Eddie Watson profile »
I’m an 18-year-old sixth form student with an appetite for critiquing the happenings of every day life. My main interests include; music (listening and writing), football and video games (so basically everything you’d expect from a young male my age.) Academically I’m a student of History, Media Studies and English Language wishing to go on to study History at university. Writing is something I’ve recently sought enjoyment out of and has been integrated more naturally into academic writing as well as writing for entertainment. Somehow through all of this I manage to maintain some form of a social life and I enjoy going out or staying in with friends on a fairly regular basis. As for the future, my attitude is to keep my options open and “take life as it comes.”

"A trail of broken promises"
The Lib-Dem election campaign video is laughable now. Also the nature of student protest means two opposites are being awkwardly juxtaposed together, like Shaun Ryder and Gillian McKeith.

It's the simple things in life...
Love it or hate it, the Jeremy Kyle show has come up trumps this week for one particular guest and one particular envelope...

BT's Vision
Advertisements have come under strain in recent years. BT have attempted to cope through appealing to audience's emotions and asking them even to vote what happens next...

It's the Sun what done it
Which is a parody of one of their headlines from the 1992 election...in case you didn't know.
