9 | Student Advice
Living with your mates, what could be better?
But it can very easily start to feel crowded
and claustrophobic
here’s some tips to keep it a happy home…
1.The kitchen…The hot-house for tension and rows, keeping it clean and doing
your share is so important, don’t just say ‘I’ll do it later…’ There’s nothing worse
than looking at someone’s leftover mouldy kebab, and for god’s sake NO
stealing food!
2.Noise… We all love our music loud, but sometimes not everyone in your house is
up for a party, especially not your neighbours. Cardiff council can take action
against any complaints made due to excessive noise anytime during the day or
night…so keep it down!
3.Fancy a bit? Don’t sleep with your housemate, however much of a good idea it
may seem at the time, it’s a recipe for disaster! Ask yourself do you really want a
live- in boyfriend/ girlfriend? Chances are this wont end well.
4.The annoying one…Don’t let them get to you, just don’t live with them next year.
Ninety percent of the time its not personal, its just the way they are; if they really
start to grate then don't go crazy and bring the house down. Try having a calm and
polite word...and sort it out like adults…the odd empty beer can left out is not worth
a row.
5.Do stuff…Don’t take each other for granted, remember you’re friends not just
housemates. Earn some brownie points and make everyone a feast, or organise a
day trip. Just making someone else a cup of tea is a sure guarantee for a happy
housemate.
6.Banter…Laughter is infectious, fun and aids a washboard stomach, but the line of
the joker is easily crossed. The ultimate prankster is hard to live with, and at what
point does it turn into bullying? The odd loosening of the ketchup bottle top or “I
thought you’d have clothes on in the shower” can eventually be gotten over...but
flicking the fuse on the last episode of Lost? Just too far.

PRoBLEMS?

Horny Lad
“My housemate is
unbelievable, he keeps
bringing girls back after nights out and
then bragging about it the next day,
telling us all the messy details. I’m
not interested and it’s so rude. I think
sometimes he even makes it up, saying
he’s stayed at a random girl’s flat when
he’s just slept over a mate’s house!
How can I shut him up!?”
Amy Lear
Exam Stress
“I’m finding it so hard to
keep on top of my work!
The essays and exams
are building up, so is
the social life, and I also
have a part- time job!
I can’t do it all and I feel sick with
stress! AHHH I need your help!”
Jacob Tork
STD ME
“I’ve had unprotected sex and
I think I’m riddled. The girl was
cute looking and seemed pretty
innocent, so I took the risk and
thought it we all be fine. I just
feel so free when I’m bare- back!
Now I’m itchier than a crotch full of crabs!”
Anon
A mixed bag of problems to solve this month, but I do like
a juicy challenge! There’s nothing I can’t solve;
always here to help!
Love always, your Alternative Agony Aunt, Miss T.
Unfortunately he has ‘Wannabe Lad’ syndrome. He’s
probably got a huge ego and a tiny mister, and this is a
classic case. The only known cure is maturity, which may
take this guy a few years to out grow…either that or he is
secretly in the closet. Best thing you can do is ignore
him or cook him a nice meal.
I think you’ve learned your lesson? Pop yourself down to
the GUM clinic and bring your friend with you…maybe you
can make a second date out of it.
Cardiff GUM clinic
Cardiff Royal Infirmary
Walk-in: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday morning:
Opening at 8:15am
Take a deep breath! All will be fine. It sounds like you’re
letting everything stack up against you and panicking
about all the things that you have to do. Get a calendar
and note everything you have to do on each particular
day. Concentrate on what needs doing today, and don’t
stress about tomorrow or you’ll drive yourself nuts! Don’t
forget to sleep.

WE LIKE!
JAMES FRANCO Actor,
Artist, Poet, Author and
currently studying for two degrees, is there any
thing this guy can’t lend his hand to?
THE FLICKS Too many good film releases out at the
moment, I’ll be setting up home in the local Odeon.
CONVERSE Set for a return and will be the only
pump to be seen in this summer, but no jazzy
colours just good classic colours and keep them
clean and ditch the deck shoe.
AWARDS SEASON Just because we love to have a
good old bitch session over who’s with who, who
wore what and who had a wardrobe
malfunction (and who actually won).
ADELE One word to describe her new album ‘21’;
absolutely AMAZING (ok that’s two). This girl’s got
soul and the dirtiest laugh in Essex.
JUST NO.
KERRY KATONA Bless you for trying to clean up
your life for the sake of your kids but we much
preferred you when you were a dribbling mess
TV CHOICE 1000 Channels...and counting. Too
much choice and still nothing to watch, you’ll find
me in the cinema
JEANS TUCKED IN BOOTS Guys come on, some of
you must have some originality in you, try some-
thing different and break the mould.
CURVES Well, they didn’t last long did they? It’s the
sexier, healthier choice but now everyone’s getting
rid via detox, diet or an exercise splurge. Make your
mind up.
LADS Thank you E4 for enlightening the British
public; proving a ‘lad’ is just a tool. Perhaps now
we’ll see the return of the gentleman.

Spring is upon us and its time to put
aside your duffle coat and biker boots

WORKING
YOUR WARDROBE
into the...
latest TRENDS.
fashion.The TRASH ladies are loving this season’s hottest
high-street trend, VARSITY RULES; because this
one’s for the blokes too. It’s not often the fashion gods
conjure up a unisex, wearable trend so its exciting times
this Spring (more excuses to steal your partner’s stuff).
Inspiration taken from our friends at Harvard and Yale…
this season sees the return of the original preppy masters Polo Ralph Lauren and Tommy
Hilfiger (Jack Wills your time is up). Think low- slung jeans, mid –length skirts for the girls,
baseball jackets, and coloured chinos for the guys, don’t forget a chunky cardi and the old-
school classic Converse with a chunky sock. Keep it light, fun but remember to keep it clean!
Boys; take note! Colour palette- neutral, navy, camel, red, blue & white.

London Fashion Weak, like my
My mum always makes a pot of boiling
water with her pot of tea, she doesn't like it
too strong. Her brewing method seems to be
normal until, cup of tea made, half is
unkindly poured straight into the sink. The
rest is then topped up with boiling water
and voila! You have some seriously
weak tea.
Now, if London Fashion Week were to be a
cup of tea, you'd expect a slick, masterfully
designed and super tasty beverage. It isn't.
I imagined there would be swarms of
excited fashion journalists, bloggers and
industry insiders buzzing around Somerset
House. Clambering to the catwalks in
search of the latest and greatest talent in
the industry and creating a fantastic
atmosphere as they go. What you really get
is just a gaggle of tag-alongs, interested in
free Tesco finest champagne and boring you
with horribly pretentious conversation. As
for the tea, well, it's cold and half drunk.
After leaving you are left with the stale taste
of branding in your mouth. Canon, MAC,
Vitamin Water - the logos are everywhere
around the main show space and in many of
the exhibitions. People are handing out free
testers or bottles of REVIVE and RENEW
flavoured water. It really detracts from the
spectacle - you wouldn't get this in Paris. On
the outside, it seems like a tacky shoppping-
centre fashion show; not the sort of stage
you'd imagine how British fashion should be
showcased to the world. Fashion seems to
be an afterthought for the organisers, who
allow you to leave with this mindset. Of
course some of the collections have been
fantastic, Chrisopher Kane, Charlie le Mindu
and Burberry to name but a few, all in
however, It's all fur coat and no knickers.
It seems to come as no surprise that LFW is
being squeezed out of the fashion calendar,
with New York FW changing its dates to
clash with the London event. Whether this is
to do with the unsuccessful acquisition of
LFW by IMG, a marketing company with
rights to NY, Paris and Milan fashion weeks
amongst others, is disputed. Certainly
though, London should get searching for
some (PG) tips.

This recipe is from food junkie and all round
genius @emmadotcom. The trick is in the name,
with naan bread you basically have a ready-
made pizza base and then it’s up to you how
crazy you want to go with the toppings, but if you
want to keep it to a fiver then follow this recipe:
•Preheat the oven to 180
•For the base, slap on a good amount of anytomato based sauce (Lloyd Grossman pastasauces work a treat) followed by a good dollopof green pesto.
•On top of that add caramelised onions andsundried tomatoes, then top with grated cheddar.
•Pop it in the oven for 20mins and enjoy!
Half a naan bread pizza portion will fill you up!
Don’t forget that most packets of naan bread
come in twos, you can feed four for a fiver, re-
sult!

The Celtic Dragons netball team has soared to
an impressive start this season. Under the
command of new head coach Melissa
Hyndman, they have humbled the likes of
Glasgow Wildcats (55-32) and Team
Northumbria (60-24).The Dragons, who play at
the Welsh Institute of Sport, have also been
drawing large crowds this season. Playing in
the newly branded Fiat Superleague, they are
the only team in the country playing top-flight
netball.Traditionally, the Dragons' team sheet
has read like a who's who of UWIC Netball
past and present, and this year is no different
- with a few notable exceptions. The squad has
been bolstered by the presence of some
shrewd foreign signings.
First was centre Kyra Neal, the Western
Australian who linked up with the Dragons last
season, bringing with her a typically-Aussie
competitive spirit and uncompromising work
ethic. This season, Neal has been joined by a
fellow Antipodean in Brooke Williams, a
Samoan international signed from New
Zealand's Western Flyers. Goal attack Lottysha
'Timmy' Cato is also fast becoming a crowd
favourite. Cato cuts an impressive figure: the
Grenadian stands nearly 6'7" and scores goals
like they're going out of fashion (albeit with a
relaxed Caribbean attitude). Their presence
complements a team that is comprised of
some of Welsh netball's finest talent. The up-
coming North Walian Sophie Morgan has
joined the likes of goal attack Cara Lea
Moseley and centre Suzy Drane , as well as
stalwart Sara Hale (goal defence) in the side.
The diminutive centre from Flintshire plays
with a smile on her face, and with the way the
Dragons are playing this season, he has every
right to.
