And we are not talking Evans Outsize here, we are talking curtains. In fact, today she is wearing a sheet – a very nice old linen sheet that she has dyed and made into a dress. “That’s one of the advantages of being fat – it’s a very good way to show off a lot of nice cloth.”
But in the world of interiors it is not Angel’s size they talk about – it is her eye. Angel’s eye is fabled, legendary; and her shop with the equally legendary name, Tobias and the Angel, is the stuff of stylists’ dreams. It is a mixture of refugees from the past: raffia-embroidered tea cosies, linen sheets, thick rustic pottery, small objects of desire; utilitarian beauty from the present: lilac and red dusters, plain string- coloured cloths and linen scrim, tied with ribbons in bundles so seductive that you have to get a grip on yourself (it is, you have to keep reminding yourself, only a pile of floor cloths); stuff that Angel herself has made: teddy bears dressed in clothes made from scraps of antique fabrics, gilded flowerpots; and strings of objets trouvs: a dried mushroom dyed red, a gold walnut, a starfish, an antique button. `We used to call them just strings,’ explains Angel, `until one day a lady came in and told us they were objets trouvs.’ She and her staff now try to introduce the heavily emphasised expression into conversation as often as they can. `Oh, I’m great trouv-er of objets,’ she declares.
Angel opened 10 years ago with her partner, the Tobias of the shop’s title, from whom she is now “divorced”, while still keeping custody of the name.
Their names were, you might say, a godsend, though in fact Angel is not her baptismal name; she was given it at university. Her family knew her as Biddy, which she hated – “it sounds like a workhorse; Biddy was always the cook in the kitchen, the washer of Jesus’ feet. Nothing glamorous about it.”Angel finds the whole idea of being the Queen of Taste very funny – “Oh Angel, you’ve got such wonderful taste,” she mimics, “mm, mm, kiss, kiss, kiss.” But her business is something she takes very seriously. Christmas is a major production here in White Hart Lane, where chi-chi Barnes threatens to fizzle out and become mundane Mortlake, and where a few unglamorous traders – motor mechanics, launderettes and Indian newsagents – are still holding their own against a tidal wave of decorating and antique shops.For four days each November the windows of the shop are blacked out while Angel and a team of helpers set about creating Christmas Angel is the motivator, her brother Sean the doer. “You know those builders who always say `Oh you can’t do that’,” explains Angel, “Sean is the opposite.” This year what she had in mind was a small cottage in the shop, with a bedroom window looking out on to a gloriously gloomy garden of lilies of the valley, hyacinths and amaryllis planted in tin tubs, old wooden sieves and enamel mugs. Sean’s solution was to dismantle a derelict shack in the country and rebuild it in the shop.Re-using things is a driving force in Angel’s life. “I think it’s a matter of feeling sorry for things,” she muses, “but it’s a wonderful feeling when you can use even the tiniest scrap of marvellous cloth to make something new.”Her Christmas baubles are upholstered in sections of old fabric, the joins covered in braid and then they are embellished with old beads or sequins.
She also makes exquisite trios of padded hearts and shoe decorations out of antique fabrics. Nothing is cheap: at the same time as people are wandering round the shop loudly proclaiming, “It’s a poem, an absolute poem,” you can also hear quite a lot of sharp intakes of breath and incredulous whispers as tweed-skirted ladies try to convince each other that the decimal point is in the wrong place.Angel is not apologetic about her prices – after all, she knows exactly how much labour went in to each piece. And however much some customers may mutter under their breath, “I could do that”, the truth is that they probably couldn’t. The sewing she does is a lost art these days when for the average female a running stitch is something one gets in the side during aerobics.Angel did O-level needlework but it was handling old things and seeing “the beautiful way they were stitched that made me want to do it.
The trouble today is that people want everything to be quick – and so the world gets filled with badly made things. This is why I hate all these `craft’ books with their `short cuts’; all they do is diminish expertise.” But she hates the idea of being thought of as someone who rejects the new. “I think it’s just that it’s easier to judge quality when things are worn because you are not seduced by their immediacy I suppose you could say I was a coward. But also if you’re buying second hand you are generally getting better value because you are not paying the initial making price.
Bad Hotel Guests: Randy and Evi Quaid, Wino and Courtney Love
Robinson has taken As You Like It, reduced the cast to just Orlando, Celia and Rosalind, added a few blues songs, played fast and loose with the dialogue, and relocated it to what appears to be a building site She’s also turned it into a love triangle. The pair are so emotionally close to each other that, when Rosalind is expelled from court, Celia tells her that “thou and I are one”. Here, though, there’s little sense of that closeness, or of how Rosalind’s love for Orlando threatens to destroy it, and even her tortured outburst to Rosalind, “You have simply misused our sex in your love prate”, becomes little more than a momentary strop.From one extreme to another: if the BAC As You Like It begs the question “How little attention to the sub-text can you get away with in Shakespeare?”, Wicked Bastard of Venus (Southwark Playhouse) demands “How much?”.The answer seems to be “a lot”, if you’re as inventive as Julie-Anne Robinson. But the way Brewis fights shy of anything remotely resembling a sub-text has its price, and nowhere more so than in the relationship between Celia and Rosalind. Julia Barrie’s Rosalind is of the type Michael Billington once called “the hoydenish thigh-slapper who looks as if she’s feverishly awaiting the arrival of Dick Whittington’s cat”; Orlando tries to strangle his brother early on, but makes up for it by being squeaky clean thereafter; and Jacques (played by Peter Pacey as Arden’s answer to Reggie Perrin) is more waggish than melancholy.
None of which is necessarily a bad thing: nothing wrong, after all, with a jolly Arden, and this production does have the tremendous benefit of clarity.
There is nothing remotely dark about Peter Brewis’s production. Peter Brewis’s As You Like It (BAC) has a deceptive beginning. In Oliver’s orchard, a single red apple hangs in the air, immediately to be plucked and eaten. Charles the Wrestler plonks his huge frame down on to a child’s chair The tone is sinister, the set likewise. Veiny tree roots creep out from one corner of the stage but, this apart, Arden resembles not so much a forest as an ocean, all sea greens and blues, with a whirlpool of squirls centre- stage
Well, perhaps you can read too much into a design. A lot of the philosophy is gone, but the basics are there quite strongly.”They’re also conspicuously absent from the down-market sequel to War and Peace published in Russia earlier this year.

The surprise, given these unwelcome resonances, is that most adaptations of Tolstoy’s novel save time by ignoring its historical theories. “The opera house is not a place for theorising,” says Sir Edward. With Leningrad under siege the same year, Prokofiev was encouraged to stress the novel’s patriotic elements. To his 11-scene piano score he added heroic marches, arias and choruses, shifting the focus from the domestic scenes that will be played up by Edmundson’s adaptation.

The “Big Three” goes to the Mets, but it is as close as it gets. The score is Mets two, Phillies one. Now, consider the secondary heroes. Shane Victorino and Luis Castillo match up pretty nicely.

That no agreement was reached with any group about the terms of any rebidding.. Shares in Peel Holdings jumped 30p to 265p after the Law Lords approved the property company’s plans for an out-of-townshopping centre near Manchester. The decision draws a line under two years of legal wrangling between the company and a consortium of eight Greater Manchester councils which has fought bitterly against the development. David Kaiserman, of Manchester City Council, said: “We are disappointed and not a little annoyed.
The Law Lords were considering a very narrow legal point and their decision in no way comes to a view on the merits of the case.”
He criticised John Gummer, the environment secretary, for not enforcing last year’s Court of Appeal decision to quash permission for the scheme, despite the fact that he has spoken strongly against the explosion of out-of-town shopping centres.Mr Kaiserman said the development, at Dumplington, would involve the transfer of pounds 300m of trade a year from town centres to the new centre and warned that the impact on high streets could be devastating.The 300-acre development, which Peel says could create 3,000 permanent jobs and might involve pounds 200m of investment, is probably the last big out- of-town scheme to get planning consent. Government policy has undergone a marked shift over the past two years in favour of revitalising town centres and restricting environmental damage caused by large greenfield sites only accessible by car.Peel has argued that of all the UK’s major population centres, only the North-west is without a large regional shopping mall. Land Securities, currently building a similar scheme near Leeds, said yesterday that it would be interested in acting as a partner at Dumplington.The House of Lords decision is a long-awaited relief for John Whittaker, Peel chairman, who waged a 10-year battle for control of Manchester Ship Canal, Dumplington’s developer. Mr Whittaker defeated rebel shareholders led by Nicholas Berry, former owner of the Harraps dictionary business, in 1993, shortly after consent was originally granted for the Dumplington scheme.Analysts said the approval could be worth pounds 40m, or 40p a share, to Peel.

Possible candidates are still largely based on speculation, but currently the most likely of these are in house: offensive coordinator Al Saunders, who formerly built an offensive juggernaut as the offensive coordinator for the Chiefs from 2001-2005, and defensive coordinator Greg Williams, who built excellent defenses in both Buffalo and Tennessee. Now Daniel Snyder must face the daunting task of replacing someone with so much knowledge, experience, and respect of the game. That kind of leadership is the intangeable factor that makes a coach like Gibbs hard to replace. However, consider that this season he faced perhaps the most daunting challenge of his career: rallying the team to reach the playoffs following the death of their pro-bowl teammate and a 5-7 start. But all of us respect it and understand it.” Gibbs’ most recent run with the Redskins produced a 30-34 regular season record (1-2 in playoffs), and no divisional titles, on first glance in no way comparable to his first run, in which he went 124-60 (16-5 in playoffs), and an impressive 6 division titles and 3 Super Bowls.
The game, always prone to contemplating its own navel, needs second division nations like the Pumas, Western Samoa and Italy to compete against the traditional powers with a genuine chance of victory if it is not to become a crashing bore.”Rugby in Argentina is changing for the better because we are becoming professional in the way we think,” Arbizu said. “We propose to be fully professional, but it is important to have the right structures in place This performance was a big step along the road. We showed we could come to Twickenham and earn respect.”Arbizu and his men earned more than that, even if their pockets remained uncontaminated by filthy lucre. If Argentina get the transition right off the field, as well as on it, and succeed in regathering their best players from the four points of the compass – remember, there was no Mendez, Noriega, Corral or Pichot on Saturday – they may yet help tighten the southern hemisphere’s stranglehold on the sport Never mind, England.

Everyone is entitled to a bad day at the office, but not all at the same time And not quite as bad as this was. The howls of rage and jeers of derision which hounded England’s players into the tunnel after one of their most inept performances yet suggest that the country has had a bellyful of bull. You can talk a great game until forever, but it seems in the last 18 months or so that while England’s management has done the talking the rest of the rugby world – most notably the southern hemisphere, which also includes a much-improved Argentina – has put the theory into practice.
In an office environment, when a problem is identified it is management’s job to solve it, and generally quickly. If a staff member is not producing the goods you can be sure that in the commercial world changes in personnel will follow. Well, out there it is a professional world; mistakes cost money.It is now also a commercial world in rugby yet Jack Rowell, high-powered executive in the business world, admitted after Saturday’s sorry affair: “We have not resolved certain issues, but they are not going to be readily resolved.
You are not going to resolve them in three weeks.”No one expected Rowell and his colleagues to achieve it in that short time. But fans – the 57,000 or so who bothered to go – left Twickenham questioning whether England will ever get things right. And they are well aware that in fact Rowell has had a great deal longer than three weeks to solve the issues – the back-row and the half-backs as well as the over-abundance of centres. How much longer must the rugby public be treated to the line, now wearing extremely thin, that England can go on and learn from this? That tired old phrase is being repeated after every match, win or lose.The scrum-half Andy Gomarsall said after the game: “I was pleased with my performance today. It was a stronger performance than the one against the New Zealand Barbarians.

“So what exactly is phone sex, dear?” they inquired as we tried to change the subject. The most depressing event came in St Petersburg with the murder of Galina Starovoitova, standard-bearer of liberal democracy.Was there anything to celebrate? Yes, but not much Mr Yeltsin buried the Romanovs with real dignity. This year saw an attempt to kill Georgia’s president, Eduard Shevardnadze; a deeply flawed election in Azerbaijan, and a crackdown on opposition forces in Kazakhstan. The Communists may not have expanded their (frozen) electoral base but they are in triumphant mood, savouring the rout of the pro-western “reformers”.Democracy is making no real headway in Russia’s regions. As the rouble printing presses roll, inflation will worsen and, with it, the economic pressure on an already deeply beleaguered population GDP next year is expected to be about that of Belgium Corruption shows no sign of abating And political extremism is on the rise.
Into his seat came the weathered arch-pragmatist and former Foreign Minister, Yevgeny Primakov, and a “nomenklatura” cabinet whose chief characteristics are plodding caution, a respect for Soviet methods, and suspicion of western remedies Mr Primakov is now running the show. How could it be otherwise? Mr Yeltsin started the year with a respiratory infection, and was regularly troubled by illness and bouts of confusion.Though he may make it to the end of his term in 2000, history seems certain to show that the Yeltsin era fizzled out in 1998.So what does 1999 hold? There is precious little cause for optimism. Yet within weeks, western diplomats were privately hailing his government, with its team of hard-headed market economists, as the most promising in Russia’s post-Soviet history.Not for long August’s debacle led to his sacking. These have now fallen apart.
The end came in August when Russia abandoned its efforts to defend the currency (despite billions of IMF dollars), and defaulted on its internal debt. The banking system seized up, slamming its doors on millions of depositors The rouble crashed to less than a third of its value. Saddest of all Russians saw theirsavings and long-delayed wage arrears shrivel away, condemning them to even more abject poverty.Only five months earlier Mr Yeltsin had recruited an unheard-off, 35- year-old energy minister to replace his veteran premier, Viktor Chernomyrdin Sergei Kiriyenko was a picture of a bewildered bank clerk. A year ago Mr Yeltsin’s government and its western supporters could at least brandish several concrete achievements.A stable currency Low inflation A small, but thriving, stock market.
THIS WAS the year in which the West saw the death of its Russian dream. Words such as “reform” and “free market” became as enfeebled as Boris Yeltsin. But the dead cannot be resurrected and by April, the explosion that all America’s friends in the region – Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, King Hussein of Jordan and King Fahd of Saudi Arabia – have warned of may well have come to pass.. And so does Lebanon, where Syrian- supported guerrillas from the Hizbollah movement continue to attack Israeli troops occupying the southern part of Lebanon – and whose withdrawal was supposed to have been completed in 1978 under the terms of UN Resolution 425.Israel condemns these “terrorist attacks”, demanding yet more conditions that do not appear in the UN resolution.If Labour takes power in the April Israeli elections, say the optimists, maybe the “peace process” will be put back on track again. But within four days – once they realised that the “friend” of Palestine was abandoning them again – the Palestinians burnt the American flag once more.Even before Mr Clinton had left the Middle East, Mr Netanyahu refused to carry out further troop withdrawals that Israel had promised and then suspended the Wye Agreement altogether – no objections from the Americans, of course.Unable any longer to balance his refusal to abide by the terms of the Oslo accord with the even more bellicose policies of extremists in his cabinet, Mr Netanyahu called an election, which will suspend all relations with the Palestinians for more than three months – an effective death notice for Oslo.Syria, which saw through the facade of Oslo from the start, still sticks to Resolution 242 as a foundation of peace – and the return by Israel of the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. In December, they paused to fly the US flag over Gaza to greet President Clinton as he stepped on to the soil of “Palestine”.
Palestinian jails began to fill up again with “Islamists” and the PLO’s torturers went back to work with the CIA’s blessing.Mr Clinton used the opportunity of “saving the peace” to embellish his own failed statesmanship, accepting almost all Israel’s demands – even considering the release of an Israeli spy who had been paid to steal American military secrets – while rewarding Mr Arafat with a visit to Gaza.For most of the year, the Palestinians burnt American flags. Double standards have also been a foundation of the Oslo Agreement.But the “peace process” is not about fairness or justice; it revolves around just how little the Palestinians will accept in return for being a client kingdom of Israel. The Wye Agreement – presided over by thefickle leadership of Bill Clinton – restated all the Oslo conditions that Mr Netanyahu and Mr Arafat had failed to meet but added a new pro-Israeli clause, which heaped the blame for all violence on to Palestinians.Mr Arafat was enjoined to hunt down “terrorists”, “terrorist cells” and the “terrorist structure” of “terror groups” – and he could forget the “terrorist” violence of Israeli settlers over whom there was to be no control – with the help of the CIA. When Jewish settlers shot down Palestinians they were called “extremists” or “zealots”.

Last October Mr Gray was jailed for six years after being convicted of stealing more than pounds 3m.
Gray, 27, laundered shares owned by his father and the British Heart Foundation. He did this while working as an assistant to a director in Panmure’s private client stockbroking department.Panmure discovered the frauds in the spring of 1994, seven years after Gray joined the firm. JOHN WILLCOCK

British Gas concluded a round of sweeping boardroom changes with the appointment as group finance director of Philip Hampton, the 42-year-old finance director of British Steel. Mr Hampton succeeds Roy Gardner, who has taken on a much wider brief and is increasingly regarded as the eventual replacement for the chief executive, Cedric Brown, now seen as the last of the old guard.Mr Gardner, who joined from GEC in late 1994, takes on the formidable responsibility of renegotiating long-term contracts with North Sea producers, which are forcing the company to buy much more gas than it can sell, often at prices above those available in the market today. The payout followed Scantronic’s takeover last November by Menvier Swain.Together with the cost of closing Scantronics’s headquarters, the pay- off has caused a pounds 1m exceptional charge that will wipe out any profits made in the second half to April.Mr Brookes had been on a five-year contract until Scantronic’s board negotiated it down to three years shortly before the pounds 10.5m takeover.He was on a salary of pounds 210,000 plus pension contributions at 15 per cent of salary, at a time when Scantronic had fallen heavily into loss.Menvier said it will also be writing down the value of Scantronic stock on its balance sheet by pounds 4m in the second half.Mr Brookes’ payout was not the only one to hit Menvier Swain.Just before Christmas the firm also paid a sum believed to be pounds 250,000 to settle a lawsuit with the former finance director Ray Dias.Mr Dias left the company after pressure from institutions when Scantronic hit trading problems amid mounting debt in July 1994.. Ian Martin, who left the company to become chairman of Unigate, was paid pounds 557,458.David Nash was paid pounds 790,000, the company confirmed yesterday, when he lost out to John McGrath in the battle for the position of chief executive.At the other end of the pay scale, the company last month paid pounds 106,000 in compenstion to 900 of its Burger King staff who were told to clock off on unpaid breaks whenever the outlets were quiet.Meanwhile, Scantronic, the security alarms firm, revealed yesterday a pounds 780,000 payout to former chief executive Chris Brookes hit profits.
