OPINION: Drinks are too expensive already

 

Friday, January 28th, 2011

 

Last year, whilst at a consultation meeting organised by Queen’s Students’ Union I was informed by a representative that the SU has higher alcohol prices than the vast majority of student unions in Great Britain and the north of Ireland. As I grew up and first started drinking in England this came as no surprise to me. The so-called ‘offers’ available at Belfast’s nightclubs and bars are nothing in comparison to what can be found across the water. Just a few weeks ago I was in Liverpool and found a fantastic nightclub which sold pints at 70p to students every night of the week.

OPINION: Ulster Says No to Creationism

 

Monday, May 31st, 2010

 

One of the most shocking aspects of life in Ulster for the outside visitor, is the grip fundamentalist Christianity has upon the Protestant community. I arrived here 2 years ago as an aspiring Physics student from England and quickly settled in, making friends on both sides of the divide. However, as a staunch fan of science and the so called ‘new atheist’ movement launched by people such as Professor Richard Dawkins, I was shocked to find out how many of my new friends were literal Christian believers.
