That line of thought seemed to be more prevalent at Viva El Birdos yesterday as well. (Of course, I also was taken to task for stating I’d have rather them move Brian Barden instead, something I still hold. Barden is more in line with the value of Boyer than Barton, in my book.)Let me be clear, I’m not saying Brian Barton was a world-beater.

It has its place in the general scheme of things – it shouldn’t scream ‘Look at me.’”"People like the idea of commissioning a new carpet,” says Adam Munthe, founder of the Asad Company. “It is no longer a case of, ‘Oh, we must find a carpet as background for this sofa.’ The exciting decorative qualities that a carpet offers in its own right are again being recognised.” (He observes that several of Asad’s commissions have ended up hanging on the wall.) “And commissioning a carpet is relatively inexpensive compared with buying an antique carpet Furthermore, it will last for 100 years. The longevity of an antique carpet is always questionable.”About a third of the carpets created by Asad are made-to-measure large carpets. A third are oriental designs in smaller sizes, and the rest are contemporary designs, many of which are “flatweaves” (carpets without a tuft) designed by Adam’s wife and co-director of the company, Nelly. Her designs appear simple, but on close examination they reveal beautiful gradations of colour “The appeal of flatweaves is their versatility,” she says.
“They are eminently suitable for any type of interior – traditional or contemporary.”Veedon Fleece, a company which specialises in modern rugs, brings out its own collection each year. The designs are diverse, ranging from a reproduction of an Arts and Crafts rug by C F A Voysey to a modern chessboard pattern. “There is a new generation of people buying contemporary carpets,” says the founder, Adam Gilchrist, who attributes this partly to people’s tendency to move house more frequently these days (unfitted carpets are easier to transport than fitted). About half of Gilchrist’s clients are aged between 30 and 45. The rest are slightly older, and are often seeking to replace worn-out antique carpets with replicas. All of Veedon Fleece’s carpets are hand-knotted in Nepal, using wool from Tibetan mountain sheep.
They can be woven up to very large sizes (24m by 8m).Helen Yardley – another pioneer in the world of contemporary carpets, and best known for her abstract creations – has noticed a change in the public’s response to her designs in recent years. “People are much more appreciative, and there is no longer that response of ‘Oh my God, it costs that much.’” The majority of her carpets, which start at pounds 400 a metre, are one-off commissions, although she also brings out a new collection of designs every year. The advantage to commissioning a carpet, she says, is that you can be assured of its uniqueness. “I particularly enjoy working with architects and being pushed in new directions.
It is important for developing my work.” Yardley cites such diverse influences as Henri Matisse, Robert Motherwell and Roger Hilton. One recent commission was a large carpet for the new Four Seasons Hotel in London. But Yardley says, “My clients are of all ages, and from all sorts of social backgrounds.”The carpet designer Sandy Jones says: “Modern carpets drag people who are stuck in the country-house aesthetic into the 20th century by enabling them to be eclectic.” A modern carpet, in fact, can sit perfectly with the country-pile look. Imagine the drawing room of a stately home, its Rembrandts complemented by a contemporary rug spread over a huge expanse of floor.In 1990, after a long career working with textiles, first in the fashion industry and then as a costume designer, Jones set up her own studio designing carpets and textiles. Although many of her carpets are in only two colours, her love of “abrash” (the subtle change in shade caused by variations in the dye) gives them a gorgeous intensity.Contemporary oriental carpets made in the traditional way, and using natural dyes, but using modernist designs, are also popular. Some of the most effective of these will be on display at the forthcoming “Natural Born Colours” exhibition of carpets and kilims (see end for details).David Black is the expert on the use of natural dyes in carpets, and has clients all over the world. In the Seventies, he was influential in promoting the merits of antique tribal and village rugs (highly sought- after once more), bringing several exhibitions to London.
But that said, he’s under no illusions about his own capacity for “evil” He shifts in his seat “I’ll be honest – when I was a kid we had German neighbours. I feel awkward even saying this, but we had a Nazi club because we thought the images were so neat And those leather suits….” He gives a sensual wriggle. “I made a little armband and drew a swastika with a crayon and rushed off to show my mum.”He pauses and rolls his eyes “The lecture I got. At first I resented it, ‘cos she really was mean, but little by little I understood. I have that history in my family – my family history was wiped out,” he swipes the air with his arm, “during the Holocaust. The point is, me and my friends knew all about the six million Jews – we were always hearing about that number.
But, until that point, it didn’t mean anything to us.”X-Men, of course, begins in a concentration camp and is greatly concerned with the link between young people, sex and persecution. It’s no coincidence that so much of the plot focuses on a teenager (Rogue), newly alive to her sexuality. Singer particularly enjoyed directing the “orgasmic” scene between she and Wolverine (“she’s in a night gown, he’s got his shirt off – it’s a very animal kind of thing, not the sort of thing that normally appears in a movie rated PG-13″). And it’s no coincidence that it’s Rogue who Magneto chooses to involve in his fascistic anti-fascist plans. Whatever else, then, Singer hasn’t been frightened off his favourite themes. A more appropriate slogan for the posters would be “trust no one, not even yourself”.At this point, the PR woman comes in, with a peppermint tea for Singer.
He’s just about to lay the teabag down on a magazine when he spots Jude Law on the cover. “Hang on, I don’t want to stain Jude’s face – he’s great, isn’t he?”You have to wonder, though, what Fox makes of all this dark stuff bubbling through a kids’ movie, and wonder, too, what got left out (“you have to choose your battles” is all Singer will say). Certainly, there seems to be a question mark over Singer’s future with the franchise. Singer gushes that he “loves the idea that there’s so much more coming” with X-Men and yet when I ask if he’ll be directing the sequels his voice goes flat: “I don’t know.” Surely it would be weird to have someone else take over though? “Yeah, I agree, but I have to talk to the studio about it.”In an attempt to disperse this sudden gloom, I ask about his parents (now divorced). How do they respond to their only child’s controversial work? It turns out they’re pretty keen – but are basically just relieved he made it to college. “I visited my father’s office just before he retired” says Singer, grinning , “and I’d got a bit of fame by this point. The walls were completely bare except for a Xeroxed copy of my college diploma.”On top of everything else, it seems, Singer was a poor student.
But as he fills me in on this new area of disaster, I realise it’s not pity he’s after, but empathy. “The important thing to remember,” he says, smile widening, “is that I was a really annoying kid. I used to write these stories all the time and I remember being in a maths class when I was about seven. I had the audacity to go up to the teacher and ask her how to spell a word – I think it was catapult – and she spelt it instinctively, but then she was like, ‘hey, you’re supposed to be doing maths’”He’s warming to his theme. “Kids were always threatening to do me serious harm, but I once had a teacher threaten me, too My parents had to go up to the school about it”. He pauses for thought, then says “Actually, the whole thing reminded me of the scene between Todd and the teacher,” before quickly adding, “not that it was a sexual threat.” I’m a little confused – the teacher in Apt Pupil doesn’t ever make a sexual threat.
Or is Singer implying that he in turn threatened the teacher? I can’t get him to elaborate – which, in a sense, makes it the perfect Bryan Singer story: no good guys, no bad guys, just ambiguity and conflict.”I don’t remember the incident very well,” says Singer softly, “because I have this amazing ability to put bad things out of my head.” An amazing ability to put bad things out of his head and into his films I guess you might even call it a super power But I doubt if he would..

After three weeks of strictly local difficulties at the cinema – fishermen on the Atlantic, car thieves in LA, Marines in Yemen – it’s time to save the world again. From the apparently inexhaustible pages of Marvel Comics come no fewer than 10 original characters to fight over real issues such as good and evil, tolerance and tyranny, and the right to cause Force 10 gales in a built-up area. Bryan Singer’s X-Men takes its moral cue from the spirit of the original strip, which reflected the turmoil of the Civil Rights movement during the Sixties, but the film bases its style on the very latest advances in computer graphic imagery.A comic-strip fantasia with allegorical implications about the struggle for equality? Well, it sounds promising, and the movie sets up its conflict as an ominous face-off between two mutant leaders, played with ringing gravitas by Shakespearean stalwarts, Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen.Humankind can’t bear much reality, as we know, but really can’t stand mutants. It’s this hostility that has convinced Magneto (the McKellen character) that the only way to make the world safe for mutants is to annex humanity altogether – the doctrine of do unto others before they do it to you.

A few hands from the charter company came out and solved the crazy conundrum in minutes; they hauled up the anchor. Another charterer made the opposite mistake – he hauled up anchor and caught the line of another boat, sailing off into the sunset with a 36ft sloop in tow. Flapping and hollering from the hostage ship raised only a friendly wave and a shrug of shoulders.Still, without charterers, the real British Virgin Islands sailors would have very little to discuss.Whether on top of it, or underneath it, the great draw of the BVI is the sea. Diving is especially good around the wreck of the Royal Mail steamship Rhone, which went down in 1867 and is now preserved as an underwater national park.For those without a licence to dive, the snorkelling is just as magical.
Off “The Dogs” and Jost Van Dyke (an island named after a Dutch pirate), snorklers meet fish that look as if they were drawn by a wildly imaginative kindergarten student. Big and green with pink grins and blue tails, pale and grey with yellow racing stripes, or neon blue. At one serendipitous moment, we even chanced across a school of dolphins, intent on playing tag with the bow of our boat.For landlubbers the attractions are less interesting. The restaurants in the BVI are fairly expensive, but often quite ordinary. Some, like the hotel on Marina Cay, do good Caribbean specialities, and the newly built Saba Rock Resort has a fine rum punch.
At most places conch fritters are on the menu – rubbery chunks of sea food pulled from the interior of a conch shell, mashed with potato and fried. And as the BVI used to be the home of rum production for the British Navy, the old purser’s shop, “Pusser’s Company Stores”, still sells untold barrels of dark rum, and painted tin cups from which to drink it.Probably the best use of one’s time on land is to sit at a clubhouse and admire the boats in the harbour Ship names fall into a few simple categories. There are the mythical names: Pegasus, Avalon Sunset, Legend. The professional: Sailscall and Semi-colon (her owner is a proctologist and makes a living out of halving colons).
And the downright banal: Dreamwalker, Dreamchaser, Dreamcatcher, and any variation on dream you can imagine.The single must-see site is a large group of lava rocks on Virgin Gorda known as “The Baths”. Some as large as sailboats, they have been thrown together in a haphazard pattern that leaves enough room to sneak between and admire the sound of an echo. They are also the BVI’s most heavily attended tourist spot, with some 1,200 visitors a day, mainly from the sailor’s traditional enemy, the cruise ship.Tourism is booming on the islands, and with a new airport being built, and the cruise ship dock on Tortola expanding, local environmentalists and sailors are predicting the inevitable deflowering of the British Virgin Islands. So, in the spirit of the original Spanish explorers who discovered the BVI, we decide to head for the shimmering oasis known as Anegada.A long, slim stretch of sand to the far north of Tortola, Anegada is the only island among the BVI that was not spat out of a volcanic fit. It is all coral and limestone, uninterrupted beaches, flamingos and iguanas. All but the best sailors are forbidden to take a chartered boat to Anegada – as a mark of how difficult it is to arrive at the lonely reef, there are some 80 wrecks sunk off its coast.Here, the National Parks Trust is working to protect the natural environment against encroaching tourism.
The finding – which suggests (as so many other astronomical calculations do) that there is less matter around than predicted – could mean that theories about the formation of galaxies will have to be revised.
Astronomers have known for years that there are areas of the sky where optical telescopes cannot find any visible matter such as galaxies, gas or stars. Space really does consist of large amounts of nothing, according to a new set of results from the European Southern Observatory (ESO). An international team using telescopes in Chile, Europe, Australia and the US have discovered that there are voids up to 100 million light years across that contain no matter at all. How can evolution explain the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly?15. Why can’t scientists demonstrate evolution? It should be easy, if it is the grand mechanism that produced all natural things. It should be possible to prove its existence in a matter of weeks or days.
But even the simplest of experiments has not been able to document it – why not?16. Complex things require intelligent design – so what designed us?. How could the first plants survive without photosynthesis – a very complex process?12. How do you explain symbiotic relationships, where plants and animals need each other to survive?13. Why should natural selection start to make an eye or a wing (or anything else), if that would not benefit the animal until it was complete?14. Could an intermediate between one species and another survive, since it would not be ideally suited to its old environment or its new one?10.
How could reproduction evolve? And why should two sexes evolve so many times – wouldn’t asexual reproduction be more efficient?11. If evolution has been taking place for so long, shouldn’t there be many more transitional fossils between species? And why are the few examples shown by archaeologists intermediate in only one feature, rather than many?9. How could self-replicating life have emerged from dead chemicals?6. Cells require both DNA (the “plan”) and RNA (the “copier”), which are tremendously complex, to survive. What chance is there that both these co-dependent necessities came into existence at exactly the same time?7. Life is complex: how reasonable is it to believe that purely natural processes, with no designer, no intelligence, and no plan, produced humans?8. How could evolution have generated order from disorder in a closed system – the Universe?4.

Gibbs, the No 8 Emyr Lewis, lock Paul Arnold and the stand-off Arwel Thomas are perhaps the ones most likely to be under the selectors’ microscope.The coach, Kevin Bowring, is demanding a tightening up of the Welsh defence around the fringes.
“The Australians are hitting close from first phase, slamming stuff, and we have to physically deal with that or we will be in trouble,” he said.With just one Welsh win from four games, however, the odds are that Australia B will carry just too much firepower.. Tim Henman continued to demonstrate why he is regarded as Britain’s brightest hope when he produced a gallant performance to upset the No 16 seed, Javier Frana, and reach the second round of the Stella Artois grass-court championships yesterday. Frana is unusual in that he is an Argentinian who favours grass over clay. A committed serve and volleyer, he proved an ideal opponent for Henman to test himself against.
There was little to choose between their games, but Frana definitely had the edge in size and strength.
In the end that advantage was cancelled out by Henman’s resilience under pressure, and his ability to lift his game when he most needed to, rather than slump into defeat when the going got tough.Henman began by taking a 3-0 lead, was broken back in the fifth game and held a set point at 6- 5, which he lost when he hit a poor return. Frana took the tie-break and swiftly built a 3-0 lead in the second.Frana though had problems with his serve, and Henman took advantage. The Argentinian twice double-faulted to set up break points, and on both occasions Henman accepted his opportunity. In the final set Henman sneaked ahead 4-3, double-faulted to lose his serve, but kept his head, broke again and served out for the match.”I was anxious to perform well, and to perform well and win is a bonus,” Henman said. “When you’re 3-0 down in the second set you’ve got your back against the wall, but the chances I was having I knew I would take them eventually.” If Henman defeats the Russian Andrei Olhovskiy today, he will face Thomas Muster, the top seed and world No 2, in the third round.The Austrian won his first tournament match on grass when he beat France’s Guillaume Raoux 6-7, 7-5, 7-6 after two and a half hours “I really enjoyed playing. I have no pressure on this surface because nobody has any expectations of me,” Muster said.”It’s the low bounce that gives me a problem Nothing comes by instinct. As the fall-out from the Rugby Football Union’s decision to sign up with BSkyB came to earth yesterday, Cliff Brittle, the chairman of the executive, denied that he was going to call yet another special general meeting.
It may also be that Soueif’s Booker-nominated novel, written at the end of the last century, was following the trend of numerous publications last year for conjunction with its antecedent, the end of the 19th century.This device of past digressions has unfortunately granted Soueif’s story a familiarity that it never quite overcomes. Distant cousins, Egyptian Amal and American Isabel are descendants of the same noble Egyptian family, presided over by matriarch Zeinab al-Baroudi. Her son, Sharif, causes the upset in lineage when he marries English widow, Lady Anna Winterbourne in 1901. Isabel is Anna’s great-granddaughter, Amal her great-niece and together they uncover the past through Anna’s letters and private journals. Inevitably, they are closer to each other than they imagine as the two branches of the family criss-cross over each other through the century.As Anna struggles to adapt to another culture, similarly Isabel, in 1997, has much to learn, both of Egyptian politics, the part the British have played in its turbulent 20th-century history, as well as of Egyptian language, the roots of whose concepts of nationhood and religion lie in the maternal.
This is a tale dominated by women whose alternative histories fill in the gaps of the official one. Anna’s private story is the staple antedote to school-room versions of colonial conquest, Isabel’s enlightening by Amal a mirror-image of her great-grandmother’s experiences.The only problem is that this is so comfortably done, with no real sense of the disruption such an alternative view can bring. The one moment where it truly seems as if the past will intrude disastrously on the present is quietly defused, just as Anna’s break with her culture to marry Sharif invites no greater problem than the occasional mild social snubbing. The past is not a constant as Amal declares; it can be silenced or altered in an instant, or over the pages of a novel.. Location, location, location

Then he confesses, a little reluctantly, that in fact the origin is somewhat closer to home.”There’s a railway bridge at the end of an alley that I used to walk my daughter through to go to nursery school and it’s where she first discovered echoes, and so we came to know it as ‘Echo Bridge’.” Despite this, Colin Blunstone is determined the album should also be a bridge to the future. Already thinking about the follow-up, and toying with the idea of playing live again, he’s clearly settled on a direction he’s happy with.And with that, I realise, we’ve covered three decades in the career of one of the most extraordinary voices in British pop. And we never even left reception.n Echo Bridge is out now on Permanent Records.. 1 Rance Allen – “God is Wonderful” (1975)
2 Aaron Neville – “Mona Lisa” (1981)
3 Little Anthony & The Imperials – “Going Out of My Head” (1964)4 Prince – “Adore” (1987)5 The Beach Boys – “Surf’s Up” (1971)6 Ted Taylor – “I’m Gonna Hate Myself In The Morning” (1976)7 Smokey Robinson & The Miracles – “Ooh Baby Baby” (1965)8 Horace Andy – “Skylarking” (1970)9 The Stylistics – “Betcha By Golly Wow” (1972)10 Al Green – “Simply Beautiful” (1972). I like songs that are attractive to listen to, but have depth and different layers – songs that can be taken in many different ways.”So who figures large in the Blunstone songbook? “I’m a real song nut,” he admits, name-checking songwriters who span four decades: from Paul Williams and Jimmy Webb to Clifford T Ward, Nik Kershaw, Paddy McAloon (“a great writer. If blue is your favourite colour, you don’t usually know why.
“In the past, I’ve said that things happened to me, that I had made few decisions in the music business Now I want to change things around a bit. I want people to react to me.” So after three years in search of the right songs, and with voice entirely intact, comes Echo Bridge, his first album of new material for almost 15 years.”Once I get rolling on an album, I look for songs that appeal to me, songs that move me,” he says “I don’t ask why. And now, after feeling like a man out of time for much of the Eighties and Nineties, this is the long-awaited Blunstone re-launch. Where has Colin been?After the Zombies, he went to work in an office, as you do after making it to the top in the pop world – “hustly and bustly but very restful after the music business” – but was eventually lured back to the charts in 1969 with a re-recording of “She’s Not There”, this time as the short-lived Neil MacArthur Then there were the Seventies hits in his own name. This is the man whose high, tremulous voice registered those creamy solo hits “Say You Don’t Mind”, “I Don’t Believe in Miracles”, “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted”.
Nobody sang like Colin Blunstone, a rhythm and blues choirboy from St Albans.
He relaxes his fit-looking, casually clothed 50-year-old body onto a bench seat He speaks as he sings: softly, gently He breathes words. Still nobody is there to answer the phone, so we introduce ourselves, shake hands, and I’m thinking: “This is him.”
This is the man who sang “She’s Not There”, the song that established the Zombies the same month in 1964 that “She Loves You” entered the charts. Colin Blunstone pushes the door open cautiously, as if entering a church It’s not a church, though It’s the office of his record company. The phone is warbling and nobody is there to greet him except me, and I’m thinking: “Is this him?” He nods at me, averting his eyes, and stands for a moment, awkwardly tall and thin, unconsciously flattening his longish hair. “See how I add the last bit,” he giggles, “so none of you feel insecure.”The hotel muzak persists in the background It’s “The Girl from Ipanema” McAlmont starts singing along There’s more to this man than his voice, but what a voice McAlmont will be lucky if he makes it big So will we.. Leaning over, he shouts: “Isn’t this better than being at some crappy TV show?”We’re back at the hotel once more and McAlmont is drunk as a skunk He’s showing off to all the straight guys “Does anyone want to try my cherry.. lip salve?” he asks. “It’s a place to hide.”It’s 10.30pm and we’re off to see Massive Attack, friends of McAlmont’s He grooves quietly to himself at the back of the hall.
“I’ve had a bad life, I deserve to be beautiful.”He says he is happier now than ever before But he knows the mouth of Pandora’s Box is wide open. “There’s nothing more hopeless on this planet than a pop musician – stardom is a sickness.” Why does he want it then? He giggles drunkenly. “As a child I got shut out so much by men.”School sounds hell. “The boys hate you and if the girls want to demonstrate they’re grown women they go for McAlmont.” (I blink at this use of the third person – he’s oblivious.) “Everyone would stand round watching McAlmont get beaten up by a girl.” His voice is wobbling. Was McAlmont too camp, or not camp enough? As Freud might have said: “What does the world want?”McAlmont is dwelling on rejection.
The producer walks off, muttering: “Liked the other one – it had more kick.”We’re back in the hotel – McAlmont is sure he’s been pulled because of complaints from Ulster’s religious groups. Kern thinks they were cut because “Be Mine” was too downbeat. The producer thinks McAlmont is going to perform “You Do” – with strings. It’s out of the question: McAlmont can’t do the number without Butler. The nice PR man persuades the producer to listen to “Be Mine” McAlmont tumbles straight into song: “Don’t leave I won’t let you.”McAlmont finishes Silence.

In the end, their only real option has been to flee, with or without their children, to a women’s refuge. As a result, children suffer from disrupted schooling, lack of privacy and other problems associated with temporary accommodation.Thangam Debbonaire, the national chil-dren’s officer for the Women’s Aid Federation, has seen this all too often.
“When children come into a refuge with their mothers, they will have left behind their home and may have to leave their schools,”she said. “This will mean losing friends whom they will never see again. Other children will go with their mothers into temporary accommodation, which is often a cramped room in a bed-and- breakfast hotel with no facilities for children at all.”The new legislation is coming at a time when a Home Office-funded public education campaign is encouraging battered women to come forward, a sign that the Government is at last taking domestic violence seriously. Sandra Horley, director of Chiswick Family Rescue, a charity that runs a number of refuges in London, said: “The present legislation is a mishmash. The new orders would provide a streamlining of remedies currently available However, these are still civil remedies.
Some-one who has committed an assault has committed a criminal offence and police should make more use of their powers under criminal law.”8 The names of all the parents and children, apart from Sukina’s, have been changed.. A USEFUL gardening maxim goes like this: if you have trouble telling whether a plant is dead or alive, it isn’t worth growing. For non-devotees, that would rule out quite a lot of cacti. Even Terry Hewitt, one of the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable cactus experts, hesitated as, touring his show glass-house, we came across a brown mass of shrivelled foliage. How, I asked him, could he tell whether it was still in the land of the living?
“With difficulty,” he confessed. “It’s an aliocarpus and it’s supposed to look brown like that, but it does have a slight green tinge when it’s alive.
That one could be dead, but it’s quite rare and valuable so I’ll keep it for a while.”What, then, is the point of these often prickly and ungainly indoor plants? Their crude pet names are clues to their inherent lack of daintiness – Old Man Cactus, Living Granite, Rat’s Tail, Elephant’s Foot, Mother-in- law’s Seat. Even their botanic names tend to indelicacy: one variety is called gasteria because it is like a stomach; another, with blunt honesty, is named horrida.For Mr Hewitt, though, the merest hint of scepticism is hurtful. He explains the curious appeal of the cactus: “There’s an ever-increasing demand because they’re a very tolerant plant and easy to grow. Modern houses with central heating are death traps for most house plants. People can go away on holiday for six weeks and leave their cactus and it’ll be perfectly happy.”Well, yes, but the same is true of aspidistras and garden gnomes.
