Occupational Thoughts -

Just to say that I’m pretty busy right now, I have mountains of video to edit, homework deadlines approaching and a talk on town planning to deliver at the SWP branch meeting on Wednesday. I did go to the Rage Against New Labour rally in Brighton yesterday. It was sunny, nobody got angry and we were [...]

A note from General Studies was that when the Metropolitan Police force was formed in 1829 their uniform was chosen so that it would not resemble that of a soldier. They were meant to be servants of the people, approachable, friendly. British Bobbies do by and large have a reputation for being the nicest police [...]

I’ve just come back from a fantastic HIV talk by a lady called Emma Cole. She writes a blog which I am now subscribed to (I was the only one to take the leaflet with her blog on). She spoke truthfully and honestly without being flippant or dismissive. More importantly she regarded us as a crowd of adults [...]

ODST arrived yesterday, I filmed an unboxing video of sorts and was going to explain my first impressions on camera later on. It’s a bit too late now so I’m putting down my first impressions in writing. So far I’ve played through some of the first level and spent about an hour in firefight. I [...]

I jotted down this line in my Politick book some time ago and I’m publishing it now: There are 3 economic systems: Communism, Capitalism and Stealing.

I grabbed this from Gmod after a play on the verb ‘genommen’ in German. The word means ‘to take’ however in this case it also refers to the Heavy eating his sandwich. I don’t even know if it’s grammatically correct. Also at school one of the Media Studies teachers asked me if I was “that guy [...]

I thought I’d interrupt my normal flowing journalism to highlight how annoying it is that Facebook promotes crappy applications. Especially those which have no discernible function than to propagate themselves through people’s friends lists, snaring more and more people in their evil net. One good example is Fan Check, an app which using your personal information calculates who your biggest fans [...]

This post is inspired by an assertion by many politicians that the UK is ‘full up’. I vaguely remember writing on this subject before but seeing as this is a new blog I might as well go over it in more detail and splatter statistics all over the place. Firstly I’ll start by quoting the [...]

This is my first post hosted on this new server. To clarify what happened while I was not blogging, I spent at least three days bickering over layouts, there’s an annoying cap on file uploads which I fixed by editing a .ini file, at the same time I launched and nurtured a new blog for [...]
