Re: Best 'British' novel of the last 25 years poll

Otis Westinghouse wrote:'British' = UK, Ireland and Commonwealth! Article is worth the read and list is quite interesting.
Now I love the Guardian, but that is not on by any means. Irish people are not British... and it really pisses me off when people assume "it's all the same"...

I don't like seeing Spurs down there, more for Robbie's sake than anyone else's, and I wouldnt particularly like to see Dowie do that badly either as I rate him as a great manager... But time is ticking on, and it's come to the point of the season where the table is beginning to take some shape... s...

Chelsea and Villa should be excellent, if not for the football, for the meeting of O'Neill and Mourinho for the first time since THAT Uefa cup final! God I despise that José fella...

Hmm... I never thought of that approach at all. It at least explains why he hasn't been seen around here since the National Stadium gig a few years back. What was I thinking missing that? Honestly, Aidan. I'm surprised at the turnaround in his attitude towards here. I know he used to love it so much...

So great to see him back... his removal was a disgrace, really spoke volumes about Ana Leddy, the new controller of Radio 1. She's a bit ratings-obsessed, which is hardly a healthy attribute for someone given so much power in public service broadcasting. The station is dumbing down, and its future a...

It's going from a fan's perspective, and it's targeted at a young enough listenership... I'm going to try to make it an introduction to EC, to open him up to people who don't know much of his stuff apart from She, but I don't want to make it too on-the-surface either. I'll basically spend some time ...

Well it may be eco-friendly in comparison to air travel, but I think calling it an eco-bus is a step too far... think of how much fuel would be guzzled by running a TV, DVD, oven, and generally pulling the sheer weight of a bus like that...

wahey...

So I'll be writing, producing and presenting an hourlong radio special on Mr EC this December. It'll be aired across Dublin, but it will also be available online... I'm pretty delighted with this, can't wait to get cracking on it! I'm thinking of taking an approach centred around how his music devel...

that's an absolutely brilliant site, so it is. didn't it go down for a while about two years back as well? Fortunately back then I used only use it for its chords section, and sure that tends not to change too often anyway... if it did, i'd be a bit confused!
