Loading ...In hindsight, spending a week last year telling everyone that you were in fact “Funnier than Jesus”, was not the smartest move. Being law students, we should have realised that we were setting a dangerous precedent, that may be difficult to uphold. Thus, we had a number of options before us to deliver to you on our core promise to bring back the hilarity to the Hilarian.
OPTION ONE: Place all hope in the power of Novelty Font. After all, normal sentences can be rendered highly entertaining using nothing more than COMIC SANS MS.
OPTION TWO: Allow The Hilarian to only be distributed and read after 3am on the weekend. We’re pretty sure that when ordering McNuggets becomes hilarious, we do too.
OPTION THREE Write something half-decent and hope that nobody calls your bluff about being the modern reincarnation of Oscar Wilde.
Lucky for us, none of the options turned out to be necessary. Instead, we have bribed, cajoled, offered to buy drinks and/or perform sexual favours in order to bring you a jam-packed first edition which hopes to offer you a lighter side to Ligertwood. Admittedly, that isn’t too hard, given our building seems to resemble the same apocalyptic state of the global economy at the moment. The latter is probably more likely to get into gear before university renovations are finished too.
So go on, delve between the covers to find all your answers to life’s questions. Surreptitiously sneak a look at the hot intellectual pin-ups we’ve managed to obtain for your viewing pleasure. Probably don’t cite us as a legitimate legal authority. Enjoy first semester back and you’ll be hearing from us next term.
Your faithful Eds,
Georgia, James and Chris

ABOUT US 
James has recently turned his attention to law after time as a professional classical musician, investment banker, Subway sandwich artist and university Maths tutor. Student media seemed like a logical next step.
Georgia is a fifth year law student with Honours in Politics. She debates, procrastinates and drinks too many gin and tonics for her own good. Not necessarily in that order.
Chris is a lot nicer the above two. He sells drugs legally…at a pharmacy. He has an Arts Degree majoring in history and knows everyone. Really. It’s a little scary.
Thank You to Sophie Goldsworthy, Harry Black, Kat Beazley, Sam Cummings, Varin Singh and Rowan Nicholson for either contributing or showing us the many tangled ropes of Adobe Indesign.
