out of jokes, but I will make sure I put a new one up each day. If you take the time to learn these jokes for the next 100 days, then you will be able to start your own christmas cracker business. I will of course be taking a 30% cut of the profits

What the hell?

Still being new to all this I have a question. How the hell do I find out the 'latest entries' or 'hot topics'? Have these just completely disappeared? What is the best way to get the most out of viewing blogs? Surely you don't just look at your friends' entries?

I expect I am missing something quite obvious
