Chunnel Vision: November 2005
http://chunnelvision.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
A blog created when I was a journalism student between 2005 and 2006. Monday, November 28, 2005. To CAP it all off. Last night on the BBC , there was an interesting programme. About the EU budget; what the problems are, where it's going, how we're going to get there. You know the drill. British politician attacks French for not wanting to budge on the CAP, because they see huge agricultural subsidies as a bad way to ensure economic growth. A lot of Britain's hopes for a budget agreement appear to rest on...

Chunnel Vision: April 2006
http://chunnelvision.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
A blog created when I was a journalism student between 2005 and 2006. Thursday, April 06, 2006. Interesting commentary on Sky Sports last night. The Juventus fans set fire to something inside the stadium in disgust at their poor performance against Arsenal. The anchorman said that "it was perfectly acceptable in Italy, and Spain for that matter." The tone of voice was very much, well we wouldn't do that in England would we. Because of course, British footbal fans have such a spotless record!

Chunnel Vision: March 2006
http://chunnelvision.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
A blog created when I was a journalism student between 2005 and 2006. Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Yesterday, was an interesting article in The Times telling us what we have all feared for years. Yes, that's right, the Germans are more intelligent than us. But, at least we're smarter than the French. What struck me is that the paper in question felt the need to point out this fact. To come eight in a list of 23, doesn't seem that bad to me. But then who cares about them. Posted by SG @ 3/28/2006 06:43:00 pm.

This is the winning design in a competition for a logo to celebrate the half centeniary of the signing of the treat of Rome. It was designed by a Polish art student, who won 4,000 for his efforts. This logo gives a graphic interpretation to the voice of all Europeans, especially the new generations," says the competition website. It also praises the irony "inspired by fashion labels".

Chunnel Vision: January 2006

A blog created when I was a journalism student between 2005 and 2006. Sunday, January 29, 2006. Crying over spilt milk. The end of British civilisation as we know it. Yes friends, we are about to mark the passing of that great British institution, the pint of milk. According to today's Sunday Times, this coming week the European Parliament will pass laws which threaten the British "pinta". (Good to see the MEPs doing something useful to earn their keep. See. But it doesn't stop there. The more significan...

Chunnel Vision: August 2006
http://chunnelvision.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
A blog created when I was a journalism student between 2005 and 2006. Friday, August 18, 2006. A super dooper triple latte with extra cream. I am finally in the later stages of writing my dissertation, and came accross this which I thought I'd share with you. It's actually my translation into English of a Spanish version of a Frenchman's text in English- very European if you ask me! Anyway, it's a quote from George Steiner's "An idea of Europe", in which the learned writer explains the essence of Europe.

Chunnel Vision: December 2006
http://chunnelvision.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
A blog created when I was a journalism student between 2005 and 2006. Friday, December 01, 2006. Shaken, stirred, or just plain drunk? It seems the latest product to enter the food classification row is vodka. Different countries make it in different ways, and seeing as though the word comes from the Russian (and Polish) word for water there are those that feel that only certain methods of distillery should be allowed to call the final product vodka. Do we really care? My article from last March.

Chunnel Vision: February 2006
http://chunnelvision.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
A blog created when I was a journalism student between 2005 and 2006. Wednesday, February 22, 2006. At the moment I am reading a book called "Watching the English: The hidden rules if English behaviour" by Kate Fox. It's a great book. And I'd recommend it to anybody. It's well written, amusing, and, for the English out there, cringeworthingly accurate. I'd like to share a little excerpt with you that I found particularly insightful. When do we want it? Posted by SG @ 2/22/2006 11:46:00 pm. As part of the...

Oktoberfest in Montreal | NOT A LUMBERJACK
https://notalumberjack.wordpress.com/2014/02/18/oktoberfest-in-montreal
Life in Montréal, Québec, Canada. Laquo; Niagara Falls. February 18, 2014. Back in the summer, we moved house to live in the borough of Verdun which is just to the south of downtown Montreal. I am now much closer to work and, when the weather’s good, have a very enjoyable bike ride commute along the Lachine Canal. On the banks of the canal, and a 30 minute walk from our apartment is the McAuslan Brewery. Posted in Food and drink. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Our Man in Madrid.

Niagara Falls | NOT A LUMBERJACK
https://notalumberjack.wordpress.com/2014/02/17/niagara-falls
Life in Montréal, Québec, Canada. Laquo; Thanksgiving in Toronto. February 17, 2014. My girlfriend and many other Canadians I’ve met can’t quite understand what the fuss is about Niagara Falls. Or, at least, why it’s number one on most people’s list of ‘things to do while you’re in Eastern Canada’. I insisted we drove the short distance round the end of Lake Ontario to Niagara. Was it worth it? Well, for the sole reason of saying that I’ve been, yes. Would I go back? Tagged Maid of the Mist. Leave a Repl...
