Nouse Web Archives York’s Top 50 Twitter Feeds Page 1 of 16 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Freshers › Freshers' Lifestyle › Colleges Societies YUSU Campus City Domestic Survival Sport York’s Top 50 Twitter Feeds By Callum McCulloch, Deputy Music Editor (2014/15) Wednesday 16 September 2015 This may look like a Tab style filler article. And yes, that is exactly what it is. After all, my inflated sense of self importance needs an outlet. Sit back, relax, and try not to get too annoyed if you haven’t been featured. Here are the 50 Best Twitter Feeds in York. 50. Stephen Harper @TheMeeves Stephen asked to be included in this list. He’s the Press & Publicity and Disabilities Officer for University of York Labour Club. Give him a follow. Or don’t. I’m not fussed. “People who've deleted me off Facebook are now connecting with me on LinkedIn… So I'm a shit friend but a good colleague then, is that it!? — Stephen Harper (@TheMeeves) September 7, 2015 ” 49. Uni of York Library @UoYLibrary Painfully dull, and updated with alarming regularity, I much prefer to pretend this account is a parody. Hats off to whoever is in charge of this page, they cannot be getting paid enough. Follow for pure unadulterated mundanity. “The lift in the Fairhurst building is out of order – the lift suppliers hope to fix it by tomorrow. Apologies for the inconvenience. — Uni of York Library (@UoYLibrary) August 10, 2015 ” 48. UYNC @u_y_n_c The University of York Netball Club are a dedicated and enthusiastic group of girls, comprising of 3 teams who compete weekly to a high level. Their twitter account provides important details for freshers’ such as pre-season and trials as well as keeping everyone updated with fixtures, results and socials. Worth a follow if you plan on representing the University at netball or are simply just a fan. http://nouse.co.uk/2015/09/16/yorks-top-50-twitter-feeds Archived 11 Dec 2018 10:13:10 Nouse Web Archives York’s Top 50 Twitter Feeds Page 2 of 16 “Our pre season dates are set and we are buzzing to get started! #UYNC #UOY #Netball — UoY Netball Club (@u_y_n_c) September 10, 2015 ” 47. Earworm Records @EarwormRecords Earworm is one of York’s finest record stores and is snuggly tucked away in an alleyway just off Goodramgate. Offering a wide variety of genres, most notably hip-hop, house, techno and disco this glorious shop is not to be missed. Follow them on twitter for regular stock updates and news of new releases. “Thanks 4 little mention on the @BBClamacqshow on @BBC6Music yesterday 4 been 1 of the smallest vinyl emporiums in uk http://t.co/waUTzNHWJg — Earworm Records (@EarwormRecords) September 3, 2015 ” 46. Students in York @Students InYork This feed may conflate ourselves with the dreaded enemy – YSJ – but has been known to offer up a witticism or two. “At school: "oh look it's 9 PM, I should get to bed soon." At university: "oh look it's already 2 AM, maybe I should eat dinner." — Students in York (@StudentsInYork) July 19, 2015 ” 45. Tom Harle @Harlesy96 Tom is Nouse’s Sports editor and studies English and Politics. You’re likely to see him patrolling 22 acres covering whatever sport is being played. He really knows what he’s doing which is very apparent from all of his college football coverage. One drawback however; he probably tweets too much about Derby County. “Ambitious project with @yorknouse to profile every sports club @UniOfYork, from cricket to caving & potholing. Here: http://t.co/bdZvb9cDi8 — Tom Harle (@Harlesy96) August 27, 2015 ” 44. YUSU Bars @YUSUBars An invaluable account keeping students updated with opening times and offers from the University’s four main campus bars. http://nouse.co.uk/2015/09/16/yorks-top-50-twitter-feeds Archived 11 Dec 2018 10:13:10 Nouse Web Archives York’s Top 50 Twitter Feeds Page 3 of 16 The Lounge is in James College located next to the RKC. Courtyard can be found in Derwent College next to Hendrix Hall, and unfortunately for my bank account, was located 20 metres from my room last year. The Kitchen is situated next to the Library, and despite being in Alcuin, is actually really good. And The Glasshouse, so I’m told, is somewhere on Hes East. “We reserve the right to break the legs of any person seen drinking their own alcohol. #YUSUElections — YUSUBars (@YUSUBars) February 17, 2015 ” 43. Scott Dawson @YUSU_Welfare Welfare & Communities Officer Scott Dawson. Pretty dull account, as you’d expect with anything that has ‘welfare’ in the title, but worth a follow to keep up to date with all things welfare on campus. “Hi everyone! My name is Scott and I am the new YUSU Welfare and Community Officer for 2015-6! #excitingtimes @yorkunisu — Scott Dawson (@YUSU_Welfare) July 7, 2015 ” 42. Rob Middleton @robmid4 Rob is another one of Nouse’s sports editors and spends far too much of his time on 22 acres covering sport for our benefit. Also, apparently he supports Liverpool, although he never tweets about it… “Falcao to come on and score with his penis. — Robert Middleton (@robmid4) August 8, 2015 ” 41. Beki Elmer @bekielmer Beki is a 3rd year History student and Fashion editor of Nouse. Her feed is full of everything you’d expect from a fashion editor, including details of recent purchases and behind the scenes shots from photo shoots. Her coverage of London Fashion Week in itself merits a follow. “Train tickets booked down to London to go and cover Fashion Week again with @yorknouse – counting down the days! #ss16 #lfw — Beki Elmer (@bekielmer) August 24, 2015 ” 40. Alex Light @AnAwfulSound http://nouse.co.uk/2015/09/16/yorks-top-50-twitter-feeds Archived 11 Dec 2018 10:13:10 Nouse Web Archives York’s Top 50 Twitter Feeds Page 4 of 16 Alex is an award winning radio marketer, Station Manager of URY and Media Chair for YUSU. Quite the credentials. He has also been instrumental in the technological advances seen over at URY including the installation of in-studio webcams. Give him a follow for a behind the scenes look at what it takes to run a studio radio station. “My only tip to any #UoYFresher is to join a society, @URY1350 completely changed my univeristy experience for the better — Alex Light (@AnAwfulSound) August 6, 2015 ” 39. Bertie Wnek @wnekaj Mans been representing the UK Grime scene since day. Bertie’s tweets are either about hip-hop or politics, and sometimes even both. This Derwent College AFC stalwart spent his summer chilling with Stormzy and Flowdan and is quite the freestyle guru himself. Give him a follow, he’ll probably hate it. “Does anyone else find it ironic that Murdoch's itv news advertises itself using Kanye West's 'Power' as the backing song? — Bertie Wnek (@wnekaj) April 7, 2015 ” 38. York Lacrosse @YorkLacross UYLC is one of the most popular clubs here at York, with two men’s teams, two women’s teams, development squads and a thriving social side. They are renowned for being the most attractive sports club on campus but in the words of Derek Zoolander “there’s a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking”, so thankfully they’re pretty good at their sport too. “Some Saturday morning wisdom for you all. PS buy your Presidents tickets. pic.twitter.com/01GpMQ5ElL — York Lacrosse (UYLC) (@YorkLacrosse) April 11, 2015 ” 37. Chris Wall @yusuactivities Chris Wall is the re-elected YUSUActivities officer and his job is promoting campus’ 64 societies, 14 volunteering projects and various RAG events. He’s an enthusiastic and driven guy and various details of the extra-curricular activities we can all get involved in are frequently featured on his twitter feed. “So many sports available as part of YUSU's new initiative this year, Give It A Go! Give them a follow now, they're @GIAGYork http://nouse.co.uk/2015/09/16/yorks-top-50-twitter-feeds Archived 11 Dec 2018 10:13:10 Nouse Web Archives York’s Top 50 Twitter Feeds Page 5 of 16 — Chris Wall (@yusuactivities) July 30, 2015 ” 36. Willow Student @WillowStudent Willow’s closing down became a national news story earlier this summer which was either testament to the cult status of everyone’s favourite Chinese restaurant/sweaty disco or how much we love a shit night out. Hopefully this feed will remain alive, but if not, it can act as an historical document, reminding us of the good old days when you could get kicked out for eating too many prawn crackers or for touching the ceiling. “BREAKING: York plummets in university ranking following Willow closure. Student experience 'no longer good enough. Kuda is not an option' — Willow Student (@willowstudent) July 26, 2015 ” 35. Freakin @freakinyork Freakin have been bringing underground house music and techno to York since 1997. If you don’t think York’s music scene is broad enough, you’re clearly looking in the wrong place, give them a follow to make sure you don’t miss out. Recent nights have seen Daniel Avery and Krysko performing and hopefully Freakin will remain instrumental in bringing higher profile acts to York. “Huge thanks for last night. Crowd were on fire and the 3 plus hours from @danielmarkavery were exceptional, thanks mate! Top top night x — freakin (@freakinyork) February 8, 2015 ” 34. UYAFC @UYAFC Keep an eye on the university’s star performers so you’re clued up for when it comes to choosing your Nouse College Cup fantasy football team in 3rd term.
