Happy Christmas all




Hi everyone (anyone who still reads the blog)

Thought by way of Christmas greeting send you a couple of pics of my snowman-efforts on Saturday..."Alfred" (so named as half way through making he looked like Alfred Hitchcock) and a 7 ft tall cat a group of us made...a bit like Koons' puppy I thought. We had to build a ramp to roll the head up it was so heavy!

Am hopefully going to tick off one of those 'you should do this once in your life' type things—build an igloo.

Hope you are all enjoying studies and life.

Happy Christmas!

This Christmas' top single



Four and a half minutes of beautiful, riveting, X Factor-crunching silence:

Day of Action

On Wednesday 10th November over 50,000 students and education workers marched through central London: the biggest protest for education since Margaret Thatcher tried to introduce tuition fees in 1985. On Wednesday 24th students are walking out and demonstrating in a day of civil disobedience.

Funding cuts and fees of up to £9000 will burden students with debts of up to £50,000. The message from the Con-Dem government is clear: education is for the privileged only. We must fight for the principle: education is a right, not a privilege. Fund our future.

Current students may also be affected by staff cuts, fewer resources and a decline in quality of teaching.

The government claims cuts are a necessity while banks propped up by public funds rake in profits and pay out billions in bonuses and Britain’s highest earners have been allowed to dodge up to £40 billion in tax payments through a government agreement with Swiss banks. The cuts are an attack on all but the most privileged members of society, and on the public services that we rely on. Unite to fight the cuts.
