King Krule on wailing, fake jazz and the power of silence. by Ina Fischer Leaning against the bar, drinking beer and chatting to his mates, he looks like just another teenager with a crowd of eager students and twenty-somethings pushing for a good spot near the stage. Maybe shall goes almost unnoticed while the crowd to the left of him thickens to the point where it’s imposs He takes the stage together with his band and his presence in the room changes.

One could attribute this to the nature of King K bursts of his haunting voice that make it difficult to dance to.

Many people don't actually realise how safe their deposit is. Contrary to popular belief the cash does not go straight into your landlord's back pocket to be spent on a wild night out on West Street. No, it is actually protected by law. According to the Governments Tenancy Deposit landlord's have to adhere to one of three independent government approved schemes with which to hold your deposit. This means that if your deposit is safe and sound and not in your landlord's personal fund. It also means that if anything is broken by you the money can be used by way of payment and if you're really really good and manage not to break anything you will get your cash back at the end of your let.

Impromptu Visits You may be wondering, and rightly so, whether your landlord can just pop in any time he or she wants. After all it is their property and so surely they have every right to do so. Wrong. If your tenancy agreement is an “assured shorthold” (which is the most common type of agreement in student lets, though you should check) you have the right not to be disturbed or harassed at home, even by your landlord. This means that they have to give you notice that they are coming round. That means no impromptu visits whilst you’re having your annual naked house parties... phew.

Down and Out in Sheffield It should never come to this and hopefully it never will for you. However, if for whatever reason (and, believe us, they need reasonably grounds) your landlord decides to evict you then, of course, there is a procedure. Your landlord cannot simply come over and kick you out. I am afraid that's simply not how it works. There have to adhere to the legal framework, which is in place to protect tenants. Landlords are required to give written notice of eviction if they want you to leave.

City Centre It’s always fun to live in the City Centre even though if you settle here you will never ever know where anything else is in Sheffield. Your Sheffield bubble will be a three mile radius but that’s OK, what else could you possibily need that you can’t find in the centre of town? Whether you choose to live near loud, bustling West Street so that you’re never further than two minutes away from someone dressed as a smurf, or in quieter, more laid back Kelham Island there are shops, bars and restaurants everywhere. It’s a great place to live.

Broomhill With Endcliffe Village just up the road, you are never further than six metres away from a student. Broomhill is full of beautiful, big student houses so that you and your ten friends can all live harmoniously together forever.

There are restaurants, pubs, some quirky shops and even with the influx of chains such as Costa, independent cafes still prevail! There are excellent transport links and you will find yourself on the number 52 bus as often as you are in your house.

Broomhall The slightly grittier one of the two ‘Brooms’ in Sheffield, don’t be put off by what everyone says, Broomhall is actually a great place to live. This area has some beautiful properties, perfect for student living. It is a five minute walk away from Ecclesall Road, a five minute walk away from town and a five minute walk away from Sheffield University. If you love walking for five minutes at a time then this is the place for you.

Crooksmoor Crooksmoor is packed with students thanks to its close proximity to Sheffield University and the City Centre.

There are a couple of pubs and restaurants, a Co-op and Beanies which is everyone’s favourite independent fruit and veg shop. This is a great place to live, it’s close enough to walk to town, university and in the summer being close to Crookes Valley Park is perfect for lounging about, eating ice lollies and ‘revising’.

Crookes Further away from both the university’s and from town, Crookes has a real neighbourhood feel about it. It has loads of student housing, shops, restaurants and pubs as well as being close to lots of green space, one of the best being Bole Hill. Crookes is easily reachable by bus and doesn’t take longer than fifteen minutes to reach town. It has a great community feel about it and is definitely one of the nicest student areas in Sheffield.

Sheffield Housing: Know Your City

Money Matters Most private landlords will ask for a deposit prior to you moving in to your shiny new house. This will most likely be the equivalent of a month’s rent (if it's drastically more than this, you should probably be questioning why).

Moving House?

Know Your Rights

Moving out of student accommodation into a private let for the first time can, for some, be comparable to coming out of a white padded room straight into the jungle, rife with tigers, lions and, of course, ligers. If you're not careful you could get your hand or head bitten off. In student accommodation, which is generally run by the university itself, you will find ultimate security; all inclusive bills and on hand help. However, when moving into your first private student let it is important to know your rights.

Wretch 32

Jermaine Scott Sinclair AKA Wretch 32 burst into the mainstream from the underground Grime scene almost overnight with the massive hit Traktor and he’s been creating top ten records ever since. We talk to the man himself about his career highlights, fame and chatting to fans on Twitter.

L: Is there a moment you could pick from your past year where you thought to yourself, ‘I’ve made it’?

W: This year there’s been a few, like there was the proms this Saturday just gone performing to a sold out crowd with a 90 piece orchestra and a conductor was definitely one of the most memorable nights of my career; after I performed every track it was like, such an atmosphere and I just can’t describe it.

L: You were making music for a long time before you went mainstream. It’s been quite a transition to fame, how have you found it?

W: It’s something that I feel like I’ll never get used to. It’s funny though because working at getting in this position for like 10 years and when you get here it’s like ‘wow’ so now I’m here I don’t want to have a day or a night off, I don’t want to sleep. When it took 10 years of work to get here, I’ve got to work to stay here. It’s about always trying to remain focused like I haven’t allowed anything to deter me on my path or on my journey.

L: Is that a bit what your new song is about, like where you say that you’re ‘still the man but now you’re clearer’ is that how you feel?

W: yeah, it’s that point where you realise you know we all go through this panicking stage in life ‘oh I’ve never had enough this’ or ‘I’ve never had enough time’ or ‘I’ve never done this’. Slow down for a second and just look at what you do have and appreciate it, and that’s me just taking a step back and just appreciating what I do have and realising that in actual fact I am doing OK. We all are.

L: You’re on Twitter, do you find it a good way to connect with your fans?

W: Yeah and I also use it to express myself. I really want people to understand my personality like, everybody knows I love Eastenders because of Twitter and if you just listen to my records you won’t hear that . It’s nice that when Eastenders comes on I get reminders, people are like ‘yo Wretch, don’t forget, it’s on at 8’. I really like that because if you just listen to art you might just take someone too seriously but we all like to have a little joke now and then so I really want them to know that.

L: What’s next for Wretch 32? Would you ever try your hand at movies or TV? W: This year depending on when the album’s coming out, I might go back to drama school. You know it’s funny because it just kind of goes hand in hand and that’s because as a musician you’re an entertainer so when it comes about that you could still entertain someone but in a different field you know a lot of people will still be open for that kind of option. When I was in school I really wanted to act and for whatever reason it never happened but you know you can always go back to that.

You know sometimes you just want to start challenging your mind in a different way.

Amanda Fucking Palmer on Fucking Everything How to describe Amanda Palmer?

Some would say feminist. She would probably retort that she’s an equalist, rather than a feminist. She is a musician, there’s no doubt about that.

A talented musician, in my opinion, though other opinions differ on that one. She’s the kind of woman who gets naked on stage in London to make a point to the Daily Mail, the kind of woman who writes an open letter to Sinead O’Connor defending Miley Cyrus’ decision to pose naked on a giant ball and the kind of woman who started the “re-belly-on” to promote positive body images in women. In short she’s the kind of woman who knows her own mind.

It has been quite a year for the singersongwriter having raised £1.2 million for her new album through crowd funding, delivered a successful TED talk on the topic and already completed a tour with the Grand Theft Orchestra. The Student Magazine chatted to the woman herself about touring, TED and married life.

How does it feel to be coming back to the UK?

Why do you always miss out Sheffield in your tours?

It feels wonderful. Touring the UK is always fantastic because the audiences are so fucking crazy. That makes up for the weather.

Because you have two “F”s in your city name. A blind Puerto Rican psychic once told me never, ever to tour in any double-f cities, because I might get “attacked by a strange child”.

As a woman of many a wise word is there any thoughts you’d like to leave us with?

Your TED talk was extremely interesting. Is that something you’ve always planned on doing? How did that come about?

I think we all deserve to be happy and to do what you want, and I think we should all be kind to each other and respect each other.

I’ve been a fan of TED for a long, long time and I put my hat in the ring a few years ago when I met Thomas Dolby, who I knew was involved in the music part of TED. After the Kickstarter and all the controversy it raised, they invited me to speak and play, and I’m still really grateful for the opportunity.

You have been married for just over two years now to British sci-fi author Neil Gaiman. How is married life?

It’s unlike any other kind of relationship I’ve ever experimented with. My husband’s a really nice guy. He’s got a book coming out that I’m incredibly proud of him for writing.

Your music career began with the Dresden Dolls. Will the band tour again?

I would assume so. We love playing together.

Chvrches at Leadmill 12/10/13 Walking into The Leadmill on Saturday night, you could tell straight away that it was a sold out gig. In the past couple of years since forming, Scottish synth pop band Chvrches have exploded onto the electronic music scene. Made up of Ian Cook, Martin Doherty and front woman Lauren Mayberry, the trio have become very popular, very quickly being named number five on the BBC’s Sound of 2013 list. Leadmill was packed with people, and despite the expectedly high number of denim jackets and Doc Martins in attendance, among the Red Stripe drinkers were actually loads of people of all ages which goes to show good music appeals to everybody.

We caught the end of warm up act Thumpers, who despite not being particularly memorable did a good job of warming up the crowd with their up tempo alt-pop. When Chvrches came on, the crowd went crazy, it was a great atmosphere and they immediately had everybody dancing. They played all the songs that people wanted to hear from their new album and finished on their hit The Mother we Share, which has featured on everything from Radio One to Strictly Come Dancing montages.

However, the highlight for me was definitely their cover of Whitney Houston’s It’s not Right but it’s Okay which sounded amazing with their heavy, synth take on it.

This was only the third date on their massive tour which is taking in the UK, Europe and America.

Lauren pointed out that because of the horrible weather and their pretty horrendous hangovers they’d not had high hopes for Sheffield but that actually it had been an amazing night. I’m glad we exceeded your expectations Chvrches, you were pretty good too. page #18

Things that Live Inside You Want to know what animals are living inside you? No, not your spirit animal silly, actual animals! That's right. There are things that live inside you other than your vital organs and all that chewing gum you've accidentally swallowed. Don't let your squeamishness get in the way of your morbid curiosity, you know you want to read about all the little creatures who call your body home but you may never be able to stop itching. You (and all your tiny body dwelling friends) have been warned.

'Tyrant King' Leech Otherwise known as the T-Rex, this is truly the terrifying dinosaur of the bloodsucking world. Discovered in the Peruvian Amazon, this vampiric creature can grow up to three inches long and has large, sharp teeth (all the better to bite you with...) The T-Rex uses it's teeth to claw into the orifices of mammals. Any of the orifices, it isn't fussy. Although it isn't usually deadly, the leech can stay in a person's body for weeks, potentially causing choking. So next time you're swimming in a river in Peru, make sure you keep an eye out, but also keep it safely closed.

Squid Sperm Settle down kids, I'm going to tell you a story. There was once an old lady from far, far away (South Korea), a long long, long time ago (in 2012) who went out for dinner. 'Yum yum', she was thinking as she bit into a mouthful of tentacles, intestines and squid brains, but this delicious taste explosion was soon ruined by what she describes as a 'pricking and foreign body sensation', this kiddies was the feeling of squid sperm impregnating her tongue and cheeks with little squid babies. Twelve of them to be exact, said the doctor who extracted them out of her mouth skin.

Maggots You know when sometimes people mistake your head for an apple and take a bite out of it and then they're all like 'ewww there's a maggot in this'! Exactly, it's the worst. Well that's what happens when Botfly Larva are implanted into your head by a mosquito.

They make a little pit in your head the size of a penny and make a little nest out of all your skin and blood. But don't worry, Doctors will be able to slice it out of your scalp, and you'll be good as new, except maybe a little bit lonely without your maggot friends.

page #19

Ask yourself what you have eaten today. If the answer is anything other than a slice of wholemeal then chances are you’re not actually doing too bad.

The myth of student poverty is something of a fallacy to say the least and distasteful one given the real poverty, which lies just beyond the comfortable bubble of studenthood. Imagine not being able to feed yourself properly.

Worse still, imagine having a family who are reliant on you as well; a wife or husband, perhaps two children, all needing your support. Imagine lying awake at night in bed worrying about your next meal, not what it will be, not where you will eat, but where it will come from.

This is reality for some. No, not in some far away country that you can easily ignore (we should probably call into question here why those people are any less important anyway, but that is a whole other debate), but right here in the Steel City, which you have chosen to make your home for the next few years.

Over the past few years the number of food banks, charities which ensure less fortunate people who cannot afford food have access to the basics, has risen in the UK. A system, which would usually be associated with countries in desperate poverty, has suddenly become common place in our own country. In the last year the number of people in relying on food banks has tripled.

Over 350,000 people are in such dire straights that they are forced to rely on food banks just to survive.

The Sheffield FoodBank helps people in this city to sustain themselves and their families. Most of the people who they help are referred to them by agencies and are in situations of extreme need. By donating the basics in tinned and non-perishable food you can help someone who needs a meal.

The work they do is honourable and a godsend, but the fact that this is a necessity merely signifies the economic state today. Food is a basic human need and right. Since when did it become a privilege?

Sheffield band, Seven Tors is made up of four beautiful ladies Nicola, Emily, Tracey and Jen and one beautiful man, Dave who play lovely, electro-folky music. Their music is very nice to listen to and so are they, so we decided to have a chat to them. They all answered exactly the same in unison, which is why there’s only one answer from five people.

How long have you been together, how did you form?

Well, it’s taken us a bit of time to get the full band together! We started in 2012, originally just me, Tracy and Nic. Nic and Tracy had got chatting in a pub by chance. A few months later, Dave joined us with this ‘funky bass’ (his words) and now we have Jen on drums!

How would describe the Tor’s sound?

We’re a bit folky with lots of guitar playing, a cajon at times, and a lot of vocal harmonies. But we also have a synth so some of our songs are a bit more electro-y.

That’s a style right?

What’s your favourite song to perform?

Has to be Dancing Feet, because the audience always get theirs out (their dancing feet that is.) It’s one of our few happy, happy songs which involves cheesy chanting and syncopated clapping which we always look a touch awkward about. We get a great reception to that song though and always see people singing along.

seven tors

Is there a cover you’d like to do but haven’t been brave enough?

I think we should mention that we’ve done Sexual Healing on request and as much as we would LOVE to throw it into a regular gig we haven’t had the guts. Having said that, we’ll probably perform pretty much anything.

What’s next for the Tors?

Money, Fame and Cocaine! Also releasing an EP and seeing where the interest takes us! It will be great to be gigging as a full band as of November.

Inside The Circle Of Fire: A Sheffield Sound Map

by Jack Greenwell A city forged from steel, Sheffield has grown into a modern cultural honeypot for artists, musicians and “creatives” to hone their skills, whose work can be found right across the city center itself and in its numerous gallery spaces.

The Millennium Gallery is one such space that has hosted a vast number of exhibitions of work (both visual and audial) from the best and little known names from Sheffield and South Yorkshire. Appropriate then for one of the city’s greats to hold an exhibition in celebration of what inspired him.

Chris Watson, sound artist and founding member of new wave electronic music pioneers Cabaret Voltaire, brings you ‘Inside The Circle Of Fire’, an audio-visual experience of the real Sheffield. Now one of the UK’s leading sound recorders, Watson has been taken across the world with his work, recently winning a BAFTA (2012) for his breathtaking soundtrack to David Attenborough’s Frozen Planet series, and now returns full circle, back to the place of his birth. The installation inside one of the Millennium’s fantastic open art spaces, is comprised of sofas and cushions in the center of the dimly lit room, whilst absorbing recordings taken from every corner of Sheffield play out around you, the concept being that the city is ‘mapped by sound’. Watson took recordings over the past eighteen months from the tranquility of the surrounding peak district, to roaring Saturday afternoons at Bramall Lane and Hillsborough, and even to the fiery depths of the Forgemasters furnaces for use in the an piece that really captures the living, breathing soul of Sheffield. Watson’s obsessive passion for the art of sound is completely present here, as is his love and appreciation for his Yorkshire roots.

The ever-changing sounds of ‘Inside The Circle Of Fire’ are open for listening from 12th September 2013 right up until 23rd February 2014 in the Millennium, and if you haven’t dropped in for a listen yet then I highly recommend it.

It’s a true, personal and sometimes unheard side of the city we know and love.

Is youthful idealism turning into political correctness gone mad?

by Kate MacCarthy Increasingly, as you get older, you are required to have an opinion on everything. A great evening having drinks with friends can often descend, with the help of a few gins, into a heated discussion about the ‘big questions’ in life: who would you vote for? What do you think about the NHS/banking system? Crucially, how do we feel about Miley Cyrus on that wrecking ball? Apparently there is a ‘right’ and a ‘wrong’ way to feel and think about everything.

Lately, I’ve noticed a growing phenomenon amongst young people which is killing our conversations. It’s the rise of political correctness, and frankly, it’s tiresome.

Even the smallest pleasures in life are tarnished by the ever present pressure to be as PC as possible. I quite liked that Robin Thicke song, but the backlash which denounced it as misogynistic now makes me question whether bopping along to it on the radio means I am letting down the whole of womankind. Am I a bad feminist because I don’t think that Miley Cyrus is an icon of female empowerment, but that she has actually lost the plot? I’m all for young, idealistic people fighting for change and breaking down the outdated, unfair boundaries dictated by tradition, but keeping up with the PC brigade is exhausting. It sucks the fun out of just about everything.

Pub ‘debates’, be they about politics, human rights or the latest popstrel to do something outrageous, never resolve anything. They also inevitably leave at least one person feeling like their opinion isn’t valid. The smug, earnest individuals who think they are on the right side of the debate are often as closed-minded as the people they denigrate, discounting anything they disagree with instantly. Don’t get me wrong, there is undoubtedly a time and a place for proper discussion about serious problems, but I only came out for a drink and a laugh. Can we just play with Face Juggler instead?

When it comes to questions of ethics, there is no right and wrong, there is simply what you have decided is best.

Moral debates are not like mathematical equations which can be definitively solved. Young people who like to identify themselves as right-on liberals, fighting for any and every cause, need to realise that differences of opinion are O.K and that censorship of opinions which offend them is definitely not. And pleeease can we just put off the debate until another time and enjoy our g&t’s for a minute?

Meadowhell: Don’t do it Christmas Shoppers. by Craig Lomas With Christmas right around the corner, it’s almost time for normally sane people to take leave of their senses and immerse themselves in a barrage of competitive shopping and stress. The whole event is enough to leave anyone rocking in a corner, crying over a Christmas cracker. With this in mind the obvious choice for most customers to visit, would be Meadowhall, directly taking away valuable business and revenue from the heart of the city. With such a vast array of independent shops in Sheffield’s City Centre, it seems a bit of a cop out to frequent one of the most corporate cattle markets around.

A former employee of Meadowhall, you bear witness to countless people passing through the doors, all greeted with the same monotone greeting and manufactured customer service. So much so that it would be more effective to hire a team of robots in some instances. The whole sentiment is to get people out as quick as possible, with the money lining the pockets of the directors, who will stop at nothing to get that extra sale.

When asking a few people their reasoning for shunning the City centre, most argue that the incentive of free parking and a fully indoor shopping experience, is far superior to trudging around in all weathers. If these are resounding reasons, then maybe the council need to invest some time into allocating free parking zones. To those who don’t fancy the idea of walking around town in the rain, these amazing inventions exist called umbrellas. Sheffield needs a bit of a shake up and maybe the inclusion of longer opening hours should be applied, to try and recoil back some of the ever lacking custom. Either way it’s about time we all thought about supporting our local shops a bit more, especially at Christmas. Remember, Santa will know if you’ve been naughty or nice...

The Sheffield Gay Scene: A Lowdown. by Laura Kay Have you ever tried to have a big gay night out in Sheffield? It’s much harder than you’d think. There is no gay quarter where you can skip around holding hands with your boyfriend or girlfriend without fear of getting a big gay slap in the face. In fact there isn’t even a street dedicated to glitter, Celine Dion and cheap drinks (oh it’s OK, I’m allowed to say that, I am one.) For a city this size, which is so diverse and full of students, the gay scene here is a travesty and it’s no wonder that people flock to nearby Manchester and Leeds for a far superior night out. However if you do decide to stay in the Steel City Centre because it’s cheap and down the road from your house, then here are your options.

Dempseys

The sad King of all the nights in Sheffield. Dempseys is open the longest and most often. In fact it is open every single day and night until silly o’clock in the morning. You can have breakfast in Dempseys, I shit you not. Good points of this club are that on Fridays and Saturdays it’s usually pretty busy so you won’t feel lonely and sad, they play a Britney megamix on request, you can buy lambrini by the bottle and drink it with a straw and there is a cage for you to dance in. Bad points of this club are that drinks are pretty dear, you are not advised to touch the walls or floor or anyone in it, and there is a cage for you to dance in. Make no mistake, if you are gay and you are in Sheffield you will end up in Dempseys.

Affinity

Affinity is another one which seems to be open all the time but is usually pretty quiet apart from on Friday and Saturday nights. The vibe is somehow friendlier than Dempseys and attracts a bit of a younger crowd. They sell Charlemagne instead of Champagne which makes me very happy. There is no cage here but there is a pole so don’t worry, you will be able to horrifically embarass yourself and your friends here too.

Theres so much beauty in the rain

GAY.as.f Climax

Run by Sheffield Uni, this is one of the most popular gay nights in Sheffield, but since it’s only on once a month, it is obviously pretty limited on the night out front. It always draws in the same crowd so can feel pretty cliquey but the music’s always fun and the drinks are pretty cheap. Worth noting that there is always a theme which no one ever pays attention to. If it says you should come wearing an outfit made only of feathers, it literally means skinny jeans and a checked shirt, for everyone.

Club Q12

New to town, this is a queer night held at Penelopes, which is literally attached to the Odeon in town. It celebrates diversity, equality and body positivity which is always a nice thing to celebrate. Drinks are a good price, music is really cool and the vibe is really fun. Worth trying as an alternative to Climax.

Asking for it

Here at The Student Magazine we don’t by any means encourage pre-marital sex. I mean, come on you’d have to be pretty free and easy to think that it is ok to go to bed with someone before you have even walked down the aisle with them.

Still, if you do insist on bumping uglies then we have a few tips for you. Follow these exactly and you will be considered something of a sex God amongst your peers…. (You may also end up in hospital, for which we take no responsibility!)

The Doll's Head

The Clown in the Wardrobe This is a high level position and should only be attempted by experts and gymnasts. If you are neither, don’t even bother trying…

I’m on the rugby team and I love it, they’re all really good lads and we have a proper laugh training and going out, but it’s tour soon and I’m scared to go. I’ve heard horrible stories about initiations for first years and I’m not up for it at all, but I’m worried if I don’t go, I’ll be kicked off the team. Help!

I’m in my first year and have just found out that all my flatmates have decided to live together next year without me and this one other boy, Jack. I’m hurt because I just assumed that we’d all carry on living together and now I’m going to end up living alone forever. Why would they do that to me? Why?

Tom, 20, UoS Thanks for getting in touch Tom, scary initiations for first year sports players is an issue close to my heart; because love them. Is there anything better than the sound of a fresher crying because vodka is burning their eyes, or cat food is making them sick or because they just don’t want to be handcuffed together anymore? I don’t think there is Tom, so why would you deny your team mates this fun? They’ve all gone through the same thing to get to where they are so you just have to suck it up and get on with it. If you can’t then maybe you should question your ability as a rugby player, friend and human being. Just remember, if you can get through this one week of hell, then you get to do it to a whole new group of whiny freshers next year and that will be the greatest week of your life.

Think about that.

Jess 19, Hallam Uni This is awkward Jess. Very awkward.

The reason the rest of your housemates don’t want to live with you is because you are either the ‘weird’ one or the ‘annoying’ one, or of course, both. They have probably had an extremely stressful time discussing and organising this behind your back so don’t be too hard on them, it’s not their fault that you’re weird and/or annoying is it? My advice, Weird Jess, is to team up with Annoying Jack and live with him and a collection of your strange friends. You could also maybe get a pet because pets are indiscriminate and won’t mind if you’re weird as long as you feed them. Maybe it will give your life value and meaning, Boring Jess. You’re welcome.

Step 1: Drill two holes in your wardrobe door.

One should be about the size of the guy’s head and the other should be the size of his other head. The larger hole should be positioned higher than the smaller.

Step 2: The guy should now get completely naked, save for a fully made up face of clown make up. He should now step into the wardrobe.

This is a chance to use your makeup box to its best. For this tip you will need one male of over 18 years. When you have found said male, be it on the streets, in Corp or behind your wardrobe, you will need him to let you take a look at his winky. Then follow these steps: Step 1: Use your makeup artistry skills to conjure the male's winky into something which resembles a doll's face. (We find that the small hole in the end actually works well as a mouth in this instance.)

Step 2: Once you have created your beautiful doll's head (on his head, lol) be sure to take some pictures and post them all over the web. You may want to complete the look by tying a pretty bow around the doll's neck (i.e. the winky shaft).

Step 3: When the guy is appropriately excited he should put his gentleman into the smaller of the two holes, whilst he presses his face through the larger whole creating a beautiful scene.

Step 4: The lady must now hold onto the top of the wardrobe (this will take a great deal of upper body strength) and suspend herself in this manner. She may then ease herself onto the guy’s gentleman.

Step 3: Next you should try to talk to the doll (who most probably will not answer, though the male may wish to do the "voice" of a younger attractive female for you).

Step 4: Carress the doll's face back and forth until she spits right in your face.

Tip: To make this position more interesting the lady might want to dress up as a seal.

Tip: The more spit in your mouth the better.

Chamber of Secrets This is a fun game for passionate lovers and people who enjoy the simple pleasures of a sugary sweet treat! There are many dangers associated with this game, so I in no way encourage you to try it. However, it’s nice to think about.

Step 1: Buy some tasty treats!

Step 2: The lady should insert said tasty treats into her ‘chamber of secrets’. The deeper within the chamber, the better the game will be.

Step 3: The guy should now attempt to find the treasures using any implement he so wishes. When he finds the treats, he may eat them himself or feed them to the lady. page #28

Aquarius January 20th – February 18th

Pisces February 19th – March 20th

Aries March 21st – April 19th

Taurus April 20th – May 20th

Drip, drop, drip.... drop. Do you hear that?

Did you just? Did you...? Are you having a wee? Eew. You are disgusting. If you have problems with a weak bladder there are many places you can go to for a little bit of help. If the problem persists regardless of you cutting out drinks before bedtime then you should probably consult with your doctor.

Usually I would not say a bad word against Pisces, but since the stars have predicted it I am obliged to tell you the truth. Nobody likes you. I mean, no, wait.... that's an understatement. Everybody literally hates your guts. We did a survey and the consensus was this: the world would be a better place were you not in. Sorry to be the one to break it to you. #Awks

At first sight people may recoil, but behind all that skin and bones you are a genuinely nice person. That's to say you do nice things, say nice things, are nice things. There is just one problem with this, though, it bores the living canaries out of your friends. This month why not try to be interesting, it can't be any worse than what you are now.

Urgh, Taureans are the absolute worst. I hate Taureans. They are all “me, me, me” and “look, look, look” and “Bleurgh”. Yes, Taureans are truly all of these things and more. Taureans are dead to me. All of them. With the two exceptions of Joe and Laura.

Gemini May 21st – June 20th

Cancer

Leo July 23rd – August 22nd

Virgo August 23rd – September 22nd

Do you feel an itch down below? Have you been a little too free and easy with your love giving? Remember that magical night with that lass / lad from Barnsley who left at 6am?

They we're certainly scratching their crotch a lot, weren't they? Oopsie. You may have little friends crawling around in your panties.

Your life is like a game of Monopoly.

Sometimes your in jail, sometimes you own a hotel. Mood swings and roundabouts, my friend. This month you will be riding on top of the world in a giant bubble, which will freeze over in December and crash to the ground. Your corpse will be like a broken ice pop, metaphorically speaking of course.

On November 22nd you will visit the Red House, where you will get absolutely wasted.

You will meet a stranger with dreadlocks who will guide you through the night. Taking you by the hand the dreadlocked stranger will introduce you to many a new experience including a rather strange pill which will end in you vomiting in their hair. Enjoy, for this is magical.

Libra September 23rd – October 22nd

Scorpio October 23rd – November 21st

Sagittarius November 22nd – December 21st

Capricorn December 22nd – January 19th

The light of luck does not shine on you this November. Instead the shadow of evil casts itself all over your face. Whilst you lick it off you may want to spare a thought for those less fortunate than youself. Oh, I forgot, there is no one less fortunate than you. If you were a Family Guy character you wouldn't even be Meg, you'd be a blade of grass on the Griffin's lawn.

It is a fact universally acknowledged that people born under the sign of Scorpio are spawn of the devil Himself. You, my child, are a bad bad fiend. When walking down the streets of the Steel City you ooze evil and malice. Most people hate you and rightly so.

Have a good month, Satan.

Hello my beautiful friend. It's been a while.

I have missed our long chats over the phone.

I've missed our endless streams of Facebook comments. I've missed the way you called me “Mimi” and the way I called you “Snooks”. I've missed the way you licked strawberry jam off my ear lobes. Please come back!

This month will change your life. You will meet a deliciously dark stranger who will take you by the hand and show you things you never thought possible. You will explore not only your sexuality, but also your deepest emotions with the whirlwind romance, which will be over by Christmas leaving you broken hearted and suicidal.

A

g

Your eyes are blurry, your head is fuzzy, your hair is a scraggly mess. That is gong to be your default state this month. Why? Because you, my friend, are a drunkard. The student life is getting too much for you. You have actually started to believe that Players is an acceptable venue for a night out. Pull yourself together.

Hot diggity dog! It’s man vs food at Eccy Road’s Relish Want to spend time away from your freezing digs this winter?

Then curl up in the warmth of Relish on Eccy Road for a few hours and treat yourself to a belly full of delicious grub.

NE W

The owners (Sheffield chef Richard Smith and trendy craft brewery Thornbridge) have revamped this Eccy favourite with a great new concept and menu, featuring barbecue and ‘gourmet’ American diner fare - one of the biggest current food trends in Blighty and across the pond. And they’ve incorporated other upcoming trends into the menu too, like customisation, so you can build your own burgers and dogs.

“It’s trendy New York craft beer bar meets American diner,” says Thornbridge boss man Simon Webster, “We spent time in the States and London checking out these sorts of bars and soul food eateries, and Relish is our homage to both.”

There’s a big focus on beers too, with the list (which changes anything up to daily) currently including Thornbridge, Ska Brewing, Brooklyn, Sierra Nevada and more. Around half the beers even come in cans, which gives you the chance to try out a few different ones.

Added bonus: it’s cheap! As well as great prices they’re offering additional value by using fresh ingredients from local suppliers.

No grubby processed meat or frozen veg here. The music’s good too; the playlist is heaped with old school American hip hop and rock, providing the perfect soundtrack to your dining experience.

Relish’s new menu also includes a range of sharers, shakes, sweets, sundaes and ice cream floats, and brunch options including traditional offerings and new innovations, like ‘Eggs Piglet’ – breakfast muffins topped with pulled bbq pork, poached eggs and hollandaise.

Just one word of advice: make sure you’re hungry when you arrive.

ME NU .. .N EW

LO OK

Don Jon Release date 15th November This film is all about Joseph Gordon Levitt, AKA Robin in The Dark Knight Rises, AKA the sap in 500 Days of Summer, showing that he’s more than just an actor, he is also a writer and a director. That’s right, Gordon Levitt has done a solo Good Will Hunting and actually, it’s meant to be quite good. Scarlet Johannson stars alongside Levitt in this drama about a guy from New Jersey who is obsessed by and gets unrealistic expectations from porn. It follows his ‘journey’ to finding happiness and real intimacy outside the screen of his laptop. If you like gritty rom coms and pretty men making and starring in films, then this is definitely one for you. Also if you like Scarlet Johansson doing a New Jersey accent, which you will.

Trust me.

FILM page #36

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Release date 21st November The second release from The Hunger Games trilogy; if this film shows as many children killing each other in a brutal dystopian game, pitting the poor against each other for the sadistic pleasure of the rich and privileged then it’s sure to be another hit, because if that isn’t a winning formula I don’t know what is. Catching Fire sees heroine Katniss Everdeen played by the always incredible Jennifer Lawrence, targeted by the evil Capitol for outsmarting them at The Hunger Games ensuring her and Peeta (actual ridiculous spelling) were both crowned winners and returned safely home. Often described as an antidote to Twilight, famous for it’s tragic, sappy, abstinence theme and pathetic female lead, The Hunger Games is actually pretty intelligent and gripping for a teen drama. Definitely worth a watch.

Dom Hemingway Release date 15th November This is one of those films where you can guess the plot from looking at the stupid poster, God Save the Queen gangster wheeeey! This film stars Jude Law as Dom Hemingway, a man who has spent 12 years in prison for keeping his mouth shut. He is then released back on to the streets of London to exact revenge and collect what he’s owed. Also starring Richard E.Grant and Emilia Clarke, this film has a pretty good cast and looks set to be another one of those very watchable Jude Law films where he has a cockney accent and is a bit of a cheeky chappie.

What’s not to like? Actually yeah, quite a lot. My advice is don’t go and see this if you don’t like the sound of it. Easy! page #37

Walt Disney sexualises children

Aliens are controlling the world

Wondering what a conspiracy theorist thinks about the man who brought us Mickey Mouse, and told us a dream is a wish our heart makes? “His initial interest was not in kids in the way you might think, but he was in fact a sexual pervert and paedophile, which was displayed in everything he did.”

According to BBC journalist David Icke – lizard aliens take over human bodies to control our society, and have been doing this for thousands of years. You may actually be familiar with some of these humanoids. Queen Elizabeth, George W. Bush, and Bill and Hillary Clinton – apparently - all belong to the race of outer space reptiles…

Oh. Alright then.

So where are these displays?

Icke believes that, after tracing thousands of years of blood lines, humans bred with aliens to create this form of being. He believes they can shape shift and are slowly trying to take over our society. If you’re thinking this sounds a bit sinister, they are also behind the Illuminati organisation

On the front cover of the Little Mermaid part of King Trident’s castle looks like male genitals. The priest during Aeril and Eric’s wedding has an animated erection. Apparently you can see the word sex spelt out in the stars of the Lion King. As well as this, on the poster for the film Mufasa’s nose and mouth looks like a woman wearing a bikini. Sadly this one’s a bit more obvious and once you’ve seen it, you can’t really unsee. Not really, hakuna matata then.

By Ellie Lewis

review We’ve been hearing good things about Relish on Ecclesall Road and couldn’t wait to try out the new menu. With it being a Saturday night, the restaurant was packed with people and with music blaring on the Jukebox, there was a great atmosphere.

The menu was full of delicious sounding southern soul food, including loads of Tex Mex options, Fried Chicken, burgers and hotdogs. There were lots of sides to choose from including interesting sounding options such as ‘burnt end and caramelised meat bits mash’ and ‘scallions and sour cream’. After much deliberating while drinking our Flying Dog Atlantic Lager, chosen from their extensive drinks list and nibbling our free salted popcorn we went for an ‘all American’ hotdog and ‘say cheese’ burger, both with shoe string fries. They came swiftly in baskets and on red diner-style trays which was a nice touch. It was really good quality fast food, tasty and moreish.

We just about left room for dessert and ordered a ‘death by chocolate’ fondant complete with chocolate pebbles and soil as well as a vanilla sundae to share. The fondant was delicious and the chocolate pebbles were amazing, a sweet tooth is definitely required!

Relish is a great place to spend a Saturday evening with a reasonably priced, extensive drinks menu (which includes some pretty exciting looking milkshakes) and some good food on offer.

This little gem of a pub sits at the heart of the Sharrow Vale community, and hosts a variety of weekly events to suit the needs of its clientele, such as Quiz, Jazz and Comedy nights.

What I needed was a plateful of good Sunday food, so naturally the beef roast was my choice. I couldn’t have asked for a better meal – the meat was cooked perfectly, the roast potatoes were crisp without being too dry, and the Yorkshire puddings didn’t leave anything to be desired.

Top marks from me.

What I really enjoyed about this pub though was the atmosphere. The staff obviously put a lot of effort into creating a very relaxed feeling, without compromising their amazing customer service. After my meal, I slipped into the function room to observe the comedy acts that the Lescar plays host to on Thursday’s each week for the Last Laugh Comedy Club, and throughout October as part of their Comedy Festival. Many others had the same idea, and Paul Sinha’s quiz performance quickly filled the room, as did Carl Hutchinson’s stand-up act.

A couple of pints of Moonshine later, and my Sunday was winding down to a perfect close.

The Student Magazine Guide to your First Essay in 10 easy steps.

An Exclusive Clothing & Trainer Booth // Est 2012

1. Pick your essay subject then attend only the corresponding lecture because all the rest are irrelevant, this will leave you feeling smug and good at time management. For being this sensible you may take a day off to bask in your organised glory.

2. Make sure your brain is extremely nourished by eating lots of food several times a day and sleeping for 12-14 hours a night and then perhaps all day. Whatever it takes.

3. Make a very neat list of all the books you could get out of the library with some new stationary. This list in itself is enough but if you’re into it then go and get them out and put them in your room.

Having a lot of books in your room is a huge part of writing an essay and more importantly, letting other people know that you are.

4. Make sure you thoroughly research your topic and surrounding subjects on Wikipedia before you do anything else, this will give you a well rounded view before you get dragged down in boring academia.

5. When you actually start writing your essay the night before (because everyone works better under extreme pressure, it’s a scientific fact) make sure you do it in the Uni library so that you won’t be tempted to crawl into bed and so that everyone knows what an all-nighter hero you are.

6. Make sure to take study breaks every 20 minutes by staying at your laptop and watching videos on YouTube or reading Buzzfeed.

7. It’s extremely important to write regular Facebook statuses about how you’re getting on with your essay.

Preferably one every 500 words or so. This will keep everyone updated and not at all annoyed.

8. Keep your brain at it’s best and most alert by drinking extreme amounts of caffeine. Coffee is fine but not as good as cheap, brightly coloured energy drinks called ‘Buzz’ or ‘Palpitation’. Keep the cans lined up on your desk so everyone else knows how hardcore and dedicated you are.

9. Print it off in the morning even though you’ve been there all night because there’s nothing more satisfying than the rush you get from only just handing an essay in on time.

10. Congratulate yourself by spending lots of money, eating cake and drinking everything because you deserve it, you genius.

We cant think of a title for this page but its got gadgets and stuff on it, and we couldnt find any pictures so we drew them instead.

Hoodie Neckpillow, Firebox, £19.99 If you do a lot of travelling then you’ll be familiar with the feeling of waking up with a stiff neck after sleeping awkwardly on a neighbours shoulder all because you hated the thought of using one of those lame travel pillows. You were right not to use the travel pillow, they are lame,but now you can use one attached to a hoodie, which looks cool and makes you look a little bit like you have a an asbo. Bonus!

So now you don’t have to worry anymore about your sleeping style and we can all hope that this is just the first step on the road that joins all sleeping apparatus to casual clothing.

Life Straw, Firebox £29.99 Do you often find yourself slowly dehydrating in the wild? Maybe you stare longingly at puddles, streams or toilets wishing with all your might that you could drink out of them like a cat. We’ve all been there. Well now, all your dreams can come true with Life Straw, a magical straw which instantly filters water making it safe to drink. It’s powerful purification system removes 99.9% of bacteria, leaving that little bit of bacteria which as we all know only builds your immune system, right?

Treat yourself to all the unclean water you’ve ever wanted Graphene Touted as the ‘miracle material’, Graphene has been exciting Scientists worldwide for a couple of years now and it finally seems that they’re finding the best ways to utilise it. Measured as the strongest material ever, 200 times stronger than industrial steel, researchers claim that it would take an elephant standing on a pencil to break through a piece of Graphene the thickness of cling film. Hundreds of companies and startups have invested in it, it’s going to be the future super material meaning that things like your credit card will have more processing power than your current smartphone. The ‘one to watch’ of the gadgets world.

Galaxy Gear Smartwatch

Bluetooth Gloves, Firebox, £49.99 You know when you’re walking down the street and you see someone holding a glove over their face and talking into it and you feel that stab of envy about how good they look? Now you too can look that good and not at all weird! Bluetooth gloves not only keep your hands warm but by synching wirelessly with your actual phone, they also mean that you can finally have that ever elusive ‘phone hand’ so that everyone will be jealous of you while you manage to juggle looking both warm and crazy.

There’s been a lot of hype about these Smartwatches and the jury’s still out as to whether they’re as revolutionary as the manufacturers have been making out. People who wear watches, do so not only to tell the time but also because it looks good. People who don’t wear watches tend to just use their phones instead so obviously it was just a matter of time before the phone watch appeared.

You can do all the things you’d expect, such as make calls and send texts as well as use apps and of course, tell the time. So as long as you don’t mind wearing a tiny, expensive rectangular screen on your wrist and you like telling the time then this is the product for you!

住在謝村：瞭解 你的城市

市中心 即使你在謝村已經住了有些日子了，住在市中心依然 是件有趣的事，總是會有新的發現。 你的活動範圍可能永遠就在居住區的3公里以內不過 不要緊，市中心什麽都有。不管你是住在喧囂的西街 上，不會錯過任何奇人軼事；又或者住在相對安靜的 Kelham Island，一個遍佈著商店、酒吧和餐館的地 方。謝村都是個住起來很舒適的城市

以上的情形對一些人，一些遙遠國度的人 們來說就是每天的現實生活寫照（我們不 禁質疑，爲什麽這些人的人權會相對不那 麼重要？當然這將引起另一番討論）。然 而在這座鋼鐵之城，這座我們選擇居住的 城市里，我們往往會忽略了那些飽受飢餓 貧困的人們。 過去幾年間，一些食物銀行和慈善組織已 經在英國成立，目的就是為貧困國家飽受 飢餓困苦的人們提供基本營養的食品。這 些組織通常與貧困國家相互合作，如今在 英國已經很常見。過去幾年間依賴食物銀 行的人口數量翻了三倍。超過35萬人必須 依靠食物銀行才能存活。 Shefield食物銀行幫助本市有需要的人們 和家庭。大部份人通過中介介紹以獲求幫 助。捐助 罐頭或者不易腐爛的食品，為有需要的人 獻一份愛心。

食物銀行接受捐贈的食品清單 牛奶（超高溫處理或者粉狀） 糖（500克） 果汁（紙盒裝） 湯 意粉醬 海綿布丁（罐裝） 番茄（罐裝） 穀類 米糕（罐裝） 茶包或者速溶咖啡 速食土豆泥 大米或者意粉 罐裝肉製品或者魚肉 罐裝蔬菜 罐裝水果 果醬 餅乾和零食 國家里甚至是城市里這種食物銀行的存在 時一種恥辱。他們的性質自然是受人尊敬 的，但是當一個食物銀行變成一個城市 的必需品之時，當前的經濟狀況就可見一 斑。食物乃是基本人權之一，什麽時候開 始食物成為了一種特權？ 如何伸出援助之手 如果你想奉獻一份愛心，捐贈食物或 者籌款，可以再網上找到一切相關信 息。Sheffield食物銀行幫助的人們遍佈地 區廣泛，包括Fir Vale, Gleadless Valley, Firth Park, Darnell和Lowedges等等 Sheffield FoodBank: http://www.sheffieldfoodbank.org.uk/ Contact: supportus@sheffieldfoodbank.org

你依賴食物

你依賴食物

問問你今天吃了什麽，如果你的答案不只 是一片全麥麵包的話，你的生活也不至於 太差勁。 至少可以說學生貧困這一概念本身相對真 正的貧困來說就是一種謬誤。真正的貧困 在學生時代的保護圈下無法體會。想像一 下連溫飽問題都沒辦法解決，甚至還有一 家老小指望著你，老婆或者老公，兩個孩 子都需要你來養家活口。想像一下每天醒 來擔心的不是下一頓吃什麽去哪吃，而是 怎麼弄到吃的.

Wretch 32專訪

Jermaine Scott Sinclair又名Wretch 32憑藉一首Traktor突破地下樂隊的桎梏， 一舉躋身主流音樂壇。如今他正籌備發表自己的最佳專輯。我們專訪了這位音 樂新秀，探討了關於音樂生涯的頂峰期、成名和Twitter粉絲聊天 記者L： 在你過去幾年的人生中，有沒有這麼一個時刻你對自己說：“我做到了”？ W：這幾年其實有好幾次。就拿上個星期六晚上來說，我面對滿座的聽眾， 在指揮帶著90人的伴奏團的幫助下進行表演，對我來說是終身難忘。表演結束的時 候我的感覺無法言表 記者L： 你做音樂有一段時間了，但是最近才進軍主流樂壇，這樣的轉化帶給了你很大的名 聲，你怎麼看？ W： 我覺得我一時還不適應。有點諷刺的是，我努力了10年才獲得今天的成就，但是如今 我站在這我心裡想“哇哦，我做到了，我不想休息不想睡覺。用了10年才到今天，我必須繼 續努力以保持這樣的成績。因為我一直都堅持專注在我的事業上而不希望被任何事情打擾 我的這份堅持 記者L：是不是有點像你的新歌唱的那樣，你依然還是“那個追求者但是現在你更清澈”？這 是你的真實感受么？ W： 是的，就像生命里突然有那麼一刻，你意識到我們每個人都會經歷那段歲月抱怨“我從 來沒有。。。”或者是“我的時間總不夠”或者是“我沒有做過這個”。慢下腳步，看看你所擁有 的并心存感激。其實我們很幸福，每個人都有自己的幸福 記者L：你玩Twitter，你覺得它是一種跟粉絲們溝通好方式么？ W： 是的。而且我會用Twitter表達自己的意見。我希望粉絲們更瞭解我的個性。例如很多 人知道我喜歡Eastenders因為我在Twitter上說過，可是光靠聽我的歌是不可能知道這一點 的。有人會在上面提醒我說：嘿，別忘了Eastenders 8點開始。我非常喜歡這種感覺因為我 覺得當人們把你跟藝術掛鉤時，很容易把你神化了。其實我也是普通人一個，時不時喜歡開 記者L：下一步要做什麽？打算進軍電影或者電視劇么？ W：看看我的新專輯什麽時候完成，我可能會回戲劇學校進修。其實聽有趣的，藝術之間都 多多少少有些掛鉤，作為一個音樂人其實你只是個娛樂家，所以當必須娛樂的時候你還是得 去做。但其實每個人心裡都會有一件一直想做的事。當我還在讀書的時候我就想演戲，但 是不知道爲什麽就是沒有演過。但是現在我有機會回去重新來過，有時候你會想從一個新的 角度挑戰自己
