		<title>Tomorrow&#8217;s World, Today&#8217;s Problem</title>

Devastation and Reform &#8211; Relient K

		<title>Standing tall against the wind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Change is afoot.
I’ve never stood eye-to-eye politically with the village I have called, for the last 24 years, my home. Whilst not outwardly party political, my family has always had a left-leaning outlook on life that is at odds with the traditionally Conservative views of the Majority. To add further flies to the ointment, I’ve [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pirate85.wordpress.com&blog=5173262&post=645&subd=pirate85&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Brave new world or evil regime?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last time I was in the States I came face to face with the failings of their health care system. We had been out celebrating our 21st birthday and my sister tripped over the front step in the dark. A friend of ours rushed forward to make sure that the storm door didn&#8217;t slam shut [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pirate85.wordpress.com&blog=5173262&post=632&subd=pirate85&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First off, I&#8217;m sorry once again &#8211; this blog seems to have died a million deaths these last 2 months.. and rather than taking time to reconnect, I seem to be adding more and more to my plate &#8211; I am now officially a blogger for Review Artists and part of the Bright Young Folk admin [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pirate85.wordpress.com&blog=5173262&post=624&subd=pirate85&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Recession bites!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week it&#8217;s been impossible to open the paper without seeing at least one article denouncing the likelihood of me graduating with a job in October. With at least 50 graduates applying for every position, the odds are, unfortunately, stacked against me. It&#8217;s doom and gloom reading.
But it wasn&#8217;t &#8217;til today that the reality of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pirate85.wordpress.com&blog=5173262&post=618&subd=pirate85&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Dragon slaying, London style!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been left feeling slightly embarrassed by overt displays of pariotism &#8211; even singing the National Anthem makes me feel uncomfortable. So it&#8217;s probably not that surprising to hear I&#8217;ve never celebrated St George&#8217;s Day.
But a couple of weeks ago [sorry] I found myself shoulder-to-shoulder with the flag waving brigade in the shadow of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pirate85.wordpress.com&blog=5173262&post=563&subd=pirate85&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Spreading myself thinner than 4g of Marmite!!!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those of you wondering why I haven&#8217;t updated for a while &#8211; sorry
Thanks for being such regular readers! I sometimes get the impression of being a midnight radio presenter &#8211; broadcasting to a sleeping world.
It&#8217;s been a bit hectic of late &#8211; first with exams, then crazy journeys, then more exams and a stint [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pirate85.wordpress.com&blog=5173262&post=590&subd=pirate85&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Can a computer rock?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For me computer games begin and end with Lemmings. I just don&#8217;t have the patience to work out the key sequences for anything flashier. But now the age of the Wii and XBox is upon us it would seem that computer games are branching out&#8230;
So, last night I went to &#8216;band practice&#8217;.
Without regular rehearsals or [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pirate85.wordpress.com&blog=5173262&post=586&subd=pirate85&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

But driving 3 hours to Plymouth and back for a concert&#8230;. you&#8217;d have to be mad.

		<title>DENIED!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Decision day!
We won&#8217;t be burning our rubbish in Cornwall!
It&#8217;s been a long, drawn-out process&#8230; there have been cries of corruption and reports being spiked, but the County Council has refused planning permission to build a waste incinerator in the county.
I have to say, having followed the proposals since I arrived in the county in September, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pirate85.wordpress.com&blog=5173262&post=551&subd=pirate85&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
