You appear to have missed the option for teacup related injuries....

And yes, it still haunts me three years on.

You seemed quite happy to go on them again with a vengeance this year.

Or was that just because you were keen to get married?

Nothing like an in joke to make the Freshers feel included.

While we're doing in-jokes, I'll complain about the lack of gastroenteritis as an option.
