I have no good reason except I didn't feel like it so read on!So today I will discuss the topic that has dominated my thoughts over the last month and that is Higher Education (University). I am leaving for Brighton in September as are thousands of others to embark on there courses.

My first interests were sparked by video games, especially GTA vice city which I have always had a soft spot for 80's music as it generally the music http://allsubjectscovered.blogspot.com/2008_07_05_archive.html#5618859245153694718noreply@blogger.com (Ricky B)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071695256134575125.post-835352901289448402Fri, 04 Jul 2008 17:06:00 +00002008-07-04T20:33:14.531+01:00Today you get lots and lots of free editing software through with your digital camera or online which I don't know about the more expensive models but the cheaper ones the software is rubbish.

This will always vary from one person to another. One thing is age, yes some 10 year old's will be able to handle playing a 18 game.

I must say the coolest thing apart from the extra rock channels is the little display showing all sorts of details about the show and station.
