After trying to conceive naturally for two years, Brian, 40, and Dani, 39, sought IVF treatment. Dani then fell pregnant twice, but tragically both pregnancies ended in miscarriage. In August, they told OK! they were “devastated”. Thankfully, after 17 months of IVF, the pair are happy to reveal they are now past that all-important three-month pregnancy mark. “We’re 15 weeks along now,” Brian says, while a thrilled Dani adds, “We’re due on 14 May. But they said normally with your first baby it can be early.” They also give credit to pals Mike Tindall and Zara Phillips for putting them in touch with a specialist nutrition expert who created a diet plan they believe helped them conceive. Brian already shares daughters Molly, 19, and Lilly, 17, with ex-wife Kerry Katona, while this will be former PE teacher Dani’s first. Here, the couple talk about their struggle to fall pregnant, and reveal Brian will be on tour on the baby’s due date… Huge congratulations you two! How does it feel to know you’re expecting? Dani: So strange. I don’t think I believed it until we had the scan. You have a scan at 12 weeks and we were away, so we went to a clinic in Dubai. After that I thought, “God, this is real!” Up until that point, because we’ve had two miscarriages before, I had that negativity still in my head that something could go wrong. It feels wonderful now. Brian: I feel the same. I’ve been so positive that we’ve given ourselves the best chance of falling pregnant, by changing our diet and lifestyle. Something was just telling me it was going to happen this time and I felt really confident. But it wasn’t until we saw the 3D scan of the baby and actually saw it moving that it felt real. You’ve been through the ringer to get here. Does it feel like a miracle? Dani: It does, but I feel awful saying that, as I’ve had so many messages on Instagram. The IVF community is so lovely and I’ve heard real traumatic stories from people who have been trying for 10 years, people who have Molly and Lilly are thrilled for the pair 6 DANI WEARS DRESS BY ARIACOVE.COM. BRIAN ALL ISAWITFIRST.COM WWW.OK.CO.UK 7 8 had eight-plus miscarriages, so I feel we got lucky on our third attempt. When did you both find out the good news? Brian: It’s two weeks after the implant that you can do your pregnancy test, but we did it a day early. We couldn’t wait – it was like Christmas morning! We’d gone to bed the night before really excited because we wanted to do it first thing. Dani went and did it and then came back out with it in her hand and she’d peeked before me. Dani: I couldn’t resist! I wanted to surprise him. I was so nervous. I wanted to see if the news was positive and then tell him! Brian: We haven’t told many people, only our parents. Did you feel you’d told too many people the last time you fell pregnant? Brian: Yeah. We were trying to keep a lid on it this time and keep our expectations to a minimum. Dani: That took the pressure off me a little bit. The first time when we told everyone, people would text me asking how I was getting on. I didn’t have any of that this time and that was a bit of a relief. It can be a stressful process… Dani: Exactly, and I don’t think you realise how stressed you are. Inside you feel like you’re OK, but deep down you do have worries in the back of your mind and that does raise your anxiety levels. So anything you can do to minimise other stresses has always got to be a helpful thing. Will you find out the gender? Dani: We want to. I can’t wait! I have a scan at 20 weeks next and that’s when they’ll be able to say if it’s a girl or a boy. What’s pregnancy been like so far? Dani: I’ve been quite lucky. I haven’t had any sickness, but I did have an aversion to certain things. I went off coffee completely. At dinner I’ve struggled to eat anything like chicken or fish. I’ve been attracted to very plain stuff and unfortunately that’s been stuff like crisps and chips. I was really tired the first 12 weeks. I had no motivation to do anything. Then we went DANI WEARS DRESS BY RIVER ISLAND. BRIAN ALL ISAWITFIRST.COM WWW.OK.CO.UK 9 away in the sun and that helped my mood a lot. With lockdown as well, you start getting a bit flat and because I felt tired all the time I was feeling really low. After 12 weeks I got a burst of energy back and I feel like myself. I’ve got my mojo back. Brian, did you take care of Dani? Brian: Of course, absolutely. I had to do a couple of midnight trips to the petrol station to get crisps and chocolate when she was getting her cravings. The worrying thing is for the last eight weeks of her pregnancy I’ll be back on tour all around the UK, so it’s going to be quite a tense time, because I could literally have to dash off stage in the middle of the show and come home. Luckily, most of the gigs are around two hours from home, so I can be home before labour kicks in properly, but there are a couple that could be a mad four-hour dash.

Toulouse School of Graduate Studies LaCoco, Kimberly. British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s Decision to Go to War in Iraq: An Evaluation of Motivating Factors. Master of Science (History), May 2009, 136 pp., bibliography, 120 titles. Blair sent British troops to join U.S. forces in the invasion of Iraq in 2003 at great political cost to himself. What motivated him to take this step? Sources for this work include: autobiographies and biographies of individuals close to Blair; journal and newspaper articles and monographs on this topic; Prime Minister’s speeches and press conferences. Part one is comprised of five chapters including the Introduction; Blair’s years at school; Blair’s early political career; and From Parliament to Prime Minister. Part two includes four chapters that analyze motivating factors such as, Anglo-American Relations; Blair’s personality, faith, and his relationship with Gordon Brown; and finally, Blair’s perception of Britain’s Manifest Destiny. All of these factors played a role in Blair’s decision.

  • A Barking Dog?: Manchester Writing and English Regional Culture
    A Barking Dog?: Manchester Writing and English Regional Culture Stephen Hardy Masaryk University, Brno The aim of this paper is to present a small contribution to the poetics and cultural politics of place both in Britain and in the broader context. The work of the American poet Charles Olson has provided both poetry and issues of place with renewed significance but his work, like that of his most obvious forerunner, William Blake, tends towards a form of tendentious obscurity which limits its audience to a relatively tiny minority. In the field of poetry this tendency has been intensified by followers of Olson’s approach, such as J. H. Prynne and Allen Fisher, to name two of the most eminent examples. A rather more accessible form of development has appeared in the London novels of writers such as Iain Sinclair, Michael Moorcock, and Peter Ackroyd who manage to dramatise the specificity of London places in ways partly comparable to Olson. Many of the British writers, particularly the novelists, adopt a less directly antagonistic stance towards the depredations of global capital, though elements of such a position are still clearly identifiable. Here, though, I wish to make a further link between British writing of a more widely accessible nature and the work of writers such as Olson by briefly examining some aspects of both the development of Manchester as a late twentieth century post- industrial city-region and some of the detective fiction which has accompanied and represented that development. My intention is to suggest that connections need to be made between various forms of place and their written and other forms of representation in order to develop more equably differentiated forms of social space at regional and other levels, both in Britain and beyond.

  • Has the World Changed Or Have I Changed? the Smiths and the Challenge of Thatcherism
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Birkbeck Institutional Research Online Has The World Changed Or Have I Changed? The Smiths and the Challenge of Thatcherism Joseph Brooker Welcome me, if you will, as the ambassador for a hatred who knows its cause Frank O’Hara, ‘For James Dean’1 - What’s frightened you? Have you been reading the newspapers? Shelagh Delaney, A Taste of Honey2 The Smiths’ recording career roughly corresponded to Margaret Thatcher’s second term in office. ‘Hand In Glove’ was released a month before 1983’s General Election. Strangeways, Here We Come appeared four months into Thatcher’s third term. Such facts can be suggestive. But they do not necessarily signify substantial connections. In an important sense, The Smiths’ career had little to do with contemporary political events. When Johnny Marr remembers the band he talks most intensely not of society at large but of ‘the feeling of being in the studio at half-two in the morning when two chords suddenly crash into each other’.3 What were The Smiths trying to achieve? Musical greatness; a living; fame and adulation, to be sure. But, more than most artists, they also sought political confrontation and significance. ‘Times are desperate’, Morrissey announced in 1984.4 What he meant by that, and what he tried to do about it, are this essay’s quarry. The Thatcher Syndrome The 1980s in Britain were politically dominated by Thatcher’s three Conservative administrations, elected in 1979, 1983 and 1987. Thatcher was unusually driven and controversial – a ‘conviction politician’ determined to change the fabric of Britain.
