…and welcome to my new blog.
I guess first off I should apologise to any of you who come here expecting a high standard of English…if so you’ve clearly been mis-led by the title of this blog. Yes I am an academic…but really that is just a glorified term for my current status as a student. But I’m a mature student…oh yes…but even that is quite mis-leading. Really the state of affairs is thus: Yes, I’m an academic, yes I’m fairly egomaniacal but in that sweet “love me, LOVE ME!!!” kind of way. Think Michael Scott more than David Brent. And…oh yes, in case there is any further doubt about my place as an academic, please see my bastardisation of the English language and general abuse of of parentheses and ellipses as proof.
I’ve been forced into developing this blog by the taunts of Mr Scott Morrison who provided me with the label and fine moniker under which this diatribe is produced. When I read his post suggesting I was perhaps in some way egomaniacal I was insensed. I thought to myself “I am NOT egomaniacal, I’ll show him…by producing a blog that revolves solely around my thoughts and opinions!!! That’ll learn him!!!!!” Anyway I hope to use this spot as a soapbox from which I cast my views and the occasional rant, should the subject matter provoke me…
Anyway, I don’t really know why I’m explaining myself or the origins of this blog since there is a strong likelihood that the only people reading this are my mum and my “friends”. Anyway, please feel free to comment and let me know what you think.
Cheers
I don’t know what’s sadder, you writing this and posting at 11pm on a Sunday or me reading and writing a repy at the same time
Much Love

Oh come now Morgs…I think we do.
Did you ever get your rugby ball back? Yeah sorry about that…who knew sports would be my downfall. I was sure Tone would be the first to spoon it into a garden.
Welcome to the blogosphere! I look forward to reading all about your strange little life.
That makes one of us. But then, I already know everything that goes on in George Cor-stanza’s life since it’s actually me who’s imagining it all.
Egomaniacs are hot. I’m just saying.
Cormac, if your mum really is reading this, then she should know that a) you were arrested in university for stalking an undergraduate who b) now has a restraining order against you and c) you aren’t really doing a post grad, but instead this is part of the rehab programme that Barlinnie has you on….. you were NEVER on a boat. and don’t worry, in five years, with no further offending, your name is removed from that register.
