  LW: What made you decide to set up OxLove? Ox♥: Honestly, with the success of Crushbridge I (there was only one of us at that point) thought it was a real shame Oxford had nothing similar, and since no-one else seemed to want to set it up, after waiting a while I did it. The […]

As you may have seen in a certain inferior publication, or heard someone complaining bitterly, Exeter’s new quad, the Cohen Quad, has suffered yet another setback. Originally set to be ready by the start of Michaelmas, the date was initially pushed back to the 31st of October, until the contractors decided it might be a […]

The JCR president of every college at Cambridge, and at least Corpus at Oxford, if not others, has received a strange and somewhat creepy letter explaining exactly what is wrong with feminism. Or at least it would, if it actually made any real sense. Reading like a No Offence writer on crack, the mysterious sender […]

Merton JCR has accepted it has no banter, and announced its intention to go back to work. VERSA can reveal that the declaration of war was a somewhat misguided attempt by the Merton JCR Committee ‘to show the freshers that General Meetings can be fun (in spite of the reputation that Merton has hitherto acquired)’.

The earliest reactions were the strongest, ranging from the amusingly apt Peep Show: To the ostentasionaly Churchillian rhetoric: Then there was complete despair/seeking solace in more sensible animals: Whilst some students have formally entered a state of mourning, renouncing their identity and condemning vanity and self-indulgence in the face of disaster. Well, either that or he […]

With that in mind, let’s take a trip down Memory Lane, as we track how these former faces took their trip back down to Earth. Henna Dattani Someone should call the Missing Persons Helpline. Once quite a frequent face at the Union and P&P, Henna is nowhere to be seen these days. Someone should let her […]

Bridge is over troubled waters in the latest incident for the Oxford clubbing giant Things went a little off-piste at Bridge Club last week when a whopping 3000 students piled in for the conclusion of the official “Varsity ski trip” crawl. This presumably makes the night out, a premature celebration of the Oxford/Cambridge ski trip […]
