HOW I GOT THE DISSERTATION HELP TO GET MY DISSERTATION AAPROVED !!!

When Dissertation Troubles Surrounded Me: This is an appreciative letter to thank the people who provided pin-point and professional dissertation help at the time when I was totally disappointed and had braced myself to meet the disaster regarding my PhD degree. It was the worst time of my life when I even thought of my dissertation disapproval. I was busy working and handling my social life. You can say that I was hanging in bala… Continue

Capturing Cardiff: The fortunes of Cardiff based TV production.

Media is one of the fastest growing industries in Cardiff, with many organisations based around the regenerated Cardiff Bay. But are things as healthy as they seem? Since the success of Russell T. Davies’ re-launch of Doctor Who and its sister programme Torchwood, Car… Continue

Wales' doublethink

One day, I decided to take on my time to go and give my blood. I am a real activist so this means a lot to me and I usually give my blood several times a year. So, after a short day of class, there I go, to the Students Union. I queue, as usual (I think I’m getting used to this very strange habit…). The only thing that differs is that I have to queue for quite a long time before someone actually talks to me. And when I say “quite a long time”, I mean 1 hour! Never mind… After that time, someone… Continue

Print Dinosaurs - did you copyright the name?

I wonder why I was attracted to this piece when it popped up on my Netvibes feeds Print Dinosaurs By the way, when I say "I don't want to start an argument" I do not mean "I don't want anyone to comment on this". Freedom of speech, (rights of) man! Continue

Blood and Ice

A pressing matter. I reckon Vanilla Ice looks like Daniel Day Lewis but not many seem to agree with me, so I took the liberty of photoshopping Mr Ice as Daniel Plainview from There Will Be Blood. Any takers?

Does going to university make you a better person?

Second marking the Ning blogs has been an interesting experience. Not only has it given me a chance to review the various arguments that exploded during the course of the module, it has also revealed a pretty persistent strand of thinking that can be characterised as: "I have paid a lot of money to go to university and this puts me in a superior position to the people who have not done so. "Therefore I will make a better journalist than those other people." I make no comment about this, I do… Continue

Truths About Your Workforce

“See I was talking about it with a guy in work, you know, about doing the LPC, and he was suggesting IT, because they’ve got these training programs where they’ll pay your fees and all the rest of it. But then, even if I do my LPC, I’ve still got to get my training contract, and that just seems like a lot of work. In truth, I just want to level my dwarf. Please, just all of them, leave me alone and let me get to level 70.”

He's off and flyin' as he guns the car around the track/He's jammin' down the pedal like he's never comin' back.

I was 15 years old when I first saw The Fast and the Furious. Here we had a film that would inspire a million youths to blemish their Vauxhall Novas with day-glo accessories in hopes of emulating their big screen hero Vin Diesel and his underground street racing subculture.

Thanks in no small part to the dubious e

Capturing Cardiff: Heroin addicts' stories

In spite of Cardiff’s shiny and new public facade, like any city its retained a ‘dark side’ where the city’s outcasts live in its shadows .Whilst the public buildings of the Bay are a symbol of the city’s ambition, people with aspirations of a more basic kind find themselves neglected due to an anomaly in Wales’ services for heroin addicts.

“You have to enter the criminal justice system and commit a crime to have any hope of treatment”

Are we a bunch of conservative technophobes?

Perhaps there are perfectly reasonable explanations for all us pretty much abandoning dear old Ning once Capturing Cardiff was over and done with. Christmas and all the associated visits from elderly relatives certainly take up a fair chunk of December and early January, and the public admin exam needed some TLC as well.

Nevertheless, I just came across a blog by Press Gazette columnist Martin… Continue
