A Sports Scientist has fake tanned his own name across his back

We spoke to the Lord of the Vaile


From Streatham to the deepest corner of St. Luke’s, a legend walks amongst us. On the streets of Exe he’s known as “Lord of the Vaile”, under his parents’ roof he’s simply Robbie Vaile. His Surrey postcode don’t make him a gangster, but his cheeky charm and his artistic use of fake tan does.

Don’t cut yourself on his edginess

Robbie is the Sports Science second year who fake tanned his own surname onto his back in preparation for SSB. You might have caught him in the club the last couple of weeks flaunting his fake tan masterpiece for girls and admirers alike. We caught up with him and asked some very important questions.

Why fake tan your surname  to your back?

I don’t really think.

Have you always been creative?

I got a C in Design & Technology

What comments have you been getting on it?

I’ve been told it’s a standard thing I would do.

How do girls feel about it?

You tell me.

Is there more fake tan in your future?

Haha, no.

He’ll never forget how to spell his surname again

How would you describe yourself in three words?

Quite weird actually.

How would your mates describe you?

Really weird actually.

Likely to be seen at?

Moz.

Drink of choice?

Walkabout’s Snakey.

What’s a typical Wednesday night like for EURFC?

No comment.

Loosest moment of term one?

I did a sub 10 second VK last week.

We hope it was worth the orange stained bed sheets Robbie.
