Committee
Meet your SUDSS committee... See their freshers video here.
President
Will Crank
will@sudss.org
What do you think you’re playing at?
SUDSS president.
Why Huddersfield?
Despite the wide range of options, I thought somewhere which lent itself well to cow related jokes was perfect for me.
If the committee was an egg, would you say you’re the albumen or the shell?
The shell; it’s my job to hold everything together. Why wasn’t yolk an option?
If we were to imagine that SUDSS President wasn’t a full time job, how would you spend your free time?
Avenging Apollonia’s legend, I’m ashamed I know that…erm maybe revising, possibly working, and definitely heading for a night out!
Lick your lips, hands on hips! Did you enjoy that?
No
When Obama won the US Presidential Election, which emotion governed your tears?
Depends which scale of emotions you are using; the Plutchik, Parrot or Lojban? Really Quizmaster, some detail wouldn’t go a miss!
Which knee do you keep the lasers in?
That’d be telling. You’ll have to speak to security
Vice President
Johnny Pearson
johnny@sudss.org
...
Secretary
Toni Lemm
toni@sudss.org
Hey! Secretary! What’s that all about?
I organise Will’s life; make sure he’s on time to clinics; I book his patients in......
Do you think you’re frequently mollified?
Yes?
Now, you’ve taken the minutes; have you ever taken hours?
Well, SUDSS meetings are known to go on (and on...)
Do you have magical powers?
That would be telling.....
Now, the Secretary bird is renowned for trampling snakes to death, so why did the Nazis adopt the eagle in all their symbolism?
…………?
Are my legs hairier than yours?
Absolutely, definitely.
Treasurer
Nick Anscomb
nick@sudss.org
Can you spell “embezzlement”? I’m joking! Or am I……?
Is it “f-r-a-u-d”?
What exactly is boo-hockey?
Boo-hockey involves competitors finding a suitable location within the confines of a designated area in which to conceal themselves before jumping out on unsuspecting members of the public, shouting “boo” whilst holding a hockey stick over their head. I believe there is a desire to set up a SUDSS boo-hockey team to take to the next sports day.
I’ve heard many permutations on your surname. Do you actually own a comb for your nether-regions?
I would like to take this opportunity to neither confirm nor deny that I do indeed possess a comb for such areas since I feel any disclosure could undermine my integrity.
How has the credit-crunch affected your self-esteem?
For me, and I’m no doubt certain it must be the case for many other students, it has been highly disappointing to see falling interest rates taking large chunks out of our savings. What am I meant to do with my student loan now?!
Would you dance for the Czar, should he ask it of you?
Well, it would have to depend on which one.
We know about purse strings, what about your heart strings? Tort and svelte like a cuckold, or flabby and unreasonable like cheese?
Is cheese really flabby and unreasonable? Anyway, I would have to say they’re most definitely a combination of the two, so a kind of cheesy cuckold…or cuckoldy cheese.
Publicity Sec
Andy Jones
andy@sudss.org
What are you doing for the committee?
Designing, making and printing all the posters and tickets and programmes for events and socials – with the aid of photoshop!
Can I trust you?
Of course; if you can’t trust a dentist, who can you trust!
Dentistry; how did that happen?
Teeth needed cleaning and the public couldn’t do it themselves.
Were you raised above or below sea level?
At sea level…on the Severn estuary.
Do you have any serious vendettas?
Nothing serious… I just dislike most people.
I’m looking at you. Why?
Cause I just wet myself in the street.
Social Sec
Dan Jankun
dan@sudss.org
How do you do it?
Usually it starts with a brilliant idea and snowballs into an even better one.
And what exactly do you do?
I make all your wildest dreams come true.
I’ve seen your legs. I haven’t seen Santa’s. What do you reckon? Flamingo
legs?
I have seen them, he’s half reindeer.
Have you tried the fish?
Whose?
If Jesus was like: “Hey Dan! We’ve got some down-time; what would you like to do?” – How would you respond?
Does he like Pro Evo?
How many Michael Caine-themed socials can we expect this year?
He’s coming to at least one when I spoke to him last. (For those who don’t know,
he is my uncle!)
Sports Sec
Sarah-Ann Pitaluga
sarah-ann@sudss.org
What is a sports sec??
I am entitled to bully the SUDSS members to playing a sport of some kind. Hehe. Apart from that I organise the intramural netball league and also arrange the BDSA and Northern Sports days. We play for fun however we will be looking to withstand our win in the league last year!!! Bring it on!!!
You’re strong; how does this help the committee?
My muscles help me score all those wonderful goals! No but honestly I am willing to share and listen to ideas within the committee and put these ideas into effect.
What do you do when you’re not looking in peoples mouths??
I enjoy socialising with friends and fellow dentists and am always up for a good laugh. I play netball and go gym-ing when I am bored!
Let’s pretend you’re a mermaid. Would you eat the fish?
Very irrelevant question. However, if I had to eat the fish in order to survive I would. Depends what fish though and how it was cooked. Guess it wouldn’t be cooked though. So, not sure. I’d have to be in the situation to decide. Lol
Ok, we’re back in the mouth; what tooth are you sitting on?
Definitely would be a lower right 6. Has a good stable foundation with 7 and 5 beside me to keep me company.
Sports Sec
Ash Anand
ash@sudss.org
You’re on the committee. WHY?!
Er… I like to help people.
Hey! Nice shirt! Can I have it?
No. Get your own.
Any pastimes?
Constantly listening to music, trying to keep fit and watching Lost because of Evangeline Lilly.
If someone takes a shot at Dan (social sec), do you take the bullet?
I like Dan. He’s a nice guy. But not that nice.
What plans do you have for SUDSS in 2009-10?
From my point of view, I’d like to aim for making one of the sports that we offer, a regular event for any Dental student that is interested. Apart from that, the committee as a whole will strive to come up with new and improved ideas to help make 2009-10 a year to remember!
I’m a croquet man. Are you a man, also?
If you really want to play croquet and others are interested, I’ll do my best to set something up. Do not expect me to take you seriously ever again though.
Ball Sec
Francine Fletcher
francine@sudss.org
Hey Francine! What’s your secret?
That’s for me to know and you to find out!
Now, Laura’s your partner in crime, but is she your partner in rhyme?
Only after a good few bottles of wine.
Do you think you could ‘have’ David Cameron?
Why, Alex! I’m a lady and David Cameron is a married man!!
What qualities do you have that make you any good at this ball nonsense?
Well, both myself, and my partner in crime Miss Stenhouse have experience of organising and attending numerous balls so I think all that experience helps to makes us ideal candidates.
I once saw a man who just punched a dog’s face right off. Is that something we might see at the ball this year?
Well, the fine details are still being kept top secret, but hey, if people want to see men punching dog’s faces off then I’m sure something can be arranged!
Is dog-face-punching something you enjoy? If not, what pastimes do you enjoy?
Can’t say dog face punching is something I particularly enjoy, especially as I have two dogs myself. I think the RSPCA would be after me!
Ball Sec
Laura Stenhouse
laura@sudss.org
I was talking to Bertrand Russell and he was like: “Well, Stenhouse… She's cool, but she's got a Y chromosome”. How would you respond to that?
I would be offended by him questioning my gender and then explain to him some simple A-level biology genetics! Philosophise that, Bertrand!
Do you think having a Y chromosome makes a good ball secretary?
I think I'm a good ball secretary and, I'll say it again, I don't have a Y chromosome...so no! Francine..I'm not so sure about though....
Now, both you and I know that balls suck, but if there were no longer any balls left to suck, how would you spend your time?
That would be a sad, sad day! Apart from terrorising the poor patients at CCDH, I would probably be found in bar one! Love the union nights out!
Picture the scene; you're Chairman Mao, and I'm Mark Twain! Fight to the death - who wins?
Chairman who???? Is Mark Twain Shania's husband???
Are you going to lead a revolution within the netball team? Should I tip-off Sarah-Ann so she can prepare herself to kill you?
Ah well, now the secrets out! Sarah-Ann doesn't know what I've been putting in her coffee for the past few weeks.... SUDSS netball forever!!!
Revue Sec
Alex Chadha
alex@sudss.org
Are you sure your title doesn’t contain a spelling mistake?
I’m not sure what that means.
HOW DARE YOU?!
I don’t really understand what’s going on.
I’m sorry about that outburst. YOU MAKE ME SICK!!! Why?
I sleep in the same bed as you. And we shower together. These are all good reasons. Frankly, I’m a little jealous that you’ve never made me sick.
The revue sold out last year. Are you scared?
I will make the Annual Dental Revue the ‘Elisabeth’ to my ‘Josef’. I will have my way with it for long enough but, in the end, my love for it will be my undoing.
And what’s this I hear about a pantomime?
Thank you. (accepts cup of saltpetre from a young magyar) I’m basing it on the Book of Revelations. It will be, as the Jew-hunter would say, “furchtbar”. That notwithstanding, I can see your elbows. And now I’m smiling.
My, my. You’re looking attractive. What’s your secret?
It’s all in the hairline. Mine can dance. Furthermore, I consider your continued existence to be a damned insult, you blackguard.
Is it true you can’t count past 7?
My mother always told me that the sound of the hymen being penetrated is identical to that of seven Arabic seamstresses speaking in tongues. It is said that to hear it is to momentarily transcend space-time, and in that one, fickle moment it is possible to throw off the constraints of this human frivolity and vomit forth an immutable sense of one’s eternal self into the ether. With this in mind, I have no need for any number beyond seven. With this in mind, I will live forever.
Web Designer
Sam Atkinson
sam@sudss.org
What’s happening with the website in 2009-10?
Well.... There were big plans but I can never resist a trip to the pub, so time to look after it is very limited!
Dr. Whawell & Prof. Atkinson in a battle of wits; who wins?
Atkinson all the way. Got to stick with the family...
If the glove fits, what colour is it?
It depends on the situation. Generally it's maroon with yellow polka dots.
Do you enjoy baking?
Oh yes.
How about international porn collaboration?
Apparently that's what I'm known for, but I'm not sure I'm up to full international standard yet.
I’m a little shorter than you. Is that your fault?
Well, it's certainly not my fault. Personally, I'd blame it on your smoking. They do say it stunts your growth...
H&T Rep
Dave
mda07dp@shef.ac.uk
Where do you come from?
The right side of the railway tracks in Bedale, North Yorkshire. Before that a
remote dairy farm in Somerset.
What do you do for the committee?
Hygiene and Therapy rep
In what way are you an asset?
Give me something to do and I'll bloody well do it.
In what way are you a liabilty?
Daydreaming in meetings. Likely to be distracted by a nice looking boulder.
What do you do when you're not staring in people's mouths?
Climb. Badly. Also slacklining and a bit of photography.
3rd Year Rep
Ally Day
mdb07ad@shef.ac.uk
Where do you come from?
Hailing from the land of farmers, I’m a true Lincolnshire “Yellow-belly”.
What do you do for the committee?
Help put together a fun-filled, action-packed SUDSS calendar. Inform 3rd years
of all the SUDSS latest news and events by standing at the front of the lecture
hall with my clipboard, putting on my biggest smile, and best newsreader voice!
In what way are you an asset?
I’m really enthusiastic, love planning and organizing, and will always go that
extra step to ensure we all have lots of fun, and a truly fabulous time.
In what way are you a liabilty?
Please don’t ask me to make a decision on the spot. I’m rubbish; far too
analytical for my own good.
What do you do when you're not staring in people's mouths?
Once I’ve given my flatmates the orders to clean up their mess in the kitchen,
I
love to cook, and am some what of an experimental chef (It doesn’t always go to
plan!) Getting lost driving round Sheffield seems to be a regular occurrence.
Seriously, where on earth is Tesco?
