HUMAN VS CHIMP

No, not the title of a new reality cage-fighting show where man is pitted against monkey. This is the premise of a study by a Japanese university suggesting “young chimpanzees have a better memory than human adults”. Good on them. Whilst we act like we’re the big boys and girls on this planet, we do, […]

STUDENT SPORTING COMMUNITY BEWARE

Dirk Kuyt was the fifth Liverpool player to be burgled in less than 18 months. Each time the players were away on footballing duty or on holiday. Members of the student sporting community beware; it can only be a matter of time before these lowlifes get bored of fast cars, gold jewellery and priceless memorabilia. […]

PRIMARK: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR

Now I am ‘Primarni’ all the way, but even us die hard fans have to admit that wearing the same flaming gold dress that three other girls in the queue at the taxi rank have on has run its course! Trying to disguise your red handbag that is being held by almost everyone in Wetherspoons […]

Living in a household of girls for the third year in a row now, I have encountered in my time many species of that beast we know as man. There is of course, the Pretty Faced but Pretty Stupid, the guy whose beautiful face is forever ruined by the permanent sound effect that echoes through […]

SHALL WE GET A DOG?

I miss my dog. I’m sure many of you feel the same. There’s something about the unconditional love of a mutt that no amount of sex, drugs and computer games can replace. Fuck cats, they have no purpose. I’m happy to attract the resentment of pussy lovers the world over because I’m not scared […]

SU’s SHOULD ALWAYS REMAIN SOVEREIGN

The Student Union of a University in a sense epitomizes the transition for someone from being a silly teenager to a responsible adult. For the first time students are able to have a say in important issues, and take responsibility for making entertaining nights and other things. With its democratic policy of allowing students to […]
