Creeeeeak… the first door of the advent calendar opens and out pops a special treat – it’s the December issue of The Student Magazine!

SHEFFIELD

Director Hussain Shafique Editor Kate Hobson

We’re packed with festive frivolities this month, including a whole lot of Christmas cheer in the shape of our Gift Guide to solve all your present conundrums, and our alternative 12 Days of Christmas (no geese a-laying here). But that’s not all that’s packed in our stocking; we had a gossip with blonde babe Sarah from ITV2’s addictively good ‘Girlfri3nds’, plus Capital FM report back on their celeb-filled Christmas lights switch on at Meadowhall, and we’ve complied the ultimate Property feature to assist you house hunters on all the best places for next year.

Of course we also have all your faves – reviews, Studentstrology, fashion, blogs, gadgets… the list goes on. And, of course, flip over to find our Chinese version.

Sub Editor Josie Li

Prepare your tinsel and jump in for a bauble-filled fest of festive frolics – have a fabulous Christmas and see you in the New Year!

As you read this, you’re probably thinking that this is just an ordinary student magazine. Packed full of fascinating snippets of editorial, reviews, gossip and competitions, of course, but there’s not anything too mind-blowing about that.

Look a bit closer, however, and you’ll discover that this particular issue holds something just a little bit more unique within its pages.

With this first issue of the new academic year, The Student Magazine launches Fully Augmented Reality, a way of adding virtual little extra treats to the paper pages themselves.

As one of the first magazine companies within the Yorkshire area to bring this to the student population, we’re excited to be on the frontline of new media – and you lucky readers are some of the first in the UK to be treated to this!

‘But what exactly is this reality stuff?’, I hear you ask. It’s simple - the technology brings the pages to life via your very own smartphone. It’s easy to get to grips with - simply follow these points:

1. Download the free ‘Layar’ app 2. Open app 3. Hover your phone over a participating page in the magazine as it scans the page 4. Discover various buttons popping up on your screen, which could be anything from a link to a website, to a Facebook page, video clip or even an exclusive reader offer

Your reading experience will never be the same as we bring print bang up to date, allowing you to get fully involved in our features and adverts, discovering much more than what you simply see on the page.

All that’s left to do is welcome you to our extra special pages and invite you to jump in with both feet – get scanning and who knows what you might discover?

Tickets are cheap and cheerful at only £3.85 and if you contact the events team in advance you can arrange a deal on tickets for your club or society. Reindeer antlers and santa hats are going to be given out for free and there are bound to be a few people in seasonal fancy dress, starting Christmas off early. Expect all the best student anthems played across two rooms all night and go to the pre-bar at Bar One before to really get you in the party mood. Most people’s assessments should be over until after Christmas so a celebration is in order!

Jim McLaine’s Bar One Quiz Night Jim Mclaine’s Quiz night @ Bar One, Thursdays, 9pm Every Thursday in December from 9pm is Pop Tarts legend Jim McLaine, with the Bar One Quiz! The winning team gets an amazing £50 prize which could definitely help you and your friends have a good night out afterwards.

Christmas Concert Christmas Concert, 7th December It’s finally December so the good news is that it is officially ok to start getting excited for Christmas. The nights are getting colder and you’ve heard enough holiday music to drive you crazy, so why not go and experience the more traditional side to this season with a Christmas concert?

The Medics Orchestra put on a show every year and will be performing all your favourite festive classics and carols. Tickets are only £3 for students and you get free mince pies and wine in the interval.

There’s no need to stray away from University this Month - with so much going on you’d be a fool to leave the comfort of the union...

HALLAM UNIVERSITY Rag Week Rag Week, 3rd – 9th December Rag Week is back again this year, packed full of exciting activities to help raise money for charity. Every wanted to bungee jump? Now’s your chance for just £50 donated to RAG, or if that sounds like your worst nightmare, then why not take part in a dance off? One event planned called Lost will blindfold you and take you to an unknown location from where you will have to find your way back; a fun activity designed to test your sense of direction. And if all that sounds like a bit too much there is always the sleepover at the Hubs on the Friday of Rag Week, planned to help raise awareness of homelessness in Sheffield. Get your sleeping bags at the ready for a night full of entertainment and food, all for an excellent cause.

Christmas Fair and Show Tickets £2, 9th December 3pm-9pm in the Hubs will be a wonderful Christmas fair, with the chance to visit many different stalls, sample some festive fancies and take part in some Christmas themed fundraising.

There will be also plenty of information provided about upcoming events and opportunities through the Rag committee. Expect a Christmas show from 7-8pm put on by the societies committee, bound to be worth watching! Tickets are only £2 and all proceeds go to Rag. A brilliant, chilled out event to start making you feel Christmassy this December.

Lincoln Christmas Market

Recommends

Lincoln Christmas Market, 8th December f you haven’t already visited Lincoln then this is your chance; it really is an enchanting place full of history, culture and it is bound to make you feel ready for the festive season. The lovely city, with its beautiful cathedral, medieval square and ancient castle, around this time of year plays host to over 250 stalls making up the Christmas market. A ticket for this event costs £12 for travel and is a great way to spend some recreational time away from University. Mulled wine and minced pies will be plentiful and it’s an excellent time to start your Christmas shopping away from the hustle and bustle of Meadowhall.

Capital FM Backstage Gossip Each month Adam O’Neill brings us all the celeb-packed news and gossip from 105 Capital FM HQ. He’s on Capital across Yorkshire every afternoon between 4-7pm!

Am I allowed to say it yet?

HAPPY CHRISTMAS! This month it’s all about the backstage gossip at the big gig we threw at Meadowhall for 15,000 people as their lights got turned on for Christmas 2012!

My show came live from backstage, and I spoke to all the artists before they headed out to the screams…

The Wanted didn’t want to talk about anything other than Jess Ennis - I let slip that she was coming on stage as a surprise guest, and Max’s eyes immediately lit up! “Jess Ennis is well fit!

Buzzing that she’s here”!

The Lawson boys were performing too, and announced that they’d be coming back

14.

www.thestudentmag.co.uk

to Sheffield next year on their ‘Chapman Square’ tour – playing the 02 Academy in February 2013. Local lad Ryan let slip it was really weird to be doing a gig at Meadowhall, having spent pretty much every weekend of his teenage years shopping there! I asked him what he loved about Sheffield and he divulged, “Mum’s cooking, friends and Meadowhall – and this concert is by far the most exciting thing to ever happen in a car park”!

Misha B, who’d just finished touring with Nicki Minaj the night before, was buzzing doing one of her final gigs before she headed off to America to finish her album.

She was also spotted backstage riding round on a kid’s scooter… Misha B don’t walk!

I caught up with her about

her album and she promised we should be hearing it in March 2013. She was heading back to America to finish the album and was hoping that it will be all complete in time for Christmas.

And perhaps the biggest moment of the night was the surprise performance from Lucy Spraggan – as her very first public appearance since leaving The XFactor, it was like her homecoming, and the crowd went crazy for her!

She performed the ‘Beer Fear’ tune and also an exclusive never-heard-before song called ‘Safe’, which she hinted would be released next year. I grabbed Lucy as she came off stage and she gasped, “That was the most amazing 10 minutes of my life”!

SARAH TAYLOR From

Girlfri3nds

Every girl wants to meet their prince, but the dating world is one fraught with kissing a few too many frogs. Cue ‘Girlfri3nds’, ITV2’s hit series whereby three girls meet 100 boys, choose six to date and narrow down their choices to just one lucky guy.

Single girls Sarah, Laura and Amy took part in the show, each finding a guy each – Sarah chose suave footballer Danny, Laura favoured the handsome Frenchman Ken and Amy picked cheeky Charlie. We caught a few minutes with local Sheffield lass, Sarah Taylor, for some cheeky goss about the show and to find out what happened next.

How did you get involved in the show?

Basically they kind of came to me. I’d seen this thing on this website, and it said, ‘Could you date loads of men?’, and I just had a laugh, I’d had a drink that night and I was like, what woman wouldn’t want to date a hundred guys?

And then I just put like a smiley face and a row of kisses!

I never sent anything off saying I want to be involved in the show, I never applied for it, and they were just like, ‘oh yeah, we need to see you’, so I went down to London and that’s how it happened.

So you didn’t know Laura and Amy before you started the show?

Oh no, the first time we met was on camera.

Wow really, on the show you looked like you got on really well, really close friends. So do you still talk to them?

Yeah, I talk to them every day and I see them every week, we do PAs and stuff, so we’re all over the place at the minute with stuff.

So you’re really busy after the show? You came to Sheffield last Tuesday?

Yeah, we did a PA at Viper Rooms, and then I’m absolutely everywhere, I was in Newcastle on Sunday with the guys from Geordie Shore, you know, Gaz and that other guy, Scott, and they were right good fun!

Did you think you would find the love of your life through the show?

I didn’t go into the show with any expectations whatsoever, you know I never really expected anything from it, I just thought; it’s a different way to meet a hundred guys isn’t it? And I think it’s a bit cliché meeting guys in bars, it was just a good laugh and I thought, why not, go for it, have it!

Did you find the process difficult, to narrow down your guys to one?

Oh, yeah!

Why did you choose Danny over everyone else?

I think it’s just the fact that I got along with him better, I kind of had a bit of a connection with Danny.

Was it really awkward having to play out your dates in front of the camera? Do you think it made a difference?

Yes, especially that one with Mitch, I felt really, really, really bad, and then I said to him, ‘Oh, will we be friends and stuff’, and he was like, ‘Oh no no no, I don’t want anything to do with you’! He pulled his camera off and everything, he said, ‘I’ve got enough mates’ and he was really upset. I was proper in an awkward situation.

Did you have any fights for the same men?

No never, it wasn’t really about that.

Yes I suppose you all liked different things, you weren’t really attracted to the same people?

Yeah because Sam and Danny [two of Sarah’s chosen guys] went on dates with Laura and Amy, and I just thought to myself, you know if Laura likes him or whatever, I’ll just kind of back up, you know what I mean?

There was no jealousy amongst us three, you know some people say three’s a crowd, but seriously it’s not, I can’t say I’m closer to Amy or I’m closer to Laura, I just love them both the same.

Were you worried the guys were only interested to be on TV? Yeah well, I was, to be fair, I made a bad choice really, with picking Danny. I’ve never seen him since the show, he was supposed to come and meet me that weekend after the show, and he said to me that he was going to come to my house that weekend, and he never came up, and ignored my texts for two weeks, so then that said it all.

And then I found out that he’s done ‘Love Machine’ and he’s been an extra on TOWIE and I just thought, ‘oh I’ve proper made a mistake here’, but never mind… But Amy and Charlie are still together, Laura and Ken, they’re not.

Oh really? Laura seemed to really be in love with Ken! Yeah, he’s a lovely lad, but I think he’s just a bit - there wasn’t enough going off for Laura, she likes somebody to keep her on her toes. She’d just walk all over him.

What was the best part of the experience?

I can’t really say, erm - I’d say I was more nervous for the dates with the lads, going on six dates to start off with, I was really nervous about that bit. But I’d say that was the most exciting part, doing some different activities, getting to know somebody. I had some really, really good days; I mean I went to Bournemouth, I went all up and down the country on these dates and what I was most nervous about was going to their houses, I absolutely like shit bricked, when I had to meet the family and stuff!

I can imagine, normally you probably wouldn’t do that, so early!

Exactly, it wouldn’t happen! But I mean, knowing a man two months and then meeting his family, for a Chinese and stuff, like all in all I’ve only met the guys like three or four times, so yeah, that was a bit surreal like.

Will there be a follow up programme to see how you’ve got on?

I don’t know, there might be, I can’t really say, you never know really. Me, Laura and Amy are doing a show tomorrow, we’re all doing a bungee jump, but that’s just like a documentary to see how your body reacts to putting you through like adrenaline rushes and stuff, I think that’ll be coming on air soon.

Quickie Qs Where did you wake up this morning?

In my bed!

Any secret celebrity crushes?

I wouldn’t say it’s a secret as he knows about it - Mark Wright Describe yourself in three words?

Very random, funny and loyal Any hidden talents?

I’ve got a Level 1 BSL, which is sign language If you were a pizza, what would be your topping?

It’s definitely got to be margarita Follow Sarah on Twitter for all the latest gossip about the Girlfri3nds! @Sarahtaylor1297

Sex and the Steel City December

By Kate Hobson Published December 2012 When is it acceptable to dress up? At Christmas time, of course. Out come the sexy santas, cute little reindeers and cheeky elves; fallen angels, naughty fairies and perhaps even the odd rolling Christmas pud.

The festive season is a chance to embrace all that is cliché and, if we’re being brutally honest, just a little bit trashy.

Hitting the streets in a white tutu, silver tinsel and not much else would at any other time be a major no-no, but the season of goodwill is your chance to rock the body glitter and blindingly glimmering accessories, and no one cares.

Christmas time is your chance to embrace your inner glitter love, your secret passion for all that is kitsch and sex up the festive frolics with a little bit of Mrs Santa adorned flash of leg. And why leave the red and white outfits simply to parties? A little bit of mistletoe and brandy cream wouldn’t be out of place in the bedroom… a cheeky bit of dress up will never go amiss. For some reason a spell in the hot pants adds a certain amused thrill to the duvet games, allowing your time in the bedroom to never get boring.

And there’s no need need to feel body conscious – yes, you look ridiculous but just make sure no photographic evidence is taken and you’ll be safe. As no one wants to see your tinsel thong emblazoned all over Facebook.

Butterz Takeover with Bok Bok / D Double E

By Laura Keen Published December 2012 Less than six weeks into third year and the essays have stacked up, reading week has lost all sight of being a week off, and the atmosphere in general is purely apocalyptic. And then Butterz announces a takeover at Plug… at £4 a ticket for students it would be rude not to. It’s very rare you can see a line up this huge at such a small price, and with Royal T supporting we snapped up our tickets.

Due to the Arctic weather conditions, we stocked up on pre-drinks and barricaded ourselves in until our beer coats were thick enough to brave the outside. Once sufficiently intoxicated we jumped in taxis and headed straight for Plug. It was relatively quiet for a Friday, which was a shame considering just how big the line up was. This aside, they prevailed with their usual Friday night prices and at only £2 for a double and mixer, we stocked up and headed straight for the small room.

Butterz residents were already warming up as we arrived, and with their commercially influenced grime style they were getting the small crowd moving. The only downfall was how small the queue at the bar was… temptation was all too much and by 1am we were steaming. Then Royal T took to the decks and dropped some real grimy garage; the crowd were eating out of his hands. The crowd quickly tripled in size, and as Royal T extended his set the atmosphere was insane.

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen (drinking) circumstances, one by one everyone made a swift back door exit. By 2:30am it became clear that I was the last man standing and definitely the worst for wear. I followed in suit and headed to the taxi rank.

A quality night at Plug, it’s just a shame not to see a bigger turnout!

Dreaming of a Lousy Christmas Film

By Yasmine Gleghorn Published December 2012 You might’ve noticed the tell-tale signs: bright lights, incessant ads and the same CD being played at your supermarket over and over again. There are only so many times “Walking in a Winter Wonderland” can go unnoticed. Christmas is finally here.

Well, it’s realistically been around since November, but you get the drift.

And what do we also get at this magical time of the year? Presents? Family meals? A big bruise from slipping on ice? That’s all standard. What I’m referring to is the joy of Christmas movies. They’re bombarded on TV and eventually find their way into cinemas.

You might’ve detected a hint of cynicism, but it happens to the best of us. Growing up in the 90s and early 00s, I was exposed to a multitude of cringe-worthy films that would’ve been watched, panned and thrown away like a bad sweater vest from your Nan if they had come out during any other time of the year. But Christmas has an eerie magic that makes bad films rise from the dead and come back year after year to haunt us.

Why else would anyone let Vince Vaughn come back in Fred Claus? Who planned to suck away our holiday joy every year with 18 different Nativity stories? My personal vendetta goes against Arnold Schwarzenegger for ever attempting family comedy in 1996 film Jingle All The Way. And Junior. Or Kindergarten Cop. The last two aren’t Christmas films, but they’re still bad enough to get on people’s nerves.

Everyone has their own list. Some people will hate Jim Carrey’s Grinch, others might hate Ben Affleck in Surviving Christmas. There’s also those so-bad-but-delightfully-bizarre films that you can’t really believe were ever made, like Santa Claus Conquers the Martians or The Star Wars Holiday Special. Even George Lucas was appalled by that one.

So if you go to the cinema this Christmas, stick to a normal premiere. Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit is out on December 14th and will be great ways to kick start the holidays. It’s either that or the ex-governor of California chasing after a toy. You decide.

Sports Personality of the Year

By Tom Hardy Published December 2012 Later this month the nation will be rounding up what has been an incredible year for British sport. That’s right; get your telephones at the ready as the Sports Personality of the Year award approaches.

After what must’ve been such a successful event at the BBC’s new Salford-based home in 2011, they’ve now decided to move it to London, but anyway, that’s irrelevant. I worked on a BBC SPOTY event in the build-up to the awards last December, and you wouldn’t believe the amount of effort that goes into preparing for it.

There’s no doubt that the London Olympics have had a direct impact on the award, which becomes apparent as the shortlist has been increased from ten to twelve sportsmen and women. It’s amazing really as in years gone by the list probably could have been shortened!

People are whispering names such as Ennis, Farah, Murray and Simmonds, but my vote will be going to a ‘mod’ with an incredible set of sideburns.

No, it’s not Noel Gallagher. It is of course Bradley Wiggins, and despite the impressive facial hair, this alone isn’t enough to win him the award, unfortunately.

However, to be the first Brit to win the Tour de France and then follow that up with an Olympic Gold in the same year ain’t bad. To put it simply, I think ‘Wiggo’ is the ultimate athlete and I’d dread to even think what his training schedule must be like in order to achieve what he has.

Despite Mark Cavendish winning SPOTY last year, I don’t think many would begrudge the fellow two-wheeled superstar claiming the prize this time round.

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but as the title says, it’s about personality. That must single out Andy Murray straight away.

STUDENTSTROLOGY

mistletoe adorned sleeves this Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat… and the Stars have much up their ready to pop out at any moment to month. Our Studentstrologist has hidden himself inside a Christmas pudding, seasonal predictions… scare the heebie-jeebies out of us here at The Student Mag HQ. Read on for his be foolish not to take heed of his Beware, innocent students, the universe works in strange ways and you would warnings…

Your ability to think outside the box could be to your advantage this holiday season. Strive to be different and make home-made presents. The sentiment will be appreciated.

Wow - how do you do it, Aries? You’re the most enthusiastic person ever!

This season you’ll get everybody into the spirit even if you have to drag the cheer out of them!

We get that you like a good debate, Gemini, but be warned, debating the state of British politics over turkey trimmings is not a good idea.

Just saying.

Not everybody enjoys the build-up to the festivities; you need to be there for people who get a little depressed by it all. Don’t worry, it’s in your nature to care for people, Pisces.

Your instincts will lead you to want to help others this year, Taurus. Embrace it, you’re naturally warm hearted and need to help. They do say charity is good for the soul, after all!

Don’t exceed your bank balance this season, Cancer. You naturally like to make people feel special but spending too much on gifts is unnecessary.

They do say it’s the thought that counts!

A Christmas karaoke sesh down at your local is calling you, Leo, and we at The Student Magazine can’t resist either! Just please avoid Mariah Carey’s, ‘All I Want For Christmas is You’, you may be a talent but nobody should sing that song but the Diva herself!

Ah, what a joy it is to have the entire family over to celebrate the holidays… or not. They’re loud, they argue and your granny always drinks too much sherry. Unfortunately, it might fall to you to keep the peace.

The undiscovered joy of the Christmas night out is there for you, Sagittarius. It may be Christmas Eve, it may leave you with the mother of all hangovers when your younger sibling wakes you up at 5am on Christmas Day, but it’s so worth it!

All we’re going to say, Virgo, is that there is most definitely such a thing as too many Christmas lights. It’s not classy, it’s just plain tacky and you’re so much better than that. Less is more!

Family traditions may just desert you this month, Scorpio.

Everybody’s growing up and moving on. It’s natural. History has proved time and time again that those who are resistant to change get left behind. Nobody wants to be left behind.

You’re a natural high flyer and normally that’s great, but it could be a bad thing as we reach the Christmas season. Slow down and have some fun!

BITES

Our hungry beasts bring you the lowdown on the city’s top student eateries

Orient Express

290 Glossop Road, Sheffield, S10 2HS 0114 728 260 www.orientx.co.uk

............................................................................

It all started with Chinese students. Whether it was the desire to study at a foreign university or a love for all things British, 7000 young Chinese people now call Sheffield their home. Sadly, everyone misses their mum’s cooking from time to time.

And that’s trickier to come by if your family is halfway across the world. When couple Kevin and Yedda Fung realised these hungry students had to eat somewhere, they opened the Orient Express on Glossop Road. And boy does it keep them happy.

Located in the heart of Sheffield’s university quarter, the restaurant that used to be K-Pasa still retains many features from its previous owners.

The bold red and white décor along with a ceiling decorated with fluffy white clouds aren’t exactly a Chinese staple, but the clientele don’t seem to mind.

The vast eating area was full of young Chinese, but guests from more European backgrounds filed in as the evening progressed. As I sat down, a beaming waiter came with cutlery and a steaming bowl full of warm prawn crackers. Used to dodgy takeaways, I hadn’t realised I was missing out on how good freshly made prawn crackers could really be. If this was the free food that came before the meal, I couldn’t wait to see what else Orient Express had in store.

My friend and I decided to start with a Combination Platter (£6.50), a large sharer option that includes won ton, spring rolls, prawn toast and spare ribs. Not too daunting in size, it was enough to settle our stomachs until the next. We also had to get another round of prawn crackers - which really are fantastic.

After the starter, my friend went for a more traditional approach and ordered Duck Curry (£6). I ventured a little out of my comfort zone and got Mixed Seafood Hot Pot (£7.50). This is a Cantonese speciality, with a choice of rice or noodles and other goodies baked in an earthenware pot like a small tagine.

Reluctant to have fish at the best of times, I was pleasantly surprised by the taste and how warm everything was. My friend enjoyed his dish and commented on how good the different textures were. For the more adventurous, there are other dishes like a Spare Ribs and Chicken Feet Clay Pot (£6.50), Aubergines stuffed with Prawns and Black Bean Sauce (£8.00) and Pei Pa Bean Curd (£7.50).

While there isn’t much for dessert, the Yee Kwan ice cream and sorbet in four flavours went down a treat (£2.80 a two-scoop bowl). All together (including drinks), a three course meal for two came up to £31.60.

If dining out doesn’t appeal to you, Orient Express also deliver. There’s a 10% discount if you collect in store and free delivery for orders over £20.

Reasonably priced food, a pleasant (if not completely authentic) atmosphere and friendly staff, this restaurant is perfect for stepping outside preconceived notions and acquiring new takes on traditional Chinese cuisine. We’re only sorry if you don’t appreciate your usual chicken satay after eating here.

The Harley

334 Glossop Road, Sheffield, S10 2HW www.theharley.co.uk

............................................................................

What do you do when the endless chart thumpers, vodka shots and strobe lights get old and you just want to embrace something new, something unique and individual, which goes against the grain?

Admittedly, those sorts of places are not always as easy to find as you think they are. They are like the diamonds in the rough, an oasis amidst the ear splitting tunes and endless Jäger bomb special deals. If this is the sort of place you are looking for, then The Harley is a must!

Located a stone’s throw away from the main artery of Sheffield, West Street, The Harley is practically legend amongst the students of Sheffield. This is for a good reason. When it comes to bucking the curve and breaking out on your own, as far as Sheffield is concerned, The Harley has no equal. It’s particularly famous for staying open to the wee hours of the morning (usually around 6am or so) at weekends, with wicked alternative music. They’re equally as famous for their music specific regular events such as ‘Thirsty Ear’ (A Sheffield based DJ collective who specialise in hip hop, funk and reggae music, among others, and play the first Saturday of every month) and ‘Xrayhorse’ (a rock/indie live music night every second Saturday of the month). As well as specific music nights The Harley hosts a whole roster of other events including comedy nights, quizzes and the increasingly popular Speak-Easy Swing Night, a great learning curve for those interested in the art of Swing!

However great tunes and flowing booze are not the only things the Harley is known for; it’s also a first class food joint. They’re particularly famous for their succulent, juicy burgers that just ooze taste and flavour. Particular highlights include ‘The Big Cheese’ (£7.95), smothered in so many different types of cheese they’ll make your arteries clog and ‘The Ringstinger’ (£6.90), a burger combining the spicy hot tastes of Salsa and Red Lentils to provide that extra bite. Alternatively they have a build-a-burger service, where you can make it to your own specifications.

The Harley is more than just a bar, it’s a Steel City institution! It’s catered to those of us who stray from the mainstream and will continue to do so for years to come.

The Master

15, Drama Director: Paul Thomas Anderson

...............................................................................

Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix) is washed up; a sex-obsessed naval veteran who returns home from the Second World War suffering from post-traumatic stress. Unemployable and unable to adapt to post-war life, Freddie becomes a hopeless drunk drifter -that is, until he arrives in the company of the charismatic, occasionally enigmatic Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Dodd is the leader of a fledgling cult named The Cause, taking a shine to Freddie and making it his goal to free him from his troubled past.

With The Master, Paul Thomas Anderson has confirmed his position as the greatest film-maker of the past thirty years. And whilst There Will Be Blood will, for now, remain his crowning achievement, there is more than enough in The Master to leave cineastes in awe.

Anderson, who both scripted and directed, has described the film as being “short on plot but big on character”, and what character! Each shot is rich in luxurious colour and language, and in the two and a half hour running time not a second is wasted. Our two protagonists are fortunately inhabited by two of the finest actors working in Hollywood today, and both have produced their finest work here.

So engrossing is The Master’s character and characterisation, things like the flawless period detail - which for any other director would be a defining feature - here become a glorious footnote. Also worth mentioning is Johnny Greenwood’s sublime score, his second for Anderson - once again the Radiohead guitarist’s work becomes an additional character and adding a punch of modernity to what is essentially a very old fashioned style of film.

The Master? He really is.

had more than its fair share of detractors from both the critical elite and the general, mightier-than-thou public. Personally, I fully support any endeavour to get tweens into all things supernatural and untoward, and if that takes a bunch of good looking guys and gals running around semi-naked biting one another to do so then more power to it. This final part of the saga won’t be winning over any new fans, but it is the best of the bunch. Both Stewart and Pattinson now know their roles inside out, and Condon is adept at giving the target audience exactly what they want.

Great Expectations Rated: 15, Drama Director: Mike Newall

..................................................................................................................................................................

OK class, we should all know the plot of Great Expectations, but for those of you who have been living under a rock since, well, the late nineteenth century, here’s a recap. Naive waif Pip (Jeremy Irvine) first falls afoul of wanted criminal Magwitch (Ralph Fiennes) and then his sister, Mrs Joe (Sally Hawkins). Pip then spends some time babysitting spinster-supreme, Mrs Havisham (Helena Bonham Carter) in her decrepit mansion, which is where he first encounters his love interest, Estella (Holliday Grainger). Pip then moves to London where he is to become a man of great expectations, but his past continues to haunt him, and Estella remains in his thoughts.

The difficulty adapting Dickens is manifold; it has been done countless times before, Great Expecta-

tions definitively so by David Lean. Also, due to the nature of nineteenth century publishing, the story is inherently episodic, which works great in a BBC drama, but is tricky on the big screen. This adaptation has a notable pedigree though; Newall has proved himself in the past, and the screenplay was penned by David Nicholls of One Day fame. Add acting talent like Bonham Carter, Hawkins and Robbie Coltrane to the mix and you ought to have an adaptation for the ages. Unfortunately not, however, the film feels lifeless; the pacing is way off, the direction ham-fisted. With the exception of Ralph Fiennes, the talent is universally glib, even Helena ‘I was born to play Miss Havisham’ Bonham Carter, feels subdued in what is essentially the role she’s been playing for Tim Burton for years. Do yourself a favour and just re-watch the Lean version.

BEATS Get your ears wagging with our three latest album reviews. plus our dirty downloads to get the rave jumping!

Calvin Harris 18 Months

Ne-Yo R.E.D

Over the last year, Calvin Harris has established himself as an architect of the electronic dance revolution that has grasped the pop scene in full force. His third studio album, 18 Months, is a raving concoction of supreme production skills and epic vocals from some of the kingpins of the industry.

Despite his recent flirtations with dance music, sweet singing soul-man Ne-Yo is going back to his R&B roots with his fifth studio album, R.E.D., (Realising Every Dream).

Prior to release, the album already succeeded in dominating the charts with six major hits. The first single, ‘Bounce’ featuring Kelis, was a commercial success, and the second single, ‘We Found Love’, featuring international superstar, Rihanna, topped the charts in 25 countries and won an MTV Video Music Award. Harris has also released tracks from the album with the likes of vocal powerhouse, Florence Welch, Ne-Yo and Example.

So, aside from the songs we’ve heard, what does the album have to offer? Whilst none seem match up to the pop euphoria of Florence and Rihanna, the witty flow of ‘Drinking from the Bottle’, featuring London rapper, Tinie Tempah, is a worthy effort. With its dubstep twist, ‘Here 2 China’ featuring Dizzee Rascal is heaps of fun, and ‘Thinking About You’, featuring Jordanian singer/songwriter, Ayah Marar, has definite dance floor potential.

Fillers like ‘Mansion’, ‘School’ and ‘Awooga’ are a stark reminder that while Mr. Harris always plays his cards right when it comes to collaborations, without the army of A-list artists infiltrating his tracks, 18 Months would lack serious character and depth.

With only minor vocal cameos throughout, the Scotsman seems almost absent throughout the album, playing more of the producer role than ever before. Yet, clearly designed with the dance floor in mind, we can’t really argue with Harris’ decision to leave the vocals to the pop elite and stick to his forte – mixing those notorious beats.

BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge 2012

The 19 track recording does indeed have its Ibiza moments in pulsating tracks such as, ‘Let Me Love You’, ‘Shut Me Down’ and ‘Forever Now’, but the remainder is a testament to his song-writing ability and a reminder that he certainly isn’t compromising his style in order to make a quick buck or two.

Musing over his experiences of love, money and fame, the opening track ‘Cracks In Mr. Perfect’ is an honest introduction, soaked in 60s soul. Sultry slow-jams like ‘Lazy Love’ and ‘Should Be You’, featuring Fabolous and Diddy, are instant favourites that highlight the singer’s lyrical ability and effortlessly cool flows.

Ne-Yo’s collaborative efforts throughout the album showcase everyone from weed-wild rapper, Wiz Khalifa, in Hip-Hop tinged track, ‘Don’t Make Em Like You’, to country marvel, Tim McGraw in the guitar laden duet, ‘She Is’.

R.E.D. skirts the borders of several genres, from stripped-back acoustic to anthemic dance – and in this instance, Ne-Yo’s impulse to toy with diversity is lucratively executed. The album is strung together by suave and sophisticated tracks that lyrically cut much deeper than generic R&B and sonically result in a well-balanced record.

The Radio 1 team are back with their seventh volume of covers and classics from their famous Live Lounge. Containing 37 tracks over two CDs, the compilation features some of the biggest and best artists of the moment.

With performances from powerhouses like Jessie J, Emilie Sande, and Rita Ora, the album highlights the best of British vocals mixed with a twist of American flavour.

Florence Welch’s take on Drake’s album track, ‘Take Care’, is a masterpiece, and Carly-Rae Jepson’s teen-pop track, ‘Call Me Maybe’ is given a smooth acoustic facelift

by Ben Howard.

Highlights come from surprising fusions, such as soul sensation Usher, with his lively delivery of Foster The People’s classic hit, ‘Pumped Up Kicks;’ and the Arctic Monkeys with their witty take on Katy B’s dubstep track, ‘On A Mission’. Hip-Hop kings, Kanye and Jay-Z are taken on by unlikely Brit trio, Ed Sheeran, Devlin and Labyrinth with their London tinged interpretation on ‘No Church in the Wild’.

This year’s assortment of the finest moments from the Maida Vale studios are captured throughout the album, characterised by stripped back tracks, bare vocals and live instrumentals, giving you a real taste of the electric atmosphere in the Live Lounge throughout 2012.

SHEFFIELD ALL STARS A SEASON OF SECRETS

BEATS

Here at The Student Magazine, we love a good Sheffield band.

This month, we caught up with the Steel City’s own, A Season of Secrets – Brett, Sam, Adam, Matt, Chris and Dayle.

Describe your style of music.

As we’re finding our sound as a band, I’d say it’s becoming more and more melodic as well as punky. We all listen to stuff like Landscapes, Heights, Defeater etc. and take a heavy influence from them as individuals.

Tell us something exciting about the band.

Nothing exciting really happens in our band! Nah, recently we got signed up to a management label in Australia which is incredible for a band like us. It’s probably the greatest achievement for us all and the most exciting prospect also!

Where is your dream location to play?

I know it sounds silly but if you would have asked us this before the whole Australian deal we would have probably said Aus. We’ve heard it’s such a beautiful place and that the kids there really dig UK bands coming over and touring, so we’re stoked for that.

Where is your next gig going to be held?

We have a big gig with some of Sheffield’s best unsigned bands bang at the start of next year. That’s all we can say for the time being!

Describe A Season Of Secrets in three words.

Energetic live performance.

What are your plans for next year as a band?

We’re planning to release a mini album sometime within the first six months of next year (ideally before we go on tour in Australia) and try to do as many UK shows as possible to keep getting our name out there, and hopefully progress in the direction we want to go towards.

The Wide 21x lens is perfect for different environmental conditions and on-camera settings include several filters and editing features to bring each picture up to your desired standards. Just like Instagram can make that picture of your late night beans on toast look artistic, the Samsung GALAXY Camera’s professional shooting modes will do that and much more.

One of the main features of the camera is, of course, the wireless instant sharing. Powered by the latest android operating system Jelly Bean, you won’t need a computer to upload pictures anymore.

Calvin Harris 18 Months

NEYO R.E.D

BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge 2012

在過去一年，Calvin Harris 在電子舞曲 革命創新上可說是大有建樹，並成功晉升 為當今樂壇最有影響的力量。這一次他的 第三張錄音室專輯《18 months》顯得更 加的野心勃勃，這裏面既有最優質的製作 技巧，還包括全世界樂壇最具有代表性最 具有影響力的聲音。

在舞曲領域流連了一陣之後，抒情 靈魂歌手Ne-Yo 帶著他的第五張專輯 《R.E.D.：Realising Every Dream》，再 一次回到了他最擅長的R&B領域。

BBC第一臺著名的現場休息室翻唱與經 典專輯終於出第七輯了！專輯包含兩張 CD37支單曲，雲集了眾多這個時代最偉 大的聲音。

有意思的是，在正式發行之前，這張 專輯裏面的六只單曲都已經成為了各 大排行榜常客。與Kelis合作的首支單 曲“Bounce”取得了巨大的商業上的成 功。和國際巨星Rihanna合作的第二支單 曲“We found love”成為了25個國家排 行榜的冠軍並贏得了MTV音樂錄影帶大 獎。此外專輯中還收錄了Calvin和其他大 牌的合作，包括Florence Welsh,、Ne-Yo 以及Example。 那麼除了這些我們早已聽過的歌，這張 專輯還有些什麼呢？其他的歌曲，雖然 合作者沒有了像Florence或是Rihanna 這樣的大牌，但是Calvin Harris毋庸置 疑的創作能力本身就是品質的保證。和 來自倫敦的Rapper Tinie Tempah合作 的“Drinking from the Bottle”節奏詼 諧流暢，絕對值得一聽。Harris和Dizzee Rascal 合作的“Here 2 China”也可以 稱得上是一首很有趣味的歌。另外，他和 約旦歌手Ayah Marar合作的“Thinking About You”也是絕對有成為舞池熱門單 曲的潛力。 其他的歌曲比如“Mansion” 、“School”、“Awooga”也可說從 另一方面證明了一個真理：只要可以和 一流歌手合作，Harris總是可以大放異 彩。可是如果少了這些人的參與，《18 Months》就少了大部分的特色和深度。 縱觀整張專輯，除了少數的“聲音咳喘” ，這位蘇格蘭人似乎“缺席”整張他自己 的專輯，而更多地扮演者一個製作人的角 色。然而，站在整張專輯為舞池設計的角 度，這個決定可以說是非常明智的：把聲 音的部分交給真正會唱歌的歌手，Harris 只要做他最擅長的混音就好了。

在這張收錄了十九首歌曲的專輯 裏，“Let Me Love You”，“Shut Me Down”，“Forever Now”都帶有 強烈的嬉皮色彩。而其他的歌曲也無疑再 次證明了Ne-Yo的創作能力以及他絕對不 因為急功近利向現實妥協的個人風格。 通過個人對情感、金錢、名利的經歷與思 考，富有六十年代靈魂音樂色彩的首支 單曲“Cracks In Mr. Perfect”可說是一 個誠意十足的開場。其他的新歌，比如 像和Fabolous以及Diddy合作的節奏較慢 的“Lazy Love”、“Should Be You”都 可以在第一時間抓住你的耳朵，讓你驚歎 於Ne-Yo獨特的抒情能力以及毫不費力的 節奏掌控能力。 此次Ne-Yo選擇的合作者可以說各有千 秋，大不相同。有和說唱界新星Wiz Khalifa合作的嘻哈單曲“Don’t Make Em Like You”，也有和國寶級的Tim McGraw合作的吉他雙人合唱“She is”。 R.E.D這張專輯不管在聲音還是在舞蹈上 都綜合了多種流派。總體來說，Ne-Yo的 天賦與衝動讓他把音樂的多樣性玩得得心 應手。整張專輯的曲目即溫和又複雜，抒 情性更比一般的R&B更勝一籌，最終成就 了一張幾乎達到完美平衡的經典。

Ora等眾多最優秀的歌手親自上陣，這 張專輯的亮點在於它將英國最優秀的 聲音和美式風格結合在一起。Drake 的“Take Care”似乎已經找不到比原 唱更好的版本了，可是交給Florence Welsh又再一次讓人驚喜。Carly-Rae Jepson的“Call Me Maybe”可說是 今年青少年流行曲當之無愧的冠軍，而 Ben Howard柔和的聲音卻給它來了個 徹底的變臉。 亮點往往來自於讓人驚訝的組合，比 如頗具靈魂氣質的Usher生動地詮釋 Foster The People的經典“Pumped Up Kicks”，又比如Arctic Monkeys 把他們的詼諧氣質帶進Katy B的“On A Mission”。而嘻哈天王Kanye和Jay-Z 的“No Church in the Wild”這次也被 Ed Sheeran, Devlin 和Labyrinth 這聽 上去不可思議的全英三重唱添上了濃重 的倫敦色彩。 這張合輯融合了今年 Maida Vale studios最精彩的時刻，重新編曲與翻唱， 未經修飾的聲音，以及現場伴奏都讓你身 臨其境地感受BBC那個著名的現場休息 室的活潑氛圍！

你知道么，一切美食都始于中国学生的出现。无论 你是怀着对异国教育的渴望还是更钟情于英国文化 的点点滴滴，如今已有7000名中国学子把一个叫 谢菲尔德的地方亲切地称为“谢村”，而深藏在这 份异国情怀之下的则是他们无时无刻不在思念着妈 妈做的家常小菜。可是能怎么样呢？想着远在千 山万水之外的父母只能给我们徒增伤悲吧。但这一 切都在Kevin和 Yedda Fung夫妇的努力下变得不 同了。当他们意识到这些嘴馋的中国学生们在异国 他乡每天都挣扎于吃什么的问题上时，于是他们在 Glossop Road上创办了一家叫“东方”的中国餐 馆，由此众多的学生同胞们就有了吃地道中国饭菜 的好去处了。 地处谢菲尔德大学黄金地段的“东方”餐馆保留了 原K-Pasa餐厅的风味。大胆的红白相间的装饰风格 加上装饰着蓬松白云的天花板乍一看似乎缺少了中 国餐馆的风味，但是细细欣赏下中国风的元素无不 在这里的每一寸空间里慢慢流淌进出来。 每天我们都可以在这里看到众多中国留学生的身 影，而且随着夜幕的降临，那些欧洲朋友们也会三 五成群地走进“东方”去品尝这里可口的中国菜。 走进“东方”，我随意地坐在了一个角落，不一会 一个面带微笑的服务员就出现在我面前，手里还端 着热腾腾的虾片。由于习惯了店家们狡猾的促销手 段，在服务员端走之前我只吃了一小口，然后我突 然意识到我错失的是如此美味的虾片！我不禁想， 如果正餐前的免费点心都如此可口，那么接下来我 会吃到什么更加美味的菜肴呢？ 我和我的朋友决定先尝尝这里的炸盘（Combination Platter） (£6.50)。这里的拼盘里面有云吞、 春卷、虾多士和排骨。对于两个人来说这份拼盘的 分量还算足。然后我们又点了一份虾片，我不得不 说这里的虾片是在是太好吃了 开胃菜之后，我的朋友选择了更传统的咖喱鸭 （Duck Curry）(£6)，而我决定挑战下自己，所 以我点了海鲜煲仔饭（Mixed Seafood Hot Pot） (£7.50)。这道菜是地道的广东菜，你可以选择米 饭、面条或者其他食物装在一个陶器里面烘烤，这 有点像一道小的炖菜。 虽然我对鱼不是很感兴趣，但是当我尝到这道菜 的时候我十分惊讶于它味道的鲜美以及吃下去的 时候那种温暖的感觉。我的朋友也很享受他点的 菜，特别是不同食物的相异但协调的口感确实让他 大加赞赏。如果你想品尝到更加特殊的菜式，你 可以尝尝这里的凤爪排骨煲仔饭(£6.50)，百花酿 茄子（Aubergines stuffed with Prawns and Black Bean Sauce） (£8.00)和琵琶豆腐（Pei Pa Bean Curd）(£7.50)。 当然这里的甜点也很划算，冰淇淋和果汁冰糕有 四种口味可供选择。而且（两球）只要2.8镑。这 样我们俩这一顿一共吃了三个菜（包括饮料）只 花了31.6镑。 如果外出吃饭不能够吸引你那么这里同样提供外卖 服务。店内外带将有10%的现金折扣，而且消费超 过20镑将享受免费送货上门。 物美价廉的食物，优雅干净的环境和友好的店员使 得这家餐厅能让你摆脱原先的观念而重新找寻到中 国美食的价值。还不快放下手中吃腻了的鸡肉沙爹 来“东方”饕餮一顿吧！

The Harley

The Harley 334 Glossop Road, Sheffield, S10 2HW www.theharley.co.uk

............................................................................

夜已濃，曾經讓人興奮的音樂開始分泌疲勞的因 數，伏特加變得寡然無味，迷離的燈光好像也失 去了誘人色澤，你開始期待新鮮，期待某種獨一無 二，期待什麼東西能帶你從一直以來的生活中離 開。當然，能夠給你這些東西的地方並不像你想像 中那樣容易找到。他們就像未經打磨過的鑽石，就 像埋藏在嘈雜音樂以及無止境的酒精中的綠洲，需 要你用心發掘。如果你尋找的正是這樣一個地方， 那你絕對不能錯過Harley！ Harley距離謝菲爾德大動脈西街只有一箭之遙，也 已經成為了在謝菲爾德學生中口口相傳的傳奇， 特別是每次當他們想要偶爾離開平日的生活軌道 時，Harley總是他們的第一選擇，因為這裏絕對和 其他的地方截然不同。要問原因，首先就是他們的 營業時間，一般的酒吧最晚的營業時間不過到晚上 三四點，但是Harley總開到淩晨，週末的時候通常 直到早上六點。另一個讓他與眾不同的地方是這兒 的音樂，這裏的音樂總是帶著一點點邪惡氣質。這 裏還有積累了大量口碑與人氣的定期活動，比如說 每個月第一個星期六晚的“Thirsty Ear”，採用一 個基於謝菲爾德的DJ團體，特別擅長於嘻哈，Funk 以及雷鬼音樂。同樣著名的還有每月第二個星期 六的“Xrayhorse”搖滾以及獨立音樂專場 音樂 專場。除了這些音樂迷不能錯過的事件，Harley 還準備了其他各式各樣的活動滿足不同的你的需 求，喜劇之夜、益智遊戲，還有越來越流行的搖 擺之夜，如果你對這些有興趣，都可以到Harley 來參與其中。 讓人驚喜的是，除了個性的音樂以及酒水，Harley 的食物也屬於“吃過都說好”這一級的！他們家最 著名的就是漢堡，可不要小瞧這貌似平凡無奇的就 把食物，在這裏，漢堡就是特別的汁多味美，一 口下去，每一個細胞都好像滲透著濃濃的香味。特 別推薦有兩款，“The Big Cheese” (￡7.95)包含 好幾種不同的芝士，如果你也跟小編一樣是個“ 芝士控”，一定要嘗嘗這裏的“大芝士”，感受 靈魂浸泡在芝士香的愉悅！另外一款是“The Ring stinger”（￡6.90），辣味的漢堡配上紅扁豆，足 夠讓你的味蕾開一個狂歡派對。對了，他們家還有 特別的“自創漢堡”，你可以隨心所欲創造專屬自 己的漢堡，只有想不到，沒有做不到！ 對於在謝菲爾德生活過的人，Harley的意義早已超 出了一個單純的酒吧，他更是這個鋼鐵城市一個不 可缺少的一部分。多年裏，Harley一直在同一個地 方滿足我們心裏離經叛道小衝動，而未來，他也會 繼續以這樣的方式做一個謝菲爾德特別的存在。

SARAH TAYLOR

访谈

From ITV2 Girlfri3nds 每个女生都幻想着有一天能遇见她的王子，但是现实生活中的爱情故事 却充满了误吻癞蛤蟆的悲惨经历。ITV2当红的节目《Girlfri3nds》讲述 了三个女孩子在100个男孩子中选出6个约会对象的故事，不过最后只能 有一个幸运儿留下来。 单身美女Sarah，Laura 和 Amy在节目中每人都找了一个男友——Sarah 选择了风流倜傥的足球运动员Danny，Laura更青睐英俊的法国人Ken而 Amy则选择了可爱的Charlie。小编们抓住了几分钟时间与这个谢菲尔德 当地的小姑娘——Sarah Taylor聊了聊这个节目的情况同时也关注了接 下来将会在这个节目里面发生的事情。 你是如何加入到这个节目当中的？ 基本上是他们找到我的。我在网站上看过这个的消息，上面说“你能同 时跟很多男人约会么？”看到这个我仅仅是笑了笑。我记得当晚我喝了 点酒，然后我就想：什么样的女人不希望自己能跟一百个男人约会？所 以我就给他们回复了一个笑脸和一排亲亲的表情，除了这个其他的我 什么也没说，我没有说我想加入这个节目，也没有说我会去申请。但 是他们却跟我说“好吧，我们需要见你”，所以我就去了伦敦。这就 是事情的原委。 所以在这之前你根本不知道有Laura 和Amy这两个人的存在？ 不知道，我们第一次见面的时候是在录制这个节目的时候。

你曾经担心过那些男生只是在电视上才表现的对你有兴趣么？ 担心过。实话说我觉得我选择Danny是一个错误的决定。因为自从节 目播出之后我再也没有见过他，他本应该在节目播出后的周末来看我 的，而且他也对我说他会在那个周末去我家，但是他从没有现身过，同 时他也两周没有回复我的短信了，这些就说明了一切。我觉得他只是 完成了他的“Love machine”，所以我在想“噢，我犯了一个不该犯 的错误”，不过没关系……Amy 和 Charlie 还在一起 ，至于Laura 和 Ken，他们则没有 真的？可是Laura 看起来很爱 Ken啊？ 是的，他是个蛮不错的家伙，不过我想他还没有达到Laura的全部要 求。她想要一个随时都可以让她感到幸福和兴奋的家伙，但是显然Ken 没有能做到。 你觉得这个经历当中最值得的地方在哪里？ 我想我找不到什么“最”值得的地方，不过我曾经跟男生出去约会的 时候会非常紧张。在跟六个男生约会之后，这种紧张还是会有，但是 我也找到了其中让人兴奋的地方。你知道，做不同的事情，然后去了 解一个人。在这期间我有一些非常非常棒的经历，比如说我去伯恩茅 斯的时候，比如说我去全国各地不同的地方跟不同的人约会，我对去 他们家这件事非常紧张，特别是要去见他们家人的时候我简直就变成 了一个木头人。

不会吧？！可是在节目上你们表现的像认识很久的闺蜜啊。那你现在还 在跟她们保持联系么？

我可以体会到，因为通常情况下你不会这么快就做这些事情的！

当然，我们每周都会见面，而且我每天都会跟她们联系，比如说做节目 宣传之类的。基本上现在我们会在各个地方做宣传。

对，这当然不可能。但是你知道，了解一个男生两个月之后然后去见他 的家人这还正常，但是有一个中国男孩子，我只见过他三四次，然后他 居然就带我去见他的家人了！这也太科幻了！

所以你们在录制完节目之后都会非常的忙咯？你上周四来了谢村么？ 是的，我们上周在Viper Rooms做了宣传活动，然后我还要去各种地 方。比如说上周末我和Geordie Shore的一群人在纽卡。你知道，就是 Gaz和Scott他们，他们真是太搞笑了。 你觉得你可以通过这个节目找到你的真爱么？ 我加入这个节目的时候，我没有带有任何期望，而且你知道我从来也没 有期望过可以从这个节目获得什么。我仅仅在想，这是一个很特殊的途 径，因为通过它我可以跟那么多男孩子见面，不是么？而且我觉得在酒 吧里面跟男孩子见面的方法实在是老掉牙了，所以我想这么可爱的节目 为什么我不尝试一下呢？去尝试一下吧！

节目之后会有一些跟踪报道去看看你们相处的怎么样了么？

我不知道，也许有吧。我不能确切的说，因为你不可能真正 的知道整个事情。另外，我、Laura还有 Amy明天还有一个 节目，我们要去尝试蹦极，不过这仅仅是一个纪录片，目的 是为了看看你的身体对体内分泌的肾上腺素是如何反应的。 我想这个节目很快就会播出了。 快速问答 你今天早上在哪里醒来的？

你觉得这个节目的进行的很困难么，比如说最终只能选择一个男孩子？ 那你为什么不选择其他人而选择了Danny? 我觉得我跟他很合得来吧，我能感觉到我自己跟他有种冥冥之中的联 系。 在摄像机面前约会会让你会觉得不自在么？你有没有想过这可能会对你 产生一些影响？ 当然，特别是那个叫Mitch的家伙，我对他的感觉糟透了，所以我直接 对他说“我们只能是朋友”。然后他说完“别啊别啊，我什么都不要你 的”之后就关上了他的摄像机，然后他说“我受够了”。我觉得他真是 伤透心了，当然我那个时候也相当尴尬。 你们三个为了一个男人而产生过争执么？

我的床上！ 有没有什么秘密喜欢着的明星？

这不算一个秘密吧，因为他知道这件事——Mark Wright 用三个词形容自己？

随性，幽默，忠诚。 有没有什么不被大家知道的才能？

我有一个BSL 一级证书，这是一种手语。

从来没有，真的在这件事情上从来没有。 那就好，你们三个都喜欢不同类型的人还是蛮不错的，所以你们不会被 对同一类型的男生所吸引？ 是的，因为Sam 和Danny（Sarah选出的两个家伙）跟Laura 和 Amy 约会去了，所以我暗自心想，不论Laura喜不喜欢他，我都会退出。你 明白我的意思么？我们三个当中不存在所谓的争风吃醋，你知道有人 总会说“三个和尚没水吃”但是，我觉得事实不是如此。我不是在说 我跟Amy关系好一点或者我跟Laura关系好一点，我对她们俩有同样深 厚的感情。

如果你是一个披萨，你会用什么材料做？

不用怀疑，肯定是玛格丽塔。 在Twitter上加Sarah为好友来了解所有关于Girlfri3nds的最 新八卦！@Sarahtaylor1297

欲望鋼鐵城 十二月

By Kate Hobson Published December 2012 想通過不一樣的裝扮增加一些閨房樂趣？耶誕節的到來正好給了你 一個絕佳的時機，你可以裝扮成性感的聖誕老人，可愛的小麋鹿， 厚臉皮的精靈，墮落的天使，調皮的仙子，甚至是奇怪的滾動的聖 誕布丁。 這個節日給了我們絕佳的理由搬出所有老掉牙的“春閨秘術”，雖 然其中的一些是否有用還有待證明。比如說，僅僅穿上白色的超短 裙再加上一些閃亮的金屬配飾，這樣的裝扮在平時可能會顯得太過突 兀，“隆重”。但是這段一年中最“善良”的日子給了你權力噴上身 體閃粉，戴上最閃亮最誇張的裝飾而不用擔心是不是不合時宜。 在這個充滿著驚喜的聖誕，將你內心閃閃發亮的愛情以及秘密的激情 釋放出來吧！即使是一點點俗媚的性感（比如說露一段聖誕“夫人” 誘人的大白腿）也是這個節日精彩的調味料。誰說聖誕的紅白搭配只 適合去參見派對？呆在家裏，臥室內， 一點點榭寄生和白蘭地奶油 對於開啟一個香豔的夜晚也再合適不過……在這個私密世界裏，一點 點“下流”的裝扮絕對不會有錯。告訴你一個小提示，如果你真的不 知道從何入手就選一條熱褲吧，它絕對有極大增加“枕邊遊戲”樂趣 的魔法，讓你的“閨房時間”永遠不會無聊。 來吧，釋放你自己，不需要抑制，不需要害羞，即使你真的看上去荒 唐可笑又怎樣，只要不留下照片證據就好了唄！當然也記住，就算你 覺得自己的裝扮再棒，也不要“不小心”地公之於眾，真的沒有人願 意在Facebook上看到你拿著金屬皮鞭的樣子！

Butterz 、Bok Bok 、D Double E强势来袭

By Laura Keen Published December 2012

还有六周就要进入大学最后一年了，铺天盖地的论文在惨淡的阅读周之后向我席卷而来，此时此刻就连空气里都 弥漫着世界末日的味道。但是这个时候Butterz 却要来 Plug演出！！！£4的学生票价绝对超值，而且这种以超低 的价格欣赏超级精彩的演出的机会实在不多，加上有Royal T的捧场，我相信门票很快就会销售一空的。 由于寒冷的天气，我们为你准备了丰富的酒水来抵挡这份寒意，不过千万别忘了穿上你厚实的外套。如果你觉得 你已经喝的微醺了，那么就赶紧拦上一辆的士径直去Plug吧。周五晚上的街道相对比较安静，但是你要是看见了 门口排队的人群就不会这样想了。这次，他们同样承诺给我们跟平常周五一样的优惠价格比如说一份double和 mixer的酒只要£2，所以我们赶紧买了一堆酒，然后就直接去内间了。 Butterz的粉丝在我们来之前已经疯狂地热身了一番，在他们的充满了商业气息但是超赞的音乐风格的影响下，人 群在不停的骚动着。唯一的缺憾就是酒吧里面排队的人太少了。身边诱惑实在太多，到了凌晨一点我们已经热血 沸腾了。接下来Royal T上台演奏了一些超赞的车库音乐，周围的人都争相与他握手。结果是可想而知，更多的人 蜂拥而至。在更多震撼的音乐中，气氛达到了顶峰。 不幸的是，由于不可预见的（酒精）情况的发生，所有人都一个个的从后面出去了。到了凌晨两点半，我突然发 现我是最后一个站着的人而且穿的极其屌丝。我偷偷的跟着那些穿的光鲜亮丽的人去排队等的士。这真是一个疯 狂的Plug夜晚！唯一的遗憾就是我没能看见更多的人来。

吐槽聖誕爛電影

By Yasmine Gleghorn Published December 2012 不管你的神經多麼大條，這段日子你也絕對能夠注意到身邊的世界已經變了。那些明亮的燈光，反復出現的類似廣告，當然還有超 級市場裏一遍又一遍重複播放的聖誕歌曲（那首好像已經播了幾個世紀的“Walking in a Winter Wonderland”到今天仍然不甘心被 耳朵忽略）。好吧，聖誕又到了，這個事實從每年的11月就會開始不斷地以各種方式提醒你。 這個每年的“魔力季節”我們都會得到些什麼呢？禮物？家庭聚會？在冰面上跌個四腳朝天？這些都是聖誕的標準配備。而我今天 要說到的是聖誕電影帶來的無與倫比的“歡樂”。每年11月開始，他們從電視螢幕開始進兵，並最終攻陷你幾乎找得到的任何一塊 電影螢幕。 說到這裏，你可能已經聽出了我的話中有話，不過我要說的都是事實。對於成長在九十年代末，二十一世紀初的我，好像一直被暴 露在數之不盡的爛電影中。碰到這樣的爛片，如果在平時，我不過是從電影院回來後在網上發一頓牢騷然後就棄之不理，就像那些 奶奶每年給我卻從來不敢穿出來的毛線背心一樣。可是，聖誕好像就有這樣的魔力，讓所有這些曾經折磨過我或者即將折磨過我的 電影從垃圾桶裏死灰復燃，年復一年地進行他們邪惡的逆襲。 這絕對是一個別有用心的計畫。要不然什麼原因會讓文斯·沃恩在《北極的聖誕老人兄弟》（Fred Claus）中又回到我們的視線？誰 會在每一年都用18個不同版本的耶穌誕生故事吸走我們難得的假日心情？我個人對施瓦辛格的厭煩也要從1996年那部號稱聖誕家庭 喜劇的《一路響叮噹》（Jingle All The Way）開始，然後《魔鬼二世》（Junior）以及《幼稚園警探》（Kindergarten Cop）。雖 然後兩部不是嚴格意義上的聖誕電影，但是都確實爛到挑戰人類神經了！ 不只是我，相信每個人都有自己“最討厭的聖誕電影TOP10”。有些人憎惡金·凱利的《聖誕怪傑》（Grinch），而有些人聽 到本·阿弗萊克《誰來陪我過聖誕》（Surviving Christmas）的插曲就會拍桌走人。還有像《聖誕老人征服火星》（Santa Claus Conquers the Martians）以及《星際大戰假日特別版》（The Star Wars Holiday Special）這樣無厘頭的大爛片，讓人簡直懷疑這樣 的電影到底是怎樣拍出來的！相信就連喬治·盧卡斯看到了也會被嚇一跳。 所以，如果你這個聖誕還有去電影院的計畫，還是堅持看正常電影的首映吧！值得讓人高興的是彼得·杰克逊的《霍比特人》 （Hobbit）12月14日就要上映了，這肯定足夠作為一道讓人愉悅的聖誕開胃菜，也肯定比看著前加州州長使勁全身解數追逐著一個 兒童玩具有意思。元芳，你怎麼看？

............................................................................................................................... 年度體壇人物評選

By Tom Hardy Published December 2012 在這個月晚些時候，這個國家會迎來2012年最後一場體壇盛事。2012，這一年註定會在英國的體育實史冊上留下濃墨重彩的一筆。 對了，現在就開始準備好你的電話，因為2012年度體壇人物評選就要開始了。 也許你還對去年那場在英國廣播公司索爾福德新總部的盛世記憶猶新。毫無疑問，那是一場巨大的成功。不過今年，年度體壇人物 已經決定了要“搬家”到倫敦。當然不管怎樣，雖然搬了新家，相信對於整個評選絕對是有利無害的。去年12月，我曾經參與到了 這個獎項的籌備工作中，相信我，你無法想像有多少的努力被投注到整個評選的準備工作中。 毫無疑問，今年的倫敦奧運會對此次的評選會有很大的影響，其中最明顯的一點就是候選名單從十名增加到了十二名。要知道，在 這之前，已經有好幾年候選人名額都差一點被減少了。今年不但沒有這樣的苦惱，竟還增加了人數，實在是好事一件！ 我猜從現在開始，已經有一些名字在人們的耳語中口口相傳，比如說Ennis（生於謝菲爾德的新科奧運女子七項全能冠軍），Farah （倫敦奧運會男子5000米長跑冠軍），Murray（2012四大網球公開賽大滿貫冠軍）或是Simmonds （倫敦残奥会400米自由泳比 赛S6级冠军）。可是如果你問我，毫無疑問，我會說我會把票投給一個有著夢幻鬢角的摩登青年。 哈哈，你猜錯了！怎麼會是Noel Gallagher呢？我心中的冠軍絕對屬於Bradley Wiggins！哦？什麼？光憑鬢角可不能把獎領回家？太 可惜了！那麼加上英國第一個環法自行車賽冠軍以及同一年的奧運金牌這樣不錯的成績，應該就沒問題了吧？簡單直接地來說，我 認為Wiggo（Bradley的外號）就是所謂的終極運動員。我甚至無法想像他是挨過多少的“魔鬼訓練”，才取得這樣傲人的成績！ 雖然Mark Cavendish（自行車世界冠軍） 已經贏得了去年的體壇年度人物， 可是今年我想仍然會有大批的支持者把票投給這位兩個輪子上的巨星！ 當然，每個人都有自己的喜好，都有權利發表自己的觀點。 可是就像這個獎項的名字Sports Personality of the Year，這也是關於“personality” （個性）的評選。單憑這一點就可以把Andy Murray 排除在外。

寶瓶座：你那總是不按常理出牌的思維在這個聖誕假期可是會讓 你獲益不少！發揮你的創意想想一些與眾不同的自製禮物吧！你 的用心也會得到用心的回報。

白羊座：嘿，喲！白羊，最近怎麼樣呢？你從來都是最熱情如 火的星座，這個耶誕節就像為你量身打造的，在這個季節裏， 你會將你身邊所有人都帶入節日的美好氛圍中！

雙子座：我們都知道你喜歡辯論，但是在這個聖誕季你可要 小心了！在火雞大餐面前進行一場關於英國政治的辯論也許 真不是個聰明的主意！

雙魚座：並不是每一個人都能享受為節日做各種準備的樂趣， 當他們被這濃濃的節日氛圍搞得有些神經兮兮的時候，你絕對 是他們最需要的人。但是不用擔心，作為善良的雙魚座，照顧 他們早就是你天性的一部分了。

金牛座：今年你的本能會讓你一直想要去幫助別人。擁抱這個美 好的本能吧，你天生就是一副熱心腸。畢竟，人們總是說，慈愛 是靈魂的良藥

巨蟹座：這個月記得要捏緊你的錢包，小心超支哦！我們理解你 天生就希望讓身邊的每一個人感覺到自己是特別的，但是花太多 錢在禮物上真的不值得。記住，有句諺語是禮輕情意重。

A star is born

“T’ve had it with these mother fucking snakes on this mother fucking plane”

Real Name : Samuel Leroy Jackson Born : December 21st 1948 Net Worth : $150,000,000 Estimated

獅子座：在這個假期，獅子座的你準備好稱霸KTV吧，全 世界都不能阻擋你！但是，但是！記住千萬不要點 Mariah Carey的“All I Want For Christmas is You”。你是很有 才沒錯，但這首歌除了 Mariah女王本人，真的誰都不適 合唱……

天蠍座：這個月也許你會與一些家庭傳統背道而馳。但是，我 們每個人都是在不斷地成長的，這是在自然不過的事情。接受 這樣的改變吧，歷史已經一次又一次地證明那些拒絕改變的人 總是會被甩在後面。你可不想做那個人，不是嗎？

人馬座：跟朋友出去玩吧，這個月裏有一個前所未有 的愉悅夜晚正在等待你發現。也許就是聖誕前夜，也 許它會讓你在聖誕日宿醉一整天，不過，相信我，那 絕對值得！

室女座：我唯一要告訴你的是，你的聖誕燈飾真的真的 太多了。我們知道你讓大家過個Bling Bling的耶誕節， 但是太多的裝飾帶來的卻可能是平凡俗氣。你能做到的 比這個好太多！記住這個永遠的準則：Less is more！

天秤座：全家人聚在一起慶祝聖誕真是一件太值得高 興的事！哦……也許不是這麼簡單。所有人都拉大了 嗓門，他們不停地爭吵，而趁大家不注意，奶奶已經 喝掉了一整瓶的雪利酒……該你上場了，讓大家都平 靜下來吧。

山羊座：我們都知道你並不是一個隨時隨地可以自然嗨的人，而這樣的慎重 在平時對你也大有好處。但是！由於我們已經進入了聖誕季，一直在努力的 山羊們，至少在這個時候試著讓自己慢下來找點樂子吧！

記憶@謝菲爾德 謝菲 爾德市政廳 Sheffield

在英國的文化歷史中，市政廳的意義往往不 僅僅限於行政作用，而更是人們社區生活的 中心。在謝菲爾德這個以鋼鐵聞名的城市也 不另外。除了城裏最重要的行政中心，謝菲 爾德市政廳還是思想交流的平臺，文化形成 的搖籃，以及各種改變人們生活的創新的發 源地。從這個意義上簡單來說，市政廳既是 代表官方法律權威的場所，也展示了這樣的 法律權威帶來的結果，對人們生活的影響， 這一點即使在現在也沒有改變。也正是因為 這個原因，我們的市政廳總是保持富麗堂皇 的姿態，總是展現著這個城市最好的一面。 在整個19世紀，伴隨著偉大的工業革命， 英國的各個城市都開始大興土木建設自己的 市政廳，以顯示這個國家在維多利亞時期強 大。但是，謝菲爾德這座鋼鐵城市直到1886 年才開始修建自己的市政廳。這背後的原因 其實也非常實際，因為整個19世紀謝菲爾德 都稱不上一個適宜居住的城市，而對於地方 政府，當時還有大量工作需要付諸行動以提 高本地的工作生活環境，這些都比建設一個 華麗的市政廳更為緊要。因此，直到19世 紀末，經過近百年的努力，當謝菲爾德的生 活環境終於慢慢地提高了，城市議會才購買 了這塊土地並開始修建市政廳。更值得一提 的是，當時的議會並沒有盲目地跟隨建築潮 流，而是逆勢而上，組織了一次設計競賽， 只為了將這個市政廳真正建設成為能夠代表 謝菲爾德建築傑作的經典。 經過很多的權衡、努力與審議，178個來 自不同建築師的設計稿擺在了城市議員們 面前，而最終他們選擇了來自倫敦的E.W Mountford和F.W Pomeroy的作品。兩位建 築師的傑作在緊張的建設之後終於從紙上圖 紙變成了現實。1897年5月21日，維多利 亞女王親自出席了謝菲爾德市政廳的開幕典 禮。對於整個建築的建設並沒有就此結束， 實際上在那之後四年，城市議會曾數次請 Mountford先生準備對一部分建築物進行改 變。然而第一次世界大戰的爆發徹底讓這個 最初的改建計畫徹底擱置，這一等就等到了 1923年。這一年，由F. E. P. Edward主導設 計的市政廳改建終於落成。於是， 1923年5 月29日，在維多利亞女王出席的第一次開幕 儀式的26年後，威爾士王子參與了謝菲爾德 市政廳的第二次開幕。 從那一天以後，謝菲爾德市政廳就作為這個 鋼鐵城市人們堅強性格的代表，佇立在Penistone Road。環繞著市政廳的是風景如畫的 Peace Garden，這裏的噴泉和各式各樣的石 雕給嚴肅的市政廳增添了幾分趣味。Peace Garden在最開始的時候本來也是市政廳上世 紀三十年代延展計畫的一部分，但是這個“ 奢侈”的計畫再一次因為第二次世界大戰的

爆發被迫終止了。戰爭結束後，這裏就變成 了我們今天所熟知的Peace Garden。其實， 這裏最初的名字是聖保羅花園，但是愛好和 平的謝菲爾德人卻私下給它起了“和平花 園”（Peace Garden）這個名字，口口相傳 到後來竟然沒有人記得聖保羅花園這個名字 了。於是1985年，經過議會決定，聖保羅花 園正式更名為和平花園（Peace Garden）。 但是，與它的名字不同，Peace Garden最初 的名聲其實並不太好，花園裏坐的走的睡的 盡是滿身酒味的醉漢。可幸的是，隨著時間 的推移，今天的Peace Garden終於成了這個 城市裏超級有愛的一個小角落。 市政廳的內部和外面的花園一樣迷人。剛走 進大門你就會馬上喜歡上你眼前所看到的這 一幕，一個紀念在馬島戰役中不幸沉沒的 HMS Sheffield戰艦的小型展覽。走過玄關 就看到富麗堂皇的大理石樓梯。別急走這麼 快走上去，停一停，往你的頭頂看，你會發 現一個相當復古的吊燈，告訴你一個小秘 密，這個吊燈可是謝菲爾德市政廳最初電氣 系統的一部分，也就是所它掛在那個地方已 經接近兩百年了！四周的牆壁上都裝飾著精 緻的藝術作品，包括一幅氣勢恢宏的刺殺霍 恩克裏夫之龍的繪畫。好，現在可以沿著樓 梯往上走了。在樓梯的盡頭等待你的是謝 菲爾德第一任市長，15世諾福克公爵Henry Fitzalan-Howard的塑像。 站在一樓，你會發現你置身在一個氣場強大 的走廊之中，色澤明亮，巨大的從天花板直 落下來的橡木板將走廊分成四部分。南面的 房間是市長接待室，獨立於主會議室之外。 同一層上還有橡木嵌板的會議室和前廳，門 上刻著一排文字：“靈巧似蛇，馴良如鴿” 。看來，市政廳確實在各個方面設法成為謝 菲爾德人們的表率。前廳的牆上還有歷任市 長的照片，接待室裏也有一些繪畫，記載著 這麼多年來為謝菲爾德這個城市的發展做出 了巨大貢獻的人們。 現在，你大概已經明白了。謝菲爾德市政廳 並不僅僅是一個單純的建築物，它更是這剛 鋼鐵城市最優秀最閃亮的特質的物化證明， 在還未到來的未來，它也會作為謝菲爾德堅 韌精神的象徵，繼續佇立在那裏，告訴人 們，我們能做到更好！

在这个月的杂志里，我们罗列了各种节日消遣活动，包括以礼品导购的形式出现的一 系列的圣诞乐购版块以此来缓解你现在面临的各种难题，以及我们提供的12天玩转圣 诞节的特别版块（绝对不是流水账一样的罗列事情噢）。以上这些绝对不是我们的“ 圣诞袜”里的全部礼物，我们采访了ITV2上的当红节目“Girlfri3nds”中的金发美女 Sarah，同时也收录了Capital FM的对充满了圣诞氛围的Meadowhall的报导。另外，我 们也勤勤恳恳地履行了对广大学生同胞的职责，我们从谢村各家学生住所中筛选出了最 佳的几所，这样大家就再也不用为来年住哪儿的问题发愁了。

Editor Kate Hobson 凯特 哈布森

另外我们也搜罗了你们的最爱——八卦、星座、时尚、博客、玩物等等等 等。当然，在杂志的另外一面你可以轻易地找到这些的中文版本。
