When I first heard and saw Discothčque a few weeks ago, I metephorically slapped my forehead and gasped "what have they done?", in shock at the sight of a thirtysomething rock band dancing like Lady Miss Kier to Erasure style pop. This album wants you to like it,
According to Cosmopolitan magazine "Imperial College is Britain’s ideal courting campus" with 71.4% males.

A generally good performance from IC cross-country, enhanced by the hot pants worn by the King’s College women, was marred by the retirement of Gaffer at the start of the second lap. His pink dress was too uncomfortable. Yellow-arse, love-life now intact and Flasher, enjoyed a pre-race drink at
This week’s sports pages see a welcome contribution from the chess and bridge clubs. Perhaps this will encourage more of the "alternative" sports clubs to write material as well. This weekend sees the swordsmen going for national BUSA glory, and the football firsts and fourths furthering their
I wouldn’t be surprised if The Diggers were a musical offshoot of callers to The Samaritans. The lyrics are full of laments about happy times, now long gone. They moan about their lives going nowhere, and that nobody loves them. It’s as if they are suffering from a
