Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11What's BAWM?
though lots of other ideas did come to mind.
Probably better to presume since Davy is the Swimmie man from the north who posts their meetings, and remembering that the swimmies are anti-war, and stuff, that it is that.
Though as you can guess probably other sharp minds are thinking up acronym interpretations right now.
the college authorities only allow recognised societies book rooms. I presume it was booked by SWSS. Be careful when advertising the meeting! Remember in colleges the rooms are booked for college use!
Davy, use your head, be careful when booking rooms and advertising!
Just to clarify your comment phi.Did you mean that you also have a sharp mind or did you mean other ,sharper minds than your own?
.
It's 'bomb' written phonetically as the Nordies would pronounce it. Great sense of humour up north, and they love their bawms.
(DISCALAIMER - THIS IS A JOKE)
College lefty I know that,but cheers for advice, although I presume those that booked the room should have been aware of that also. Orla BAWM stands for Belfast Anti War Movement of which I am also a member.
thats funny, it really is.
SWSS is a recognised society at QUB. However this is a political attempt to stop an anti-war meeting. The Students Union is now run by QUB management. Several excuses for not allowing the meeting to go ahead were used - eg 'controversial' meetings have to get the nod from the exec - even though NUS, USI and QUB exec have all affiliated to anti-war coalitions. In the end management said the union would be shut.
At the USI congress an anti war motion proposed by UCDSU and seconded by WITSU was not taken. The rightwingers in TCD and DIT rallied the right so that the motion would not be taken.
ah I meant other people with their sharp minds.
People like:
college lefty : Anonymous : Badman :prankster : Irony is dead : correction
and of course you Mr Semantic.
(and of course Davy): and all those unknown sharp minds who either didn't want to comment or at the last minute thought not to comment.
