As published on youthone.com, 2002:
1. Travelling is TOO expensive.
Yes. That can often be the case. If you want to purely travel, you need the cash and travelling with Canadian dollars in Europe, for instance, can be really expensive. The good news is, is that there are opportunities for working holiday visas across the globe. You can check with Travel Cuts (their SWAP program is good for the beginner traveller) or with the embassy of your choice. That way you can work and travel at the same time.

It was an intricate dance tapped out on webs of crystal sugared lines. I watched as each man threw himself at his intended who was too busy to notice – he was looking the other way and throwing himself at another man who was too busy to notice – he was looking the other way and throwing himself at…you get what I mean.

“Has this country gone completely F**king mad. Everywhere I look there are little St George crosses on cars and vans. We have Red, White & Blue day today at work and there are geeza's with full face paint and coloured hair!â€

It makes pubs that don’t allow football colours to be worn by patrons, turn their establishments into one big English flag. It makes young boys want to be England’s Captain, David Beckhem and little girls to be his wife Victoria aka Posh Spice—legendary amongst footballers wives. Today the madness starts.
