if you want to live, don't buy a lottery ticket

Current statistics say you are 176 times more likely to be murdered than win the national lottery. Easy… keeping this ratio, if less people bought a lottery ticket, it would decrease your odds of being murdered!

Simple.

best way to make money

I don't normally make posts like this, normally leave things like this to Kester, but its funny. For Prince Harry's 21st birthday the Royal Mint are producing a limited number of commemorative £5 coins. But i quote from BBC:

''£5 brilliant uncirculated coin, priced at £9.95, comes in an edition of 10,000.''

I study Economics so realise about supply and demand... yet a coin with a face value of £5 is being sold at a 199% mark-up!
O hello there nice Mr Shopkeeper, don't worry about giving me £10 change, i'll just take a £5. Rubbish.

If you're bright enough you'll know what not to buy! - And btw, don't get me started about coin collectors!

final year

So back at Uni, final year. Old housemates are swaning around in Europe.

Started lectures on Monday, excellent fun, yet in a lecture yesterday with the course code RALE, which could stand for a number of interesting things, turned out to be an acronym for Regional and Local Economics, not the most exciting of topics. It got worse. The lecturer seemed to be very enthusiastic, always a plus, but he mentioned that the course was very similar to a human geography module that is taught at the University. Pathetic. I’m doing a mathematical based Economic degree; give me some maths, you can keep your human geography to yourself thank you very much.

Be back tomorrow...
