Being a fresher… Well, it’s an exciting experience. You usually live in student accommodation with total strangers and get to know them by getting drunk together. You start your course and realise halfway through the last term that first year counts for nothing in your degree. Yeah, freshers year is one which you’ll never forget; unless that is, you spend the entirety of it off your face…
I have to admit I had no idea what this show was when I first started watching it. I know for a fact that it’s a very popular show on ABC in America, but how would the jolly old English version play out instead?
Why should you care?
Well because it’s one of the best games ever created for an iOS device, ever.
In 2006, the country was graced with a wonderful new drama, Waterloo Road. Who’d have thought that 8 years down the line we’d have had 9 series? Definitely not us.
Last week the show returned to our screens on BBC1, after the Christmas break, bringing yet more drama and troublesome teens to the school. Continue reading
It’s a pretty well known fact that Lincoln’s award winning Steep Hill is actually completely flat.
And if you believe that, you’ve clearly never been to Lincoln. Steep Hill is actually very, very steep.
DIDYOUWATCHSHERLOCKTHISWEEKEND!? Okay, take a deep breath and let me reiterate that. Did you watch Sherlock this weekend? We know! OHMYGOD!!!! Before you carry on reading this, we will warn you that it will be full of spoilers of series 3. This is elementary, my dear Watson. Continue reading
I had the utter joy of seeing this film just before Christmas, and let me say, if you liked the first one, you’ll love this new rendition.
Now, I know in Lincoln you’ll probably be spoilt for choice when it comes to looking for a cafe or tea room. If you think Lincoln is running short on this type of place then seriously, you must love a hot beverage.
If you like tea rooms and pastel colours, this might just be up your street. Or hill.
The Shed. You’ve probably been there and if you’re a Lincolnite, you’re probably a fan.
But at the back end of last year, tragedy hit when they announced they were to close and become an office block… Dun Dun Dun!
The University of Lincoln’s Student Union came to the rescue (such heroic specimens), announcing they’d save The Shed and make it a student bar.
This brand new Shed (a.k.a The Shed Student Bar – what a mouthful) opened today.
They’ve got some shiny new beer pumps (shiny, oooh. They’re like weird round mirrors. Literally, you can check yourself out) along with lots of new beers (yay!) and free wifi that now actually works. This is of course the highlight and means you now have no excuse not to have those group meetings you’ve been putting off for oh so long.
It’s also cheaper. The SU have wangled some much better prices on the drinks. If you like Carlsberg, it’s now £2.
At the moment they’re still using those wonderful old (sometimes a bit sticky) tables that we all know and love. This will be changing soon (yay for a new wood smell)!
The menus and offers will be changed in September, but until then, the ones we know and love will keep going. This means Shed Wednesdays and Half Price Breakfast Thursdays shall live on (wahoo). You may or may not see us writing our posts in there. If you do, approach us with caution.
One of the films we told you to you watch in 2014 was American Hustle. What a better way than to review a movie we mentioned. Has American Hustle, hustled its way into winning any awards? Well just carry on reading. Continue reading
So, the entire world is currently going mental about New Year Resolutions. “Yeah I’m going to be a completely different person”, “I’m going to be super healthy”, “I’m going to go to the gym everyday”, “I’m on a juice detox for January” etc etc. Yeah, yeah, we get it. New Year new you right?
We at Lincoln & That understand the whole wanting to change thing, but why do all the usual things? Why go jogging when you know you’ll spend most of your morning sat on a bench? Why diet when you know on day 8 you’ll be scoffing a McDonald’s cheeseburger? Here’s a picture just to tease you if you are dieting by the way.
How about trying something COMPLETELY different? You never know what might happen. Here are some of our suggestions for an extreme (we mean really extreme) change:
We hope your New Year resolutions (whether you’re still keeping them or have already broken them) have been made a little more exciting by watching these videos.
Lincoln has a lot of bars, it’s the perfect place to be if you love a good bar crawl. With a delightful mix of big chains and independent bars, Kind is one of Lincoln’s unique bars. You’ve probably passed it without even realising.
