Belfield Bugler

1968

Anything out of the ordinary and risqué on campus should be welcomed I suppose.

I've heard reports of UCDU sabats running around trying to collect up copies before they fall into the hands of the unsuspecting belfield campus community.

Mushy

Don't wanna be attacking anybody, but I'd feel sorry for people who would take this seriously.

A one page A4 spoof newspaper that was spread all around campus today and yesterday.

Jack Bracken

Anyone feel like scanning and uploading one? I heard it was pretty funny and well written but haven't seen any of them around.

Riamfada

Didnt see it yesterday at all and I was around all day. Im also aware that only one of the Sabats was in yesterday after class rep training so I dont think they were running around campus.

I agree! The people demand answers and freesheet satirical newspapers!

dajaffa

Well one lovely article in it is how I'm (a) still Women's Officer and (b) in favour of backstreet abortions :rolleyes:


(which for the record I am neither)

The_Minister

I thought that the OP had mispelled burgler.

This made the first post confusing.

RandomName2

Certain this thread was about a misspelled burglar (better look here in case my bike's at risk...)

Just in relation to the last Tribune-

Does anybody else find it a bit odd the whole thing about the SU joining with Generation Yes, and now Dan Hayden going nuts over pro-lisbon posters being stolen?

I have one, but not to hand. I might write up what it says tomorrow. Gist of it was slandering some SU officers in some pretty absurd ways. Amusing stuff for all involved.



Ok, amusing stuff for me. Whatever.

It would appear that the "Bugler" was removed and binned from what I've heard.

Riamfada

Can anyone scan and upload.

i found the bugle(r) boring and unfunny.

The_Minister

In my day the Bugler was unfunny, poorly written, and a barely cloaked attack on Union Officers.

Hopefully it has changed.

well this was quite funny, reasonably well written, and a fairly open attack on SU officers, so I'd say, yes, it has changed, at least a bit.

Jack Bracken

There was another one today which was kinda funny, but kinda stupid. I'll scan it and upload later

Articles include

- 'Sharia Law To Be Introduced In Ag Science'
- 'New Student Traveller Card For UCD'
- 'C&E Society Bankrupt'
- 'Male 'Wet Pants' Competition For UCD'

Mushy

Didn't find this one as funny today, but still, better than not laughing at all.

Riamfada

Im on campus today, Ill grab one. Let hope they use their publication to actually highlight the issues in the SU, Societies and Admin rather than using it as an excuse to write "poopy" across campus

Manage to pick one up? I had a look for one on my travels around the campus, but didn't manage to get one.

Sad Professor

Here's a scan for anyone who missed it.

In before me, apparently. ;D

Biggest load of **** I have ever read. Im sure its supposed to be funny in a post modern sort of way but its pretty pathetic. Wont bother picking up a copy, cheers for the upload.

by the way here is my attempt at post modern surrealist humor

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.

delta_bravo

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.

Chucky the tree

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.

who is that lad theyve hes fairly good, stands out seems like hes been around a looong time though??

The Agogo

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_Minister

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

mloc

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.

RandomName2

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.
