I dunno, I got a bit of a chuckle from the "traveller card" article, and the bit about the education officers penis, because penis jokes are always hilarious.

Yeah i thought it was fairly funny, especially the traveller card. Although i think they were fairly harsh on 'fat jonny'

I agree. That was dire.

Reminded me of The Slate a bit, but just trying a wee bit too hard...

Ya, I thought that was very harsh to be honest.

I presume if you know the people who it refers to it'd be funny but otherwise it's ****.

muffinman

Anybody got the first issue?

WeeBushy

Meh, pretty crap imo. Lacks any wit or subtlety. It's just being abusive, anyone can do that.

That is the best-kept secret on campus...no-one will ever find out. I wouldn't even bother investigating! Just accept that it's [talleyrand...not bugler] good

Of course I know them and its still not funny. Someone has issues about not having any friends on campus and are taking it out on people who have by launching into pure nasty abuse, im sure if I knew who the author was I could take some negative phyiscal atribute and highlight it.

The bit about Fat Johnny isn't funny - it's just insulting.

Probably one or two lonely guys with no mates out to vent the frustration of their own social retardation through a perfect display of poor humour and unoriginality.

Who is Fat Johnny?



Is the Belfield Bugle just a case of students attacking other students? If it is it's in bad taste imo.

it's written by a guy from the Observer, what did you expect.

The Bugler is? If that's true it's very disappionting. If they get much worse they could be in trouble; there is no satire defense in Irish defamation law.

gubbie

I liked it... it was silly.

Except the "Fat" Jonny part is way too harsh. Especially considering the amount he's accomplished in UCD.

How do you know this. name and shame ftw

mloc

Careful now, the C+E article is basically malicious defamation. Even republishing the article would leave you as guilty at the writer.

The Agogo

I heard it was a guy from the College Tribune/Turbine

Johnny Cosgrove. One of the nicest, most pleasant, all round decent people I have had the pleasure of meeting.

By all means make fun of and satarise someone, but hiding behind an anonymous abusive tirade is simply cowardly.

Notorious

While I did find it slightly amusing, the article slagging Johnny was a bit harsh. I got a good laugh out of the rest of the articles. I say fair play to whoever bothered to throw it around campus.

woop

In all fairness johnny didnt deserve that, nobody does. I dont know the guy but few actions would deserve that slagging fair play to whoevers showing the initiative to publish something but I remember trininty having a similar booklet. It was a lot more entertaining and without the personal attacks, hugh brady's always good for a laugh hes fair game and even mild slagging of hacks is fair enough but it went on for a bit too long about this johnny lad, no need for it

ah now you cant say something like that without me wanting to know:)
theyre capable and if theyre not an academic or someone on the staff, Im sure to recognise theyre style somewhere else when they leave college. There are few around with that style or maybe its that its not allowed loose in the mainstream media either way its good;)

Ive got a feeling its you

dyl10

I enjoyed how abusive it was, can't imagine I'd feel the same if it was about me though.
Not particularly clever or well written even, but it does the job of being different.

Jev/N

Didn't read it all but the few bits I did bother to muse over were just trashy, offensive shíte for the most part.

As everyone else has already discussed, the bit about Johnny was particularly bad and it seems like a pretty awful attempt at a Tallyrand take on things.

If someone had written about me in the same vein, I would want their head on a platter! Knowing Johnny, he'll probably take it all with a pinch of salt; hopefully.

Riamfada

:pAnd what I dont get is that there is PLENTY of dirt on certain people in UCD. Why dont they use the stuff we all know but wont talk about
