The Quad - LSE
The Quad
Originally uploaded by nogbad the bad
Having visited Manchester it's hard to think of a bigger contrast. Manchester takes on nearly twice as many undergraduates each year than the LSE has across all UG courses at the moment - they've got around 4,000 with a further 5,000 graduate students.
For those who don't know where it is the LSE is in Holborn, Central London. It rubs shoulders with the Royal Courts of Justice and the BBC and is a stone's throw from Theatreland - one of the halls of residence is on the corner of Drury Lane and High Holborn. The photo shows "The Quad" which is an indoor area used as a concert venue and nightclub but I've stayed in larger bedrooms - that really sums up the LSE (phsyically) in that it's tiny. But it certainly punches well above its weight when it comes to reputation and it was claimed that the average starting salary for an LSE graduate is £26k - I don't suppose they are all working in McDonalds!.

Social networking
This is my first ever video - not sure about the quality but I've learnt a lot by doing it
Barton
No real surprise I suppose -I'm glad he's held his hands up though. Sadly this young man has been made wealthy by football but remains a thug.
PM lied
Interesting post by Ray Corrigan (top clever blokey on web law and stuff) about the Prime Minister's assertions regarding the value of the national DNA database - the one which we'll all be on if the government has their way. ray has picked up on a report from GeneWatch UK (some of you think I make this stuff up!) which refutes those claims and states that Gordon was telling fibs. Check out Ray's post, it has links to the source. Ask yourself whether allowing any government to store your children's DNA is a good thing.

Learning behind bars
Nouse.co.uk » Learning behind barsGreat piece in the University of York student newspaper - it's about offender learning and gives a great insight into how offender learning works (albeit in just one prison - as the piece points out, all prisons are different). Worth reading!
Historical Football Kits!
Manchester City - Historical Football Kits
I love this - not just because it's about Manchester City but because it demonstrates, yet again, the lengths that some folk will go to when researching stuff that probably doesn't mean much in the whole scheme of things. Have a look - it's wonderful that someone has done this and even tracked down the kit worn in 1884, the cross reflects the origins of the team as a church club.
