17^th November, TWITs meet BOW, St Steven’s Tavern. The Bow Group kindly invited us along to hear John Howell MP, recently elected Member of Parliament for Henley, speak and take some pretty testing questions from the floor; ‘what’s your favourite biscuit?’. Afterwards, the TWITs worked the room and after some serious socialising, impressive quaffing and as voices became louder and gesticulations more flamboyant, it was decided it was time to hit the next venue. The mighty pub crawl began, kick started with the TWITs Around the World Sambuca Challenge. We also managed to squeeze in a spot of sightseeing; Trafalgar Square where we befriended a lovely bunch of UCL raving Tories. After more pubbing with our new acquaintances we headed for the Sports Bar for a bit of disco fever.  It was here that our president, Mr Johnson, sustained a minor injury and subsequently found out that the club wasn’t really ‘into’ first aid. Nevertheless, Mr Johnson, never one to leave a pumping party, carried on. I realised at around 3am that the call for fish and chips was well over due and so the hunt began. We found a Chinese ‘restaurant’, pretty good substitute and all 8 remaining hardcore, young guns piled in and put their orders in. It later transpired that in my eagerness to satisfy my hunger I had ordered three meals. It was an impressive spread. Luckily the other chaps helped alleviate the situation. After the meal, 6 remained. We enjoyed a leisurely stroll to Regent’s Park, little more sightseeing and then it was farewell.

Yet another fantabulous evening. It was great to meet the Bow group and the other strays we picked up along the way… We look forward to future events together!! Photos to follow…

Something about this classic track brings to mind the spirit of TWITS sojourns into the late night dens of Central London recently… or maybe I’m just romanticising our adventures…

In the meantime, checkout my post on UAL’s musical alumni over at wearelesscommon.com including this fabulous contraption that plays tunes from them – huzzah!

Impressed with our wordsmithing?

In other news, our logo competition is being finalized, with some illustrious editing from el presidente Mr Johnson – check out the drafts here

And I was pleased to lend a hand at the GenEVA canvassing session at CCHQ (Conservative Party HQ) last night for the delightful Christopher Pincher, all round legend. This was followed by some responsible drinking with the CF chaps and chappetes, a swift sojourn to the Red Lion and a slightly less well judged final round at the International where I got into a fight heated debate about the merits of getting involved in the NUS with ex-CF Chairman and now PPC (see some of us do end up in real politics!) Paul Bristow, who though clearly flawed in this one point, is otherwise awesome.

12th November, Wacabonkers – a STONKING success! Immense fun had by all. Buy one get one free on drinks was met with cheer, hear, hear, as was the quizmaster’s tasteful adidas tracksuit. Soaps was the theme of the evening and the Cameronation Street team was feeling VERY confident. We really raised the bar with our score of ‘0′ in the quiz so you must all come along so that we can really excel next time! We were finalists in the filthy self portrait and rain dancing rounds so we can still hold our heads high. Other highlights of the evening: our ballroom dancing domination of the dance floor/the official TWITs dance which evolved and became bigger and better as the night went on/magical microphone (TWITs freestyling)/rancid garlic shots/Fish & Chips, Soho to Victoria, hunt/other key moments which are probably best forgotten.

Come down and join us for the TWITS first official night out!

The Port, Lash, and Banter this week will be at Wacabonkers. Details here

4th November, The Groucho Club. A delightful evening was enjoyed at this Conservative Arts and Creative Industries network evening. The wine flowed and we happily munched on yummy canapes but more importantly we chat-chat-chatted our way through a whole host of interesting people whether more Tory or creatively inclined! We really put the TWITs out there and the response was great - being students of the prestigious UAL, we are after all, the perfect melange…Creative Tories!!
