But, seriously...

Ok, so the real reason for this blog is that is is a part of my MA in International Journalism course.

The theory is that this will help me with my dissertation- not due until next September, so I'd better get a move on.

I already have a working title which is:

"British Eurosceptism, or what has Europe done for us anyway?"

but the problem is that even though I find it a fascinating aspect of the national psyche, I need to find an angle. I'm sure that'll come and, hopefully, this website will help a bit.

My other idea was:

"Chateauvieux?: Why French wine is not as good as New World plonk."

I thought I might be able to get a few good tasting sessions at some vineyard in the South of France.. But, I hadn't reckoned with having to fork out for the research trip, and think that ultimately am better off (at least financially) playing a bit closer to home.

This is the plan at the moment, but it may change, and I may use the site for my own personal gospels as well. You'll just have to wait and find out, you lucky people...
