It's easy and fashionable to knock TV programmes like X-Factor, Big Brother, Hole In The Wall, I'm a Celebrity etc. etc. 'Serious' people call such programmes 'Lowest Common Denominator' television. I say compare the viewing figures for these shows compared to Horizon or Panorama and for these channels compared to BBC4 or Discovery.
Like so much in life, don't criticise people for liking something just because you don't!

November Quickie
I've been busy with university... finally today I got some marked work back from a lecturer and it was good news, a really high score on my assignment in Object Oriented Programming. It is by far my favourite unit though, very practical, so I'm not celebrating too much.
Unfortunately the poor teaching continues on 2 units... I complained about it and was basically told that since the pass rates for those units are fine, I should shut up. And so I will - I can see when the university are about to close ranks - but I certainly won't be recommending MMU to anyone!
Anyway with five assignments on the go at once right now, I don't have time to complain any longer, too much to do!
