"The full findings of the research discussed in this article will be published later this year, following peer review."
That means it'll all be shit because peer review is a pointless process.

it depends on the subject dunnit?
wanky social science can be as peer reviewed as much as you like and all it'll prove that is they don't have any clearly insane assumptions.
A chemist, a physicist and an economist are on a desert island with cans of food and no opener.
'we'll use the corrosoive action of sea water!' says the chemist
'that'll ruin the food!'
The physicist suggests putting them on a fire
'Shrapnel and baked bean burns!'
Then the economist chips in:
'let's hypothesise a tin opener.'

Dunno.
Buzzfeed isn't the joke it once was but I'm dubious as to whether they'll ever really be able to shake off their silly listicle reputation. They've certainly hired a lot of serious journalists and are paying them well, but I don't see their serious side lasting.

think you're right on the last point
serious journalism is expensive. and largely boring to the half educated of Blair's Britain - they think they know everything already and are happy to explain it to you in a powerpoint.
More lisiticles please! also kitten videos.

There's not a lot of money in it anymore.
The Internet is a wonderful thing but it has fucked up a lot of other good things. Journalism and retail to name but two.

I miss decent book shops and record shops.
Where I live it has also become increasingly hard to buy trainers.

Hatchards (where ahem I met Patrick Leigh-Fermor ;-)) Daunt are very nice. Stanfords for your exploring needs...
edit: you're too old for sneaker pimping. M&S will supply you with some weekend boat shoes and Churches can cater everything else.

I was in Stanfords a couple of weeks ago.
We'd walked out of the Donmar half way through matinee of the play about the collapse of Kids' Company. Atrocious.

Nah.
The script was taken verbatim from the transcripts of the Select Committee hearing. Verbatim. And was sung. Sung. A libretto that didn't scan. Complete dud. Seventy quid down the pisser.

and a Fred Perry?
do you carry a chib and hide it in a hedge when you to Stamford Bridge?
edit: you're more likely a Fulham fan. Pfft.
Although you'd probably fit in better with those Dulwich art-school pretentious numpties

Lol lol lol.
I recently bought a Fred Perry zip up hoodie from John Lewis. I thought to myself before buying it that it was a bit of chavvy brand, but fuck it, I like it.
