The tourist argument is always being quoted but with very little serious evidence. If you were trying to assess the impact of the royalty on tourism you would have to compare the current situation against numbers which would be generated by opening up Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle etc. They...

A team of students from the USA have been working on IT systems in a charity in Camden with which I volunteer as part of an international outreach programme. One of them is an Albion fan. She has no ties with the area just liked what she heard and saw about the club and knew all about our...

No.

Empty. Much worse than I would have expected.

Having been a manager for over 30 years I just don’t get the idea that there is a thin line between strong and effective management and bullying. The behaviours are completely different. The former is about setting challenging objectives but with clarity, support and the allocation of the...

Around 70 minutes in the 5-0 horror show at Selhurst but walked straight into a police line and went nowhere.

Think it will take more than me to overhaul 100s of years of the British class system. My point here is that it is something which is unique to England and can lead to potentially dangerous levels of deference in which people are listened to for who they are and not what they say. Johnson's PG...

We have always had politicians on the right that encouraged indifference towards poverty but over the last 7 years we have seen people rise to high office who don't think twice about encouraging sadism and cruelty against specified and always vulnerable scapegoats. Also social media has enabled...

I'm thinking Donatello from the 1990s for me.

Thanks. I'm really looking forward to it as I have never seen them live. Amon Duul II are at the Jazz Cafe next month which will also be interesting.

I travel via Seven Sisters regularly and the queuing system for match days is a pain. I got caught up in the Saracens/Harlequins crowds a few weeks back and the trains coming in to SS were already 80% full. To be honest I would probably pick up the train at Liverpool St as you get trains that...

I go to quite a few gigs by myself for the same reason. I am going to see Faust at the Jazz Cafe next week by myself.

None of my friends in Hertfordshire are Albion fans and I lost touch with people in Sussex many years ago so I always go alone. The only exception was when we played at Brisbane Rd regularly a few years back when I always went with an Orient fan from work and sat with the home fans. It’s never...

Wonderful news. It's great to hear that immunotherapy is working so well for you. It is working well for me as well and my Myeloma as I have been in remission for 15 months.

I thought the little walking man had sat down for a fag at one point as nothing seemed to be happening but my ticket is secured and it was pretty painless.

I saw the Spanish film 'The Beasts' yesterday in Bloomsbury yesterday. 'Jean de Florette' meets 'Deliverance'. Very good but disturbing.

No self-confidence and a very pessimistic outlook on life for which I compensated by drinking too much. I made some lifelong friends at the time but I don’t know what they saw in me. Saved by ‘punk rock and Peter Ward’ to quote Attila.

My wife's family are Greek Cypriot and I thought this was a thread about some of her male relatives.

I am proudly one of the wokerati but I don’t see much problem with this film. It was of its time in its depiction but certainly isn’t over the top. If a film of the events were made now I would expect it to be better on context and characterisation but this wasn’t. I don’t think we take anything...

Fair enough, I think there is more than one credible position. Hopefully we will reach a point where the electorate put faith in Labour to put in place a proper system for processing claims and working with the international community to clamp down on criminal gangs and maybe even have a...
