The Novelty of New Year

So, the last blog of 2007. Better still, the last themed blog of 2007! I always find the blogs that readers (what do you mean Who? All the billions of people who read my blog, of course!) have expectations about are always the hardest to write, so good riddance to them and hello 2008. Now is [...]

I’m Dream-ing of a White Chocolate

When I asked my fiancee what I should blog about today, she said that I should write it on, “how girlfriends and wives are always abandoned for football and horse racing”. Admittedly, the first thing I did when I got to the computer was look at the BBC Sport News. Yesterday, having spent Christmas in Dedham [...]

It’s the Season to re-Reason

So, I should start by saying Happy Christmas to everyone. Which I will do now…
Happy Christmas!
I’ve had a bit of a nomadic Christmas holiday so far this year. Beginning with a 5 hour train journey to Pembrokeshire, ending with spending Christmas day itself with my Mum’s side of the family in the opposite side of [...]

The Christmas Shop Review!

What would Christmas be without the stress of Christmas shopping? Possibly more of a time for goodwill to all men, instead of a time to shoulder someone as they go past. Almost everyone has to deal with it at some stage, to the extent that you start wishing that you were on your own and [...]

X-factor’s Bone Idol

I like 100s of thousands watched the final of the X-factor on Saturday (more from boredom than choice) and it brought back a lot of memories, mainly ones of how much I now hate that show. Well done to Leon, he will almost certainly get a Christmas number one, but will he release more than a second album? He seemed like a genuinely [...]

A Yesterday of Nostalgia

It’s a sad time of year. The days are darker and colder, and the end of University life is a term nearer. Plus, you get nice depressing blogs like this one. I begin today the process of leaving what has been my habitat for the first term. Some will be happy in the fact that [...]

Democracy = Freedom?

The best dictatorship is one with the illusion of freedom. Last weekend I went home (everyone does it around here so it must be hip), and over dinner the Giraffe and the Pelly and me (my father, brother and I) had a discussion about democracy (again, possibly an argument). I know what you’re thinking so [...]

Pretentious, Moi?

This will be a quick one today as I need to write an essay, but I was having a discussion with an A-Level student studying psychology (Okay! An argument!) about the definition of insanity. I’m not talking about the fabulous radio station, but madness itself. However, basically, I made a statement along the lines of [...]

Over the Hill

Well it’s official. There’s no use hiding behind the transparent wall of immaturity now. I’m 21. If I wasn’t a student still, there would be the word “adult” tatooed onto my left buttock (please note that I won’t actually be doing this once I graduate. My Birthday was on Saturday and thanks to my family [...]
