SCOTLAND LEADS THE WAY
So, it’s official. Scotland has decided to abolish the tuition fee. As of September 2012, tuition fees in Scotland are no-more. But for Scottish people only.
The definition of Scottish here is quite specific. Even if you were born in Scotland, had lived there the majority of your life but happen to have been resident elsewhere for longer than three years prior to the start of your course, you...

THE BLAME GAME.
Today, I cycled down the Walworth Road. I grew up mostly in this part of south London and I love it. Usually, returning to my teenage stomping ground fills me with a warm glow of nostalgia as I remember my former years. Here is the land that holds the McDonalds where I bunked off school, the army cadet detachment where I met my first boyfriend….the first hostel that I was able to call home. This...

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK
One wintery morning in December of last year I set out for a walk. On said walk, I came across an old white man of a much older generation than I, tending some bushes in one of my local parks. He said hello to me, I reciprocated the gesture and continued on my path. He began to walk with me and continued “So, are you off back home for Christmas then?”. I replied no, and we both went of...

BE STUPID
So, Diesel have released a new ad campaign. It’s tagline? BE STUPID. Capitalised and emboldened, it not only encourages but implores people to take risks, to explore beyond the sensible and the safe. Why? But for the sake of creativity, of course. The posters portray ‘stupid’ scenarios; a man with the trunk of an elephants tucked between his legs, a woman flashing her breasts at...

SKINNY MINNIE
Here are five things I learned this week at the gym.
There will always be an offensively naked woman in your changing room.
Spatial awareness is just lost on some people.
If you stand still on a treadmill while it is on, you will fall over.
Spinning is hardcore - just ask the woman who fell off her bike and broke her ankle.
Judging by the used pantyliner found stuck to the top of locker...

There's something about Jay-Z.
I’m not a fan of Jay Z.
Now don’t get me wrong I understand that he is something of a legend and do confess to owning a selection of his music on my iPod - mainly collaborations, might I add - but that’s really as far as it goes. Yet somehow, whenever the Jigga Man is the country I cannot help but get caught up in the hype. Case in point: September 2009 - Jay Z performs at The...
