January 28, 2008

The fifth round drawn & again Liverpool get to play at home this time against Barnsley.

I am underway with my course & part of the 1st assignment is asking me to give details of my journalistic ‘equipment’.
Taking the lead from the assignment, I thought this would be an ideal place for me to list what I have, don’t have & what I intend to get with regards to equipment.
