9 | Student Advice

Living with your mates, what could be better?

But it can very easily start to feel crowded

and claustrophobic

here’s some tips to keep it a happy home…

1.The kitchen…The hot-house for tension and rows, keeping it clean and doing

your share is so important, don’t just say ‘I’ll do it later…’ There’s nothing worse

than looking at someone’s leftover mouldy kebab, and for god’s sake NO

stealing food!

2.Noise… We all love our music loud, but sometimes not everyone in your house is

up for a party, especially not your neighbours. Cardiff council can take action

against any complaints made due to excessive noise anytime during the day or

night…so keep it down!

3.Fancy a bit? Don’t sleep with your housemate, however much of a good idea it

may seem at the time, it’s a recipe for disaster! Ask yourself do you really want a

live- in boyfriend/ girlfriend? Chances are this wont end well.

4.The annoying one…Don’t let them get to you, just don’t live with them next year.

Ninety percent of the time its not personal, its just the way they are; if they really

start to grate then don't go crazy and bring the house down. Try having a calm and

polite word...and sort it out like adults…the odd empty beer can left out is not worth

a row.

5.Do stuff…Don’t take each other for granted, remember you’re friends not just

housemates. Earn some brownie points and make everyone a feast, or organise a

day trip. Just making someone else a cup of tea is a sure guarantee for a happy

housemate.

6.Banter…Laughter is infectious, fun and aids a washboard stomach, but the line of

the joker is easily crossed. The ultimate prankster is hard to live with, and at what

point does it turn into bullying? The odd loosening of the ketchup bottle top or “I

thought you’d have clothes on in the shower” can eventually be gotten over...but

flicking the fuse on the last episode of Lost? Just too far.


PRoBLEMS?

10 | Problem Feature

Horny Lad

“My housemate is

unbelievable, he keeps

bringing girls back after nights out and

then bragging about it the next day,

telling us all the messy details. I’m

not interested and it’s so rude. I think

sometimes he even makes it up, saying

he’s stayed at a random girl’s flat when

he’s just slept over a mate’s house!

How can I shut him up!?”

Amy Lear

Exam Stress

“I’m finding it so hard to

keep on top of my work!

The essays and exams

are building up, so is

the social life, and I also

have a part- time job!

I can’t do it all and I feel sick with

stress! AHHH I need your help!”

Jacob Tork

STD ME

“I’ve had unprotected sex and

I think I’m riddled. The girl was

cute looking and seemed pretty

innocent, so I took the risk and

thought it we all be fine. I just

feel so free when I’m bare- back!

Now I’m itchier than a crotch full of crabs!”

Anon

A mixed bag of problems to solve this month, but I do like

a juicy challenge! There’s nothing I can’t solve;

always here to help!

Love always, your Alternative Agony Aunt, Miss T.

Unfortunately he has ‘Wannabe Lad’ syndrome. He’s

probably got a huge ego and a tiny mister, and this is a

classic case. The only known cure is maturity, which may

take this guy a few years to out grow…either that or he is

secretly in the closet. Best thing you can do is ignore

him or cook him a nice meal.

I think you’ve learned your lesson? Pop yourself down to

the GUM clinic and bring your friend with you…maybe you

can make a second date out of it.

Cardiff GUM clinic

Cardiff Royal Infirmary

Walk-in: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday morning:

Opening at 8:15am

Take a deep breath! All will be fine. It sounds like you’re

letting everything stack up against you and panicking

about all the things that you have to do. Get a calendar

and note everything you have to do on each particular

day. Concentrate on what needs doing today, and don’t

stress about tomorrow or you’ll drive yourself nuts! Don’t

forget to sleep.

WE LIKE!

JAMES FRANCO Actor,

Artist, Poet, Author and

currently studying for two degrees, is there any

thing this guy can’t lend his hand to?

THE FLICKS Too many good film releases out at the

moment, I’ll be setting up home in the local Odeon.

CONVERSE Set for a return and will be the only

pump to be seen in this summer, but no jazzy

colours just good classic colours and keep them

clean and ditch the deck shoe.

AWARDS SEASON Just because we love to have a

good old bitch session over who’s with who, who

wore what and who had a wardrobe

malfunction (and who actually won).

ADELE One word to describe her new album ‘21’;

absolutely AMAZING (ok that’s two). This girl’s got

soul and the dirtiest laugh in Essex.

JUST NO.

KERRY KATONA Bless you for trying to clean up

your life for the sake of your kids but we much

preferred you when you were a dribbling mess

TV CHOICE 1000 Channels...and counting. Too

much choice and still nothing to watch, you’ll find

me in the cinema

JEANS TUCKED IN BOOTS Guys come on, some of

you must have some originality in you, try some-

thing different and break the mould.

CURVES Well, they didn’t last long did they? It’s the

sexier, healthier choice but now everyone’s getting

rid via detox, diet or an exercise splurge. Make your

mind up.

LADS Thank you E4 for enlightening the British

public; proving a ‘lad’ is just a tool. Perhaps now

we’ll see the return of the gentleman.

Spring is upon us and its time to put

aside your duffle coat and biker boots

and sport your brogues and Barbours.

If you’ve already become acquainted

with the delights of Hobo’s and Looby-

Loo’s in Castle Arcade and more than

exhausted Albany road’s treasure chest

of charity shops, then fear not; there’s

more vintage flights of fancy waiting for

you...

YOUR WARDROBE

into the...

latest TRENDS.

fashion.The TRASH ladies are loving this season’s hottest

high-street trend, VARSITY RULES; because this

one’s for the blokes too. It’s not often the fashion gods

conjure up a unisex, wearable trend so its exciting times

this Spring (more excuses to steal your partner’s stuff).

Inspiration taken from our friends at Harvard and Yale…

this season sees the return of the original preppy masters Polo Ralph Lauren and Tommy

Hilfiger (Jack Wills your time is up). Think low- slung jeans, mid –length skirts for the girls,

baseball jackets, and coloured chinos for the guys, don’t forget a chunky cardi and the old-

school classic Converse with a chunky sock. Keep it light, fun but remember to keep it clean!

Boys; take note! Colour palette- neutral, navy, camel, red, blue & white.

London Fashion Weak, like my

My mum always makes a pot of boiling

water with her pot of tea, she doesn't like it

too strong. Her brewing method seems to be

normal until, cup of tea made, half is

unkindly poured straight into the sink. The

rest is then topped up with boiling water

and voila! You have some seriously

weak tea.

Now, if London Fashion Week were to be a

cup of tea, you'd expect a slick, masterfully

designed and super tasty beverage. It isn't.

I imagined there would be swarms of

excited fashion journalists, bloggers and

industry insiders buzzing around Somerset

House. Clambering to the catwalks in

search of the latest and greatest talent in

the industry and creating a fantastic

atmosphere as they go. What you really get

is just a gaggle of tag-alongs, interested in

free Tesco finest champagne and boring you

with horribly pretentious conversation. As

for the tea, well, it's cold and half drunk.

After leaving you are left with the stale taste

of branding in your mouth. Canon, MAC,

Vitamin Water - the logos are everywhere

around the main show space and in many of

the exhibitions. People are handing out free

testers or bottles of REVIVE and RENEW

flavoured water. It really detracts from the

spectacle - you wouldn't get this in Paris. On

the outside, it seems like a tacky shoppping-

centre fashion show; not the sort of stage

you'd imagine how British fashion should be

showcased to the world. Fashion seems to

be an afterthought for the organisers, who

allow you to leave with this mindset. Of

course some of the collections have been

fantastic, Chrisopher Kane, Charlie le Mindu

and Burberry to name but a few, all in

however, It's all fur coat and no knickers.

It seems to come as no surprise that LFW is

being squeezed out of the fashion calendar,

with New York FW changing its dates to

clash with the London event. Whether this is

to do with the unsuccessful acquisition of

LFW by IMG, a marketing company with

rights to NY, Paris and Milan fashion weeks

amongst others, is disputed. Certainly

though, London should get searching for

some (PG) tips.

This recipe is from food junkie and all round

genius @emmadotcom. The trick is in the name,

with naan bread you basically have a ready-

made pizza base and then it’s up to you how

crazy you want to go with the toppings, but if you

want to keep it to a fiver then follow this recipe:

•Preheat the oven to 180

•For the base, slap on a good amount of anytomato based sauce (Lloyd Grossman pastasauces work a treat) followed by a good dollopof green pesto.

•On top of that add caramelised onions andsundried tomatoes, then top with grated cheddar.

•Pop it in the oven for 20mins and enjoy!

Half a naan bread pizza portion will fill you up!

Don’t forget that most packets of naan bread

come in twos, you can feed four for a fiver, re-

sult!

The Celtic Dragons netball team has soared to

an impressive start this season. Under the

command of new head coach Melissa

Hyndman, they have humbled the likes of

Glasgow Wildcats (55-32) and Team

Northumbria (60-24).The Dragons, who play at

the Welsh Institute of Sport, have also been

drawing large crowds this season. Playing in

the newly branded Fiat Superleague, they are

the only team in the country playing top-flight

netball.Traditionally, the Dragons' team sheet

has read like a who's who of UWIC Netball

past and present, and this year is no different

- with a few notable exceptions. The squad has

been bolstered by the presence of some

shrewd foreign signings.

First was centre Kyra Neal, the Western

Australian who linked up with the Dragons last

season, bringing with her a typically-Aussie

competitive spirit and uncompromising work

ethic. This season, Neal has been joined by a

fellow Antipodean in Brooke Williams, a

Samoan international signed from New

Zealand's Western Flyers. Goal attack Lottysha

'Timmy' Cato is also fast becoming a crowd

favourite. Cato cuts an impressive figure: the

Grenadian stands nearly 6'7" and scores goals

like they're going out of fashion (albeit with a

relaxed Caribbean attitude). Their presence

complements a team that is comprised of

some of Welsh netball's finest talent. The up-

coming North Walian Sophie Morgan has

joined the likes of goal attack Cara Lea

Moseley and centre Suzy Drane , as well as

stalwart Sara Hale (goal defence) in the side.

The diminutive centre from Flintshire plays

with a smile on her face, and with the way the

Dragons are playing this season, he has every

right to.
