The best and the worst of the competitors’ band names for BoB 2009.
On Friday night two of my dreams will be coming true: I will be both Hermione Granger and a Zombie.
The Yorker gives you the rundown of what's Hot and what's Not in Freshers' Fortnight.
Perhaps I was a little hasty with the National Express damnation last time. Turns out they’re not bad at all. They’re still navy (hot!) and basically no worse than GNER. Infact, the service seems to be better, and wireless internet is free – a nice little bonus there. I have to admit that even the website has grown on me (although I still type www.gner.com and wait to be redirected) but hey, a girl can change her mind.
Absolutely worthwhile. From a cynical point of view, it looks quite nice on your CV, but think of the warm glow of satisfaction you’ll get from knowing you’ve made a difference. A few hours a week is often all it takes – register with the interactive careers service for opportunities, check out York Student Community Action website, or have a wander into York; almost every charity shop is desperate for volunteers.
Clearly taking some action and fighting the lazy student stereotype is the way to go this week. The Yorker is constantly looking for new people to get involved, so if you’re interested in writing, or are a whiz with computers, get in touch! Email editor@theyorker.co.uk to find out more. Joining the fray; so hot right now.
Does anyone outside of the YUSU clique even care? So she hit a guy (who by the sounds of his personal anti-Grace vendetta probably deserved it) once. Is he crippled? Rendered disabled? Seriously hurt? Unable to continue with his life? Didn’t think so. Taylor’s ego might have been bruised, but I sincerely doubt that Grace’s actual ability to do her job has been affected. Playground argument and she’s sincerely apologised – now can people please chill out and pipe down?

“In the future”, states the ftr website, “people will travel in a very different way”. Apparently this means the system will get progressively worse, and the fares progressively higher. £2.90 for a return? Ridiculous, and especially upsetting when I found this out, since I had my £2.50 all counted out in exact change. What are these extra pennies actually paying for anyway? The onboard magazine? Not hot.
These unsightly over-waistband bulges I simply cannot fathom. How does it happen? Offenders – don’t you own a mirror? How difficult can it possibly be to buy the right size jeans? If your legs look better in the smaller size skinnys, for goodness sake wear a longer shirt; the only muffin tops anyone wants to see come from Greggs.
Why are you railing against muffin tops in January?
Well in York, muffin tops, like tiny skirts, seem to be on show pretty much all year round.
You've gotta love the North! You should see Newcastle...
I completely agree with everything - a great blog. especially the muffin tops... why why why why why why why?
Although now i do end up with the Divine Comedy stuck in my head for hours when i travel. Good old National Express, when your life's in a mess, it'll make you smile.
Muffin tops hardly topical though - I think everyone's known they've always been shit. The problem is caused by girls putting on weight at uni and continuing to swear blind they're a size or 2 smaller. Wake up, admit you're bigger and buy something that makes you look good!
