Would Michael have ever thrilled again?

Good evening friends, hope you're all swell. It's been a fair old while since I posted and to be honest, it's with good reason! I've been working full time and chipping away at my dissertation for third year (yes, I am already working on it) so I haven't really managed to find a spare moment to sit down with my laptop and write something. Seeing as though I managed to get away from work early this evening - a first for a long time - I thought I'd share my thoughts and opinions on something Continue reading [...]

In defence of determinism and predestination.

Good afternoon everyone. How are you all doing?

I suppose the main focus of this post is just to gloat about the fact that I have finally finished university for the year. That's it. All done...at Continue reading [...]

The Empire Strikes Back

No, Darth Vader hasn’t attacked the Rebel outpost on the icy world of Hoth, nor has Han Solo been frozen in carbonite for the decorative purposes of Jabba the Hutt’s palace. Unfortunately, nothing that exciting has happened. More the age-old establishment, the Church has caused upset in the House of Lords this week as an amendment to the benefits reform led by the Bishop of Ripon and Leeds is voted in place of the original bill, which would see the amount of benefit available to eligible households Continue reading [...]

United for the Kingdom

Good afternoon everyone. How are we all doing? I guess I should start by apologising in advance, for I am indeed about to bore you with a politically related piece (I'm not sure which you'd prefer: politics or religion?). Click 'back' on your browser now if you'd prefer to return to reading about what [enter random chav's name] got up to last night, and how far they got with the 'hottest guy' in the club because you won't find such trivial nonsense here. I've been inspired to write about something Continue reading [...]
