-This caused considerable consternation and much chasing of people in the estates department to try and ascertain who was responsible for the project. Eventually in week 9 of the autumn term, 2006, all remaining equipment was removed from the back cupboard in Linguistics and dumped temporarily in the station (where it was not best recieved!). Assured that the building would be flat by the time that we cam back from Christmas the cables were left free and marked to be pulled out of the structure before it disappeared. There was therefore some surprise when on returning the building looked much the same. It still looked like this several weeks later, and so with [[Battle of the Bands]] and [[Elections|YUSU Election Nights]] approaching, a decision was made to devise a temporary arrangement that did not require any equipment in LTC but joined up the cable ends to provide the necessary connectivity.
