There are many reasons it is so good: it is thorough, well planned (as it should be, they’ve been teaching fishing for 60 years) and lasts four days which is just about right. Fly fishing is very active, coarse fishing is what you see those solitary fishermen doing on the sides of canals – where [...]

It’s trying to show how the world is but coming in close coming in tight showing it in a different way

“It’s trying to show how the world is, but coming in close, coming in tight, showing it in a different way … Here is more of the same, in garish saturated colour: a sort of pictorial archive of pink-iced piglet cakes, varnished toenails, dogs in sunglasses, more varnished nails, sticky red lips, chips, boobs, beach [...]

Although it is cooked like a starchy grain, it is actually the hard seed of a lovely plant with pink flowers and reddish, heart-shaped leaves. Bison-grass vodka is the nation’s favourite, way ahead of chilli, caraway seed, rye, prune, blackcurrant, dogwood berry, and [...]

In any given band there are rarely more than two members if any who have the talent

In any given band there are rarely more than two members, if any, who have the talent to do more than go down the pub or score some dope on their own (frequently they can’t even do that). So their projects most often consist of scrabbling around the dowdier end of the music business for [...]

Within reason, if you’re willing to forgo some of life’s little luxuries, you can assemble a full production and editing suite in your own bedsit. You do not necessarily require expensive actors, stage sets or even cameras, and the finished film is of broadcast quality.
This accessibility of technology is attracting people from “non-traditional” film backgrounds. [...]

The profits themselves were only pounds 700000 in 1997 and are up to pounds 9m now

The profits themselves were only pounds 700,000 in 1997, and are up to pounds 9m now. The growth is impressive, but, business analysts say, the profits are ludicrously small when compared with the cultural impact of the Teletubbies worldwide.Think about it, they say. The Teletubbies are famous in 22 countries and have been translated into [...]
