		<title>Nigel Farage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I quite like Nigel Farage, I may not always agree wit his views but he is always eloquent and entertaining and has a brilliant way of always getting his point across.  Without him UKIP would be a much smaller, much worse off party.
I am watching an episode of Question Time with him in at the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Times Paywall</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have just read a half decent look at how the times might be faring behind their new paywall, no idea if it is accurate or not, but I suspect it is close:

I have always thought that it would fail, but if it could succeed for anyone it would be The Times.  They are a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Graduation and Tax</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have finally got my results.  I got a 2:1 for all those that did not know already.  Mid-range, and I am reasonably happy with it.
I also wanted to add my two cents on the new proposed Graduate Tax.  I am not a fan of the idea to begin with.  I think that university should [...]]]></description>

		<title>MSci Report Marks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am taking exams at the moment, but more depends upon the mark for my project report than for the exams.
If I get 80% in the report I am sorted. I can average 40% in my exams and I get my degree.
However if I get 60% in the report I need to average 50% in [...]]]></description>

		<title>HDD Prices + Laptop Decisions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just something to reflect upon.
In September 2006 I paid £190 for a 500GB external drive.  So 38p per GB
Then in November 2007 I paid £75 for another 500GB external.  So 15p per GB
Last week I ordered a 1.5TB external drive for £88.
That's only 6p per GB.  That's insane.
But then so is being able to fit [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Laptop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a job starting in September, for which I will be moving about quite a bit.  I will probably not be in one place for more than 3 months, and I have no idea where I will be for that time.  So the chances are I will be in spare rooms and random places off [...]]]></description>

		<title>HTC sues Apple</title>
		<description><![CDATA[http://gizmodo.com/5537316/htc-countersues-apple-to-stop-all-iphone-ipod-ipad-sales
Fair play for HTC hitting back at apple over their ridiculous lawsuit a while back trying to get the import of all HTC phones banned in the US due to patent infringement.
But this just goes even further to show how ridiculous patents have become, at least in the US.
You can't blame HTC, they didn't start this whole thing.  Apple [...]]]></description>

		<title>Something sensible from a Labour MP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tom Harris is one of the few MPs with a decent blog, and while I do not agree with many of his views and do not particularly like his sense of humour all the time he seems like a pretty decent chap for the most part and is certainly interesting and usually very upfront about his views, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Electoral Reform</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This will be the thing that is discussed most in the next few days, so here are my views so that I do not have to keep repeating them.
Is some sort of reform needed, yes, probably.  A system where a party could come third in the popular vote and yet still have the most seats [...]]]></description>
