Had an interesting email from a mate who's a geography teacher up in Cheshire.

He came to Fans Utd many years ago (supports Sunderland) and because down the years I've bored him to tears about the saga that became the Albion's quest for a new stadium he's chosen our plight and is making his 6th formers study Falmer as a case example of the farce that is England's Planning Process!!

Think they may struggle to answer any questions in "less than 400 words" though

Nice!!!! Wish I could do something that interesting for mine!!

Just as a side note, I did a sociology essay comparing football to religion, one that was rather easy to write, but has been lost due to the death of my old laptop!

Cue loads of spotty 6th formers posting on here asking "Can anyone sum up the planning process for Falmer in less than 400 words please"

How times change; when I studied Geography half the map of the world was coloured red!

I did my final A level sociology essay on gender inequality in football supporting. Was quite interesting, but also quite easy since all I had to do was prove that there's still a lot more men than women! (it was a little bit more complicated than that!)

My 20,000 word law dissertation was on the hostile relationship between the US banks and Credit Unions.

A thriller.

Eeek, almost as exciting as: "Is there evidence to suggest that there are gender differences in presenting symptoms in patients who are admitted to emergency departments with acute coronary syndrome?"

Could be interesting, but having to describe why I chose certain databases to search for articles is a complete snoozefest.

I did a talk at school 4/5 years ago for my English GCSE about how Falmer was the best site to build the stadium.

I once taught a University course called "Incest and Exogamy". The essays produced by students were FASCINATING - but mostly about Australians.

Blimey. Exogamy? Never heard of it, I've had to look it up:-

Exogamy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amazing what you learn on NSC.

I did "Our fight for Falmer" on a presentation skills training course. Learned quite a bit doing my research and educated a few glory hunters about what supporting a local football club is all about.
