Firenze!
Published 10/11/16
The town of the infamous Medici family, world renowned Uffizi Art Gallery and Nazi-defying Ponte Vecchio. Although the beginning of our trip was not perfect, thanks to the well-timed Italian air-strike - our baggage was hostage in Pisa for about 7 hours. Our first day ended with the ultimate reunion of our bags along with the sainthood of Miss Cresswell; who had fought long and hard for our precious belongings! Our next three days was packed full with excursions including church crawls, intense Italian lessons, museum visits and many, many gelato breaks. An all-round favourite was the Gucci Museum which contained fabulous shoes, dresses and of course, refreshments in our main rendez-vous on the Piazza della Signoria. The Basilica di Santa-Croce amazed each and every one of us as we went from tomb to tomb gazing upon the final resting places of Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli, Rossini and many more impressive names. - Read More

Published 08/11/16J
ohn Oliver is a British comedian who is receiving a huge amount of recognition for his impact on the news, politics and current affairs through his show, 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver'. He doesn't identify as a journalist, but is arguably more thorough and informative than several of today's mainstream journalists. He has covered things such as issues concerning net neutrality, the Miss America Organisation not spending as much on scholarships as it claims, or even Argentina's debt crisis. His effect on news has been dubbed "The John Oliver Effect", because of his ability to turn relatively boring topics, that people wouldn't normally want to read about or watch, into hilariously viral phenomena. "The John Oliver Effect" has worked in several instances.Read MoreLolita - 'Dolores Haze - Seductress or Victim?'
Published 14/10/16Vladimir Nabokov's revolutionary novel, Lolita, follows the abduction and sexual abuse of 12 year old Dolores Haze, better known as Lolita, by her pedophilic stepfather - and crucially, narrator - Humbert Humbert. Yet, Dolores Haze has been filtered and reduced down to the derogatory and misleading definition of "Lolita" in the English dictionary as a "a precociously, seductive girl". This widely accepted unsympathetic reading of one of the most controversial protagonists in existence, dictated by the manipulative verbal tricks of Humbert's narration, has eclipsed what is for me, the essence of Dolores Haze; a tragic and exploited child, a captive, a rape victim.Read MoreThe Week of Living Vogue-ically
Published 14/10/16As part of my theological study, I read A. J. Jacobs’ magisterial work ‘The Year of Living Biblically’, in which he takes every biblical commandment literally and abides by them. For one whole year. Inspirational stuff, we can all agree, notably his righteous stoning of an adulterer, and ability to find a seat in New York City that had not been patronised by a menstruating woman.Read MoreHockey Team News
