For the most part, the BBC News website is a pretty good effort, however there are times when it’s a real let-down. I keep missing a bit of news about Freddie Mercury on this mornings news. He’s getting a plaque in his home town of Feltham (sp?). There is no mention ( Read more... )

Got my appetite back, but gut is still upset. I now have a rotten headache that is manifesting as a strong pulsing pain at the top of the back of my head. No visual distortion so I don’t think it’s a migraine. Sudden movement makes it a lot worse, while staying still ( Read more... )

I have the lurgy. My stomach is rejecting anything solid. I can only use the computer for about 10 mins at a time. Any longer and my head is spinning. Can’t watch TV for the same reason. I’ve spent most of the day sleeping or quietly listening to an audiobook. I was ( Read more... )

I don’t actively dislike Gordon Brown, but I’m not a particular fan either. However, I do think he is getting a rather rough ride over his handwritten letter to the mother of a soldier killed in Afghanistan. Some of the ‘misspellings’ in the letter, shown on the BBC ( Read more... )

I would seriously recommend this book to any students of any age. It helped me a lot at college, and if the current reviews on Amazon are anything to go by, I am by no means the only one. Second hand from just over a quid, or just over a fiver for a new edition, it ( Read more... )
