The playlist is a great idea. I like the idea of 'It's Gonna Take a Miracle' by the Royalettes for my funeral.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

Billy Liar. FFS get on that train, Julie Christie is waiting for you! Another vote for Cinema Paradiso. Just hearing the music sets me off, but it is the best ending of any film I have ever seen. The way that Spielberg presented 'Somewhere' in his West Side Story was pretty devastating.

The newspapers in the collection were always available to be consulted at the British Library in print or microfilm form. The BL's government funding does not provide any money for large scale digitisation. This project would have meant that a private company picked up all the digitisation...

I saw her at Koko in Camden in June and she was amazing as is her latest album.

I think he is right to take a stand. The idea that software companies with business models that generate millions should content providers a pittance on the basis that they will get wide visibility is pure arrogance. I recommend his podcast 'Electronically Yours' particularly the recent...

The one about the inbred family was really disturbing.

You could envisage a scenario in which NATO would use force to keep Russia within it's borders. However I can't ever imagine a situation in which it would seek to invade and occupy Russia. History tells us that, far from being easy, such attempts don't end well. The West missed an opportunity...

I felt guilty about giving up on 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee'. I started reading Rand's 'The Fountainhead' but gave up as it was obvious that she was going to be banging on with the same unpleasant and simplistic ideas for over 300 more pages. + many more to be honest. I tend to apply...

There is the assumption that with 11 men they would have won easily but based on the way we ended the half I think we would have given them a lot to think about in the second half. Also, if the gulf in class that they take for granted actually exists they wouldn’t have parked the bus in the way...

Walls Come Tumbling Down: The Music and Politics of Rock Against Racism, 2 Tone and Red Wedge - Daniel Rachel

I'v got the Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 speakers and they are excellent and very good value.

I'd much rather watch an evening of Taylor Swift than a couple of hours of Manc posturing and various re-hashes of the same song.

The Last Secret by Nicholas Bethell. The story of the forced repatriation of Russian citizens who had fallen into the Allies hands at the end of WWII as a result of Yalta. I was aware of the situation with the Cossacks but I hadn't realised the wider scale of this.

Why would someone from Suffolk go to Cambridge on holiday?

One thing most seem to have in common is there being far less convoluted ways of achieving the objective than the one apparently chosen. However theorists love complexity and strangely significant co-incidences but are suspicious of any actual evidence.

I had Colin Bell and Brian Labone from the 1970 Esso World Cup coin collection.

I was assuming it would be London as I have lived in the area for 40 years but all I have watched is football and cricket. My family lived in Washington DC for a few years in my late teens/early 20s and I went to football, American football, ice hockey and tennis. In those days you had to...

My experience of contact with the well-established Somali community in Camden couldn't be more different than what you describe.

You could always have something like 'experience of working in a faith-based organisation' as desirable. It's quite reasonable to want evidence that someone will be sensitive to the type of organisation in which they will be working. I think it's less reasonable to exclude anyone that doesn't...
