Posted 4:38am Monday 10th October 2011

The Otago Corrections Facility at Milburn, otherwise known as the Milton Hilton (so named for its underfloor heating, en suites, flashy gymnasium, basketball court and full-size rugby field), is the closest prison to Dunedin city, housing up to 485 low to medium security men. There’s Read more...

I need ten dollars, dollars, dollars is what I need

Posted 5:42am Monday 19th September 2011

I didn’t get the nickname “Feed me” for nothing. My favourite part of school was lunchtime, closely followed by morning tea. For me, and many other such kindred spirits, life at university has proved no different: life revolves around food, glorious food. So what to do when you’re stuck at campus Read more...

Glee: The 3D Concert Movie

Posted 11:16pm Monday 22nd August 2011

Directed by Kevin Tancharoen, (5/5). Glee: The 3D Concert Movie was possibly the best 90 minutes of my life. As its somewhat unimaginative title suggests, the movie was not actually a feature-length Glee episode (glepisode?), but was in fact a 3D film version of the Glee stage show which Read more...

Phoebe Harrop talks to renowned sex therapist and author of Sex Life Dr. Pamela Stephenson-Connolly about, well, sex. Dr. Pamela Stephenson-Connolly is a serious MILF. There’s the long and lustrous platinum blonde hair, the come hither gaze, that hard-to-place accent… Oh and Read more...

Back in the golden days

Posted 4:36am Wednesday 6th July 2011

It’s fair to say that Otago students don’t always receive the most favourable media coverage. While some of it is well-deserved, some of it is clearly a little hyperbolic. Phoebe Harrop considers the New Zealand media’s particular pleasure in outing the latest controversial exploits of students, and Read more...

Clean’n’Green Costa Rica – a True Tropical Paradise?

Posted 1:07am Friday 1st July 2011

Lucky Phoebe Harrop spent her summer in Costa Rica, and looked Costa Rica’s own environmentally friendly image. Bill is the man. He can only be described as a real-life Costa Rican Rafiki, down to his Jamaican-esque lilt, missing-a-few-teeth grin, Dairy Milk chocolate skin and the wisdom that Read more...

God Save the Queen

Posted 6:52am Thursday 26th May 2011

The Royal Wedding was a smashing occasion; a time for the females of this country to live out (vicariously) their girlhood princess dreams; a time to gobble scones with jam and cream; a time to sip tea with one’s little finger extended. It was a time to giggle at Eugenie’s choice of hat and to Read more...
