In a game in 1947 he scored the winning goal, before being attacked by the opposing fans, and had to be taken to hospital.It didn’t seem to get to him, though, as he was soon back scoring goals, and eventually helped River Plate to the league title, finishing top scorer in the process, in his first season back at River Plate.Di Stefano’s 27 goals in 30 matches accounted for a third of all River Plate’s goals that season, and he was voted the South American Player of the Year.1947 was a year to remember for Di Stefano on the international stage as well, as it was the year he made his first appearance for Argentina. On the final drive of the game for the Panthers, coach John Fox elected not to call a timeout as the clock ticked down to six seconds.

The first three out of the bag will win.Photograph by Ben Elwes. Great Universal Stores surprised the stock market yesterday with a pounds 1.6bn hostile bid for Argos, the catalogue retailer.
Argos rejected the bid as ‘opportunistic’ and must fight the takeover without its chief executive who is seriously ill Nigel Cope, City Correspondent reports. GUS turned hostile after failing to agree terms with the Argos management during two meetings in the past week. GUS pitched its cash offer at 570p but the Argos share price soared 42 per cent to 630p, indicating that the City regards it as only an opening shot. GUS shares closed 29p higher at 762p.
“At the right price it is an attractive deal but it would not look so good much over 630p,” said Nick Bubb at SG Securities.
Argos rejected the offer and advised its shareholders to reject the offer. Argos also announced that its chief executive, Mike Smith, is unable to undertake his full range of duties and is undergoing a course of medical treatment. The company has decided to search for a new chief executive designate. “To describe it [the bid] as opportunistic in view of all the circumstances would be an understatement,” it said.Analysts were sceptical that a counter-bidder would emerge. Some suggested Kingfisher but it would run into regulatory difficulties as its Woolworths chain has a high market share in toys in which Argos is also strong.It is GUS’s first ever hostile bid in its 80-year history and will be funded by around pounds 1bn debt, the first time the company has owed a penny since the 1950s.
Lord Wolfson, GUS chairman, first approached Argos nine months ago about a possible link in home shopping. It held bid talks with Sir Richard Lloyd, the Argos chairman, twice in the last week but they broke down on price. “Our impression was that they agreed there was a certain logic to the deal but there was a big gap on price,” Lord Wolfson said.GUS said its offer represented a 40 per cent premium to the closing Argos price on 27 January and so was “full and fair”.Lord Wolfson said the logic of the deal was not to cut costs or clear out the Argos management, most of whom would be retained. He said the deal would give GUS a high street presence with 433 stores, which could be used to build a valuable database on customer shopping habits.A deal would enable GUS to offer Argos products though its own catalogues, which include Kay’s and Choice, and to include GUS ranges in the Argos product selection. GUS also said it would be able to help Argos build a home shopping and home delivery operation at a fraction of the cost of the programme planned by Argos.
It said it would be able to offer call centres, and a delivery infrastructure using its White Arrow van network, which handles 110 million parcels a year. GUS would also be able to offer credit to customers using its Experian finance operation.Lord Wolfson said Argos had been facing considerable pressure as rivals grabbed market share in its core markets of toys, electricals and jewellery. A good home shopping operation would also help alleviate Argos’ problems with long queues at Christmas, he said.He said he did not expect the deal to run into problems with the regulatory authorities as there were no market share problems.The offer is a huge blow to Argos, which was one of the stock market’s star performers in 1995 and early 1996 but has since fallen from grace. Both have fallen rapidly in the past two years and the gap is now as wide as it has ever been.However, at least 10 changes to benefit rules since 1979 have all helped to reduce the number of claimants by far more than what most economists would take as a “true” measure of unemployment.As a result, the headline jobless total became one of the most discredited and politicised of all official statistics. The ONS is to base a monthly estimate of the number of people seeking jobs and available to work on the quarterly Labour Force Survey (LFS).Like the critics of the many “fiddles” which helped reduce the headline claimant count over the years, the ONS would have preferred to switch to a full monthly survey of the jobs market But the cost of at least pounds 10m a year was prohibitive. The compromise will cost about pounds 250,000 a year.Tim Holt, director of the ONS, said: “There has been a lack of confidence in the labour market figures and this has affected public confidence in statistics at large.”He added he expected the Government would soon be holding consultation on its commitment to create an independent statistical service.The ONS will continue to publish the number of claimants, as this is readily available from benefit offices.John Philpott, director of the Employment Policy Institute, an independent think-tank, said: “This is a step in the right direction.”But he added that even the new, internationally comparable measure left out some unemployed people such as lone parents who might not be actively looking for work but whom the Government was keen to get into jobs.The two measures – the claimant count and the existing quarterly LFS unemployment total – have tended to move in the same direction. Starting in April, the headline jobless total will appear to jump by some 500,000 to about 1.9 million as the result of a decision by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to emphasise an alternative measure of unemployment conforming to international standards, and downplay the current total.
The decision – first reported in The Independent last October but delayed by last-ditch resistance within Whitehall – does not go as far as some critics would like.

Consumers are instinctively feeling that power, and learning how to use it. Where they are blocked or disappointed – for example by the level of government tax on petrol or by the quality of care in the NHS – people get very fed up. Even the public sector now feels under pressure to improve its performance and to offer better value for money.Where will this shift in power lead? We are still in the early stages of this consumer revolution, the first 10 years of a shift that will run for perhaps 30 years, maybe more. But it is already possible to spot some social and political consequences. One political one is that people are defining themselves much more by consumer choice than by political identity. The wiser politicians are rightly concerned at the rejection of political involvement by ordinary people. I recently heard Charles Kennedy point out an alarming fact: that more people belonged to the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds than to all the political parties put together.
It was, he argued, a serious failure of politicians as a group that they had not managed to engage with people more directly.Now membership of the RSBP is hardly an example of consumer awareness: more a sign that people find it easier to identify with the interests of birds than they with the interests of politicians But I have another statistic. There are more members of the British Airways Executive Club – more than 2.5 million – than there are of all the parties, too. People define themselves by what they buy rather than whom they vote for There is a further point here Those BA Executive Club members live all over the world. So people are prepared to define themselves globally in a way that they are reluctant to do nationally. Consumerism and globalism are inextricably entwined.A world of more demanding consumers is also a world of democracy: ordinary people exerting their power to change the conditions in which they live by using their cheque-books and credit cards rather than their votes. We find ourselves voting every couple of years, and may not get our choice when we do.
We use our purchasing power every day and usually do get our choice. Or at least when we don’t, we show our displeasure – as the banks, car companies and airlines are finding to their cost.
More from Hamish McRae. I was sitting at my desk earlier this week, idly scanning the papers (“Ken Follett condemns Labour for poison rumour campaigns!”) and trying to find some real news, not just tittle-tattle about government in-fighting, when my telephone rang. I was sitting at my desk earlier this week, idly scanning the papers (“Ken Follett condemns Labour for poison rumour campaigns!”) and trying to find some real news, not just tittle-tattle about government in-fighting, when my telephone rang.
“Hmrmmamh,” I said, which is the noise I make when I can’t remember off-hand who I am, or can remember but don’t want to share it with anyone.”Hi,” said a voice.
“It’s me.”Don’t you hate it when people say that? People so sure, or maybe unsure, of their own identity, that they don’t refer to it? I sometimes get people called John or Colin ringing up, saying, “Hi, Colin here,” little realising that we all know at least half a dozen Johns or Colins…Don’t get me started on that In any case, I recognised the voice It was Big Mouth Big Mouth is my mole in the Government The name is analogous to Deep Throat, but more accurate. Big Mouth rings me up about once a month to give me secret, inside information about government goings-on, which is totally valueless, and which I always ignore. If he read the paper, he would realise that I make no use of it and leave me alone. Still, it makes me feel important that at least one person in the Government thinks it worth briefing me.”Hello,” I said “It’s you.”You’ll notice that I don’t call him Big Mouth That’s because he doesn’t know he’s called Big Mouth. I’m the only one who knows.”You may have read that Ken Follett is accusing New Labour of blackening people behind their backs,” he said, plunging straight into the agenda.”I may have done,” I said, turning the paper back to that headline.”Ignore him.”"OK,” I said, turning the paper on a few pages.”The fact is that Ken Follett, between you and me, is losing his marbles. He’s the sort of bandwagon supporter we welcomed in the early days, but who’s a bit of an embarrassment now.
‘Doing a less cognitive job is not necessarily less stressful than being in a position of responsibility,’ he says. ‘Stress-related diseases like heart conditions occur far more frequently on the shop floor than on the top floor. The working environment may not be so pleasant, for one thing; being on your feet all day somewhere quite noisy, for example. But the most crucial factor is not having any control.’Not having to take control seems like a blessing to Gillian Stirzaker, however, who says that her brain is now ‘free range’. ‘It occurred to me recently that there was something at the back of my mind, almost like something I had forgotten to do,’ she says. ‘Then I suddenly realised what it was – I didn’t have anything to worry about any more.’ She likens the sense of relief to the feeling of euphoria after an examination, when not having to study any more feels like a huge and unexpected present.Not that Gillian has closed the door entirely to resuming her law career. A period out of the fast lane does not render professionals unemployable; some manage to make a comeback.

‘Most people wouldn’t admit to the fact that they dislike what they’re doing,’ he says. ‘They wait until they’re burnt out or dumped by the organisation because they’re not performing well.’The proof of good adaptation is probably the party test – the moment when a stranger asks for your social credentials When he first gave up his job, Simon Kirby recalls hedging. ‘I used to say, ‘Well, actually I’m an accountant, but at the moment I’m doing landscaping.’ I got over that Now I just say I do odd jobs. If people can’t tell that I’m intelligent by talking to me, then that’s their problem.’(Photograph omitted).
OFFICIALLY, it was a wedding reception. To the invited guests wandering the grounds of the Chateau de Courances, an hour’s drive from Paris, a couple of weeks ago, it felt more like The Draughtsman’s Contract (or Last Year in Marienbad if you were past 40). Certainly the party to celebrate the marriage of Valentine de Ganay, the youngest daughter of the house, and her husband, the artist Markus Hansen, was an event. An international band of artists was invited to install or perform their work and over 400 guests strolled the grounds. The party (christened ‘A Charadezade’) began at four in the afternoon and went on until five the next morning. Five years ago Valentine de Ganay organised a similar happening in the grounds of the chateau, and has wanted to stage another ever since.
‘This is a great place for people to express themselves in a different environment I hate those kind of arty ghettos. And people don’t go to galleries and museums so much anymore People are bored by those places. Therefore it is great to ask artists to do their work in a place completely off the wall like Courances. My only rule was that each artist should do something he or she couldn’t do elsewhere They chose their place. Then we discussed the conception of the pieces together.’
Over 20 artists participated Australians, Americans, Britons and, of course, Parisians. The prime movers included shoemaker Christian Louboutin, designer Mattia Bonnetti, artist Rachid Koraichi, landscape artist Pascal Cribier, American conceptual artist Joseph Kosuth, and sculptress Muriel Pulitzer Wooden rabbits clustered around the Delphic columns. Margolaine Degremont’s abstract mobiles lolled on the lily pond, the rainbow-spewing prisms along the ornamental waterways were installed by David Boeno, and Liz Stirling created a crinoline swing.

Either way, Kinsler is a solid second-round option next season.

Back home, I read the small print in the E111 handbook, called Health Advice for Travellers. Frances’s condition improved with the prescribed gel, but fever, measles and chickenpox never did appear.Misdiagnosis can happen anywhere, but it is galling to have to pay for it – and this was emergency care for a child. After this charade, we were ushered back to the receptionist, who presented me with a bill for 5,000 pesetas. A quick whip-round revealed we possessed even less cash than I had thought.
In the end, our hosts accepted a British cheque made out for 6,000 pesetas.We chased through town to find a pharmacy before its habitual four-hour siesta and raced north, catching the train with 10 minutes to spare. “Sometimes they come back,” he said.He prescribed medicine to quell Frances’s non-existent fever and a soothing gel, telling me to watch out for spots appearing in her mouth. But the doctor, engrossed in his medical translation manual, emerged triumphantly with “chickenpox!” I assured him Frances had already had it, but neither this information nor the fact that her current malaise in no way resembled chickenpox could deter him. “No, but…”He tried a different tack – what about Windpocken? Wind is the German for wind and pocken means spots, so I agreed and started to explain about the prickly heat. He looked in her eyes, tapped her back and listened while she said “aaah” Then he asked me if she had had measles “Measles?” I repeated disbelievingly. I presumed he had been overwhelmed by humanitarian feelings.In his darkened surgery, the doctor (a German) took Frances to an electronic dentist-style examination chair. The cost of an appointment would be 6,000-8,000 pesetas (pounds 31 to pounds 41.) Medicines would be extra.I showed her my E111, but she wasn’t impressed.
All Spanish doctors were private these days, she asserted, adding with audible disdain that there was some social security, but we would have to travel miles to find out about it It was nearly midday and we had a train to catch. We turned to leave, but the receptionist ran after us – apparently the doctor would see us now. The receptionist asked a few questions (“name?” “fever?”) and we lifted Frances’s T-shirt to show the blotchy marks.Would it be free? “Oh no,” said the receptionist. We applied a cold flannel, but as we set off to catch thetrain, our patient got worse.Luckily, there was a surgery outside the camp-site, and it was open I marched in with my wailing daughter, waving my E111 form.
As we were about to leave the camp-site, seven-year-old Frances started screaming and scratching her chest, which was red and raw. I recognised the symptoms of prickly heat, an intense form of sun-induced itching.Cool baths help, but symptoms can take days to clear Standard medical treatments involve antihistamine tablets. This should have been enough preparation for a week in the Costa Brava, but I had not reckoned on the vagaries of applying documents to real life.Our holiday was uneventful, medically speaking, until the last day. I had travel insurance, Green Card, bail bond and even my toothbrush. Briefly, this means that free or reduced-cost emergency medical treatment should be available when you travel in the new European Economic Area (EEA) – EU states, plus Austria, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.I had my E111. A staggering 6 million trips abroad (about 20 per cent) are taken without travel insurance.
Still, at least we can take every opportunity to put them in their place. It was a philosophy rooted in the days of Empire, defended in the spirit of Rourke’s Drift. It should be a close- run thing between Ramprakash and Phil Tufnell.. Twenty, perhaps even 10, years ago, Ascot’s attitude to racegoers at the Royal meeting went something like this: The toffs will turn up as usual, God bless them; so, regrettably, will the great unwashed. Football has thrown up more examples, from Graeme Souness to Dennis Wise. You might call it Cantona’s Law: the player who shows most independence, who rails at the often petty manoeuvrings of those in authority over him, is the one most likely to be leadership material.Assuming that Hussain has now made the Test grade, the selectors will have to look elsewhere for the next A team captain.
“He was said to have been volatile, mercurial, temperamental – all the things one might worry about in a captain.” This is the orthodox thinking. And it is wrong.Hussain is not the only example in cricket of a rebel turned leader. Ray Illingworth himself was a pretty obstreperous England captain, while Atherton looked like a model citizen, captain of Cambridge and all that, but soon turned out to have a streak of cussedness. Now, when the only other possible captain in the team is Jack Russell, it looks eminently sensible.Another remark of Vockins’s caught the eye “I knew of his reputation,” he recalled. Team manager John Emburey went further: “If Mike Atherton was to get ill or injured, Hussain could be a very good replacement.” This was said in December, and seemed far-fetched.
Hussain showed dissent in both his first two innings for England, in St Kitts in 1990, and was given a fearsome dressing-down by Graham Gooch. This may have had something to do with the fact that Gooch’s successor as captain of Essex was Paul Prichard.On tour with England A, Hussain received nothing but praise. “He was immensely mature in his leadership,” said tour manager Mike Vockins – the Rev Mike Vockins, that is. It was clever of the selectors to pick Hussain for this Test, but it was even more so to make him captain of the A team last September. This appears to have been a late decision: Alan Wells revealed this weekend that he had a call from Illingworth checking whether, if he didn’t make the senior party, he would be happy to resume at the helm of the junior one. But it had been noted that Hussain made a fine start as vice-captain of Essex, and the selectors overlooked the fact that his career was littered with bust- ups and tantrums.This was a real step forward.
If there’s one thing cricket administrators hate, it’s temperamental young players. Mark Ramprakash, Hussain’s friend and fellow firecracker, was unofficially suspended by England for a year after some little local difficulties at Middlesex. Still umpiring well – he came third last year on marks given by county captains – he decided some time ago that next week’s Test at Lord’s would be his last, though he plans to carry on at county level for another season.”It’s going to be something special though,” said Bird, whose pay package for his first Test in 1973 came to pounds 25 – the current fee is pounds 2,200 “There is nothing to compare with Lord’s on Test match day. (Friday was a bad Hair day; Saturday was an even worse one.) Exactly half of Hussain’s 128 were made in company with the debutant tailenders, Patel and Mullally. He had said that he was looking forward to batting higher than No6 for the first time; the way things turned out, there wasn’t a lot of difference.Marshalling the tail requires leadership as well as skill. What the management were saying, loud and clear, was the thing all managements, in sport or outside, ought to say more often than they do: we believe in you.
“But if he’s unhappy about something he’ll sit down with Jean and me and tell us so. He’s not going to do it in public because he cares about the people here and he’s also intelligent enough to realise he will have more effect working internally than going to the press.”As soon as people go to the press the others resent it The last thing you want is a driver whingeing in the press. I’m surprised more drivers haven’t sussed that.”Brawn and Todt have had to spell out that message to their other driver, Rubens Barrichello. The Brazilian has complained on a couple of occasions about the “favouritism” shown to Schumacher.
The reality, as Barrichello will now appreciate, is that his team-mate is the best in the business and it makes competitive and commercial sense for the team to back him.Some believe Schumacher to be even better than Barrichello’s late countryman, Ayrton Senna. It is a debate Brawn diplomatically opts out of, acknowledging that death can serve to enshrine the reputation of a folk hero.Brawn says: “It is very difficult to judge Certainly Senna had an aura about him. That was partly due to the country he came from and the idolisation he had there He was a God in Brazil. Europeans are different, so there can’t be the same type of feeling about Michael.”In terms of ability as a racing driver Michael undoubtedly ranks with the best.
But I never worked with Ayrton so I can’t fairly compare the two Michael is in a different era now. Everything moves on.”Schumacher and Ferrari are keeping pace with the time and Brawn insists they will endeavour to sustain their remorseless momentum through the remaining seven grands prix of the season.”This year, if we don’t screw up, we should be OK,” Brawn says “Our belief is that attack is the best form of defence You can’t afford to just settle for points. If you change your style you take a risk.”We’re going to try and win every race, in the same way that we have done so far this season.”So what about the prospect of a new challenge, at Old Trafford?”I’ll be happy enough watching from the stand when we win the European Cup again,” he grinned.. Henry Paul will fly back from defeat with New Zealand this weekend to tell Bradford whether he will be taking flight permanently.
“This is a matter of protecting life on Earth, yet there is great reluctance to provide funding.”Current funding has succeeded in building the first of four dedicated telescopes. Part of the Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response System (Pan-Starrs) project, the Hawaii-based PS1 has just begun capturing its first test images. “It would cost a few hundred million dollars, which is what we spend on any run-of-the-mill space launch and there are several of those a year,” he says. “It’s a global threat that a lot of people are working on, but unfortunately not the government agencies,” he says.The irony for Schweickart is that it wouldn’t cost a fortune to divert potentially hazardous asteroids. “But, due to lack of funding, Nasa isn’t able to develop technology to deflect any oncoming asteroids.”Nasa currently receives approximately $3.5m per year to research the subject. Schweickart insists this is nowhere near enough if we are to properly protect ourselves. Nearly 800 have been found so far and it is estimated that there are around 200 or so to be located.
But in December last year the goal was reset to locating the smaller objects, 140m or larger, still by 2020.This is a two-edged sword for NEO expert Russell “Rusty” Schweickart. The former Apollo astronaut – and chairman of the California-based B612 Foundation, an independent organisation founded by a group of astronauts and scientists dedicated to finding ways to protect us against impact from space rocks – is pleased that the asteroid threat is being taken seriously. “My guess is that we’re going to find thousands of asteroids that look like they might hit Earth,” he warns. And these comparatively small chunks of rock are much harder to find – it is only recently that the hunt for them has begun.In 1998, the US Congress directed Nasa to start an early warning programme to locate, by 2020, 90 per cent of NEOs measuring 1km or more.
But an asteroid would not have to be massive to pose a serious threat. If an asteroid as small as 40m across hit Earth, it would create a crater 1.25km across – just think if it hit a city. Astronomers have been tracking large asteroids for decades – the first near-Earth asteroid, Eros, was discovered at the end of the 19th century. With an estimated diameter of up to 800 metres, had XP14 hit Earth it could have wiped out a small country.
Of course, this fly-by came as no surprise Scientists tracking the asteroid knew it would not hit us. To put it another way, it came within 1.1 times the moon’s average distance from the Earth, close enough to be officially classified as a potentially hazardous Near Earth Object (NEO), along with some 782 known others. The number in question comes from a “near miss” that happened earlier this month, when the asteroid named XP14 passed us at 17km per second. This isn’t just a personal insult: it amounts to a racial slur against any pasty-faced countrymen.pandora independent.co.uk.
In most circumstances, 432,000km is a long, long way. But not when that figure is the distance between a large mass of fast-moving rock and planet Earth. “The best thing he could do with Marmite would be to rub it into his face, to help that complexion of his – you never know; it might work.”Ramsay has yet to return fire, but the straight-talking Scot won’t be happy. “John Reid had a breakfast for selected journalists,” I’m told. “Over the black puddings, he shouted ‘Yo, Riddell!’, when the latecomer Peter Riddell appeared.”History does not relate if these two political titans proceeded to perform a high five.There will, I hazard, be precious few more dirty weekends for the publishing industry’s “Mr and Mrs Smith”.On Saturday, James Lohan and Tamara Heber-Percy, authors of the Mr and Mrs Smith guidebooks, got married in Mallorca.They are now “rebranding,” and will appear under a (subtly altered) moniker in a forthcoming TV series, The Smiths’ Hotels for Two.* Seconds out! There is (yet another) round of fisticuffs between Gordon Ramsay and Gary Rhodes.In a break from tradition, Rhodes – and not his Glaswegian rival – reignited their ongoing dispute, at the launch of a “Marmite menu” at his London restaurant.”My advice to Gordon is very simple,” he said.
“He said ‘I want to go to Iraq, I want to go in the next couple of weeks, and I don’t want any money. The lads are having a hard time, and I want to do my bit to cheer them up’.”The internet site Chortle notes (with only mild disapproval) that “comedians are normally approached by CSE.”* George Bush’s preferred greeting- “Yo, Blair! How you doin’?” – is the catchphrase du jour in Westminster, after Tory MPs greeted our PM’s arrival in the Commons with Ali G-style whoops.Behind the scenes, Labour ministers were at it too. As to whether this had anything to do with Fayed, he told me: “I couldn’t possibly answer that.”* I hope it isn’t impertinent to say that Lee Hurst would do anything for a free holiday.The comedian recently asked Combined Services Entertainment to send him to entertain troops in Iraq.”Lee called out of the blue,” reports CSE. Guests at the film’s premiere last night were told that the film-makers decided to change the character’s moniker so as not to upset Fayed.”It was thought that Herod Sayle sounded a bit too much like ‘Harrods Sale’,” I’m told.”The last thing you need, in the precarious British film industry, is to provoke a lawyer’s letter from Fuggie.”The film’s director, Geoffrey Sax, confirmed that he’d been told to change the original name. “Seeing that he was likely to be elected leader of the Labour Party, I went to the trouble of consulting the archives, which I understand are now closed.”There were two political motions that Blair put to the JCR during his ‘red period’. From memory, he was teased mercilessly for the (An Phoblacht) one.”As if that isn’t enough – and what will Ulster’s nationalist community make of the news? – Renton adds: “He’d also just changed his name from Anthony to Tony.”* Not for the first time, Mohamed Fayed is at the centre of an intriguing conspiracy theory.The film Stormbreaker – based on a novel by Anthony Horowitz – features a baddie called Darrius Sayle.Strangely, though, in the original book this Lebanese terrorist had a different first name: Herod. New evidence suggests that our PM’s youthful flirtation with the far left was in fact a full-blown love affair.
Blair was hitherto thought to have been politically docile during his time at St John’s College, Oxford.
Tracey and I did shows at the same time this year and hers opened two weeks before mine. I’d been busy all day and I walked into her opening, saw it hanging there and my heart just dropped, mainly out of fear that mine wasn’t sorted out at all. Those feelings are quite shocking when you have them because you think you’re wiser than that But it’s just real life. Some of the most important people in my life subsequently have been people I met then.But Tracey likes to be melodramatic and that can get on my tits We have lots of ups and downs. In fact, we have some nasty conversations, conversations that I don’t have with other people, because Tracey says what she thinks even if it’s a bit unpalatable. I don’t bear a grudge, but when we row it must look pretty funny from outside.Having a close friend who’s in the same profession as you – those things are always difficult. We had the shop for six months, and met a lot of people in that time It changed things for both of us It changed things for others too.
I remember her saying she liked the fact that she saw me laughing in the corner of the gallery.Soon afterwards I went round to her flat for a cup of tea, because I was having housing problems, and I was surprised by how practical she was. She can also be incisive, which was good when we went on to have the shop together. I’m someone who goes through life being nice: I want people to like me Whereas Tracey’s tough. She wouldn’t hesitate to tell someone to get out of the shop if she was fed up with them, so in that way we balance each other quite well.What I like best about Tracey is that she’s exciting. We started to have a lot of ups and downs, and I thought I didn’t want to be in a relationship with someone … but she was the person to do the shop with because she was brave and exciting I knew that it would be a real change.
A load of people went to the pub afterwards and that was where I got into conversation with Tracey. She was wearing a stripy T-shirt, glasses, had lots of curly hair and was very enthusiastic about the show. We both talk a lot when pissed.
I think she enjoyed my work just because it was very bold, and I think she liked the look of me. Best known for her autobiographical works, such as the embroidered tent ‘Everyone I Ever Slept With 1963-1995′, she also features in ‘Sensation’

I know because I was the female ‘chooser’ who selected him from three ‘hopefuls’ We went to County Cork to kiss the Blarney Stone. Yes indeed – he appeared on the second programme nine years ago. Is it true that Teddy Maybank, the legendary Chelsea, Brighton and Fulham centre-forward was one of the first contestants on Blind Date?A. Their record of excellence in the game was taken up by the Corinthians, who were founded in 1882 – Brian Mellowship, London SE12Q. Although enjoying success in such a short time, by 1880 the club had lost their pre-eminent position to the likes of Old Carthusians and Old Etonians and were disbanded at the end of the 1881-82 season. Initially, they had no ground of their own, but by 1870 they were playing home matches at the Oval, Kennington.
For a variety of reasons, but mainly to obtain a name ‘more in keeping with a club of high standard’ in 1863 Forest was disbanded and reformed as Wanderers. Recruitment was from public school old boys and the major universities. The Wanderers started life as Forest FC, formed in 1859 by a group of Old Harrovians, their ground was at Snaresbrook, Essex. Do the Wanderers, or a successor club, still exist, and if not, is the whereabouts of the original FA Cup known?A.
The first FA Cup, dating from 1871- 72, was won outright by the Wanderers in 1878 after their third successive victory. To quote my mother-in-law they appeared to ‘piddle as they pedal’ – Nicholas Roper, PlymouthQ. On one occasion, as the riders sped past, one of them peed all over his highly polished boots. My father, who was an inspector and on duty, is from a large family of policemen, and always wore his uniform proudly. – Miss K Brown, London W10A The Tour first visited the UK in the early 1970s, for time trials along the Plympton by-pass. In this year’s race, several riders were fined for relieving themselves publicly.
Riders in the Tour de France are allowed to stop to pass urine only if they are out of sight of the public. Therefore, if the racing is hectic, then, as crude as it may seem, either the road itself is used or in exceptional cases the cyclist’s shorts – Peter Burgess, NorwichA. The ideal situation is when the pace is slow and riders can drop off the pack and utilise the roadside verge or a bush The only problem with stopping is the time lost. With stages lasting up to seven hours, combined with frequent liquid intake, the call of nature can come all too often. What arrangements, if any, do they have in the Tour de France for riders to use the toilet during a race? Are there any circumstances in which they are allowed to stop and restart?A. On top of this, and his Olympic performance, the 1953 Whitaker’s Almanack records that he equalled the world 100 metres record at Helsinki in 1951 with a time of 10.2sec – Tim Mickleburgh, GrimsbyQ.
The importance of Russia to European security is as obvious to business people as to security specialists. Political and economic turmoil in Russia can have a wider effect.We all wish to see this large and important country emerge from its current difficulties. Indeed, if we want to help bring Russia into the European mainstream, there is only one chance: that North America and Europe do this together. One partner, in particular, is of key importance to Euro-Atlantic security: Russia. At Washington, we will also strengthen our partnerships.The Partnership for Peace programme was established in 1994 as a programme for developing greater practical cooperation in the military and defence- related fields among allies and countries of Central and Eastern Europe Today, 27 countries have taken up the offer by the allies. Our policy is that we expect to invite additional new members to join Nato in future.
To help aspiring countries prepare themselves better for possible Nato membership, we have enhanced many aspects of our co-operation programmes.The summit will be the occasion on which this package of measures will be unveiled. Both enlargements, therefore, are two sides of the same coin. Sixty million people will, through Nato enlargement, be reunited with the European mainstream from which they have been separated for so long. This act of integration is a concrete way of enlarging the area of Europe in which armed conflict and wars simply do not occur.In complementing alliance enlargement, the separate enlargement of the EU will also help to create the basis for both economic progress and political stability. It will forecast the evolution of the alliance into the next millennium. At Washington, allied leaders will welcome into the alliance as full members the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland.
All these changes will be reflected in our new strategic concept, which will be unveiled at the forthcoming Washington summit in April. What is this strategic concept?In reflecting both the significant political, military and security changes that have taken place in Europe over the past decade, the strategic concept will provide a chart to guide us through the waters ahead. Let me take you briefly through some of the main features of our political agenda, starting with Nato enlargement, our partnership with other European countries, especially Russia, our new missions of crisis management and peace support, and the effort under way to develop a European defence identity in Nato. they are dynamic, not static.
Indeed, it is precisely their potential for evolution that determines their value Nato, for sure, has been anything but standing still. It is a symbol of how countries can strive together for peace, security and stability across a whole continent.
The singer faces a tax bill for 10,472,630 francs ( pounds 1.29m), arising from two concerts in 1987 for which she allegedly failed to declare earnings.. If this means an exchange kept competitive by repeated devaluation as and when needed, this is a recipe for continuing economic mismanagement and instability, of which we have had more than our fair share.
