In fact over the past few weeks some councils have stopped advertising jobs in the regional paper. I’ve been checking a few local councils - they aren’t really recruiting.

Councils seem to offer high salary... Or did you try www.reed.co.uk? You don't want to start with something that has nothing to do with your degree?

Piracy is like stealing with a different guise. The only difference is whether the Police do get involved: a record store can as easily pursue civil action for CD theft as a record company can for copying their product.

It is <em>not</em> a criminal matter, it is a civil offense and should really not involve the police. the BPS makes it look like a crime by comparing it to pretty street crime, but in the eyes of the law it really isn't. What the record companies need to realise is that when they offer DRM free tracks that people can download quicker and easier than pirating, most will start paying for their music. At the moment it costs too much -- it's almost the same cost as a CD, it should be much less considering the much smaller logistics involved, I think 50p a track and £5 an album is fair. We should also be offered it in a varaiety of formats without DRM. I refuse to buy any DRM music and so should anyone else, what happens when iTunes doesn't exist in 20 years and I want to play my music then? Piracy is a problem that the music industry has only compounded itself, and to be honest its getting what it deserves. You’ve succomed to the record industries propoganda on piracy.

Hey you've got to liberate yourself from the 'expensive, terrible public transport' theory. There are more opportunities in London. You should give it a go.
