Nowadays, I wouldn’t usually let something like Valentines Day occupy my thoughts for too long. But as a single man, I found myself reflecting on the times when I had been in the thick of Valentines preparations. (more…)
Bedroom Banter Christmas special to come… December 10, 2009
Lets be honest, Adrian and myself have neglected Bedroom Banter since it was first broadcast. To say sorry, we have a Christmas special Podcast coming very soon. (more…)
The Student Union. More than just a building. December 8, 2009
When asking a group of undergraduates the purpose of the Student Union, the answer can sometimes be vague. The place on campus they socialise in? The home to the university’s societies? The literal meaning of the Union of Students is sometimes hidden, and what the staff there actually does, to some, may be a mystery. (more…)

Podcast coming to Student Planet! October 2, 2009
Over the upcoming weeks, I will be joining my good friend Adrian Burgess, on the podcast production of Bedroom Banter. Topical discussion, chit chat and of course some good old banter, with hopefully some strange twists – produced right from our Lincolnshire student house. Watch this space for updates and our first ever podcast!
Alcohol in excess: The more sinister effects? September 29, 2009
I’m quite frankly bored with the topic of binge drinking. It has dominated the news in the recent past and it’s been easy to become blasé towards the matter. Although it has helped create TV shows like “Brighton Beach Patrol” making some highly entertaining TV by filming drunken revelers.. (more…)
Campus: Relationship Command March 25, 2009
Campus really can be another world. I can find myself not leaving the boundaries of the area for several days. It’s a place that in some ways feels lawless – par the quite comical security guards (they have a Laurel and Hardy quality about them). It would be hard to find somewhere else that you can hear everyday noise and bustle at four o’clock in the morning. Maybe Vegas. Lincoln isn’t anything like Las Vegas. (more…)
Domestication: A costly business March 17, 2009
Coming to university has been the first time I’ve moved away from the comforts of home. Domesticating myself has possibly been as much as an educational experience as my course. Before last September, I could cook some noodles and keep myself clean, but apart from that, I can shamelessly say my mum did the rest. (more…)
Do you go for casual sex, or shall I dress up? March 12, 2009
Your university years are the best of your life. I’ve been told that so many times, and now I can see why. Student culture involves squandering the student loan on socialising, drinking, and all round good times. Oh, and there’s also some studying to be done.
Wherever there is lots of alcohol, a mix of the sexes and a freedom of behavior that was probably unacceptable at home, there is bound to be quite a bit of frolicking at university. (more…)
Fire drill, fire scare, caught you in your underwear (at 5AM) March 4, 2009
Being a student, life is pretty sweet. Minimal responsibility, heaps of freedom, 5% off at Somerfield. In fact you’ll find that we are the subjects of envy from many different people. Despite this, students love to whine and moan. No money, too much work, hangovers and especially about the fire alarms. (more…)
