Don't forget lads, the crystal maze is on tonight at 9pm channel 4. Stephen Merchant is going to be a bald headed Richard O'Brien.
Oh shit I didn't know Crystal Maze was coming back, that show was the shit.
One off sadly, for stand up to cancer.
I seriously don't get some club djs. I decided to go to a different club with my mates the other night and the dj played 5 arctic monkeys songs in a row.
Fuck that shit, I wanna make finger guns and shout "OIIII" at a nasty bassline and not be surrounded by people singing r u mine.

Pick your clubs and pick your nights wisely.
I'm kinda thankful that almost all of the clubs here have a predictable lineup every week. Even if the alternative night at the club I enjoy the most (basically operated by the local SU, so it's cheap af and i get in free as alumni) starts off with some rock and punk goodies, then devolves into Limp Bizkit and Hollywood Undead for top-tier cheese.

My favourite parts of nights out are when everyone is singing along to a classic tune, but 5 in a row is excessive
Just moved down to Brighton. Anyone got any tips on places to go, things to do etc?

Definitely check out The Lanes when you get a chance, although it's mostly overpriced junk now it's still a cool place to explore.
the fuck is this shit
ive been complaining about not getting any work to do (you know, the thing where when you're working you want to stop but when you aren't for too long you feel idle)
the tutor for my war in europe (1815-2015) seminar tells us to look online for the reading
no fucking reading to do
then, at 8pm tonight he puts up a 260 page book and a 35 page article on the reading
my seminar is tomorrow at 1pm
probably going to do my best to read it though because I was hit with the killer combo of hangover + appalling cold which kept me in bed for almost all of today and now I won't be able to sleep until like 3am

ehhhhh
i fucking love the crystal maze but feel this one was a bit naff.
I find stephen merchant a bit of a hit & a miss sometimes, some stuff he says is hilarious ( eg. "mumsy is just a woman we found in the bins " / "you wanting dinner? the usual? white star?" ) but a lot fell quite flat. Also holy shit there was absolutely no chemistry between those celebrities, felt constantly awkward

That shit gets pulled with me fairly often, its ridiculous and especially in third year when you're expected to balance a shit ton of reading with assignments
Anyone watch HyperNormalisation on iplayer? It's pretty bananas

They have some nice roundabouts.
[QUOTE=Doozle;51215739]Anyone watch HyperNormalisation on iplayer? It's pretty bananas[/QUOTE]
think i saw a trailer for it which was posted by Vice
highly ironic thinking about it, a short film that challenges our thinking about today's age of information and mass media being distributed by rupert murdoch's "edgy alternative millenial" news outlet on a platform (facebook) which is the kind of thing hypernormalisation is talking about

Bingo bingo bingo
Finished watching it, I enjoyed it. I'm now listening to Burial
I should probably do some work now

It's simple you drive in, then you get to the middle island, and then drive in circles for hours till the police escorts you down the road you need.
Just finished watching the first series of Utopia
such an amazing and traumatic show, Im mentally disturbed now.
having a bit of a pickle lads
did anyone ever watch saturday morning kids shows ~15 years ago? I swear to god one of them used to have a segment called "sacrifice your friends" where two families would do a quiz or whatever, the one that failed sacrificed a member of their family. One episode was weird in which they basically bondaged people onto these tables and dropped wet teabags from a pipe onto their face. Pretty sure there was another with mushy peas.
The one that shook me the most was some "Chokey" inspired portaloo that had smoke coming out of it, the loser family would sacrifice a member to the chokey, to which they would then be propelled over the BBC studios building. Terrifying shit.
Also remember something about a segment where people would risk putting their prized possesions on a conveyer belt with a saw at the end, and they'd have to complete a wire loop game in order to win a prize / save their posession.
I swear this isn't an acid dream or something; is this ringing bells with anyone?

I sort of remember the last thing you described. Was it CITV or CBBC?

you know, voting for this guy sounds like voting for trump
it could be funny for like 10 minutes as everyone freaks out but then you realise he's a complete dickhead and you're stuck

tbh SU officers mean fuck all even if they think they're very important and make wild claims leading up to the elections, you inevitably then hear nothing from them for the rest of the year as the unelected full time employees who actually have a handle on what is possible carry on running the joint.

I remember one year Sheffield had a vote on banning the sale of plastic bottles.
Wild times man.
