Stumbling through a wooden box on a brisk Thursday night, dodging drunk, cascading bodies and avoiding ponds of sick. Where do you find yourself? Why UL’s favourite nightclub the Lodge of course! The Lodge is to nightclubs what Razor Ruddock was to footballers – inherently shit but loved for some abstract, innate reason. To express just how shit the Lodge really is, you only need take into account its saving feature. What draws people, in their hoards, to the Lodge? Is it the ‘craic’ that is to be had there? [...]

V-Log of a Vampire – Insomniacs take note
Don’t waste your twenties sleeping! They only last so long and there’s much to be doing! Like gaining weight, re-watching the entire series of ‘f.r.i.e.n.d.s’ and playing hundreds of hours of online gaming! Diary of a VAMPIRE from Irish actress and epic V-Logger Lisa Ní Laoire…
University of Limerick students have called for a boycott of The Sun newspaper
Thomond Student Times, a student-run newspaper on campus, has organised an online petition urging O’Mahony’s Bookshop to stop stocking the tabloid. It follows on from last week’s report in the newspaper which linked charity events in UL to anti-social behaviour. The report used an image of Sean O’Gorman, a participant in the Nearly Naked Mile, to highlight the “party time” enjoyed by UL students. It then went on to list reports of damage done to the College Court estate in Castletroy. UL students are furious at the misrepresentation. Evana Downes, [...]
Just Enough Education to Perform
The University of Limerick last month launched an Msc in Sports Performance, the first of its kind in Ireland. The post-graduate course is aimed at athletes and sports professionals, and can be undertaken on a full time (1 year) or part time (2 year) basis. “The course is very much research-informed from the fields of human physiology, biomechanics and nutrition meaning that the latest techniques and technology can be applied by the graduates as they become practitioners working with Irish teams and athletes, or further afield. The course balances theory and [...]
Your Problems Solved by Sorcha Ni Shuilleabhain Age 9
Dear Sorcha, I’m the General-President of UL’s top Modern Warfare 3 clan, which means my girlfriend, who is a statuesque blonde often has to spend evenings and weekends alone and this makes me feel terribly guilty. But as we say in our philosophy module, ‘Bros before Hoe’s’. Some Greek guy called Plate said it first I think. Thankfully, my girlfriend has struck up a friendship with a rugby player in the flat next to her’s in halls. Martin is a great guy, being selfless enough to allow my girlfriend to keep him company in the evenings, now [...]

Dear Sorcha, Graffiti in the senior common room ladies loos has it that My PhD supervisor, Professor ****** ** ************* (name redacted by Studenty’s lawyers), an unmarried lady in the twilight of her life, hasn’t been biblically acquainted with a person of the opposite sex for nigh on 300 years, if ever. Instead, she spends her evenings sipping gin laced Cup-a-Soups in the comfort of her housecoat and slippers and stroking her beloved pussy. However, the college has recently recruited a rather charming grey haired ex-prisoner for a gardening position and its clear to everyone that these two are [...]
Your Problems Solved by Sorcha Ni Shuilleabhain Age 9
Dear Sorcha, Although I’m brilliant in every way and have always been an over-achiever, I can’t seem to attract the attention in class, of the male lecturer who’s taking this term’s most important module; ‘Employees and How To Mess With Their Heads’. Short of offering oral, I don’t really know what I’m supposed to do to get ahead. Do you think there’s any strategy I can adopt which doesn’t involve me putting his you-know-what in my you-know-where? Louisa MSc Occupational Psychology UL Dear Louisa, It’s difficult to be best in [...]
Be part of a world record attempt this Saturday?
ATTENTION ALL ADRENALIN JUNKIES!! This Saturday, November 22, will see students from the University of Limerick, along with UL Campaign and Services Officer, Paddy Rockett, attempt to break a world record. The dedicated bunch will be living in the Dublin Eye for a massive 24 hours and 10 minutes in an effort to raise money for a very worthy cause – The Bone Marrow for Leukaemia Trust. Speaking to Paddy this week in the lead up to the event, he remarked on how nervous he was about taking part: “To [...]
Your Problems Solved by Sorcha Ni Shuilleabhain Age 9
Dear Sorcha, I’ve just started a business studies degree at UL and I seem to have attracted the attentions of another business studies 1st Yr, who I’m also sharing halls with. Unfortunately, she’s from a remote part of Donegal that I can’t even pronounce and is a bit dim. She insists on canvassing for Dana and has plastered Dana posters all over our apartment, which has now become a destination for cheap laughs for all. I can’t shake her off and she’s been asking me questions like, where do babies [...]
The Presidential Race – Is it all Just a Waste of Time?
The Presidential campaign has turned into nothing but a complete farce, if you ask me. None of the seven dwarfs…..er, I mean…candidates – Michael D Higgins, Sean Gallagher, Martin McGuinness, David Norris, Gay Mitchell, Dana Rosemary Scallon and Mary Davis – stand out as outstanding frontrunners at all and I don’t have the intention of voting in two week’s time. That said though, that’s not really my fault either – I think it’s a bit ridiculous scheduling the election on a Thursday – what about the thousands of students that [...]
