Guardian angels

Congratulations and felicitations to the Impact massive, and especially Sian, Stuart and Amy, for the magazine's Guardian Student Media Awards nominations. Reeeeeespec' due.

Ah, the sights, the sounds, the smells, the many happy hours frittered away in the sweaty, messy and notoriously pungent environs of the Impact office. The happy distraction from anything of a remotely academic nature. The inevitable recourse to life-threatening levels of pintage and low-grade take-away produce most likely containing similarly high levels of pigeon meat. The induction into the journalistic world - the back-stabbing, the bitterness, the freebies, the shameless self-indulgence of which this blog is no doubt the natural consequence. So, if it wasn't for Impact, yadda yadda...

I'd have a tear in my eye right now, if it wasn't for the fact that I'm now a hard-bitten cynic - thanks to Impact.
