I received an email from the college the other day bemoaning the fact that George is not showing a commitment to what he wants to do when he leaves college and failing do a "Personal Statement."
Wow, that's all a bit grown up isn't? As far as I can recall (It is a long time ago now) when I was seventeen I was still several years away from knowing who I was, let alone what I wanted to do. Unless someone has a set childhood dream of being a ...

The reason it is her iPad is because I don't have one because in my wisdom I didn't think I needed one and brought a kindle instead. Sadly, this money saving exercise was a false economy as my kindle is boring and iPads are great.

"Yay... at last, I've got BT Infinity."
"What you have it now...Wow....what's it like?"
"Well I haven't got it yet, but I have ordered it."
Her naivety was so profound, I felt like hugging her and telling her not worry and that everything would be all right in the end. BT has had me on the brink of suicide more times than I ...
