Let's face it, none of us are going to make it as fighter pilots. Movers, yes. Shakers, yes. Tom Cruise, stick it up your tailpipe.

I have foreseen my own degree's demise. Time of death: First term, second year. Place of death: the lounge, in front of the TV. Cause of death: Centipede. Those of you who pine regularly for the days of Mysterious Cities of Gold and Transformers will no doubt welcome this chance to guiltily enjoy another of youth's lost pastimes. You may remember Centipede as the less-addictive cousin of Chucky Egg or the less good-looking brother of Lemmings, but in true late-nineties style this Atari classic has been re-designed, re-packaged, and re-launched with shiny new 3D graphics and infinitely more varied gameplay....

Spotted a by-line in the papers this week. '"Wildest bar in the world" shut down by authorities'. Oh Christ. A shiver runs through my liver. It's all coming back to me now...

If people knew what you really think, none of them would talk to you again....

Given the ever-decreasing standards in educational circles, cult television which informs as it entertains is the obvious way forward.

Exciting weeks as people seek to escape from the dreaded fifth week blues in more imaginative ways...(check out our review of Fifth Ave to see just why fives can make you so blue). My only source of solace is the knowledge that if I can make it through to the end of term I'll be able to check out the awesome lineup including Seb Fontaine which the promoters of the post-Varsity Rugby/Football Ball have got lined up at no less a venue than the Ministry of Sound in London. Excellent choice...but if Oxford lose, would you really want to make the effort?...
