Dissertation Tribulations: January 2004 - June 2004

Writing a dissertation about tenpin bowling is bad enough, but to write a story about writing a dissertation about tenpin bowling is, well, beyond redemption.

What started out as a quirky idea to fill a small space in the university student newspaper soon turned into an integral part of the dissertation and my ticket to published work on the BBC - and my parents always told me I'd get nothing out of tenpin bowling.

The following is the adapted and extended BBC version of the original Huddersfield Student newspaper feature.
