Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Blind Date by Ilse Spall Your View Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Blind date by Ilse Spall Your view. I was pleased to see opposing points of view regarding alternative therapies in your doctors feature. This interesting and informative read is a good reminder that one doctor's opinion is not gospel. Ebonee Gregory Bromley. Max Pemberton is right about the need to ensure that counsellors are properly trained and qualified, but it's not true to suggest that only those working in the NHS are trained to a high standard. Many graduates of courses we accredit go on to work in the NHS, but many do not. There is no difference in their training. Gary Fereday Chief executive, British Psychoanalytic Council, London N19. Multiple symptoms are not a "sure" sign of hypochondria, as doctors with a basic acquaintance with the protean manifestations of autoimmune diseases should know. But thanks for explaining why it's taken more than five years for me to get a diagnosis. Name and address withheld. I chose not to let my asthmatic daughter have the flu jab for the same reason as Stephen Leslie, and was made to feel a useless mother for it by the medical profession. She is now 17 and applying to medical school. I wonder what her view will be after five years of training. Deborah Carson Rochester, Kent. I was appalled to see you publicise the well-known YouTube/Oprah case of Jani Schofield and so contribute to the violation of this child's rights. In printing an extract from her father's book, you also feed into the myths and stereotypes surrounding symptoms of this disorder. Did it not occur to you to point out that many of Jani's behaviours may stem from the cocktail of powerful drugs and constant (negative) attention she has received from an early age? Mary Burgess Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Decca Aitkenhead says chemical castration has "been practised all over the world for more than 50 years", but omits to mention that, in the early days, it was used to "treat" homosexuality, most notably in the case of computing pioneer Alan Turing, who suffered many of the side-effects highlighted in the article. Neil Macehiter Cambridge. A cold, dark January weekend was really brightened by the piece on chemical castration followed by one on child onset schizophrenia. Thanks for that ray of sunshine. Roll on spring. Christopher Aird Glasgow. I'm a happily married, heterosexual, Labour-supporting, Guardian-reading, cricket-watching family man aged 67. May I please have a blind date with Rafe Spall? Failing which, Sue Johnston? Ross Jones Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey. Sue Johnston sealed it for me with Pride And Prejudice as her favourite book. I live in hope of a Mr Darcy taking me away from a life of disappointment. I shall never give up. Name and address supplied. Please cast the net more widely for Blind Date. How about "scaffolder meets hairdresser"? Just send a reporter up here on a Friday or Saturday evening and wander round the pubs – the promise of a free meal and drinks will be enough incentive, but a bodyguard might be advisable. Reporter meets bouncer? Kelvin Appleton Beverley, East Yorkshire. Thanks to Ben Miller for explaining light years, which I now realise I never properly understood. I shall now look at the stars with different eyes. Linda Jones Southampton. The London Fiver – Five London Romantic Comedies. In troubling and lonely times, a good romantic comedy can help you feel better about life. London has been the setting of dozens of romantic comedy films over the years, and we have covered some others in the past. If you’ve already gotten through the previous ten, have a look at these five romantic comedies set in one of the world’s biggest cities. Each of these films presents a different relationship that is full of love and laughter. If you think there is something that we might have left off, you can share that film with us in the comments. Man Up. This 2015 StudioCanal film features Lake Bell as a single woman in her 30s who gets confused for 40s divorcee Simon Pegg’s blind date. Their fake relationship eventually gives way to a real one but is threatened when the real blind date shows up. London’s Waterloo Station provides the real kick-off to the plot where Bell’s Nancy first meets Pegg’s Jack. Other places appearing in the movie include Southbank, Bloomsbury Lanes bowling, and the Golden Jubilee Bridges. I Give It a Year. When Nat (Rose Byrne) and Josh (Rafe Spall) decide to get married seven months after they met at a party, no one thinks it’s going to work. Not long after, the realities and issues of being married hit them in hilarious ways, and they make some surprising realizations about their future. St. Pancras Station, Spice of Life in Soho, and numerous London streets appear throughout the film. Wrotham Park is the location for Nat and Josh’s wedding reception at the beginning of the film. Besides Byrne and Spall, the movie also features Anna Faris, Olivia Colman, Stephen Merchant, Minnie Driver, Jason Flemyng, and Simon Baker. Imagine Me & You. And speaking of couples that may not be right for each other, imagine meeting the love of your life on your wedding day. Piper Perabo plays Rachel, who meets florist Luce (Lena Headey) on her wedding day to Hector (Matthew Goode). As the attraction grows between Rachel and Luce, the rift grows between Rachel and Hector, though things end well for everyone involved with plenty of witty dialogue throughout. As for locations, Hector works in the Riverside office building with a view of Tower Bridge, Luce’s flower shop can be found at 38 Chalcot Road, and the site of Rachel and Hector’s wedding at the beginning is All Saints’ Putney. Last Chance Harvey. Featuring Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson as Harvey Shine and Kate Walker, Last Chance Harvey finds American divorcee Harvey meets statistician Kate on his way to his daughter’s wedding in London, an event he’s been all-but-excluded from by his ex-wife. He meets up again with Kate later, and their conversation turns into a burgeoning relationship. Harvey’s daughter’s reception takes place at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Heathrow Airport is where Harvey and Kate first meet, and their relationship grows in many beautiful parts of the city such as Maida Vale and South Bank. Four Weddings and a Funeral. The movie that put Hugh Grant on the map as a star and made Richard Curtis famous as a rom-com writer, Four Weddings and a Funeral sees Grant’s Charles attending all of his friends’ weddings while still searching for his own love. At each wedding, he keeps running into Carrie (Andie McDowell) and the two eventually fall in love. The events of the film feature several London locations including St. Bartholomew the Great Church, the Old Royal Naval College Chapel, and the National Film Theater in South Bank. Charles’s flat can be found at 22 Highbury Terrace in Highbury Fields. Share this: About John Rabon. John is a regular writer for Anglotopia and its sister websites. He is currently engaged in finding a way to move books slightly to the left without the embarrassment of being walked in on by Eddie Izzard.
