Comrades, hot on the heels of the piece regarding Denis Hiscox I am writing now to pay homage to another Ruskin star who reigned during 89-9.The whereabouts of this particular character is known - or at least his last known whereabouts and, to shield from his damaging disciplinary action from his employer, we shall disguise his true identity for now - it all depends on his agreeing to come to the reunion.
Our friend lived, and revelled, under the guise of the eponymous Viz character Sid the Sexist.
Our friend from Yorkshire was indeed the most profound exemplar of all that is to be frowned upon and denounced in the behaviour of a young man at Ruskin College. Unfortunately, even the most hostile actions from the Women's Committee did little to curb his reviled ways.
Sadly, this particular comrade did indeed make himself at home at Ruskin, and came to spend a disproprotionate degree of study time acting as Ruskin's unofficial diplomat to the various Oxford Colleges - typically his diplomatic missions were rebuffed.
I know there exists a picture of our Ruskin hero in his underpants. If he doesn't attend the Reunion this will be released, along with a detailed dossier of his shenanigans whilst at the College - you have been warned!

Ah, well do I recall the exploits of The Silver-tounged Cavalier of Headington. But I will recount them only with Sidney's permission.
