The Hell Hole | A Smothering Relationship

Posted 2:13pm Sunday 9th July 2017 by Jessica Thompson Carr

I’ve been having strange dreams lately. When I moved into my flat I didn’t think twice about the trap door in my ceiling. It looked like it was for an attic, small and square, and it was sealed closed with paint. It didn’t have a handle. The semester proceeded normally. The Read more...

Southern Gold Is the True Pride of the South

Posted 1:58pm Sunday 9th July 2017 by Swilliam Shakesbeer

Choo, Choo! It’s time to hop back on the steam train! After being gone from my beloved North Dunedin for two excruciating weeks, the only way to welcome my liver back to Dunners is with an entire tray of Southern Gold. It’s good old-fashioned fun that doesn’t require any of the Read more...

Inventions Out of Time | Fire

Posted 2:20pm Sunday 9th July 2017 by Charlie O’Mannin

Rating: 1.5/5 Don’t believe the hype.   It is far too hot, and doesn’t come with a warning. When I attempted to pick it up, it caused nasty pain in my hand. Later, when examining a manual (that I had to download illegally), I learnt that you experience this painful Read more...

Posted 2:25pm Sunday 9th July 2017 by Student Support

I’ve come back to my flat and thought I’d check for mould. What I found is so disgusting I can hardly bring myself to go to bed at night. My pillow is fully mouldy, the wall where my bed was against it is mouldy, and the sheets are mouldy where they were against the wall. I left my good Read more...

Ethel & Hyde | Issue 13

Posted 1:43pm Sunday 28th May 2017 by Student Support

Dear Ethel and Hyde I can see my breath in my room and all my clothes and bedding feel damp. I am ‘not allowed’ to use a heater because we all agreed to that at the start of the year. I’ve changed my mind, but don’t want to cause a fight. Please Read more...

Wild Buck is The Most Scullable Beer in The Country

Posted 1:40pm Sunday 28th May 2017 by Swilliam Shakesbeer

Wild Buck is beer from the good old days, when men were men, a spade was a spade, and it was possible to buy property in Auckland. There’s a genuine argument to be made that Wild Buck was specifically designed to be the most scullable beer in the country.  Understanding the brewing Read more...
