elcome to Event 76, it's Hades, King of the Underworld here, mythical God and Disney antihero extraordinaire. Whilst on one of my regular visits up to the surface of the earth, I've picked u p a copy of Concrete to peruse on my boat trip back over the river Styx. Anything any lost soul could ever want to know about music, movies, the internet, food and the arts is stuffed into this neat little package. Compact, versatile and lightweight. Check out the magnificent centre spread devoted to the cult of kid's TV I could teach those teletubbies a thing or two ••• Ever wanted to know what makes top Radio One DJ Mary Ann Hobbs tickt Read all about her in an exclusive interview. The diligent folk at The Event have rated their reviews for our convenience on a scale of one to five. Those that score f 've go straight to the Eleysian Fields whilst the low scorers head straight into the boWel of ell. So enjoy, I'm off to steal a few souls, release some Titans an kick some Herculean but
in er toast has come to represent those things about University life that are, on a small scale, in its own little nu1sance way, evil and pestilent. If you've had a breakfast at The Diner lately, you'll probably be familiar with the toast there. Dry and biscuity in places, soft and chewy in others, and thorough ly not very hot all over. Every fortnigh t we give The Diner Toast Award to something judged unanimously to be bad. Not hugely, just something that is niggling in it's irritation, like m1ssing the number 35 by 12 seconds, queuing for NUS cards or findi ng that there are no more ploughmans in the Hive, and only th e lamb and mint sandwiches remain . But in all the start of term chaos, we feel that this fortnight's victor of the toast should go to timetables, their clashes and comp lexi ti es. How difficult can they make it? After three months of brain inactivity only the likes of Carol Vorderman could wrestle such a large notice board of room numbers, times and courses. After hours of mental acrobatics and furio us scnbbling on a scrap of paper balanced on your knee whilst hoards of students push past you also trying to dec1pher this crypt1c schedule, you then see that your fi gures don't add up, the re 's a clash. How annoy1ng IS that? So for timetables everywhere and their clashes, the toast's m the post. ~
