Recently it has been nigh on impossible to get myself a coffee without first having to navigate through a raging sea of puns, before nipping to the nearest toilet cubicle to dislodge canvassing leaflets that have successfully perforated my skull.
I know it is hard to forget, but whether you like them or not, the Students’ Union Officer Elections are an important part of University of Sheffield life. Only, in my case, it is not.
How well do you know your friends? Have you ever known someone who has been convicted of a crime? Odds are, the majority of readers will be acquainted with a convict in some shape or form.
