On Saturday the 4th of February at 19:09pm, I sat down with my two fellow Lifestyle sub-editors to discuss the burning question on everybody's mind: What are our biggest icks? As three of the sexy sub-editors on the sexiest team that Newcastle University has to offer, the fans have been dying to know. And today, I'm here to deliver. 

ZH: Thank you for joining me tonight. You know the drill, so, Jenica Davis. Let's start with you. 

JD: Well I'm gonna have to start with a certain phenomenon I've witnessed, let's call it "Formula 1 Typing". I feel like this one is a common ick amongst students, but the aggressive typers in lecture halls - those robotic students who are typing away like it's their last ever lecture, or like they're at an Aldi checkout. 

ZH: And what do you have to say to these people, Jenica? 

JD: Just bring it down a notch. I am biased however, because - call me old-school - I take notes with pen and paper - which I've been told by typers is a massive ick in this day and age. So I guess this is quite the campus controversy.

I guess this is quite the campus controversy.

ZH: Thank you for sharing your story. And you, Molly? 

MJ: My biggest ick is condescending men, only made worse when they're proved wrong. While bouncy walks and dressing gowns score highly for many women, for me, there is nothing worse than "mansplaining". 

ZH: And how does this make you react? 

MJ: It makes me shudder when someone pretends to know more about something than they actually do, just to look better, or to get one up on you.

 

It makes me shudder

ZH: Wow. Well, thank you girls. I'll now wrap it up with mine - hats. I'm not talking you know, your standard cap when it's warm out. That's fine by me. I'm talking more in a club, or being a little bit more edgy by trying out a beret. You might laugh in disbelief, but I've seen it happen. It's haunting. 

*all three shudder* 

ZH: Thank you for joining me for this week's paper, we'll see you next week!
