Durham was my second University for my Masters and as of 2014 it was still very much college based club socials that would be around but I think this is due to it being really quite an uncentralised system, I had no ties to the Union there compared to Newcastle where I would be there almost every day due to involvement with clubs and the University Radio. I was at Josephine Butler College and remember in the first few weeks the College Football Club doing their initiations in a group of trees that were just off the college grounds. The darts and pool teams were some of the worst at my time though.
-
I wonder if it is ingrained in the sport itself and is just part of the overall culture both in and out of university for some sports. At both Universities I went to it would be the same sports that were known to be the heavier drinkers and everything that then comes along with this. Or alternatively they were just the bigger clubs of popular sport in the UK and so with that comes more people so increased overall numbers of both drinkers and non-drinkers.
Obviously the above case is different here as it is a Union Society for Agriculture students that anyone can join rather than a Sports Club.
-
Remember hearing about this case at the time. Was really sad to read. I seem to recall in my years at Newcastle a few years before this initiations were banned by the Union. Can't say we carried them out in the Surf Club but we'd still do Edward Ciderhands/Amy Winehands at the Newquay surf trip at the start of the year so not really much difference I suppose when you're a new student trying to make friends. The agrics were always notorious throughout the University though.

Are there any recommended go to vegan brownie recipes anyone can point me towards? I'm due to bake something for work after my sweepstake contestant of the Great British Bake Off was kicked out last week and would like to make something that everyone can have if they would like to (if there's any tips on how to make this gluten free that would also be appreciated, though not actually sure if there's any dietry requirements for this in the office so not entirely neccesary, but would be useful to know in future for my celiac vegan friend who visits me in London now and then). After something gooey and fudgy rather than cakey, looked around online and there's a lot out there so just curious about first hand experience of aynthing

Had the joy of following a bloke smoking weed whilst meandering around on his e-scooter from Hackney Grove down to the Hackney City Farm. Not the nicest smell to have to endure at 9am

Fans of the band Tool, I include my younger self in this. Yeah they make some good songs, stop gushing about how they should be the most admired and resepcted group of musicians to have ever graced the earth. They use out of the ordinary time signatures, that's it, deal with it. You're not smart or unique for liking some hidden gem, they're a mega group who have been nominated for and have won a number of awards.
And it took them 13 years to basically write an album that sounds like anything else they've ever released.
10,000 Days (Wings Part II) is dope though I'll accept that one

Wierdly enough just seen a very similar video

Quite like where the URL cuts off the headline there

Probably earned their place on the thread with this on

I enjoyed 'intercity' in the comments suggesting that speeding fines are 'another tax on the motorist'

There's my dad's Christmas present sorted. Thanks.

That's great, especially familiar at 2:02

Is it just me or has there been an increase in single speeds with only a front brake on these days? Swear I'm seeing more and more each morning.

Heading up home for a few days from the Wednesday so can't make it this week.
In terms of pubs for future though I'm happy with going further afield for a bit for a mix up if we'd like to. Can't think of anywhere new or exciting that may be on offer in the area at the moment

I just find the 'forced a bot to watch something' unfunny, but enjoyed the script part. I see you did not

The tweet text removes an element of funny for me as it’s an overplayed unfunny joke but did enjoy the rest all the same

London Fixed Gear and Single-Speed is a community of predominantly fixed gear and single-speed cyclists in and around London, UK.
This site is supported almost exclusively by donations. Please consider donating a small amount regularly.
Rugby and Rowing were the two that always seemed to cause issue, I think the rowing club in Newcastle were banned from the wednesday union sports nights and the sports 'summer ball' for a few years following some off behaviour.
