I know I am meant to be studyin’ and all but I thought I needed a spot of sympathy. As of yesterday morning, I woke up to a gloriously stiff neck and an extremely painful muscle pull. If I tell you it took me more than 40 minutes to scoot out from bed, cos every time I moved a cm I was awarded with a spasm that took my breath away, you can guess what a neat start to my day it was.
Nearly gave myself a hernia trying to pick …

‘lo all! I’m taking a temp break from blogging as I need to knuckle down and get on with my coursework submissions / presentations.

I spent some jolly 10-minutes reading about young Max, 19, who’s off to India and Thailand, in a bid to discover the world and himself AND blog about it for Guardian. Normal? Harmless? Well, the entertaining commenters (451 at the last count) thought not, especially as it seemed more and more probable that Max’s daddy might be the Guardian’s travel writer. Comments ranged from a fairly normal ‘tut, tut’ to more vociferous ‘shame on you, a pox on you!’ kind of curses. Most Brits are getting their knickers in a …

Immigration has reared its head again in the UK and the past few days have seen a flurry of news articles on the impact immigrants are going to have on everything from population to house prices to job oppurtunities. While some flee to Britian, escaping from the hell their own country has become, others come here in search of better jobs. Latest population figures stating that by 2031, the country would boast 71 million people, is prompting people to ask the question: how can the UK cope?
With the widening of …
