Footballers are being portrayed to the public as overpaid, inconsiderate people. A prime example of this is Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo.

Are national ID cards necessary?

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 16:20:00 +0100

The National Identity Card scheme is a government initiative which will see every British citizen placed on a register and given a national ID card in a bid to “strengthen national security” and to “protect people’s identity”. The register, which will hold biometric information and a ’biographical footprint’ including date of birth etc, is due to be introduced initially in 2009 for foreign nationals and key workers. However, far from being confidently supported by the general public, the scheme is proving to be more controversial than ever, with a 2006 study reporting a 15 per cent drop in support, to 46 per cent.

I found it quite disturbing when looking at the news online the other day. A huge picture of Amy Winehouse took up the whole screen along with a story about how a waxwork model of herself had been unveiled at Madame Tussauds.

Why I’m in no great hurry to grow up

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 08:54:20 +0100

Imagine if your life goals were handed to you on a plate tomorrow. You land your dream job, meet ‘the one’ and get a mortgage. What a nightmare that would be! My number one priorities are basking in immaturity and continuing my search for the ultimate fun.

Uni’s value cannot be underestimated

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 08:31:17 +0100

As more and more people are enticed into further education, the rewards may seem ever more distant. The reason for going to university for many is to increase the chances of a better career, but after three years, are students any closer to their dream job?

Staying in is the new going out...

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 08:44:46 +0100

Going on a night out is great. Getting all dressed up, hair and make-up done, meeting up with all your mates for a chat and a bit of a laugh, maybe a little flirting with someone new, drinking a little wine or beer, listening to some nice music, and a bit of dancing.
