One question is whether you read tabloid newspapers. Are there any broadsheets left?

I don't even know what these terms mean ..... but I knew the answer as I don't read any newspapers

They cost money ..... so no newspapers, no magazines, no books.

I enjoyed it. I think Lorde's got a great future. And Rudimental and Daft Punk are brill.

When I first arrived in London TimeOut did a Student guide that gave the main music venues and they were legion. Seen Moby and the B-52s at Wembley before the kids came and since then had to mainly enjoy non-live music.

Masomnia, don't forget to attend some concerts while you're back studying, in that place where you are.

One thing I enjoy about living in big cities is the potential choice of music. The biggest bands will do London, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow. When I lived in a place Nikkster knows I had to travel to places like Oxford and Aylesbury to see concerts (London was just too far).

I think London would be fine now, the trains are pretty good. . I would do it, but not sure about doing it all solo. Prob better to stay in! I saw Miles Kane here last year, and have tickets to see a few well known comedians too (would love it if more bands came here ).

One of the good things about the Internet is free books. Free classics and free modern literature and a never ending supply of free crud.

DH gets some really nice corporate stuff. My favourite are little paperclips in the shape of aeroplanes from Boeing. Most corporate gifts are naff mind. I do like the pens though. Means never having to buy my own. I'd like to get olive oil like silver. That would be very practical.

One of the few corporate toys that has fallen into my hands was a keyring timer made by a Swiss company. Can't get them any more as they were used in Britain's biggest terrorist disaster.

My dad got five copies of the same (naff ) book five years in a row. He did get a hamper from a food hall every year for a while. Um, Trip of prints which are quite nice. That's all I remember.

And free newspapers/magazines..... everything's free online, which is good.
