Why Cricketers?
Scott Stockdale
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP. Wake up at 06:05. (It’s actually 05:57. In your face Alarm Cock.) Down a bottle of water. Take a cold shower. (And then a normal one.) Get dressed. Read “Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal” for 20 mins. (Or go through some Spanish notes). Meditate for a […]
There’s a lot of hype around crickets. That’s right; those wonderful little critters with their magnificent chirping. You may have seen them on the news. An emerging revolution. The answer to all our problems. So here’s the question: Can they REALLY solve food sustainability?? Okay, before I begin, here’s a […]
Statistically speaking, being ‘human’ is close to impossible. Some scientists believe the chances of it happening are around 400 TRILLION to one. To put that into context: 1 Million Seconds = 11 Days 1 Billion Seconds = 32 Years 1 Trillion Seconds = 31, 710 Years Let’s take this a […]

When we think about the financial markets in 2017, things are pretty strange. They’re certainly not like they used to be a decade ago. For example, many countries around the world have negative interest rates (or close to it). Sweden, Cyprus, Denmark – even Germany – have yields of less […]
Sure, people talked about how many ships came in on any given day. They also talked about wheat harvests and the like. However, this idea that we take for granted today – the idea of there being this thing called ‘The Economy’ – simply didn’t exist 100 years ago. Today, […]
The worst double-act since Dick and Dom. Ugh. You know who I mean. I don’t want to think about them and I’m sure you don’t either. Unfortunately, I have to. I’m an economics student. Sorry folks but this ain’t gonna be pretty. That’s the truth. Sure, Brexit might not be such a […]
