  Pathology and Projects

  Before I even start writing, I’ve had a special request from a friend that I am to pass out to you all. Go and hug your mothers! They are very important people, and you should give them the appreciation they deserve. You never know what will happen in this world, so make the most of […]

  No room at the inn

  I sit here alone, in a spare room in the nurses home in Altnagelvin Area Hospital, contemplating what I did wrong to end up in this situation. As I suspected prior to my arrival, there was no room allocated for me, even though all students placed here are supposed to be given rooms without booking […]

  Anyone need a sofa?

    This has progressed quickly from merely a placeholder for the photos of the sofa we are trying to get rid of to an advertisement. If anyone is looking for a vintage green Bridgecraft sofa and two armchairs, we will happy give them away to a good home. They are in pretty decent condition considering […]
