Weir House — Wet House
Weir House — Wet House
Dear Sir,
As a part-time social worker, I always like to practice my analytical power by examing those Interesting letters in your column. In particular, I will try to deduce the intention and the real nature of the various issues raised.
Lately, I notice several letters writing about Weir House, So I could not stop asking myself, "What's the fuss with that place? Shit!" It has been two years now since I first came to VUW and have never come across any complaints about the other three halls of residence, for instance, in Vic House. Why is this so? Why don't they try to admit that Wet House is indeed sick and save valuable space in your column. As simple as that.
My conclusion is that, quite a number of the Wet House residents must have been bribed into working with the chef, the matron, the warden, etc, whoever they are, in an attempt to lure more freshies into the Wet House. (I have just been informed the financial situation of the house is still in bad shape.) If I am not mistaken, they must have been paid by the matron , the Wet Association or the cook to write blindfoldedly in the favour of the Wet House.
Yours faithfully,
James Bond 007.
