		<title>UCC&#8217;s Students&#8217; Union</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maybe it&#8217;s unfair to lay all the blame on the SU for these issues, but:
UCC students pay for the use of the Mardyke Arena in our capitation fee; it&#8217;s been closed for weeks and we&#8217;re not getting any compensation for it.
Secondly, all the roads in Cork are covered in snow, the buses are all cancelled, [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Sory Wrong Number&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why would someone go to the trouble of writing down a made-up number for you and pretend it&#8217;s theirs? Why not just use some stock excuse, or say you&#8217;re not interested or whatever? I was having such a good day too&#8230;

		<title>Back From The Dead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Essay deadlines are looming large on the horizon, so I&#8217;ll be posting nonsense here again for the next two weeks as I desperately try to avoid doing work. Here&#8217;s some stuff I encountered and liked while I was off-lining:
The Idiots (the Lars Von Trier film)
Wild Strawberries (the Ingmar Bergman film)
Biffy Clyro
The Big Dirty and New [...]]]></description>

		<title>Signing Off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I would very much like to put something up here, but I&#8217;m afraid that it could fuck everything up, so I won&#8217;t.
&#8230;

		<title>Berlusconi Fail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the Beeb:
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has described himself as the most persecuted person &#8220;in the entire history of the world&#8221;.
Mr Berlusconi also said he was &#8220;the best prime minister we can find today&#8221;.
In an impassioned statement, he then mistakenly told reporters he had spent millions of euros on &#8220;judges&#8221;, before correcting himself to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Last Ever NIN Show</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I joked about this in the pub earlier, but it&#8217;s not so funny now. NIN shall never perform live again after tonight, and I find that quite upsetting. Like, almost crying onto my keyboard upsetting. I wish I was there, in The Wiltern in LA, but more than that I wish that this wasn&#8217;t the [...]]]></description>
