What did I discover in 2010?

As the chapters of life are flicked through and consigned to the ever increasing pile of crap that has happened but isn't worth remembering, I sometimes like to take stock and find a couple of truths to sustain me through the tough times. As a result, here are a few things I have discovered in the past year.

• A University degree is not a measure of intelligence.

Having graduated from University myself this year it is quite clear that when someone tells you they have a degree it means they couldn't think of anything better to do - not that they are destined to advance the quality of life for the human race.

• Politicians can't always stick to their promises.

Just a minor thing really, but in 2010 my confidence of our politicians took a small hit. I mean, it's not like the decisions they make affect every area of our lives or anything. Just imagine, we could be living in times where politicians are elected based on the popularity of their television appearances.
