I have Tonsillitis. Again. But this has given me the option to go and have these disfunctional and 
cratered little puss bags (my tonsils really do have craters in them, thats how many times i've had this particular hum dinger of an illness), removed. Thus to hospital i will eventually go to catch MRSA or die of "complications" during a routine operation. What it also means is that i'm in no fit state to put up a decent post or make the accociated pictures so your just going to have to put up with this snipet from Milkround.com

by Mike Barnard on 7th March 2008
Firsts and 2:1s are unfairly used to benchmark graduates when they apply for jobs.
It is claimed those with anything less than a 2:1 face an uphill struggle to be called for interview as employers look at grades first when choosing potential candidates.
The Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services (AGCAS) reveals the findings in its Winter Review 2008, claiming employers will discard graduates with lesser qualifications.
It adds this is causing a recruitment shortfall as graduates without a first or 2:1 are ideal candidates for the jobs available, but they are being automatically discarded.
Elspeth Farrar, of the AGCAS, claims companies are placing unrealistic demands on graduates. She said: “There has been a major shift in what companies expect graduates to come out of university with and how prepared [for work] they expect them to be. In the past, employers were more prepared to take the time to train new workers themselves, but the assumption increasingly seems to be that this is the responsibility of universities.

"It seems now that companies are expecting students to come out of university work ready.”
........At least someone else has noticed this then eh? Let this be a warning to all you lot still studying...your doomed! (Unless your a medic, engineer, accountant, maths person or one of those other lucky bastards who does a degree that really does put you straight into a job.)
On the plus side my parents brought me a Solero back from their trip to the village shop.
They also bought me some Tea Cakes!
