Occupational Thoughts -

I’m back from holiday, while the parents went out running I stayed in the Youth Hostel and played Secret of Monkey Island. I clocked up over 6 hours of play time and finished it. I think it’s the first point-and-click adventure game I’ve ever completed, the story is engaging and brilliantly simple. The characters are believable and easy to [...]

Today it is the 25th of December, and we’re going off to Derbyshire Staffordshire later on this morning. But before we do, here’s my vlog on the arguments for piracy: It took me ten takes, I was using a sheet of notes and after the 6th one I dropped that and wrote out a script. It’s [...]

There’s a person in my politicks class who set out to defend the fashion industry. By opposition it’s my job to bring down the full brunt of my mighty rage upon this misguided soul. But then when working around the issue I decided I’m not entirely against fashion. As one of my solutions to this I brought out the reasoned argument [...]
