Posted 3:03pm Sunday 26th May 2013 by Phoebe Harrop

Do you like interactive touch screens? Free stuff? Old stuff? Artistically-lit stuff? Then look no further than Toitū Otago Settlers Museum, handily located next to other such valuable “Get Out of the Ghetto” locations as the Railway Station and the Farmers’ Market. Toitū Read more...

ODT Watch | Issue 13

Posted 3:03pm Sunday 26th May 2013 by Jess Cole

Thus begins the saga of Otago citizen Cha’nelle Smith (e-mail: sexiihunii4u@hotmail.com). Delighted at the prospect of nabbing a bargain at Dunedin’s fashion Mecca (maybe even that stylish wee number from Pagani?), she and her best gal-pals made the trip in from South D. “A sale is just what Read more...

Lez Feminables | Issue 13

Posted 3:03pm Sunday 26th May 2013 by Glitter Grrl

Previously, I’ve covered asking people if they’re gay, with the conclusion that it’s not your business. But what happens when it suddenly is? How am I supposed to react when someone asks me if I’m gay? I’m not, but I don’t want to come off as a homophobe when I deny it! You’re right, a Read more...

Daily Grind | Issue 13

Posted 3:03pm Sunday 26th May 2013 by M and G

Rating: 2/5 Coffee Cups M and G decided it was necessary when writing a coffee column to visit the institution that is Starbucks, KFC’s “classy” cousin. Dunedin’s branch of this chain of creamy American coffee is located on the corner of George and St Andrews Streets, a prime location for a Read more...

Love Is Blind | Issue 13

YOLO BoySigning up to the Critic blind date and committing to a half-marathon all in one week, all in the name of YOLO. I didn’t know which would be worse. After a few Coronas for the nerves, off to Angus I went. A few friends bunkered down in the bar to spy and provide emotional support should my Read more...

Diatribe | Free and Fair?

Posted 3:03pm Sunday 26th May 2013 by Matt Anderson

So, this whole thing started with a friend asking a question. As benign as it may have been, it led to possibly one of the most expletive-filled rants of my life. Given all the attention Fair Trade has been getting on campus a friend with little (read: no) background in business posed this gem: Read more...

Love Is Blind | Issue 12

Posted 1:24pm Sunday 19th May 2013 by Lovebirds

ClarkSo the day had arrived and, much to my surprise, my nerves were at ease, only to kick in later on. I’m not a drinker, so I had to find other ways to calm my nerves. I got ready and dressed up nice. My best friend walked me, and we discussed how I would introduce myself and if I should go in Read more...

Hi Dr. Nick | Issue 12

Posted 1:24pm Sunday 19th May 2013 by Dr. Nick

Hi everybody! There’s a column that I meant to churn out during our spate of sexual sicknesses, but I’ve been sidetracked by other topics (poo is funny, don’t listen to housewives). This week I was determined to finish off the column about horses and thrush when I saw the ODT article “Therapy Read more...

The More Things Change | Issue 12

Posted 1:24pm Sunday 19th May 2013 by Jessica Bromell

This is a week of memorable stories, some perhaps more so than others. May 24, 1830: “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” one of probably very few nursery rhymes based on a true story, was first published. Inspired by an incident where a schoolgirl, actually called Mary, took her pet lamb to school with Read more...

Science, Bitches! | Issue 12

Posted 1:24pm Sunday 19th May 2013 by Elsie Jacobson

FUCK! Shit shit shit. Ow. Just stubbed my toe. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty clumsy and this happens to me on a regular basis. Swearing is an instinctive reaction to pain, but did you know that it can actually lessen the pain you feel? It’s true – Stephen Fry told me so – and it’s known as Read more...
