I’m famously not very good at sports, I enjoy watching it. I’m big into F1 and can work my way around Football and Rugby and during the Wimbledon season can become a pro at tennis knowledge. But when it comes to it, I’m not very good at the actual physicality of sport. I grew up […]
Today saw the trial of three of the world’s top cricketers accused of exposing their sport to “rampant corruption” at Southwark crown court in central London. They deny charges of conspiracy to cheat and accept corrupt payments over a test match at Lords. A tabloid newspaper alleges they took bribes to bowl deliberate no bowls. […]
There a lot of depressing news stories doing the rounds at the moment from long-term problems like the Euro Zone crisis and fears of recession, to more recent stories like the PIP breast implants and the 16 deaths after the Costa Concordia hit rocks on the shore of Italy. Having spent the Christmas period back […]
Elderly women potter about the store with their granny-bags, a young boy drags a toy helicopter along the floor behind him and the workers bustle around filling the shelves. This was the scene at Twydall Woolworths as it faces its hardest time yet. Ironically you’d think that Woolworths would be the saviour of many in […]

1.Tim would like you to listen to the Today programme between 7.30 and 8am on Monday morning. As before, make a note of everyone who speaks and identify which radio device is being used: live interview, recorded interview, package and so on. Tim will deconstruct why it was put together the way you hear that […]
A thick outside edge off 23-year-old Indian bowler Basil Thampi down to third man, and a nonchalantly trotted single. An anticlimactic way to become the first batsman to reach 10,000 runs in Twenty20 cricket, but there you go. Maybe it was nerves. He hit the next ball he faced off the same bowler over mid-off […]
Hi All, Just some information for you regarding Friday. We will be basing our newsday around the format of the Today programme. There will be a three minute bulletin at the top of the programme and a one minute bulletin at quarter past the hour. We have decided on which two people we would like […]
I took James’ advice and saw Avatar on the biggest screen I could find, so naturally, I went to the IMAX in Greenwich. Yes, Avatar is a nice film, very vivid and colourful and it is a really well made sci-fi with nifty 3D. Although, if it wasn’t for the 3D stuff, I don’t think it […]

Roger, there’s only room in this band for one hysterical queen. Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury, who defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. It is a biographical film in 2018, directed by Bryan […]
I really wanted to use this blog post to discuss a New Year Resolution of mine, something that I’m absolutely passionate about. Let me assure you now that this post isn’t going to be a list of motivational and typical resolutions most of us set and forgot within a week. This is a really different […]
Was the audio from the second radio news day we did ever uploaded onto the site?
Since purchasing my Yamaha YPT-200 keyboard on Monday and not a day’s playing of the keyboard since Year 9 in Music, I have managed to learn some chords and catchy melodies. I listened to the songs carefully and worked out the chords and notes myself, because no song book will give you any great songs […]

The exam room for JN501 Convergent Journalism II tomorrow 26 May is G3-19.
The very first CollegeJourn “collaborative data-gathering project” was decided on Sunday night. The issue up for investigating is “How does the healthcare on my University campus compare to the healthcare at other Universities?” Then it dawned on me, do we even have a medical room on campus? A little bit of searching, et voila, we […]
Barack Obama’s path to the White House started in the New Year and has now resulted in his confirmed presidency and the dawn of a new America. Replacing George W Bush from the world’s top job is a mean feat and offers the world a chance to glimpse life in this newly sudden utopia generated […]
Today it was announced that France lost its AAA credit rating whilst the world’s stock markets slid. Can this really be considered as a surprise though as recently a high percentage of EU countries have had their credit ratings reduced?
According to their website, Mast Brothers is a New York based chocolate maker “introducing chocolate to the world with an obsessive attention to detail, meticulous craftsmanship, groundbreaking innovation, and inspirational simplicity. If you ask me, as I have never tasted the chocolate the brand produces (mostly because it is particularly hard to find in France), […]

Is it appropriate that the decision to release Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was made by the Scottish government? Was devolution supposed to give a Scottish minister, with no broader UK mandate, the power to influence British relations with the USA? I think not. The Independent invited me to explain why this decision can be regarded as an alarming example of devolution’s increasingly plentiful unintended consequences.
