So today is Friday 13th. That shit cray. Today is apparently the day where, if things can go wrong, they will. I personally have taped up all my mirrors, lain flat all my ladders, and tied up all my black cats in a large sack. Yup, nothing bad can happen to me today (unless it involves...

Raise up your oscilloscopes and calibrate your spectrometers in celebration, because today is a great day for physics, and Brian Cox’s twitter account! That’s right, we’ve done it! The pesky particle that inspired the construction of a collosal...
Tesco Trauma Part II
posted by Nathan O'Neill
So I’ve been emailing Tesco a lot, and they don’t really like it. To get an understanding of what’s going on below, I suggest that you first read Part I. I’ll wait for you to get back. You may notice that here, I’ve taken to using a different email address. This...

Craig David is The King. No one has ever, will ever, or could ever even find a way of finding a way to at some point possibly come close to even knowing how they might ever scratch the surface of maybe working out how to match up to the true greatness of Craig David. He is without a...
Driving A Car

Driving a car is no is easy business. I mean, you only have four limbs with which to haul a one ton chunk of metal around the country at 50+ miles per hour, and I don’t know about you, but I’m no Vishnu. Driving is so difficult, in fact, that more than 90% of under...

Internet guru Mark Zuckerberg has today announced an all new layout for his brain-child, the Facebook. Unperturbed by the extraordinary outpouring of apathy and mild discontent following his most recent innovation – the wildly unpopular Facebook TimeLine – Zuckerberg and his team...
Daylight Saving Time...
posted by Nathan O'Neill
I think that, deep down, we all find changing our clocks a particularly unnerving experience. Are we now in the future? Or in the past? Obviously we remember that the clocks ‘spring forward, fall back’, but does that mean we get one more hour in bed or one less? I guess...
Twilight: The Facts
posted by Eoghain Ellis
To coincide with the release of the borderline pornography that was Twilight: Breaking Dawn on DVD earlier this month, I’d like to release my thoughts on the matter. The Twilight franchise disturbs me, to say the least. It keeps me up at night – albeit not in the same way...

Here’s a fun fact for you. Did you know that you can buy extra large Hula Hoops so that adults can continue to have the pleasure of slipping them over their fingers? Anyways, that doesn’t redeem them from what occurred...
Fundraising

If you’ve ever tried to raise money for charity, you’ll be well aware of the difficulties and hardships of doing so. At the moment I’m trying to raise money for a 2,400km bike ride that three friends and I are doing across Vietnam for The Saigon Children’s...
Valentines Day

This may seem a little delayed, but it is far easier to write an article on Valentine’s Day retrospectively. The pangs of loneliness are now starting to fade and the melodramatic amount of alcohol I drank has passed through my system. Couples will have broken up, lonely hearts...

Christmas has passed, New Year’s has come and gone and for many of us the evil spectre of essays is fast threatening your firstborns and disturbing your family seances. What follows is not so much a guide to sending these ethereal beasts back into the underworld, but it should...

In Time

I thought I was going to be late for this film when I went to the cinema, but luckily I made it there just In Time! Or should I say, Just In Timberlake! (No, I shouldn’t. Because that doesn’t make any sense.) Anyway, perhaps it wasn’t lucky that I made it there...
