It scores very highly because of the images it presents but the reality is that the issue has absolutely no actual impact on the lives of 99% of the population. Once 'solved' it will slip off the radar and people might start thinking more about the things that actually impact their lives and...

This is the same with all 'culture war' issues which basically is what the Tories see this as. Once you 'solve' the problem it loses political impact and will probably create a backlash. In this case there would be real-life stories which would turn refugees into real people which is the last...

Great band. I played 'One More From the Road' yesterday and it must be one of the best live albums. The closest I got to seeing them live was turning up at the Dome in October 1975 to be told that their gig was cancelled as Ronnie Van Zandt had flu.

He came to film a TV programme about his family history at my previous workplace and was rude and arrogant throughout. He asked if he could use the goods entrance so he could make a joke about not being allowed by the organisation to use the main entrance. The progamme was then edited to make...

I lived in Helsinki for 3 years as a child and those midsummer days were amazing. The downside was midwinter when it seemed dark all the time.

These are classic children's books and I can't see any problem with a few changes in terminology to ensure that they can be enjoyed by all children and which don't normalise the use of words which are now viewed as negative. My old employer, The British Library, has published a series of crime...

Such sad news. Marquee Moon was such a ground breaking album. I never saw Television live but I saw Tom as part of Patti Smith's band in 1996; Tom and Lenny Kaye playing together was great. A unique talent.

My grandmother was from South Yorkshire and she always served them as a flat pancake-style starter covered in gravy.

I have been on the type of antibody therapy that you describe for the last 12 months. It is the 4th type of treatment that I have had and it has been by far the most effective so far with no significant side effects. All the very best with it.

Such sad news. Great memories of the Two-Tone Tour at Portsmouth Guildhall, even if it felt like the whole place could kick off at any moment. His career indicated an interesting range of musical influences from ska to Scott Walker with some really interesting results. He will be sadly missed

I am sorry to hear your news. On the positive side there are new blood cancer treatments emerging all the time. I was diagnosed with Myeloma 4 and a half years ago. It is an incurable blood cancer and so I am am permanently on treatment; chemo and immunotherapy at the moment. Although mine...

I have incurable cancer and am being kept alive by chemotherapy and have been for the last 4 years. If it wasn't for the nurses I wouldn't be here. They deserve to have a decent standard of living and it is an absolute disgrace that the government is using them as a political football. My...

Those were the 2 worst for me. I was inconsolable as an 11 year old in 1970.

I saw them last August supporting From the Jam at St Albans. They were great.

Cinema Paradiso; I just have to hear the music and I start. Also when I saw the remake of West Side Story at the cinema last year I had a very soggy face mask at the end.

I went to Lancing College in the 1970s (my dad was a diplomat so the taxpayer paid). Although there were some totally nice and normal pupils there was a prevailing view that we were superior to everyone else either due to our intelligence or the hard work of our parents. I think that may still...

I retired in Jan this year and have been invited to the do at O'Neills in Euston Rd tomorrow. It's a good chance to catch-up and I always liked the people I worked with. Thankfully it is a set price for everyone and you buy your own drinks at the bar so there shouldn't be any longwinded debate...

I used ODT Solicitors in New Rd, Brighton for the sale of my mother's house last year and they were really efficient and easy to deal with.
