God bless the NHS. It is 60 years old. Finally it is at an age where it can appreciate what it is to retire. Oh god please don't retire NHS.


Some News Or Something > 27 hours

So I have been up for over 27 hours straight. I just did a placement all day before then went to the hospital for a night shift, 8pm to 9am...


Some News Or Something > SNOS is out for summer.
Posted by Alex Mee on June 6, 2008 11:45 AM

It’s been a long time since I could dredge something worth writing from the thin soup that is my mind. Something worth putting up on the page, at least. It seems unfair that now I am putting something up it...

Some News Or Something > SNOS 21/05/08
Posted by Alex Mee on May 24, 2008 2:53 PM

Welcome, once again, to the font of wisdom and sagacity that is the Some News or Something Podcast. Listen to the team of May, Joe and Alex as they discuss the news of the week. On top of all of this is a discussion of the Luxembourger, Wigan's fire service and a critique on the reviews found in Local News. This week we are joined by the Sun, the Mirror and the Daily Sport - not forgetting the free newspapers. By Odin's Ravens, it is good!


Some News Or Something > SNOS 15/05/08
Posted by Alex Mee on May 19, 2008 10:33 AM

A new podcast, and an extra long one at that. This we talk about Alex's dubious ancestry, Gladiators and their readiness, the exploitation of Mylie Cyrus and announce the news that the British Xfiles are 'really quite dull'. Don't miss Joe's News from somewhere that matters as he reads from the Lancashire Evening Post, which he assure's us is a real news paper. On top of all of this there is a serious and, some might say, journalistic discussion of the recent Parliamentary debate on the Human Fertility Bill. Cor! This week we are joined by the Sun, the Mirror and the Star - not forgetting the free newspapers. Enjoy or be damned!


Some News Or Something > No, really its fantastic news.
Posted by Alex Mee on May 18, 2008 9:15 PM

It occurs to me that as a political observer, one of limited experience and with only moderate intelligence or savvy that I leave a lot to be desired. I am not trying to whine (though that might be how this...


Some News Or Something > Confession

Posted by Alex Mee on April 21, 2008 5:14 PM

I have noticed that my posts tend to be unremittingly dour. This is most likely because I lost my sense of humour in an ill-advised card game with Vanessa Phelps, but that’s a story for another time. Still attempts must...
