  • The Constant Disappointment

    The second issue of The Constant Disappointment is here. Read it, it might make your pathetic lives that little bit better.

    I don't mean that. You're all lovely.

    To get you up to speed, I have pretentiously labelled it a satirical and subversive student magazine, because that is what I wanted it to be. Still, hopefully it has something for everyone.

    Please have a look:

    Issue 2

    NB: For those outside the small circle that is Nottingham University, I should point out:

    Cock-Soc is a student run 'cocktail society' which in actualy fact has nothing to do with cocktails, but instead organises cheap nights out at shitty nightclubs where drinking is encouraged and seemingly required to have a good time
    LGBT - is the Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Transgender society
    Craig Cox - is a student union executive who recently was the subject of controversy for holding a sign saying 'bring back slavery' at a training event. He has denied it was in any way racist.
    Rahs - are 'rich arseholes' - a clique of students who many perceive to be suer rich and unashamedly upper-middle class.

    The rest should be self evident.

    Comments are appreciated.
    I'm so lonely.

  • Life Outside Big Brother

    Greetings Earthlings,

    Having recently realised there is a world outside of Big Brother, I have started writing about it.

    This is an unofficial student magazine I create, publish and distribute (unsuccessfully) at my university, The University Of Nottingham. A lot of it is quite specific to the uni culture but don't be put off, there's something for everyone.

    I say everyone - you probably wouldn't like it. Yes, you.

    This is the first issue, from the start of November. To help you on your way, I should point out that Impact is the official student magazine, whose triteness inspired me to create my own publication. Coc-Soc is a society, 'cocktail society' which in fact has nothing to do with cocktails - it's just a society that arranges club nights and encourages everyone to get absolutely pissed. Initiation ceremonies were highlighted because there is often controversy over the way sport teams inaugerate new members in alcohol fuelled frenzies of debauchery.

    Quotability is a feature from the official mag, in which they congratualte themselves on funny things they've said in the magazine offices in the past month. I thought I would celebrate things they've actually said in the magazine, fo I think that is actually funnier.

    Issue 01
