Our House
By Li Peng Cheok — March 13, 2008
The gem of “Our House” lies in its dialogue. Written by Godber, the humour is subtle, witty and clever, without resorting to slapstick. With a light, charming script and one or two, young, fit actors in the lush setting of the Theatre Royal, “Our House” makes for a lovely night to end the term.

By Eman Akbar — March 13, 2008
I find myself standing in the middle of Tottenham Court Road, struck with panic, just seconds away from meeting Amr. This is a man who created the fashion of tomorrow, yesterday. He pioneered the collaboration of Swarovski crystals on vintage Rolling Stones t-shirts.
Ones to Watch

Designer: James Long Formerly bereft of the capacity to mix and match, Gareth Pugh fanatics have mobilised and found a new designer to complement the metagoth look. RCA menswear graduate James Long got a bit of media attention recently as his collection for Man by Topman was stolen hours after it debuted at London Fashion [...]
Goes Way Back
By Matthew Jeynes — March 13, 2008
There just isn’t enough whimsy in this paper, or any paper for that matter, these days. I mean, there is whimsy, but that isn’t proper eccentric whimsicalness.
Who are Anonymous?
By Nouse — March 13, 2008
Dear Nouse, I saw your article and photos about a protest by a lynch mob calling itself “anonymous”. When I saw this motley crew waving their inflammatory banners it wasn’t obvious to me (or the police who were in attendance) who, if any, were our very own intelligent well-read students, who were the chavs who [...]
The game is not over
By Nouse — March 13, 2008
Dear Nouse, Grace Fletcher-Hackwood may have departed from her post at the SU, but the game is not over yet. The SU is now without an Academic and Welfare officer, vital in matters where students are at odds with both academic and administrative staff; for instance in cases where a complaint against an academic member [...]
Muslims are not disadvantaged in the UK
By Nouse — March 13, 2008
Dear Nouse, In her interview for the last edition of Nouse, Prof. Afshar seems to assert that the Archbishop’s desire to give constitutional recognition to sharia is fully compatible with equality before the law. She implies that British Muslims are not being treated equally in this respect. In fact equality already prevails as no religious [...]

Hosseini’s second novel traces the lives of three generations of women living in a turbulent period in Afghan history; from the Soviet occupation to the overthrow of the Taliban.
Reel Big Fish
By Peter Campbell — March 13, 2008
For a band that headlined the main tent at Reading and Leeds festival two years ago, it was surprising, surreal even, to find them playing in such a small venue.
Mystery Jets Play JJ’s
By Oliver Elliott — March 13, 2008
Firstly, I have to admit a little bias when it comes to reviewing University Radio York’s latest incarnation of its Transformer music nights, since I was involved in its organisation. Directly seeing and influencing how an event such as this takes shape is a fascinating experience.
On The Up
By Oliver Elliott — March 13, 2008
Mice Parade If you’re a fan of ambient indie rock, Fat Cat Records has probably brought a lot of good music into your world. The Brighton based record label has propelled the likes of Sigur Rós, Múm and Animal Collective into the (alternative) public consciousness. The label’s full roster of bands is certainly worth checking [...]
