Cool Keeping your hand on the pulse of the nation . .

Hi every one . . .

. .I was just wondering....I have moved to the United States from London and was wondering what the best ways of keeping your hand on the pulse of the nation is......I , needless to say, quite enjoy watching the doom and gloom back home from a safe distance . . .

My three so far are

1) regularly visiting this forum . . .
2) reading the online Sun
3) A bit of BBC London . . .

Do you think these are enough, or are you of the persuasion that "No news , good news"

Cheers

Ivan

I hope you keep your job with the UE rate just pushing over 10% over there!

UB40's one in ten would keep it real for you lol.

!. This forum is dead, so no real use.
2. Online Sun will only give you a white van man view of the UK.
3. BBC London - stabbing, murder, recession.

I am afraid that due to the betrayal by our leaders, the UK is rapidly moving towards being a state of the Eu!

I prefer Sean Keaveny and George Lamb on 6Music and a bit of 5Live.

Keaveny is the best DJ out there imo.

I guess I never thought of this , but how do you define "pulse of the nation"...Is it really just event news and sport , or more Page 3?
