EDITOR’S

LETTER Hold onto your hats for another jam-packed issue of Mayhem! I’d just like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who made the first issue and launch of Mayhem! so successful. We really couldn’t have done it without you and we’re all incredibly proud of Issue 1! It wasn’t perfect, as a few of you kindly pointed out, but the feedback has been remarkably positive and we’ll carry on trying to make Mayhem! the best free magazine in Portsmouth… next step, global domination! It’s way too early to be talking about Christmas, a fact that most department stores and supermarkets have failed to realise, so we’ve decided to do what Mayhem! does best for Issue 2 – fun, frolics, fashion and filth! So, if you want to find out about the latest must-have gadgets, what to wear this autumn or even why beans make you trump… then you’ve come to the right place. We’ve chatted to some top totty, including Jenson Button and the cast of Twilight and we’re helping you look after the pennies with our usual vouchers, promotions and competitions! We’re always looking for contributors too, so if you fancy getting your name in print and have some fun, witty or downright icky literary fodder, then give us a bell and we’ll see if you’ve got what it takes. But, in the mean time… Enjoy!

So how does a full-time mum and part-time taxi driver end up talking to the likes of Walt Disney and Warner Bros? Lets start from the beginning. To advertise in Mayhem! Magazine call us on: 023 9229 4408

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS STILL LIVING AND WORKING IN PORTSMOUTH, DO YOU HAVE MUCH CONTACT WITH THE UNIVERSITY SCENE AT ALL? AND HOW HAVE YOU INTEGRATED YOUR LAW DEGREE WITH WHAT YOU’RE DOING NOW… IF AT ALL? Yes, I still have connections at the University and I give guest lectures and talks to business students. I also have MBA students come and do Consultancy Projects for me as part of their Masters Degree which I thoroughly enjoy.

I was travelling to being ones you would find on a board and the aim of the game would be to collect as many fares as possible. The traffic lights would become the hazard cards that will either be a help or a hindrance.

My Law degree has come in very useful, especially on the Intellectual Property side of things, as the value of the business is pretty much held in the IP (intellectual property), as this is one of the major assets of the company.

I did nothing with my idea for quite a while, until I saw posters in the Student Union for the Enterprise Challenge 2003. I had to check with the Centre for Enterprise if my idea for a game was actually a business, as I didn’t know if it would qualify. Holly Dawson, who was running the Enterprise Challenge gave me an entry form, which had four small sections; What is your product/ service; What is your market; Who are your competitors; Where do you think you will be in five Years Time?

TELL US ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AT PORTSMOUTH UNI? WHAT WAS IT LIKE FOR YOU, HOW HAS IT CHANGED? I loved being a student. As a mature student it was tough juggling things around, but I made lots of friends and it helped me with confidence. I also learned that in life, it’s not what you know, but knowing where to find out. So I learned how to research and find information that was relevant to either my business or my course. Since I left, the new business school has been built, which is an incredible facility. I have now been privileged to give talks in the lecture theatres there.

This was the first time I had put my idea from my head onto paper. I also drew out the board. I won the first stage of the Enterprise Challenge and used the money to have a sample board made. Stage two required me to write a business plan, and I learned so much about the Toy Industry from my research and also the fact that my game features around 45 tourist destinations, so doubled up as a souvenir… 30 million tourists visit London every year, so this was a great extended market. I went on to win stage two of the competition and used the money to set up my company; RTL Games Ltd.

YOU HAD A JOB AS A TAXI DRIVER, FERRYING DRUNKEN STUDENTS NO DOUBT. HOW DID YOU GO FROM SPENDING HALF YOUR TIME SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS TO DEVELOPING THE IDEA FOR DESTINATION? I literally did stop at a set of red lights one evening, and a thought popped into my head… ‘Red light – miss a turn’… and from that moment the idea for Destination was born. I then imagined my taxi being a playing piece on a board and the destinations

HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT DRAGONS’ DEN AND WHAT GAVE YOU THE SPARK TO PITCH YOUR IDEA TO THE FEARSOME 5? I first knew of Dragons’ Den when Tony Greatbatch, who was head of Enterprise at the time, showed me a cut out from a national newspaper for a new TV show for entrepreneurs seeking investment. We had no idea how the show was structured, and to be honest, I thought it would be exciting to be on telly! Little did I know what lay in store!

THEY’RE A TOUGH BUNCH, IT MUST HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT LEAVING EMPTY HANDED. WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE AND WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT? The day of filming was nerve wracking and after my pitch, I was feeling quite pleased with myself, thinking they would love it and ALL want to invest in my business. Then came the line of interrogations! Doug Richard in particular gave me a grilling on my numbers and I really struggled as I wasn’t allowed to take my business plan in with me and I wasn’t very good at presenting my numbers from memory. Peter Jones felt I was going through a learning curve, Simon Woodroof thought it was great but not an investment for him, Duncan Bannatyne didn’t think a launch with only PR behind it would work and Rachel Elnaugh said there was no way I could compete with Monopoly. I thought a launch platform and order from Hamleys Toy Store was strong, plus I had the game in production using money I had raised from sponsorship. I was gutted, and admit I cried the whole way home on the train. I felt embarrassed and was dreading the time that it would go on telly. Anyway, after feeling sorry for myself, I decided I wasn’t going to let it get me down, so I continued with my launch plans for Destination London in Hamleys Toy Store… and guess what!... it was their best selling product in their entire store that Christmas and out-sold Monopoly! I then went on to create 21 editions of Destination which were stocked by Toys R Us, Debenhams, WH Smith, Harrods, Argos, Amazon, to name a few. TURN TO READ ON…

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS WAS IT GOOD TO MEET THE DRAGONS, WAS THERE ANYONE YOU WEREN’ T SO KEEN ON? OR DID YOU HAVE ANYONE YOU REALLY WANTED ON BOARD…? I think that all of the Dragons are nice people in reality. The show is great entertainment and a great platform for anyone who has a business idea and needs investment. I would say to anyone who is considering it… what have you got to lose? If your pitch gets screened on national telly, it is priceless TV exposure – for free! YOU MANAGED TO SUCCEED WITH DESTINATION AND OPENED IT UP TO A HUGE RANGE OF VARIANTS, LIKE DESTINATION HOGWARTS, THE HARRY POTTER EDITION. TELL US HOW THAT CAME ABOUT… DID YOU MEET ANY OF THE CAST? OR JKR HERSELF? It was an incredible feeling to work with the likes of Walt Disney and Warner Bros. A licensing manager from Warner Bros approached me at a trade show and suggested they would like to do a Harry Potter version of my game, and that’s how that all started. I have not yet met JK Rowling, I would love to meet her, I think she is an incredible genius and an inspiration. IT DIDN’T QUITE GO TO PLAN THOUGH AND YOUR COMPANY FELL INTO ADMINISTRATION. WAS THERE A MOMENT WHEN YOU FELT LIKE GIVING IT ALL UP? AND HOW DID YOU PICK UP THE PIECES? Yes, it was a devastating time when the recession hit. We had an edition that a lot of money had gone into and retail listings for Christmas. The game was attached to a movie release, and the movie got moved, so we lost those listings and couldn’t bridge the gap between Christmas 2008 and the following July. Under normal circumstances, with such a secure deal, the bank would have bridged that gap, but they didn’t. BBC Panorama filmed a documentary 10 MAYHEM! | NOVEMBER 2011

with me called Banks Behaving Badly, as my bank had been granted £20billion of Government money which was supposed to filter through to companies like mine, but didn’t. It was a very dark time for me. Not only did my business go into administration after six years of solid work building it, but also I lost my home, my car, everything I had worked for and faced inevitable bankruptcy. Shareholders lost money and I felt responsible, even though I was powerless to control what was happening. The whole situation got on top of me and I became very ill. I lost a lot of weight when I had my breakdown and it took a long time for me to recover both mentally and physically. I know it all sounds very dramatic, but this is the reality, you put your heart and soul into something and as an entrepreneur you are often required to personally guarantee bank borrowing, and if things don’t work out, you can lose everything. Some people say that business is not personal, but it was very personal to me. When the BBC Panorama Documentary was screened, it generated a lot of interest for the Destination brand. One of the bidders was a very successful businessman called Simon Dolan. During the Administration process he advised me that it could take quite some time (and he was right!), and suggested we set up something new in the mean time to help me to get back on my feet and to re-build my confidence. When we had a meeting about Destination, I had also mentioned another brand I wanted to launch one day called SHE WHO DARES. The brand would be about never giving up and the products would be given in recognition of something she has done. Simon liked this idea and so She Who Dares UK Ltd was set up and I started my road to recovery.

I worked from home until I felt confident enough to be around people again and take an office at Lakeside North Harbour. I spent quite some time doing research and development, product sourcing and all the things that are required to launch a new brand. Along the way, a deal was done with the Administrators for Destination, and on Christmas Eve 2010 the contract was signed and She Who Dares UK Ltd acquired the rights to the Destination brand to take it forward. Simon is sole investor, and there is no bank funding required. We have plans to re-launch Destination Suffolk and Destination South Africa which were the last two editions that I had developed. In early 2011 the company signed a new license with Warner Bros to do a new version of Destination Hogwarts in time for the final film, which was launched at the London Film Museum. This is now available in Toys R Us, Debenhams, Harrods, Amazon, Play.com etc (it is so good to see the games back on the shelves!)… and the most exciting news of all is that we signed a deal with the London 2012 Olympic Games for an Olympic edition of my game: Destination London 2012! We now also have a stunning collection developed for SHE WHO DARES, the fragrance bottle and cap have been made bespoke and the brand will be launched early next year. I feel so proud to be able to say all of this, and I truly believe that if you are passionate about something and you believe in it, never give up – nothing is impossible and you can turn anything around. Some of the most successful people in the world have been bankrupt and lost everything at one point in their journey. The lessons learned and the experience makes you stronger.

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS

YOUR 2009 MBE. DID YOU HAVE CHANCE TO MEET THE QUEEN? IT MUST HAVE BEEN A VERY HUMBLING EXPERIENCE… WHAT WERE THE STANDOUT MOMENTS? Yes, it was very humbling. I took my children and my mum and it is amazing to get to see the other side of the gates at Buckingham Palace. It is one truly incredible building. I didn’t meet the Queen on that particular day, as she had jetted off to Barbados, so Princess Anne presented me with my MBE for Services to Business. I had done a lot of speaking in schools, colleges, universities and business events, inspiring people to turn their ideas into reality; the MBE was in recognition of that. I have met the Queen at Buckingham Palace before though, at a gathering that celebrated Women in Business, I also met Camilla Parker-Bowles and some other Royals, and I was lucky enough to meet some celebrities like Sharon Osborne, that was also a great day.

SO, WHAT’S NEXT? What’s next is simply an awesome 2012! There is so much to look forward to and be proud of. I am blessed to have an amazing business partner, who gives me room to grow and be who I want to be in business. I have a happy home life with my children and my wonderful partner and I am surrounded by close family and friends who I love dearly. I think life is what you make it. You get back what you put in. Life is set to challenge us and teach us lessons along the way. I once heard this beautiful saying: ‘Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass …it is learning to dance in the rain’.

SAVING THE PLANET!

GOING GREEN WITHOUT GOING BROKE We all know that going ‘green’ is all the rage at the moment, but for all you out there poor and starving, a state-of-the-art solar system might seem a little out of your price-range. WRITTEN BY MIA HABENS

That ’s why you ’ve got to work wit h what you hav e and try out a touch of DIY. Now, before you get all huf fy and say “I’m not a scient ist, I don ’t know how to make any thing! ” here are a few tip s to get you in touch wit h your inn er hippy wit hou t going comple tely broke.

BE KIND TO YOUR THERMOSTAT

LET IN THE SUNSHINE

EAT GREEN If growing your own fills you full of dread, try visiting local farmer’s markets or buying locally grown fruit and veg. In the long run it will save you money because you reduce waste and you’ll only buy what you can eat.

On sunny days, forget sitting in front of the TV with the curtains drawn. Open the curtains, windows or blinds and let in the light. The sun is great for you and it saves thousands of kilowatts of energy from being burned on a daily basis. So, you can make the environment a little bit better just by letting the sun in and you didn’t spend a penny.

SAY NO TO PLASTIC BAGS

NO MORE DRYERS

When grocery shopping, make sure you bring your own reusable bags. Plastic bags take forever to biodegrade, so fabric is better. You could even have a go at making your own – it’s cheap as anything and really easy to do.

Save energy and hang out your clothes to dry instead of using a tumble dryer. On a nice day your clothes will smell like they’ve been kissed with a little piece of sunshine and you can feel good for doing your part in an eco-friendly way.

It’s human nature for us to turn the heating up when we get too cold and down when we get too hot. Change your thinking just a little and keep the thermostat at a neutral setting during the summer and winter months and stick to it. If you get too hot shed some clothes – although don’t get too carried away if you live with other people. If you get too cold, keep throw blankets to hand or add layers. Keep these ideas in mind and you are well on your way to going green on a budget.

ROB, KRISTEN AND TAYLOR ON GOING TOPLESS, BABIES, GROUPIES AND MORE…

Whether it be going topless, animatronic babies or middleaged groupies, it seems even vampires and werewolves have their weak spots. For Robert Pat tinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, meeting such challenges is all part and parcel of being the biggest young stars on the planet. Right now they are anticipating the end of Twilight, with filming done on Breaking Dawn and only the talking left to promote the two-part conclusion of the big screen adaptations of Stephanie Moyer’s bestselling books. Yet the madness that surrounds everyday life for secret celeb couple Robert and Kristen and musclebound teen Taylor is far from over. The talented trio talk about the end of their Twilight adventures and the challenges in bringing the most dramatic chapters of the books to life. She may be just 21 but acting out childbirth has clearly got

Kristen thinking about motherhood. Robert, 25, has finally revealed a little more of himself than he ever wanted to (much to the delight of his countless admirers) and Taylor has gone from the agony of having one of the worst haircuts in movie history to risking his squeaky clean image with some baby branding! Here the vampire, his lover and their teen wolf pal talk about the end of Twilight, baring all, having babies, their nerdy secrets and just what Kristen gets up to in her trailer with or without R-Patz. ARE THESE MOVIES TRULY THE END OF THE TWILIGHT SAGA OR MIGHT THERE BE A SPIN-OFF OF THE SAGA? ROBERT: Like Breakfast Time (laughs). Twilight, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn, Brunch, Noon. I don’t know, I guess the answer to that one’s with Stephanie [Meyer], really.

OUT OF ALL THE FILMS, WHAT WAS THE MOST SECRETIVE SCENE TO FILM? AND ALSO, WHAT SCENE WAS THE MOST EXPOSED TO FANS? KRISTEN: The wedding was definitely.

WHAT WAS IT LIKE FILMING IN BRAZIL AND TO BE LOVED ALL OVER THE WORLD? KRISTEN: All that love! It was nice being able to shoot on the actual streets, to see that within the context of this movie is definitely jarring in a great way. It’s very different. ROBERT: Loved all over the world? It’s nice. I don’t know if it’s love necessarily. As for shooting in Brazil, it’s one of the interesting things about having an international fan base, every single country has a totally

different reaction to you and to the movie. Shooting on the streets in Brazil, compared to people trying to sneak a picture or something if you’re shooting in the States or Canada, is very different. In Brazil people would literally try and grab you. It was pretty fun – on the set, in the shot. TAYLOR: I wasn’t there. I do love Brazil but I wasn’t there. They came back and showed me this picture. They told me first there was an extra that looked just like me. They showed me this picture and I even thought it was me.

It was like Secret Service style, insane. The crew was completely inconvenienced and grumbling around the set, like, ‘I can’t have my cell phone.’ You don’t know how much this means to us. Like, ‘If this dress gets on the internet I’ll die!’ I had a Volturi cloak on because that’s all we had to cover up. It was really funny. ROBERT: We didn’t have to do anything too intimate where there were a lot of people around, or we didn’t know there were a lot of people around. KRISTEN: We didn’t know when we were being photographed and stuff. That was always a weird experience after the fact, being like, ‘Oh, they were there for the whole scene. Awesome! TURN TO READ ON…

ROB, KRISTEN AND TAYLOR ON GOING TOPLESS, BABIES, GROUPIES AND MORE…

TAYLOR: A lot of the movie takes

place inside, so most of our time spent we were in Baton Rouge filming on a stage. We had two months in Vancouver but Breaking Dawn is very intimate. I just feel they did a really good job allowing us to be creative. We really didn’t have to focus on being distracted or anything like that on this movie. KRISTEN: They protected us, kind of.

imagine themselves in that situation. Shooting the scenes, I had to let myself realise that these moments will find themselves naturally. I can’t let the book punch me in the face every morning and give me stomach aches. Just let the moments happen. I do feel it’s very close to the book and a really sincere telling of the story. At the same time, we added bits. There are surprises that surprised me too – even in the iconic bits; the wedding, in the honeymoon.

WHAT WAS IT LIKE FILMING BELLA’S WEDDING, HONEYMOON AND GIVING BIRTH AND HOW DID IT AFFECT YOU PERSONALLY?

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE SCENE TO FILM FROM BREAKING DAWN?

KRISTEN: Everything, I can’t draw the

TAYLOR: I’ve always been able to

line between myself and the stuff I do. It’s funny, I don’t want to make it sound like it’s not just about this, but really with everything I do it’s hard for me to take myself out of it. I’ve been building up to these moments for four years. I was 17 when I started these movies. This one is really loaded with those cathartic, impactful, huge moments and they’re not all completely fantasy. They’re very rooted in a reality that I can completely see myself in it. Anyone who reads the books can

choose one for all of the movies. But this one I can’t. It’s just there’s so much going on in this movie and all of the characters are dealing with their own little things. It’s impossible for me to choose my favorite scene in this movie. Especially Jacob changes so much from the beginning to the end. It’s hard for me to choose. KRISTEN: I’m not going to say any of our scenes together because I don’t want to offend you guys, but there’s a scene with me and Charlie at the wedding that I love so much. And

20 MAYHEM! | NOVEMBER 2011

also with Renee, one after the other. I really like them. They’re sweet. ROBERT: I think the birth scene is so different to everything else in the movie. Also for a fantasy series that has kind of a youngish audience, it goes quite far. It’s quite hardcore. KRISTEN: It felt overtly graphic. ROBERT: But there’s no other way to do it. If you read the book, there’s literally no way to do it in any kind of tame way. So it was fun. DO YOU EVER WISH THIS WAS A SMALL INDIE FILM RATHER THAN A HUGE BLOCKBUSTER? KRISTEN: If this was a tiny little

independent movie that only ran on Sundance, then we would not be able to do it justice. Maybe the first few. This one is really a big movie. It’s nice to be indulgent and shoot for six months with an A-lister! Sure, we wouldn’t be doing a press conference about it. Maybe we would be sitting in some cool snowy lofty place in Sundance. What I’m saying is there’s really no difference. We’d be having the same conversation probably.

ROB, KRISTEN AND TAYLOR ON GOING TOPLESS, BABIES, GROUPIES AND MORE… WHAT ARE THE MOST NERDY THINGS YOU’VE LEARNED ABOUT EACH OTHER?

WHAT WAS THE MOST AWKWARD SCENE YOU HAD TO SHOOT AND WHAT WILL YOU MISS MOST?

ROBERT: Actually, I don’t think

KRISTEN: Well, occasionally I couldn’t

Kristen is nerdy. KRISTEN: I think I’m always cool (laughs). ROBERT: Kristen literally only watches The Cooking Channel. Especially on set, it’s bizarre. She has a TV in the makeup trailer that’s always on. It’s her only diva behavior – having The Cooking Channel on at all times in every room. KRISTEN: And you all reap the benefits. It was dismal times. It was long shoots. Taylor, I have one that I’m not going to say. Taylor can dance. He never wants to say it. He can move his hips better than I will ever dream. TAYLOR: That’s so not true! KRISTEN: He can move (laughs). ROBERT: That’s not nerdy. That’s awesome.

pick up the kid. They were different, because we had MacKenzie Foy who’s an amazing little kid, like the coolest kid I’ve ever met, smarter than me in a lot of ways. Then you have these other little girls who’d come in to play the younger version of MacKenzie. They’re all great awesome little kids. It’s just not to have them there every day. I’m awkward, I can’t handle that. Me and McKenzie were awesome, but I just couldn’t deal with it. I look ridiculous. They were bigger than me in some cases. ROBERT: Talking about the baby, we had an animatronic baby for one day. It was your scene where you had to be introduced to her. KRISTEN: In the book that was one of my favorite parts and then to know you’re not going to be looking at a real child. ROBERT: It’s Chucky from Child’s Play! KRISTEN: And the guy’s sweating under your eyeline, they get the hand up to touch your face and then it sticks to your hair and pulls a little bit. You’re like, ‘Ugh! Get that thing off me. Get me a baby, this is ridiculous.’ It had hair and it’s a newborn baby. I know that’s in the book and you can imagine how cool that would be. ROBERT: Or if you’ve ever seen a baby with a wig on. Or the trolls at the end of your pencil (laughs).

WHICH SCENE WERE YOU MOST NERVOUS ABOUT SHOOTING KNOWING YOU’VE GOT TO PULL THIS OFF? TAYLOR: I was pretty nervous about

imprinting. I had to walk on a wall on the verge of killing this baby, then stop, twist and imprint on it, whatever that means. Stop, twist and imprint. ROBERT: Jacob’s signature move. TAYLOR: It was challenging. I spent a lot of time talking to Bill and to Stephenie. Okay, what exactly does imprinting even look like? It was tough. I sure hope it comes across. ROBERT: Embarrassingly, the thing I was most nervous about was taking my shirt off. KRISTEN: At least he’s honest. That’s cool. ROBERT: So much of the books are about Edward’s body. I managed to avoid having to show it off in the whole series when in the book it’s almost every three pages. How can I swim? I’ll be wearing a t-shirt, or a onesy!

FINALLY, HOW DO YOU GUYS DEAL WITH THE MIDDLE AGED WOMEN WHO LOVE YOU? DOES IT CREEP YOU OUT? ROBERT: I’m not creeped out at all by it. I guess to be creeped out by it, you’d have to be creeped out by middle aged women in general which I’m not. Different strokes for different folks I guess. TAYLOR: No complaints here!

A WET DREAM?

We couldn’t believe our eyes when we came across this little gem! Ever wanted to fly like your favourite superhero or be in a scene from James Bond? Well now you can. This eye popping, jaw-dropping jetpack uses water through a downward pointing tube to propel the pilot into infinity and beyond. It has an altitude of 10 metres, top speeds of 35 km/h, and a cruising duration of one–two hours. Yippee!

this guy looks like he’s pooped himself!

The JetLev-Flyer is highly manoeuvrable, capable of performing turns as well as taking off, flying, hovering and landing. The contraption is propelled by water forced up through a hose by a boat-like pump that trails behind the pilot, containing a hefty fourstroke engine powering the whole shebang.

This gizmo has the benefit of a significantly longer flight time than other fuel-led jetpacks. This is due to the jetpack making the area it flies over its fuel supply. It simply sucks up water from the lake or sea beneath rather than taking a heavy fuel load up into the air with it. Okay, so the yellow hose dangling below is a bit of a bummer, as it means the rider is slightly held back and technically has contact with the water, but come on… how much fun would this be! If only we had £115,000. Oh well we can dream!

ONE-TO-ONE

The Portsmouth born king of cabaret noir lets Mayhem! enter his boudoir at the Kings Theatre prior to the House of Burlesque last month. ence with Joe Black manages to entice the audi o, accordion pian eal his menacing songs like a surr ely followe d and ukulele jug gling pied piper, clos rsial. by anyone with a tast e for the cont rove s and Tonight is the last peg on his ‘Sex , Drug ty pret ing look Vaudeville Tour’, so Joe is suit case knackered as he begins to unpack his in rushed preparat ion for the show… How did you fit in at school? ? I was really shy and couldn’t talk to anyone. Then I got into the alternative thing and was seen as the freak, which carried on into college. When I got into music it helped, but I still cared too much about what people thought. Then about three years ago I thought, ‘F**k it, if they don’t like me then why should I care? Life is too short and I’m going to die one day.’ And it’s liberating, really liberating.

Tell us about the evolution of Joe Black ? When I started I played the Synth and it only developed when I became more hands-on with my influences. I had more contact with the ‘actual’ cabaret world, rather than the ‘ideal’ in my head. Does performing run in your family? ? My uncle was a crazy man in a button suit that used to go to old peoples homes and play them old records on a gramophone attached to his wheelchair. So that’s as close as it gets.

What is it you like about cabaret?? I studied Media and Moving Image at college, so it’s the whole aesthetic that fascinates me. The 1920’s/30’s kind of Weimar, Berlin, Nazi cabaret is so appealing. Cabaret was at its peak in poverty, crisis or when people were oppressed. It was always more ‘banging for your buck’ and a political commentary at the time and I just love it. I suppose it’s the image, the vibe, this whole ‘come in and forget your worries’ thing. What are your thoughts about performers who do not make the effort visually? ? It’s infuriating. People pay to see a show, they don’t pay to watch people metaphorically masturbate with their instrument. I’m not asking bands to wear wigs and paint their faces, but at least make an effort!

To advertise in Mayhem! Magazine email us at: hello@mayhemmagazine.co.uk

Do you ever get bad reactions to your performance? ? Oh God yes! I was at a show in Edinburgh and this guy said: ‘I had to leave, you are one of the most disgusting untalented human beings I have ever had the displeasure of seeing’. So I just smiled. It’s not everyone’s taste and it’s not supposed to be, I want reactions. I would rather have half the audience hate me and half love me than have a whole audience go home saying ‘that was alright’. Do your songs have meaning behind them? I try to be true with my songs, even if it’s masked by some kind of offensive or dirty lyric, everything that I write has some kind of meaning to me. The ‘Soon I’m a Spinster’ song about growing old was inspired by a poem called ‘Warning’ by Jenny Joseph. It got me choked up on stage the first time I performed it. I do genuinely think I will go mental when I get old and die alone. Not in a ‘feel sorry for myself’ way, I’m at peace with it now. So what was your best memory on your current tour? ? Birmingham was beautiful. Great show and I got an email from a girl afterwards who said that I changed her life and that I made her feel safe. When I created the show I wanted to break down barriers, show people that you can be whoever you want to be. What is next for Joe Black? I’m going to Australia in November and back here at The Kings Theatre for my own solo show 22 January ‘Vile Volumes for Villainous Children’. www.misterjoeblack.com NOVEMBER 2011 | MAYHEM!

WRITTEN BY EMMA JOLLIFFE

STAYING ON TREND!

Has anyone else been feeling that familiar chill as they step out of their front door recently? That’s right ladies and gentlemen, autumn is upon us! The arrival of autumn may mean conker fights and dead looking trees to some, but for others autumn means A WHOLE NEW WARDROBE!

:FT UIF UJNF IBT DPNF UP EJTTFDU TPNF PG UIF USFOET UIBU XJMM CF IJUUJOH UIF IJHI TUSFFU JO " 8 One of the most popular, and most stylish trends for the ladies this year is men. Yes, men. Androgyny is fast hiking up the mountain of fashion credentials and this autumn it seems to have reached the peak. Think crisp shirts, low slung trousers, a pair of brogues and a mysterious face. The true ‘face’ of this trend seems to be controversial supermodel Andrej Pejic – he has walked at Fashion Week for both men and women’s lines. This sheer blouse from Topshop is one of the best ways to work a more feminine androgynous look – pairing it with a some skinny jeans and a pair of brogues will give you the perfect day time look! One of the easiest day-to-night looks this season, the androgyny trend is a classic look that seems to be becoming timeless. 30 MAYHEM! | NOVEMBER 2011

Another key trend this season is to be an animal. No, not literally BE an animal; but to wear one and before animal rights activists get involved, IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE REAL. Fur coats are everywhere this season (again) and the animal print is evolving and changing – think leopard print, snakeskin and even Dalmatian. The high street has also made it easy for those of us who are leaning towards to animal lover side; jumpers emblazoned with horses, dogs and deers mean you don’t have to look like you are carrying a dead bear on your back/ feet/neck. Check out H & M for some killer animal prints at a low price – this dress is a complete bargain and is perfect for this season – dress it up with some massive heels or dress it down with some thick tights!

Without taking EVERYTHING away from the actual garment, it should be noted that colour has a lot to do with how good something looks. For women and men, the tone and shade of their outfits can make the difference between looking cool and looking, well, not so cool. The 1940’s style seems to be making a big comeback and this, of course, means cutesy pastel colours. This trend nods more towards the females, but is a real sign of elegance and femininity. A lot of these pastel colours have been combined with a quirky Peter Pan collar – Miss Selfridge seem to be a big lover of these, with a wide range in store!

AND FINALLY SOMETHING FOR THE MEN. Obviously autumn calls for some autumnal colours; burgundy, teal, mustard and deep purple. All of these colours can be dressed up or down with a good pair of grey jeans, and for a wide variety of these ‘moody’ colours go to All Saints or River Island; they really are second to none for men’s high street clothing. This is just a snippet of what to wear this season – personally I can’t wait for Christmas so I can trawl the high street and find out what suits me best.

FEELING SICK?

THE TRUTH

BEHIND BEER BEFORE LIQUOR WRITTEN BY EDWARD COUZENS-LAKE

THE BEERY However… if you follow up the above mixture of alcoholic delights with a few shots of the harder stuff, bearing in mind that, up to then, you were drunk but reasonably bodily capable – then those shots are going to hurtle you way beyond the vomiting threshold much, much quicker than another pint of beer would have done…

MAYHEM FACT: Beer glasses are among the most common weapons of assault in Britain.

THE ANSWER Of course, if you had started the evening on the shorts, rather than the beers – then you would have been acutely more aware of just how swiftly drunk you were becoming and have, as a consequence, moderated your input – either staying on the spirits, or, in order to stop the room from revolving, moved onto orange juice. The ‘trick’ is, it seems, to start on the liquors first. By doing that, you get the nice little buzz that you are after a bit more quickly, and then, genius of the taproom that you are, can gently maintain it for the rest of the evening without ever having to get on all fours in the bathroom.

e lin e, We ’ve all he ar d th neve r r, “ Be er be fore Liquo fore be r be en sicke r… liquo r”. ea cl e be er , you ’re in th

an sw er Bu t is it true? Th e – is, we ll , yes , sort of are at th s on as re bu t for ing nk dri r you down to pref eren ce s…

THE THEORY WHY? The saying has probably come about because of the tradition to finish a wild evenings drinking with a few shorts. Of course, if you have imbibed about ten pints of beer before you take on the hard stuff, then it’s likely you were always going to end the evening throwing up anyway. However, the fact that you tossed back the JD last of all means that you are going to blame it for the resultant mess all over your trousers and shoes. 42 MAYHEM! | NOVEMBER 2011

Generally speaking, the quantity of alcohol you imbibe will always trump the mixture. You could, if you felt so inclined, throw back a beer, a shot, a glass of red wine and one of those pink things that comes complete with fruit and an umbrella – and leap out of bed at 6am the next morning feeling like Ironman… it’s a potent mixture after all, but the quantity is, well, not too unreasonable, so, volume wise, your system will, albeit with the odd grumble, pretty much be able to deal with it, as will you.

It’s always wise therefore,if you’re out on the razz, to start hard and gently ease yourself off, rather than starting with a ‘few’ beers and then going hard. That way you’re more inclined to enjoy your evening, your liver will be mightily appreciative and you might even be able to get up early the next morning.

THE BOTTOM (OF THE GLASS?) LINE Here’s an idea. You could forget the silly poems and the beery theory – and just not drink so much. Worth thinking about?

CROSSING THE LINE!

It’s clear that we are a species of primordial hunter gatherers, in need of food, drink and sex. Simples. Think of a night out, when the doors open circa 3am and you stumble onto the street, what are the two things, the two desires that take control? Food and Sex. Usually, if you’ve played your cards right, you’ve pretty much sorted the latter – now for kebabylon.

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS WRITTEN BY JOSH MOORE

44 MAYHEM! | NOVEMBER 2011

To advertise in Mayhem! Magazine call us on: 023 9229 4408

CROSSING THE LINE! But what if you’ve not sorted it? You stumble back to halls, and surprise surprise, you’ve forgot ten your keys. Bang away, and 10 minutes later, Jessica, the girl who lives two doors down from you in your PJ’s. You both know what ’s gonna happen. It ’s happened before and will happen again, probably next week when she’s completely bat tered on Thursday night. The good old, easy agreement that

It’s a bit like fight club, this agreement – you can never talk about it. I’m talking to my male compadres here – have any of you actually suggested to a recent lay the words ‘friends with benefits’?! It’s a definite guarantee of being shown the door. But we all know what’s going on. It’s an easy fix – nobody wants a relationship in these early, formative years away from home. When you get it right, it’s something based on pure, carnal, physical attraction designed to satisfy, with none of the usual relationship baggage to go along with it all. It’s gotta beat a ‘DIY’ session, right?

DILEMMA

I’ve plenty of buddies, with their own buddies. I’ve had buddies of my own, and the benefit part of this friendship usually fizzles out, and I’m lucky enough to have remained friends with a few of them. But I’ve also seen the ugly side of this blissful set up. I brought a (fairly handsome I might add) mate along to a semi kind of pub-crawl with my housemates. Everyone got on like a house on fire, and we were drinking away merrily, until one of the girls I live with (let’s call her Anne for the purposes of this story) abruptly upped and left us, without so much as a goodbye. Said friend (we’ll call him Steve) then, with a sly grin, announced his departure too. Cue us falling through the door two hours later, to find Steve coming out of the toilet with nothing on but a little pink towel. A bit of a surprise at first, sure, but we thought they had it under control, until Anne decided to get back with her boyfriend. One night I’d told Steve to meet me at mine to start the night with a few brewskis, I was running late, so I rang him and said someone should be in, ring the bell and I’ll be as quick as poss’. I didn’t realise it was just Anne and recently got back together bf in the house. Poor lad had to make conversation with them for what I’d imagine was an excruciating 20 minutes, until I came to save the day.

WANT TO BE MY SEX FRIEND? Maybe we should talk about it then. Lay it all out on the table, just so nobody gets hurt. Enjoy your friends, enjoy their sexy benefits, but remember not to take it all too seriously. If you’re not in it for the long haul, maybe mention it early on – that way you’re both on the same page and can go on with all that no strings fun which is all what anyone’s after anyway!

SOUTHGATE & LEIGH This romantic duo enchanted a crowd of Southgate & Leigh virgins with their acoustic motown/ska/soul tones. Phillipa Leigh and Phil Southgate met at an impromptu jam session at the Edinburgh Festival and began playing covers of Jazz, blues and soul on their return to London. The pair were passing through on a small tour of the south coast to promote their new album, Where We Are, which includes the single ‘Reena’ dubbed single of the week by Cosmopolitan earlier this year. Phil said: “We’re delighted to be here, Mayhem! Music was the instigator for our little south coast tour, which has been fantastic.” www.southgateandleigh.com

A GENUINE FREAKSHOW Recently returning from Reading and Leeds festival, A Genuine Freakshow are a ‘no front-man needed’ army of great musicians dressed in black. The ironic band name represents the ‘inner freakshow’ as this band don’t put on a show in the visual sense, instead they deliver an orchestral, rocky treat combining the standard rock set up with the addition of cello, violin and trumpet, which works beautifully to deliver a spine-tingling sound that will either send you to tears or lift your thoughts to a state of euphoria. This band need to be seen live to be believed. www.agenuinefreakshow.com.

ANALOGUE MANILOW Curious fans of The B of the Bang reveled in the hard-rock raw sound from this new side-project that didn’t disappoint. A hard-hitting sound that was in extreme contrast to the previous acts, added to the power of the three-piece, who delivered a new sound that cut the room like a blade. The build up from the mystery of the new collaboration added to the relief and enjoyment of the band live, so mysterious there is no website presence as of yet. However, their performance at Mayhem! Music is on YouTube so check it out!

IVYRISE

A band that could be described as Paramore invaded by P!NK, Fierce Monday kicked some ass at the Wedgewood Rooms demonstrating the raw talent here in Portsmouth. This local pop/rock band recently changed their name from God Send due to mistaken identity to Christian groups. Leading lady Fizz Reynolds strutted her musical stuff as usual, but the band explained before the show that their sound is much lighter now. Fizz was particular pleased to be supporting Community Fusion having does some volunteering herself when she was younger, she said: “I did the ‘being good neighbours’ for the Salvation Army. Although I think I wanted to talk more than the old people did”

A band with the tasty coating of a boy-band with a gritty rock underbelly, inspired by their recent album collaboration with renowned producer, Jason Perry (Kids in Glass Houses, The Blackout). Ivyrise stopped off at Portsmouth as a warm-up to their Album tour in October. Ivyrise founder and front-man, Ben Falinski, grew up in Portsmouth so it was a particularly prominent moment to headline at the Wedgewood Rooms in support of such a worthy local cause for the city. Ben said: “By organising this event, Mayhem! Magazine has already shown their commitment to the local community and we’re happy to get involved with their first event”. The band is now on tour to promote their new album, find out where you can see them live at:

Michael Jackson dominated the musical scene of the 1980’s. His Thriller album (1982) remains, with around 110 million sales, the biggest selling album of all time. Its spectacular fusion of music and dance is still cited as a major creative influence by many contemporary artists and was a true ‘crossover’ work, enjoyed across the cultural and colour divide.

THE DON INVESTIGATES…

PUNK SUNK

TIGHT JEANS

One of the biggest British bands of the decade was Dire Straits. It could be argued that the presence of any of their albums in your CD collection today might indicate that their name suggests the state of your musical tastes, with their somewhat over indulgent leanings and naive lyrics no longer compatible with today’s more energetic offerings. However, their Brothers In Arms album was the first CD to sell over a million copies and offered the track Money For Nothing which was the first video to be shown on MTV Europe.

Just as Punk Rock saw off the Cock rock came to the fore in the dinosaurs of progressive rock 80’s with the unfeasibly hairy Jon in the 70’s, so the youth culture Bon Jovi and the band he modestly of New Romanticism dealt named after himself. They the death blow were a marketing man’s for Punk in the dream, created to fill the early 80’s. It was perceived gap where no typified by bands traditional ‘rock’ band such as ABC, currently stood, with Culture Club, their genius in pouting, Duran Duran and posturing, preening Visage; bands led and scratching the eyes by men who were out of their Swedish more than in touch rivals, the woeful e g r o with their feminine Europe coming way e b oy g sides and not afraid above any actual to show it. Cue musical ability. Duran-man Simon Le Bon and his alarming range of drastic hair do’s (Le Bon was the role model for men who preferred going to the hairdresser to the barber) while Boy George, appearing on Top of the Pops for the first time with Culture Club in 1982 had the nation wondering if he was a boy or a girl. His high pitched warbling of the bands first hit, Do You Really Want To Hurt Me? enraged the critics of his androgynous fashion sense and taste for cosmetics so much, that the overwhelming answer for many was ‘yes!’.

FRANKIE SAYS...

SEEN THE VIDEO?

Read Mayhem! Well he would have. The Frankie Says t-shirt was a brief but explosive fashion statement of the time, worn in tribute of the band Frankie Goes To Hollywood, whose first single, Relax was banned by the BBC. It consequently reached number 1, making the band, briefly, the biggest thing in British music. Their follow up single, Two Tribes was an immediate number 1 (this at a time when you didn’t have to sell 11 copies to do so), staying there for nine weeks. Frankie Says… Look How Wealthy We Are.

The decade was a massive one for the promo video, with one of the more lavish being that which accompanied Vienna, the massively sprawling hit for Ultravox. Artistically, it is still worth viewing today (check YouTube) and it’s worth noting that, at the time, Ultravox’s record company so underrated band and video, that they refused to finance it! The finished effort cost just £7,000 – small change in comparison to the several trillion dollars it costs to make Jo Lo look and sound good in her videos today.

50 MAYHEM! | NOVEMBER 2011 Another science bit – pins and needles is called Parasthesia. It happens because there is a blockage of blood flow to a pressed nerve. So, for example – sitting in the same position for too long might cut off the circulation to a certain part of your body. That part of the body will eventually become numb and the tingly feeling that results is pins and needles!

WHY DO WE GET ‘PINS AND NEEDLES’?

WRITTEN BY EDWARD COUZENS-LAKE

EXPLAINED...

FUNCTIONS

ODD BODILY

It’s down to enzymes again! Onions contain an enzyme that produces a gas called (science bit coming) Propanethial Sulfoxide. This gas escapes into the air when you brutally murder the onion with your knife where, eventually, it reaches the eyes. When it does that, the chemical reaction causes a mild sulphuric acid to be produced – which your brain instantly sees as an aggressive invader. It responds by releasing excess tears – the aim being to dilute and nullify the effects of the acid on your peepers.

WHY DO WE CRY WHEN WE ARE CHOPPING ONIONS?

Within the deepest recesses of your stomach and small intestine are enzymes that break down simple carbohydrates – fruit for example. Baked beans, however, contain rather more obstinate carbohydrates that aren’t broken down so easily – so they travel further down into your gut, semidigested, until they’re eventually consumed by bacteria. That bacteria exudes gas as a by-product... which your body disperses as...yes, you’ve got it!

WHY DO BAKED BEANS MAKE US FART?

But of course, they do go back to normal – eventually. The reason they take on this look is all to do with the outer layer of oil on your skin which is called sebum. It’s there to protect and lubricate our skin, as well as keep water out – so if you didn’t have any, your skin would go pale and soggy every time you as much as washed your hands. However, we only have a limited amount of sebum on our hands at any one time – and, once your indulgent soak has washed it all away, water gets in and your skin becomes waterlogged – more in some parts than others, hence the wrinkles. This excess water eventually dissipates and the sebum levels return to normal, along with your fingers.

Horrors! You’re soaking in the tub, a hot date is pending – and your fingers have gone pale, wrinkled and aged about 50 years – and there’s no way you’re going out looking like that!

WHY ARE MY FINGERS WRINKLY AFTER I’VE BEEN IN THE BATH FOR A LONG TIME?

Goose bumps can break out as a consequence of cold, fear – or, if you’re lucky, sexual excitement. The scientific word for goose bumps is Piolerection – and yes, that’s basically what they are, loads and loads of little skin erections . These are caused when the tiny muscles at the base of each and every body hair contract in response to those outside stimuli... causing the consequent ‘bumps’, or erections on the surface of your skin.

WHAT CAUSES GOOSE BUMPS?

ORANGE JUICE FOR ME!

LIBIDO The toxins that build up in your body as you puff away contribute to feelings of lethargy. Even after just one cigarette, the body’s ability to function decreases which means even getting, let alone sustaining, an erection becomes a problem. And it doesn’t just affect the men – the associated agitation that accompanies smoking can also prohibit the sex organs from producing lubrication – one of the most common side effects of smoking. Lack of lubrication just where it’s most needed can cause sex to be very painful – that’s if your partner can manage to rise to the occasion in the first place.

DEAD HAIR, DEAD NAILS

THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW... ABOUT PARTYING AND YOUR BODY! Ye s, w e all k now that your decision mak abilit ie s are ing hindered by dr in king , bu t did you k now th es e fact s abou t how all that hard living an d hard part yi ng can af fect your g ood lo ok s?

BLOTCHY SKIN As you drink your way to oblivion (thus becoming the wittiest, most attractive and interesting person that you know), the alcohol that you have imbibed dilates your blood vessels, causing areas on your body to appear red and blotchy – hence bloodshot eyes! While this usually goes away with the hangover, continued and consistent exposure can lead to more permanent damage – such as deteriorated uneven skin tone and flushed patches all over. 52 MAYHEM! | NOVEMBER 2011

WRINKLES Alcohol and smoking can be a devastating combination – just look at Keith Richard. These effects won’t show up straight away but, over time, they will cause your skin to become tough, dry and as wrinkly as a dried up old chamois leather. Smoking, more so than alcohol, determines how many and how crevasse-like the wrinkles your partner will wake up to in 20 years time.

Long before a lifetime of boozing and puffing sees you take a permanent vacation in a nice, little wooden hotel, it starts to stealthily hinder your bodys ability to absorb the vitamins and minerals that it needs to stay healthy – and, before long, your hair and nails will start to become brittle and dry as a consequence – with other ‘bits’ to follow. An early warning maybe?

FAT One gram of alcohol is seven calories! Thus alcohol is the silent, unheralded assassin of the weight gain world, far more hazardous to hips and bellies than bread, rice, pasta – indeed, any of the dreaded Atkins’ carbohydrates. And guess what? You can’t just ‘burn it off’ on the dance floor. Alcohol cannot be directly used by the muscles, so it travels into the bloodstream where it needs to be metabolised – timely and inefficient, and leading to the infamous beer belly. As for ‘aperitifs’ – simply a ploy employed by bar and restaurant owners to encourage their patrons to order and consume large portions of food – alcohol is a very potent appetizer, so, before you know it, a simple wine and cheese evening might swiftly turn into a fast food binge!

SUPER COOL!

‘SuperCool Cinema’ is part of a cultural movement incorporating live music, talks and activities, offering more to the cinema goers experience than just a film and some adverts. The first event is a screening of seminal anime ‘Akira’ on Thursday 17th November at the Discovery Centre in Winchester Library. The evening features five original episodes of Aeon Flux, each with a live electronic soundtrack. Well worth a visit! How did the idea behind ‘SuperCool’ come about? It’s predominantly come from a love of cinema. Several of us have been thinking for a while how we’d like to put film nights on, so now it’s time to give it a go. The success of the soundtracking event we put on as part of the Winchester Film Festival in May gave us the push we needed.

What should interested punters expect from a ‘SuperCool’ event? It’s all about giving people something extra. When you normally go to the cinema, you go in, buy your popcorn, watch loads of adverts, watch the film, and then leave. ‘SuperCool’ is about making more of an event out of seeing a film. You’ll get a classic/ cult feature, plus something extra, whether it’s a double-bill, a short film or two, guest speakers, or in the case of our first event on Thursday 17 November at the Winchester Discovery Centre, live soundtracking to some anime. If they want to, punters can spend some time chatting about what they’ve watched and listened to, whether its during the interval or after the film.

Are you able to tell us what

We are utterly delighted to confirm that we have ‘Akira’ as our main feature on November 17th, one of the greatest examples of animation ever made and one of the most influential science fiction films ever. We’ll be confirming the rest of the bill soon, so keep an eye out!

Could you tell us a little selection process? With our first event, it’s definitely a case of ‘put something on that you would want to see yourself’, or more accurately ‘put something on which would make you leap out of your seat and run up and down the road shrieking about how amazing it’s going to be’. The main film and the supporting short film/musical accompaniment have to complement each other, but not necessarily in the most obvious ways.

soundtrack. We’ll then have a listen and decide if it could fit into future events as and when they happen. As long as our first event on November 17 goes well, then we’ll be planning maybe half a dozen a year, not all of which will be featuring a live music element. So bands mustn’t be offended if at the end of all their hard work we say ‘no go’. But we’ve found that planning a live soundtrack will invariably push bands in new and exciting directions – it’s an incredibly liberating experience, even if you don’t get to play a ‘SuperCool Cinema’ night at the end of it.

vision for the fusion of

Given the success of the recent soundtracking event It would be fun to make the short film at the Railway Inn, do you feel that there is a market that you’re soundtracking, I guess for this kind of event? that’s a potential step forward. Are your events open to Potentially. At the EjectorSeat festival in Southampton in May they had some amazing stuff from local film-makers, I’d love to work with some of them in the not too distant future. In regards to the music, we’d be interested in hearing from bands who are really up for it.

What is the submission process for work? Bands would need to find 15–20 minutes worth of visuals (preferably complete narratives like short films as opposed to clips from feature films), and then spend plenty of time preparing, practising, rehearsing, and then ideally recording themselves performing their

There’s a market for it, without a doubt, but I doubt it’s something people will want to see week after week. But if it’s done well, and spread out, I think people will come back again and again.

a long term plan for SuperCool, and do you see the possibility for expansion in the short/long term future? There are a few directions we’d like to take this, and the potential for touring it up and down the country is definitely there. We certainly won’t be counting cinematic chickens before they hatch though, but we’ll be thinking of all the scrummy audio-visual omelettes we can make. To find out more go to supercoolcinema.co.uk or check us out on Facebook.

The event starts at 7.30pm, tickets are just £5 and include a years membership to the ‘SuperCool Cinema Club.’ To advertise in Mayhem! Magazine email us at: hello@mayhemmagazine.co.uk

WRITTEN BY MIA HABENS

THE DRINKS Guys: Order yourself a beer if it’s all going well. Order a scotch if you’d rather be skinny-dipping in a pool full of syringes than spend another second with this girl. Order her the strongest drink on the menu, regardless – then order a few more.

THE RIDE THE PICKUP Guys: Women require an insane amount of energy, so you’re best served by storing some up and bypassing the unbearably long walk to the front door and clichĂŠd escort to the car. A simple honk will do wonders. Besides... girls are always talking about getting more exercise right? Gals: When the guy honks from his cheap, rusty, first-car banger, that’s your cue to start applying make-up and finishing your hair. Nothing says ‘classy woman’ like keeping a guy waiting. Don’t worry about him... he’s probably playing video games on his iPhone. 62 MAYHEM! | NOVEMBER 2011

Guys: Show your alpha male dominance by blaring your music so loud that your date can’t even hear herself thinking about how you look. If you’re forced to make conversation, talk about politics... or the sexual positions you plan to try out with her later. Either way, both topics are sure to shut her up. Gals: Use this time to thoroughly judge the guy on everything from his hairdo to his taste in music. When he makes a lame joke about some politician, respond with a cute giggle and flutter your eyelashes. That should steer his mind toward sex and give you a free moment to text your mates about the sale on at Debenhams.

THE MEAL Guys: Even though your still annoyed that she wouldn’t agree to the fine cuisine at the local pub, make nice and compliment her on her dress as she tucks into the salad she inevitably ordered. Be sure to do this as the blood from your steak drips down your chin. Gals: Take tiny bites from your salad plate. Dab your lips with your napkin. Excuse yourself to the bathroom. Repeat.

Gals: Sip your blue, pink and orange concoction with seven cherries, straw and umbrella slowly. When pressed by your date for another round – cautiously accept and make sure he doesn’t try and spike your drink.

THE GOODBYE Guys: Magically transform into a perfect gentleman. Walk her to her door and pray that all those Long-Island-apple-sourmartinis have loosened her up enough to consider sleeping with you tonight. Gals: Quickly consider what would please you better tonight: him or your vibrator.

So read on to find out where Jenson hangs out in between races and how many driving tests he failed before getting behind the wheel officially!

PUSH THE BUTTON

DO YOU HAVE ANY PRE-RACE RITUALS OR SUPERSTITIONS? I always get into the car from the right-hand side. Don’t ask me why; it’s something I’ve always done and I’m not about to change it now. If I’m standing on the left of the car, I’ll walk all the way around to the right and step into the cockpit from there. OTHER THAN LEWIS, WHICH FORMULA ONE DRIVER PAST OR PRESENT WOULD BE YOUR IDEAL TEAM-MATE? James Hunt. He would have been great fun to have as a team-mate because the parties would have been phenomenal! I’m told he was very quick as well. 66 MAYHEM! | NOVEMBER 2011

WHO WAS YOUR HERO GROWING UP? Alain Prost. He wasn’t called the professor for nothing; he thought a lot about his racing. I liked his approach and I liked the way that he dealt with Ayrton Senna. WHAT ARE YOUR TOP THREE FORMULA ONE TRACKS? Suzuka is my number one circuit. It’s just awesome. The first sector has some very high-speed changes of direction, through which you’re literally hanging on in the car. Monaco isn’t an enjoyable track to drive, but it’s such an phenomenal challenge that it’s incredibly satisfying when you get it right.

As a result, you have to place it right up there among the best. Then there’s Spa. It’s got some great corners and it’s also very long. Up at Les Combes, you feel a long way from the pits.

To advertise in Mayhem! Magazine call us on: 023 9229 4408

PUSH THE BUTTON WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD? Sushi and anything Japanese. I love it! IF YOU HAD A STEREO IN YOUR CAR, WHAT WOULD YOU BE PLAYING DURING A RACE? I like the atmosphere of live music so anything live would be great. I do like dance music but I also like British alternative music.

DO YOU FEEL ANY DIFFERENT WHEN YOU RACE AT THE BRITISH GRAND PRIXS COMPARED TO ANYWHERE ELSE? You always feel different racing at your home grand prix and I am very lucky to have three of them at Silverstone, Monaco and Japan. WHAT WOULD BE YOUR ADVICE FOR STARTING A CAREER IN MOTOR RACING? Most of the top drivers start their careers in karting so I would really recommend going to your local karting track and getting involved as soon as possible. The most important thing is to enjoy yourself and have fun. HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU PASSED YOUR DRIVING TEST? I was 17 but it did take me two attempts!

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE BIGGEST CHANGE IN FORMULA ONE WILL BE IN 10 YEARS TIME? I believe that we will continue to develop the green technology that is being introduced into F1 at the moment and the cars will be very environmentally friendly. I also expect that a lot more of the technology that we use in F1 will be passed onto road cars. WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR SCARIEST MOMENT AS A RACING DRIVER AND DID IT EVER PUT YOU OFF RACING? I would say that it was my crash coming out of the tunnel in Monaco in 2003 but it didn’t put me off racing at all. The FIA has made sure that safety is paramount and I fully trust the car to protect me in the event of a big accident. WHERE DO YOU GO ON YOUR HOLIDAYS? The south of France is just my favourite place in the world so I spend as much time as possible there.

WHAT DO YOU DO TO RELAX AFTER THE RACE? I have a massage from the physio to relax me after driving, then it’s usually time to leave the circuit, head off home or the to the next race.

IN FORMULA ONE, IS IT THE CARS OR THE DRIVERS THAT MAKE THE MOST DIFFERENCE? All of the drivers in F1 are right at the top of their game and the best of the business. So very often it can be having the right car and also the right team at the right time that makes the difference. WOULD YOU EVER CONSIDER TRYING TO BEAK THE LAND SPEED RECORD? No, those guys are crazy! I went to Bonneville salt flats when the team were doing our Bonneville 400 challenge out there in 2006. It’s an amazing place and I have so much respect for the courage of those drivers. IF YOU HAD TO PICK ANOTHER SPORT TO GO INTO WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY? I’ve only ever really been interested in motor racing but I do enjoy cycling and this forms quite a large part of my fitness programme so I would probably choose cycling – I’m not sure how good I would be though!

WHAT TYPE OF DIET DO YOU FOLLOW FOR MAXIMUM RACE FITNESS? When I’m training, then I usually eat a lot of protein and not too much carbohydrates. Now and then I do have desserts, you have to enjoy your food and provided I’m training well, then I’m not too concerned.

WHAT OTHER FORMS OF RACING WOULD YOU LIKE? I’d like to drive some bog V8s. Like a V8 super car in Australia or Nascar in America, but not yet. So, once again, we thank the team at McLaren and www.JensonButton.com and wish them the best of luck in the last few races of the season.

The catwalk shows will feature Daisy’s two fashion lines: the unconventional, stand-out collection, Dumpster Couture, and her eccentric, readyto-wear selection, Dumpster Apparel. Daisy, aged 20, who lives in Emsworth, has always been fascinated by how

you can take things that might otherwise be thrown away and use them to create a thing of beauty. Her Dumpster Couture line does just that – whether made from table cloths, old train tickets or discarded promo flyers, each piece is a work of art in itself.

“The two lines couldn’t be more different,” explains Daisy. “The Apparel range features one-off, highly bespoke pieces that are totally wearable.” “The Couture collection, inspired to tackle today’s throw-away mentality, is an eco-friendly approach to fashion with the result being unconventional and eye-catching one-offs that are quirky and lots of fun!”

YOU SUFFER FROM THE ‘STARES’

YOU’RE SPENDING TIME WITH ONLINE LADIES No, not like that! But if you spend more time with Lara Croft than actual women there is something wrong. Lots of people enjoy video games, but if you’re some kind of lothario in the online world you need to get out more. CGI girlfriends don’t count..

Smiling is great... everyone likes a smile. Not everyone likes uninterrupted eye contact for an entire lecture though. I’m sure you’ve just been bewitched by her angelic beauty and mean her no harm, but if a girl catches you staring you’re no better than flasher who’s been stalking the campus recently. Periodic glances means you’re interested, constant glaring means you’ve got duck tape and a shovel in your boot.

YOU HAVE A BAD CASE OF THE YOU’RE A ‘CALL ‘EMS’ CONSTANT So, you’ve finally met VICTIM OF CHEATING a girl who seems to be interested in you for more than just copying your notes. She actually agrees to go on a date and it all seems to be going well. As soon as you get home you make a mad dash for the phone... stop! Premature is a word you don’t want to be associated with you and that goes for calling too. Let her stew for a while.

Telling girls about your previous run-ins with deceitful harpies is practically giving them a free-pass to do the same. And you’ve just given away all the ways we’ll get caught too. We’re like wolves – we can smell fear and insecurity a mile off. If you’re weak we’ll choose to mate with the bigger and stronger boys.

YOU’LL DO ANYTHING FOR HER This doesn’t mean you’re a gentleman... this means you’re a mug. Yes we like affection and respect, but we need to work for it, otherwise it’s just too easy. Give us an inch and we’ll take a mile, leave you there and go home with the mysterious, brooding type instead.

PLOT BRIGHT SPARK!

SPOILER WRITTEN BY CHRIS WALSH

An upcoming Doctor Who Adventure Game retells the events of 1605, with Ralf Little voicing Guy Fawkes and co-starring Emilia Fox (Silent Witness) and Phil Daniels (Eastenders and Blur’s Parklife). As The Doctor and his companions, players must face both the warring religious factions of Britain and warring aliens the Sontarans and the Rutans. The creators promise a much more immersive and sophisticated game and it will be accompanied by BBC Learning resources for use in schools.

If you don ’t want to know why then look away now… Guy Fawkes, wittily called ‘the only man ever to enter Parliament with honest intentions’, is also the only man whose historical failure we celebrate with explosions. And what a failure. Along with 12 other Catholic co-conspirators (so 13 of them in total, which can’t have helped), Fawkes planned to blow up the Protestant King James the First and his government at the opening of Parliament. They had more than 30 barrels of gunpowder ready to explode and it was Guy’s job to light the fuse. 72 MAYHEM! | NOVEMBER 2011

The Gunpowder Plot is such a compelling story that it’s regularly portrayed in the media. A BBC mini-series saw Michael Fassbender play Guy Fawkes opposite Robert Carlyle as King James the First and a Derek Acorah documentary had the medium retrace the plotters’ footsteps. Even if you’ve not seen either of those, you’re probably familiar with Guy Fawkes’ face, thanks to internet pranksters/ hacking collective Anonymous. They’ve popularised the wearing of stylised Fawkes masks based on designs from the graphic novel V for Vendetta. When the film adaptation meant real masks were made, web activists wanting to hide their identities used them, inspired by the anarchist actions of the book’s anti-hero.

Everything would have gone to plan, except that an anonymous warning letter was sent, alerting the authorities. Fawkes was caught and tortured, eventually naming his fellow plotters, many of whom had, by then, been arrested and executed. In celebration that the plot was foiled, church bells were rung and bonfires and fireworks lit.

Kids probably already know a little about the Plot thanks to Horrible Histories, which has a great sketch called Fawkes’ 13. It hilariously spoofs the trailer for heist movie Ocean’s Eleven, with one of the best lines - ‘What idiot sent a letter?!’ – referring to the theory that they were betrayed by the last-recruited plotter, Francis Tresham. If you’re going to celebrate Bonfire Night this year, remember to keep safe by following the Firework Code, and by keeping pets indoors.

FLORENCE Ahh, Florence. Pronounced ‘flo-rent-zhee-ah’ if you want to sound cultured. The jewel of Italian culture, an artistic icon of a city with spires and domes to make Oxford weep. Beautiful foods, wines, scenery and people – Italians have a knack of making you feel and look inadequate! The University of Florence can trace its origins back to 1321 with Civil Law, Literature and Medicine among the original disciplines taught. The main faculties at the university today are Agriculture; Arts; Economics; Education; Law; Engineering; Mathematics; Physical and Natural Sciences; Medicine and Surgery; Pharmacy; and Political Science. Though whether or not you’d actually do any studying, what with all that clubbing, eating and drinking to get done is another matter!

AMSTERDAM The most laid back city in Europe? Probably. Teeming with culture and history there’s no better place to go for a veritable feast of new and extremely pleasurable experiences for both the physical body and the mind – usually both at once! Amsterdam has two research universities, the Universiteit van Amsterdam and the Vrije Universiteit. Both offer a wide variety of study disciplines, many of which are taught in English. Amsterdam also has schools that provide vocational training known as Hogescholen, which not only offer BA/BSc degrees as well as post-grad opportunities.

As with all things, it’s always important to remember that the world doesn’t begin and end in your own backyard. Students from all over the world have been attending UK universities for longer than anyone can remember. What do they know about studying abroad that we don’t? 74 MAYHEM! | NOVEMBER 2011

And it needn’t be financially impossible to study there either. Harvard regards itself as a global university, attracting the best and brightest from across the world and, crucially, extending its intake beyond affluent America. Since 2002, it has instituted a ‘needs blind’ recruitment policy – in other words, if you’re accepted on academic grounds, the university will commit to paying whatever it takes to get you there – so no debts when you graduate! Students opting to study in the US also cite the much greater flexibility of their system as another attraction. Economics students, for example, can opt to take peripheral classes in such disciplines as humanities and languages.

Certainly, much as we’d like to think so, it isn’t because our colleges and universities are academically superior – maybe, just maybe, it’s because of the challenge of the change and the opportunity to step out and away from predictable routine.
