Lo

Following the death of South Africa’s former president and civilrights leader Nelson Mandela, sources have confirmed that for

the first time in history a politician is actually going to be missed.According to Professor Chew Kok from Imperial College London,“We have lost an international hero and a symbol of the resilienthuman spirit. Nelson Mandel’s death marks the first time a politi-cian will ever be missed by many and potentially a turning point

in global politics”

Fun Festive Edition

Nelson Mandela Becomes First Politician tobe missed

Hello there fresher, well done for making it through the first term of

Imperial. Freshers week seems so long ago now, but I hope you all have

some great memories and lots of new friends. Now is the Shit time to

cram everything ready for January exams. If you don’t have January

exams, then enjoy watching Home Alone for the 10,000th time and

enough Mince Pies to kill a small child.

Next term we will be planning a lot more exciting events and we really

want input from you! Santa/The Wardening team have listened and we

will have some great pre-drinking events next term. Wilson House still

has plenty of funding ready for your event ideas, so get suggesting ideas

at your next Wilson House committee meeting.

Other than that, we hope you have a great Christmas/New year. We hope

to see you all back safe and sound at home at Wilson next term.

Christmas in LondonWhat’s on in London this Christmas?

Christmas LightsLondon’s Christmas lights give the capital’s streets a glittering festive feel

every year, and in 2013 there are plenty of big names ready to flick the

switch and turn on the lights and decorations in Oxford Street, Covent

Garden, Regent Street, Westfield and more.

Christmas Markets

Among a raft of special festive events you’ll find foodie gifts, hand-crafted

pressies and usually a bit of glühwein to help you get into that merry spirit.

Some of the best are: ‘Christmas at Kew’, ‘Handmade Christmas at Greenwich’,

‘Dalston Christmas Market’ and the ‘Southbank Centre Christmas Market’

Ice Skating

With fairy lights and Christmas trees set to the backdrop of London’s stun-

ning institutions, a trip to an ice rink is a must-do for the views alone. You

are spoilt for choice in London with amazing ice-skating rinks at the Natural

History Museum, Canary Wharf, Hampton Court, Somerset House and Hyde

Park

Christmas Carols

If there’s anything that’s guaranteed to get you in the festive mood, it’s a

Christmas carol service – and there’s nowhere more impressive than one

by candlelight at the Royal Albert Hall. Happening on the 14, 21, 22, 23 of

December at either 7pm or 8pm; and 24 December (at 2.30pm and 7pm).

Reindeer Patting

You can get up close and personal with Rudolph, Dasher and Blitzen, the

wonderful festive experience is finished off nicely with a trip round Santa’sGrotto at London Zoo.

port of the week: Extreme Ironing

les: Part extreme sport, part performance art, part household chore,

treme ironing requires its partakers to carry an ironing board to

emote location, such as the top of a mountain, and iron items of

othing. According to the official website, extreme ironing is “theest danger sport that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor

tivity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt.”

igins: The true origin of extreme ironing is a topic that’s hotly

bated by... we’re guessing probably not that many people. Some

treme ironers reckon the sport started as a result of the band

onster Magnet ironing on an asteroid in the video for “Negasonic

enage Warhead” from their 1995 album Dopes to Infinity, whereas

hers claim it started two years later in 1997 in Leicester, England,

hen knitwear factory-worker Phil Shaw came home from a hard daythe job and decided to blow off some steam by rock climbing. He

uldn’t neglect his domestic duties however, so he took his ironing

ard and wrinkled laundry with him.

Sports Update: Wilson FCWilson House FC has made a good start in the Inter-halls Football league for

the season 2013-2014, having two wins and one draw.

The first match was against Holbein & Willis Jackson. Wilson’s strong mid-

field and scoring ability contributed to a comfortable 8-0 win.

Next, Wilson House FC played against Southside. It was a bad game in terms

of quality. Both teams committed many turnovers in midfield. On the first

half, Wilson was unable to score while having many chances, because of the

very strong defensive line of Southside.

However, Southside managed to score a lucky goal. Wilson came back to the

game and made it 1-1 in the beginning of second half. In terms of technical

ability, Wilson was the best team on the pitch, so after many chances the

second goal came on the 89th minute of the game from a bicycle kick by

the striker Elliot Roocroft. A thrilling game ended to a 2-1 win for Wilson

House FC!

The last game was against Pembridge Hall. The bad weather conditions

along with Pembridge’s defensive style of play did not allow Wilson House

to score, ending in a game with no goals.
