How it breaks is part of how it works. I was a historian of global health and now I'm an artist (of global health and digital ethics).

We (Scottish uni) had a mix of module fairs and numbered sign-up sheets. I made a big mistake in each of my first two years and the philosophy department allowed me to switch into their modules halfway through term one.

Loads of interesting villages and towns inland too. The border between Cos. Waterford and Tipperary has great walking (Comeragh Mountains especially), and there is also a cycleway across Waterford.

With Dungarvan, west Co. Waterford as a (foodie) base, the coast either side - towards Waterford or Youghal - is full of hidden coves, evidence of trading and mining, a small Gaeltacht with lots of great beaches on the Ring (An Rinn) peninsula.

Final e-series start cheap (c. £20 for the E500) - they're tiny, have plenty of different size tips, and decent cables. They also sound good, at least to me.

I remember it being a big deal when it came out. iPlayer has a massive 'Scotland' badge in the corner, so maybe they taped it off a Scottish telly?
