It’s been an eventful day in room ballot land. It’s a majestic place where some refresh like there’s no tomorrow and some just don’t give a … For those with a serious risk of tendinitis from the obsessive browsing here’s a round-up of the ballot so far. First in the batting order was Will Taylor – after a dire “choice” last year of Benet 28 he had the world at his feet aaaaaand he went for N2. Interesting decision *strokes invisible beard*. In previous years other rooms on N have been first choices and the history books say that Q2 was a popular first pick before being thrust into the prize room heavens. But never before have N and 2 been combined into the choice of all choices. And I'm not talking about the Hunger Games. After Will chose, a slew of Old Court choices followed with P staircase being particularly popular. Why do you guys need that toilet so much? Or maybe it’s because there’s a much smaller chance of being caught in your dressing gown on the way to the showers than M? You guys are going to miss the thrill of dashing through the snow to shower (if it ever gets around to snowing). While P staircase was bathing in the glory of being more popular than M staircase, no one was choosing Y. Well Janaka at 6th did but then nada til Jack at 22nd. It’s ok guys, Janaka is a nice guy - he just sends the odd dodgy email as lax captain, nuffin’ more (actually he tried to run me over with his bike once but it’s debatable whether I stepped in front of him, I’ll leave it to the lawyers). Personally I'm surprised by the fact Botolph 24 didn't get snatched up before 39th – ensuite, kitchens, laundry, freshers… What could be better?! Another surprise was the two 3rd years who loved T Street so much, they’re going back again. Though it’s to 8 T Street which hasn't been on the ballot since the refurb, new territory! Not too many hold-ups today, the ballot was generally running half an hour or an hour ahead of time. Fingers crossed no one will hold up the ballot like a certain lengthy-email-writing-ents-officer-who-we-love-really did last year. Though someone was spotted today doing a final perusal of New Court during their turn – let’s keep it moving people! We realise this was meant to be a live blogging thing. But we’re busy people – apologies. Perhaps you can expect more frequent updates tomorrow however I hope this round-up will suffice for today, I've certainly offended enough people for now. Though now all that remains to be asked is – why did Jonathan Bartlett take so long to jump on the ballot band wagon and pick? It's not rocket science! Edit: MWAHAHAHAHA The so called lengthy-email-writing-ents-officer-who-we-love-really has the password!! ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!
