Avocados – Editorial By Lauren Mulvihill

By Lauren Mulvihill   Posted in Byline Editorial
Posted on December 3, 2016November 28, 2016

Y’know what I just don’t understand? Avocados. I don’t get the fascination. I think they have a weird texture, and I think they taste like soil. Moreover, they go off too damn quickly, and they look like large, mummified pears. Yet, my house is full of them, because my housemates adore the things. They put…

Altruists Are Happier – Editorial by Lauren Mulvihill

Posted on December 1, 2016November 27, 2016

A few Christmases ago I took the opportunity to conduct a small psychological experiment because I had far too much free time. I had been reading online articles on the positive effects of altruism that week, and far be it from me to believe anything I read on the Internet without fact-checking it in some…

A local man has had to lie down for a bit following a home visit from a friend, who thought it would be a “nice idea” to show up without any warning. John McCarthy, 22, who lives in the Mardyke area, was left ‘shook’ after a childhood friend arrived on his doorstep, unannounced, on Tuesday…

The Byline Travel Guide to Edinburgh

By Lauren Mulvihill   Posted in Byline Humour
Posted on November 7, 2016November 3, 2016

Kilts. Popcorn. Witchcraft. Cowboys who hate modern technology. What do all these things have in common? Edinburgh, is what. If you’ve ever been on the fence about whether travelling to the Scottish capital is worth it, thistle convince you that it most certainly is (‘thistle’, get it? Scottish humour). This UNESCO City of Literature is…

When You Try Your Best… – Editorial from Lauren Mulvihill

By Lauren Mulvihill   Posted in Byline Editorial
Posted on October 25, 2016October 16, 2016

Maps seem to be a big trend nowadays. No, I’m not being shady. I have one myself – it’s up on the wall above my desk. Of course, a lot of people hang maps around their houses for aesthetic purposes: I’m almost certain that the earth doesn’t have a pleasant pastel tone if you were…

Sometimes I Cry at Nice Things

Posted on October 4, 2016October 11, 2016

I stress-craft. Some people smoke, some people go for a run – I craft. We all have our vices. There’s just something satisfying about stabbing a crochet hook through a ball of wool when you ought to be worrying about college or money or relationships or the rift in the British branch of the Labour…

Posted on October 3, 2016October 11, 2016

Some fashions are born great; some have greatness thrust upon them. Most fashion, by definition, is pretty average. There is yet more that, like anybody who’s ever taken joy in anonymously insulting someone over the internet, are just insufferable.
