British National Pratts

The final dissertation lecture took place which was basically an overview on the questions that students have asked about issues such as what happens after the proposal is submitted, how is a lit review structured, and what a methodology chapter involves.

Before the lecture had started, Steven had brought this morning's Sun newspaper that had an article about the leaked BNP list and I was rather shocked to find out that one of the members was former Radio Kent, Invicta Radio and Solar Radio presenter Rod Lucas.
This has lead to him being sacked from his job on Talksport although according to Digital Spy he claims he only joined the party for research purposes.

With everything out of the way and my final ever Uni lecture done with, a few of us decided to head over to Spoons in Kenton where some of us had a full English although I only had a glass of lemonade.
We spoke about possible plans for outings later on in year with the possibility of
paintballing when our dissertations are handed in.
I would be pretty apprehensive about that due to possible injuries although it the others suggested that Stewart would be main target although he wasn't with us to defend himself.

As we were heading back over to Uni, Steven started moaning about Leona again who he dislikes with a passion. I wouldn't say she's the worst female artist but as far as personality goes she is dreadfully wooden, especially when you compare her to someone like Alesha Dixon who is the ideal role model and doesn't need to get in the papers to make a name for herself.
I'm hoping she'll be superb as a guest on Buzzcocks later tonight as proved before.

On the positive side of things it turns out that Top Of The Pops will be making a return at Christmas for not one but two specials on what many are speculating will lead to a revival of the series. One of the things we chatted about on the way to Spoons was that currently the X Factor is the only shop window in the UK for top bands and performers to perform their new singles on television. And possibly Strictly Come Dancing as well as a few weeks ago both shows were fighting over who would get Beyonce on.

I've also found out the two new contestants who will arriving in the jungle later tonight and it will definitely be worth the watch. I don't like to give away spoilers on my blog although one of them was part of an 80s pop duo who ended up running a burger van in Brighton.
This resulted in yet another amusing episode of Buzzcocks where Mark Lamarr and the team gave him a right ribbing and even fellow guest Ricky Tomlinson got in on the act.
I hope I've still got that edition on VHS back in Canterbury.

The other arrival is what can only be described as a cult hero for those of a certain generation.

It will definitely be two hours well spent tonight.
