SALAMI CIARAN LAVERY Anderson Yes thank you, thank you both of you, I’m not sure which is worse, baffling, shocking or pleasant. But hello and welcome anyway to the first Loose Ends of 2017, as we go forward into the New Year in a spirit of hope and optimism. Things can only get better – or to put it another way - things can scarcely get any worse. Though with Donald Trump just about to become leader of the free world, Boris Johnson already in post as Britain’s top diplomat and Jeremy Corbyn continuing to be leader of the opposition, who can be sure? But we crack on here with a studio-full of top line guests, even more smartly dressed than shoppers in a Tesco superstore, including the comedian and actor Hugh Dennis, star of Radio 4’s the Now Show, BBC 2’s Mock the Week and these days virtually every comedy drama broadcast on the TV, here to tell us about the programmes and the Lord of Misrule, which you’ve just been hearing from, which have taken charge of Radio 4 today. And the award winning comedian and Lady of Misrule, Bridget Christie, here because you demanded it, or at any rate to tell us about her stand up show called Because You Demanded It, which was one of the benefits of Brexit unpredicted by the so called experts.

  • Scrutinised Long Manifestos - Tt20 (2Nd Election)
    SCRUTINISED LONG MANIFESTOS - TT20 (2ND ELECTION) CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT-ELECT Amy Gregg (Ex-Treasurer, Exeter College ) - Candidate for President-Elect - Long Manifesto The Union has had significant setbacks in the last few years. I did not intend to run this term, but it is clear that the Union needs a President who has the experience and the capability to set it back on the right course. The Union can do so much better, and the Union must do so much better. As an undergraduate, I was President of the Cambridge Union. During this time I ran a record-setting membership drive, managed a £100,000 budget, and hosted over thirty speakers including Stephen Fry, Quentin Blake and Moazzam Begg. After leaving Cambridge I was a trainee solicitor at a Magic Circle Law firm, and I now hold an offer for a pupillage to be a barrister. I have real world experience which I can use to improve our Union as well. I previously served on committee for 7 terms. In this time I arranged 5 debates, including confirming 5/6 speakers for the Comedy debate. I ran Debates, Panels and Speaker events, confirmed multiple speakers and chaired the Union’s largest committee. I also spent over 50 days of vacation working for the Union and made 3 winning paper speeches. As Treasurer I secured 29 debate Floor Prizes, 12 New Treasurer’s Treats and coordinated sponsorship from a major Scholarship fund - ensuring transparency by publishing the audited accounts on the app. This demonstrates that I have the ability to run the Union, but it also made me realise: the Union needs real change - change only an experienced President can bring.

Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Arts › Features Reviews Books Review: Punt and Dennis – Ploughing on Regardless Hilarious radio duo Hugh Dennis and Steve Punt take to stage as Katy Sandalls reviews Monday 17 February 2014 Photo courtesy of Punt and Dennis ★★★★☆ As a perennial fan of Hugh Dennis and Steve Punt’s inputs on the BBC Radio 4 programme The Now Show, the prospect of seeing them live on stage promised to be a treat – and it didn’t disappoint. Indeed, sat in the majestic setting of the York Grand Opera House, at times it felt like I was at a recording of the radio show with Punt producing his usual masterful set ups for Dennis to later pick up and run with. And run he did, with topics ranging from the TV listings experience to our obsession with the snow the show touched upon every possible avenue. One thing that did come across, lost to a radio audience, was Dennis’ mastery of visual comedy. A particular favourite being his take on the giving out of buns in Denmark to celebrate the signing of the treaty of Rome. That was the first and probably the last time I will see a man old enough to be my father walk in circles around a stage with the flap of jacket lifted up showing the audience his “beautiful buns”. Punt’s earlier cynical comment really summed this up well; the pair are indeed “wasted on the radio”.

AN END-TIMES DEBATE AT OXFORD Tom's Perspectives by Thomas Ice In August, 2008 I received an e-mail from the Oxford Union Society in England wanting to know if I would participate in a debate concerning the following motion: “This house believes the end is nigh.” After consulting with some friends and colleagues, I accepted the invitation and the event was scheduled for Friday, November 21, 2008. I subsequently journeyed across the pond and attended this event hoping to provide some testimony for the cause of Christ. Thus, I am providing a report of my trip to such a prestigious environment. OXFORD Oxford is the oldest university in the English-speaking world and the second oldest in the world, next to the University of Paris.1 The name of the university is the same as the town in which it resides. Oxford is about 60 miles northwest of London. It is hard to pin down an exact date for the founding of Oxford, but it is known to have sprang- up in the late 1100s.2 Oxford, like most European Universities, began when different colleges began to be established in the town.

  • Housemaster/Housemistress Senior School House
    CANDIDATE BRIEF HOUSEMASTER/HOUSEMISTRESS SENIOR SCHOOL HOUSE LETTER FROM THE HEADMASTER Dear Applicant, Having moved to Warminster with my wife and family relatively recently, I can speak from the heart about the warmth of welcome offered by the School community and indeed within the town of Warminster. In terms of location we are offered the best of both worlds with an ancient market town just five minutes’ walk away, but with the beautiful Longleat forest and estate within easy cycling distance. The town lies on the western edge of Salisbury Plain with some wonderful walking, and beautiful Wiltshire villages nearby. We are a 30-minute train ride from the historic Georgian city of Bath; Salisbury and its stunning cathedral is 20 minutes in the other direction. The School itself is simply one of the warmest and strongest communities I have known during my teaching career. It really is a friendly, supportive, yet invigorating place to live and work. The School's 60 acres give a sense of space and our beautiful buildings, some dating back to the early 1700s, give us a sense of tradition and permanence. We are a school steeped in history, but one that is not afraid to innovate and take risks. We transmit this to our pupils and staff who are encouraged to try new things, push out of their comfort zones and embrace failures as the best way to achieve success. Staff morale is high and there is a shared sense of purpose which is energising. We have an excellent staff development programme ensuring that colleagues are stimulated to keep growing as professionals.

It should be redeveloped for high quality housing. This will respond to a critical need in South Liverpool. Housing use will enable the beneficial use of the listed building and redevelopment of City Campus (LJMU) the remainder of the site provides an opportunity to deliver high quality apartment development alongside large family housing, including 4 and 5 bedroom properties with gardens. The IM Marsh Campus comprises various university buildings, that range in age and quality, and three sports pitches. The buildings on the Site will be surplus to academic requirements, following the planned transfer of faculties to the Copperas Hill site in the City Centre. The buildings are relatively low quality both visually and physically, apart from two historic buildings. The previously developed land on the Site represents c.50% of the total Site area. The remaining Site area comprises sports pitches which LJMU are currently developing a strategy to relocate near to the City Centre Campus. These planned improvements are part of LJMU’s wider vision to deliver a walkable campus within Liverpool City Centre.
