Clubs in Oxford
Brookes students like their routine, not just the routine of slipping it on before you slip it in, or pork scratchings with your snakebite but also where we go out, and when. We don’t know how it happened, but at some point during enrollment, we got brainwashed into thinking that how quickly you can down your drink is reactionary to the length of the smoking queue and that the Baywatch theme tune is the only signal you need to take all your clothes off in public.

What the Fuck Happened to Tea-Time TV?
Guillaume Rater ©2010 So you’ve started uni. Gone are the days of rushing home after school to watch such tea-time treats as Sweet Valley High, Saved by the Bell, Round The Twist. The View hates to be the ones to tell you but – tea-time is no more (partly because all the time is tea-time for a student). But this momentous change in daily rituals has us thinking. What ever happened to the people on those programmes that you grew up with, who you saw every day,... Read More

How to Retrive a Horrendous Night
We’ve had more than our fair share of nights that have run significantly below par due to bad company and bad vibes. Our formula is tried and tested (repeatedly); our mantra of ‘the PIG’ has consistently saved the day. So it was Halloween, the one night of the year we can dress like total sluts and not be judged, but not the tartlets! First on our agenda was a house party: full of the worst kind of skanky, hard faced, purebred bitches. They obviously missed the... Read More
Bridging the Gap…Introducing the Tartlets
OK. Firstly we ought to introduce ourselves. We are two students who are a little bit like partners in crime. We pride ourselves on our drunken antics and suspicious morals. We are young, sometimes a little floozy and describe ourselves as “The Tartlets” individually known as Eddy & Patsy.
