""Hockey extraordinaire – soon to be first team captain. 'Prince of Hiatt Baker'. Really tall and this stands out. Took a girl home on the 16 during freshers and once 'sorted' cycled back to Bunker. Just a very well-known top bloke.""

Even in a student 'newspaper' surely this isn't acceptable any more?
I'd be mortified if it were my son.

'Biggest names on Campus' sounds very USA

Doesn't it mean he stole her bike?

Took her home on the 16 (bus) and then cycled back. So if they took the bus there and he returned on a bike, he stole it from her?

For those of you invested currently in the lead is Chris:

"Physics meme poster, President of Chaos (Physics Society), Course Rep, Peer Mentor, PASS Leader, guy who stands at the front of physics lecturers sometimes, all round top guy. Best memes and the freshest of content."

followed closely by Harry:

"Everyone's favourite deliveroo guy. Always wearing his beanie /cycling/being in brass pig. Sells Love Saves The Day tickets. Went on a night out in full deliveroo gear, said his last order was a groovy night out for all his pals. He delivered."

Erm...surely the 16 is a bus?

What exactly is your problem with the article?

PinotMwah · 24/05/2018 19:27

They sound like a bunch of entitled hoorays, but live and let live etc. Is that what's unacceptable? Or am I missing something...

I was in Hiatt Baker.

Bristol wasn't like this in my day. I'm cringing every so slightly alot

probably best not to read the Tab if it's going to upset you so.
It's well known among students that it's a 'low brow' magazine, but never the less it's a mag written by students for students entertainment. I don't feel you are the target market.

NotACleverName · 24/05/2018 19:57

Have you been at the sherry? I'm not seeing the problem here.

Isnt taking a girl home slang for shagging? So shagging on the 16 bus? Then cycled home.

I feel drunk reading this 😳 I can see there's words. In some particular order. But they don't make sense. What happened?

It’s the 15 bus and I think you’re being a bit ridiculous.

The Tab isn’t a serious paper FFS. It’s a piss-take. “BNOC” nominations take place at most universities, not just the posh ones.
