For most of the time at Plymouth, I helped produce the student newspaper "Fly", including printing. This is the inside of the Rotaprint Alpha-90 press - early 1986

Moira, Rik and Dave on "Trotsky's Mount", Dartmoor - 2nd October 1988

Looe, Cornwall. Some of Bray-feature's mates had come down to visit at the end of the second year

On now-defunct Television South West (TSW), Gus Honeybun (see TSW site) the rabbit used to present kids' birthday requests at around 5pm each day. He was something of a student cult-favourite - maybe because of various drug references such as the "Magic Bunny Hops" where he bounced up and down on a mushroom to a background of LSD-type effects. Gus visited the Student's Union a number of times (and appeared in Rag days), and is seen here near the main bar.

Another one of Nosher's "digs" - Mount Street, just of North Hill in Plymouth - winter 1986/87

The famous "Trotsky's Mount" photo, October 1988. This tor is somewhere off the main road from Yelverton to Princetown

Riki and Moira follow us up to the top of Sheepstor, near Burrator Resevoir, Dartmoor - 2nd October 1988

Another scene outside the Royal Oak, Meavy from October 1988. In a curious twist of fate, my Mother and Mike (stepdad2) ended up moving to Hoo Meavy just down the road a few years after I left, and my Sister got married in the church next to this very pub at the end of 2003

Riki and his sister, who we would uncharitably call "Cath the Fish"

One of our assignments on the Business Studies course was to "invent" a new drink and market it. We had also sorts of weird ingredients, including fish-bait flavouring, and came up with a Satsuma-ey-flavoured concoction we named "Satique". Very 80s.
