Valentine's Day - Love Box

Dear residents,

In light of our Valentine's Day Party, held on 10th of February, your creative and romantic abilities are needed! As you might have noticed, the IH Times Love Box has been set up at the pigeon holes near the reception. You will find official love letter templates in that area - it is your job to write a sweet, hopefully not too graphic, Valentines Day letter or poem to a fellow IH resident, either anonymously or not. If you need inspiration, feel free to consult the love letters from past years which are hanging in front of the lift entrances in the lower ground floor.

The best (and worst) letters will be published on the IH blog and on facebook. Of course, you can also win some prizes for having sent the best letter, for having received the best letter, and for the worst of all. So: be romantic, be creative, proclaim your love or whatever feelings you may have - now is the time to put it all in writing and to submit it. The winners will be announced at the Valentine's Day Party so spread the love and get started! Cupid's arrows are waiting to land in your hearts!

See you soon!
The IH Club Committee <3

IH Fresher's Quiz

We recently had our IH fresher's Quiz at the Common Room. Students spent well over 3 hours answering strange general knowledge questions to get awesome prizes, from a bottle of champagne to boxes of chocolates and always handy noodle soups.
Rebecca Black was object of great deal of attention and criticism, with many questions based around her single Friday.

The question that surprised students was: Which is the most employable degree at the moment?
Everyone got the answer wrong, not imagining the correct response was "Dentistry". Apparently, the English are in very bad need of people who can get their smiles white and beautiful as their American counterparts.

First Place and Winners were the group "Why is my poop green?"
The Second Place went to the team "Creamily Erotic, deliciously fluffy goo machine".
And we had a joint third place shared by "Harold Macmillan and the post quiz consensus", along with "Team Ace's Angels".

All of above teams won a bottle of booze (either champagne or Malibu) and a box of nice chocolates.

The losing team, "Violet and friends"got the noodles.

The 'funniest team name' was "We will pay £5 to win the name prize team". They will receive their 5 quid the 28th of Oct at the IH (as the Club ran out of prizes due to our unexpected joint winners in the 3rd place).

Start preparing for the next quiz adventure, IH folk!
