Dyslexic Translator Sketch
A sketch which I wrote a few days ago but performed last night with my brother for a camping ‘talent show’. The sketch went very well in real life. I have uploaded it for you all after a couple of requests. Hope you enjoy it.
Person 1: To my left stands Robert
Person 2: To my right stands me
Person 1: Well, I hope you are all feeling good
Person 2: I hope you are all feeling well good

Google is offering over a Million eBooks for Download
Back in 2006 publishers and authors gathered together to file a class action lawsuit against Google Books. It is easy to see why, digital downloads are threatening the music industry and books could be perceived to becoming under the same threat. Just as Google revolutionised the way we navigate the internet, they are now assisting the future of books.
Today the Twitter stream is ablaze as Mashable...

No Comment
With the uprising of Twitter and other social networking websites I have come to ask myself a simple question…
Do people still bother to leave comments on blog articles?
I think leaving comments on blogs might be in decline. Only you can prove me wrong.

As Tala Vista: Happy Birthday Unix!
This article has nothing to do with student life, even University happenings. Will even be fairly arbour in nature. I want to ask you a simply question. Why would somebody remove Windows Vista on their laptop? Well, I took the honour to type up a little list earlier.
Frustration
Annoyance that everything runs slowly even on the fastest system
Every waking hour is blighted with pop-up system messages

Driven mad by comments
Really this post is a little bit of a rant and I hope that you will forgive me for this. I just can’t understand the type of ill-thought work patriotism some individuals have. The menial, tedious argument that choosing a degree is pointless, a waste of money. The sort of people who say that they, as tax payers, fund our education. People specifically who seem to have enough time in their ‘so called’...
A Level Results
Receiving my A levels last year was a fairly messy business. The tutor for my Cisco Networking course decided to leave during my year 12 studies which resulted in a rushed year 13 to convert my CCNA qualifications into a BTEC. The English Language degree didn’t come through with a certificate since a registration error was made at UCAS headquarters. So phoning up the University of Gloucestershire...
Future of Newspapers: eReaders?
It would be an understatement to say we are living in changing times, revolution has called and Rubert Murdoch blew the final whistle. Murdoch has said that there is a plan to release a News Corp e reader which will be in direct completion to Amazon’s Kindle. The Kindle e reader allows books, magazines and newspapers to be wirelessly downloaded directly to the device.
Downloading of newspapers,...
94U Update
As of writing this blog post I have literally (or audibly) come off Gloucestershire Star Radio 107.5 after having spewed my opinion into a phone about why the University of Gloucestershire’s decision about the bus service is ludicrous, outrageous, abysmal, disappointing and shameful. The recording, along with other interviews and pieces of information to do with the bus service, will be released...
Costs of the 94U
It has been announced that the previously free University of Gloucestershire bus service will now cost 70p a journey. A group on Facebook has been set up protesting against this move, quite rightly so.
70 pence is hardly an expensive charge compared to the £2 charge on London buses. However, as we all know costs soon build up and this will be yet another outgoing. University fees are rising, the...
