Hustlings

I just heard that its hustlings on Monday and Tuesday. As far as I can work out this is where the candidates in the union's sabbatical elections hustle the electorate out their hard earned money (it is too, those damn student loan forms are way too complicated). I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I think they plan to stand up in front of everyone looking really dopey. They have friends in the crowd who then offer odds on which one will fall over first from sheer stupidity. People bet alot of money, but of course the candidates were faking it all along and aren't totally useless so they don't fall over, meaning no one wins any money from the bets. It's the oldest trick in the book. So if you go along to the union on Monday and Tuesday and see a load of people on stage looking foolish, don't worry about who's going to run the union, they're only pretending.
