Focussing on the production scandal of The Keeler Affair, a feature film that figured prominently in contemporary coverage of the scandal but which has been largely overlooked since, the article shows that this film emerged from a situation in which cultural entrepreneurs, many of them associated with the satire boom, sought to exploit the scandal for financial gain.

  • Lady Thatcher Celebrated Her 80Th Birthday Last
    LADY THATCHER CELEBRATED HER 80TH BIRTHDAY LAST NIGHT WITH 650 GUESTS Andrew Pierce reports The Times Friday, October 14, 2005 BARONESS THATCHER had the perfect excuse to be a little late last night for her 80th birthday party in the presence of the Queen, Tony Blair and some unlikely names from the show-business world. She was delayed by an unexpected telephone call from President Bush wishing her a happy birthday. The ten- minute call from the White House was the latest in a series of tributes that poured in from around the world. It marked yet another highlight in the life of a woman who still casts a huge shadow over the Conservative Party. The red carpet was rolled out for Lady Thatcher, who was dressed in a navy blue cocktail coat and silk chiffon dress designed by Camilla Milton. Lady Thatcher, who looked frail, made no public comment as a crowd of wellwishers lined the streets to catch a glimpse of Britain's first woman Prime Minister. The 650-strong guest list was a roll call of honour from the 1980s Thatcher heyday. Michael Portillo, who was once seen as her anointed heir, made a surprise appearance. He said: "She was influential in her day but not now." But the former Prime Minister also sprinkled the list with some surprise names from both sides of the political divide. The Queen, in a shimmering silver dress, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Prime Minister were the principal guests at the drinks party in the gold-embossed ballroom of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Hyde Park, in Knightsbridge.

    Seán Bán Mac Grianna and ‘Christine Keeler’ LILLIS Ó LAOIRE ABSTRACT No abstract. Volume 37, pp 174-182 | ISSN 2052-3629 | http://journals.ed.ac.uk/ScottishStudies DOI: 10.2218/ss.v37i0.1807 http://dx.doi.org/10.2218/ss.37i0.1807 Seán Bán Mac Grianna and ‘Christine Keeler’ LILLIS Ó LAOIRE The locally-based poet who composes on traditional themes is, or was, a fairly widespread phenomenon in Gaelic communities on both sides of Sruth na Maoile. In Scotland such a poet is often called a bàrd baile. Although some women made songs in this tradition (Neat & MacInnes 1999), these poets were mostly male, like their Irish counterparts. These poets made songs that encompassed a wide range of topics, some intimately local, others dealing with more prominent national or international events. In Ireland, by 1993, in excess of a hundred songs had been made in the Connemara Gaeltacht by over forty poets (Ó Conghaile 1993: 7–10), and the tide of song shows no sign of ebbing. Themes could include ‘homeland, war, love, local and national events, new technology, religion, philosophy, humour and songs relating to individual members of the community’ (Kidd 2006: 174). Despite this range, however, ‘poetry derived from the verse tradition of the past’(ibid.) has often been considered narrow in scope and limited by traditional conventions. Such views were advanced by those wishing to access more contemporary, up-to-date and modern genres as found in English and other languages more influenced by print culture (MacAulay 1976: 46). The term bàrd baile is problematic, as it suggests that such poets’ views of the world are confined, limited and consequently inferior.

  • Mews Newsno.3 May 2003 News of the Mews from Lurot Brand - the London Mews Company
    Mews NewsNo.3 May 2003 News of the mews from Lurot Brand - The London Mews Company. The only estate agency specialising in the sale and rental of mews properties. ANOTHER SMART MOVE FOR LUROT BRAND In 1999 the trend for estate agents to use cars for publicity went into top gear after we imported one of the first of the now-familiar Smart city cars to London.The cute little car created enormous interest and became an instantly recognised symbol of the company as it buzzed around town. Now we are in pole position again. Having put down an order at last year’s Paris Motor Show, Oliver Lurot and Nick Salmon collected the latest addition to the firm’s fleet from France on April 11th and so became the first UK owners of Smart’s new sports coupe. In fact the car was the first of its type to leave the dealer in Paris and was appropriately toasted in champagne. It is not officially launched here until September though a few left hand drive models may be available from June. "We gained enormous recognition with our early Smart cars and this new Roadster is totally in keeping with our image,” said Oliver.“ It really stands out in the crowd.” Nick added:“ It's a sophisticated, intelligent design, beautifully put together. Rather like some of our mews houses!" BUY NOW - OR RISK LOSING OUT. TAKE UP OUR OFFER... In the January issue we said: “The mews market property will sell but it will be at a realistic price. We receive enquiries from all over the world from is active but buyers are being very choosy and an Buyers know they have time to make a decision people wanting to buy or rent a mews house in London but unlike most estate agents who deal only in the over-optimistic price will put them off even but they also have to be aware that waiting for immediate area round their offices, we cover all of bothering to look.” prices to fall may not be sensible.
