Posted by Alan in Journalism on January 7, 2010

The email has caused another political headache for Gordon Brown
When it came to thinking up headlines to describe events at Westminster yesterday, newspaper offices up and down the land were presented with a perfect resource: the weather. Read the rest of this entry »
Resolutions
Posted by Alan in Journalism on January 3, 2010

Around this time of year everyone makes resolutions that they swear they’ll keep: lose weight, join the gym, give up smoking etc. I’m not usually one for New Year’s resolutions but perhaps I should pledge to make mine this: write on here more. Read the rest of this entry »

The joys of university
My shoulder aches from having to carry books that would kill a small child if dropped upon them from a significant height, my headaches are getting more and more frequent and my caffeine intake is erring on the side of dangerous. That can mean only one thing – I’m back at uni.
