Wash Your F*#%ing Hands!

By Gazz • Feb 6th, 2009 • Category: Articles

Men’s bathrooms are not the most pleasant of places one can visit, but a growing trend which has become more of a personal pet peeve has taken my attention recently. The number of gentlemen who visit the little boys’ room to “drain the main vein”, then leave before washing their hands, is astounding.
A quick Google [...]



The Best A Man Can Get

By Gazz • Jan 14th, 2009 • Category: Articles, Pictures

Men are simple beings; we have simple needs and desires which are incredibly easy to satisfy. There is a general consensus* over the top 4 activities in which a gentleman of modern society can engage, but the actual order of preference is subject to debate. I shall discuss further



Pissing Contest on Trains

This is what happened on the Cardiff-Swindon train a few days before Christmas:



Of Christmas

By Jamie • Dec 12th, 2008 • Category: Articles

So, it’s that time of year: chestnuts are roasting on merry gentleman and people are rocking around the jingle bells. But what is Christmas?
Christmas is wrongly perceived to be the celebration of a Jew - born to a virgin, in a stable - during a very busy tourist season (modern scholars believe mid-June), about 2000 [...]



Game Review: Fifa 2009

By James • Dec 11th, 2008 • Category: Articles

Being a student who enjoys procrastinating more than, well, other people, I thought I would review a few things to give me something to do and you procrastinating freeloaders, something to read. I will review this game while still paying attention to the critical aspects of the lecture which include Block Index, Speed up, [...]



Morning Radio: Review 1 - BBC Radio 1

By Gazz • Dec 9th, 2008 • Category: Articles

Only the more well-off amongst us can afford a clock radio for our nightstands to wake us up in the morning. I know at least one member of The All Nighter Staff uses a small dog with a wristwatch to awaken them from their slumber (hit and miss, but better than nothing).
However, I have realised [...]



How Jamie Pulls All Nighters

By Jamie • Dec 8th, 2008 • Category: Articles

Well… I’ve done it again. For what I think is the 6th time in the past 8 weeks, I have been up all night programming, designing and generally working on my final year project. Not that this wasn’t all fun…
So, let’s see.
23:48 - I start work.
01:57 - About two hours later. I have written 4,000 [...]



The Opposite of Violence

By Renyi • Dec 3rd, 2008 • Category: Articles

I know my job description falls primarily under the categories of Editor and Proofreader, but I do occasionally turn my hand to writing, for better or for worse. Anyway, in the period that shall historically be known as the ‘Where are all the articles?’ month, I thought this anecdote might amuse people while we wait [...]



Jame Goes Healthy: The Toyota Call

By Jamie • Nov 19th, 2008 • Category: Articles

We are into Day Three. I have accidentally fallen asleep twice already, and am still quite tired. So far, the regime is not working!
And then this morning, I got a phone call that brightened my day.
Picture the scene: I am lying in bed watching Friends when ‘London Bridge’ starts playing. Knowing that my phone is [...]



Jamie Goes Healthy: Day 1

By Jamie • Nov 18th, 2008 • Category: Articles

I’m tired….very, very tired. Polyphasic sleep sucks. I have had approximately 5 hours’ sleep in the last 30 hours, and that includes the part when I accidentally feel asleep this afternoon.
The diet is going well - sort of. I had to resort to some cheap carbs at 3 a.m. this morning due to there being [...]
