The Road to Becoming a True Fan THE ROAD TO BECOMING A TRUE FAN I was walking next to hundreds of fans when I noticed the ‘White Hart Lane’ sign and realized just how privileged I was to be part of that game. When I went abroad to London, I told myself that I had to go out and engage in British cultural activities. In case you are wondering, that included regular pub outings with flatmates and friends, of course. On the other hand, some more unique opportunities also presented themselves. As a fan of soccer (which I will refer to as ‘football’, its proper spelling), I had casually followed the London-based team, Tottenham Hotspur, from the U.S. Being in London, I had to see for myself what the games were all about. After purchasing my first ticket online, I realized that I had to figure out how to get to White Hart Lane, Tottenham’s stadium. It turns out that there is only one train that gets to the stadium, which simplified things. Let’s face it, London is expensive enough that paying for a taxi never crossed my mind, plus the public transportation infrastructure is superb. The decision paid off; as soon as I boarded the train, I noticed there were many other Tottenham fans headed the same way. As we got closer, more fans got on, and we started singing team songs louder and louder. I was so ecstatic, and the game hadn’t even started. When I got to White Hart Lane, I noticed it wasn’t the most aesthetically pleasing building – it looked quite old and barely resembled a stadium. The inside, however, was the complete opposite. The moment I got inside, fans were singing songs, which did not stop until the end of the game. My seat happened to be located in the hardcore section of the stadium, where no one sits throughout the entire game, despite there being seats. Like everyone else, I immediately forgot there were seats as I sang my heart out throughout the game. The game itself was tense. Tottenham was tied for most of the game and it did not look like we would score a winning goal. Right at the end, at the 90th minute, one of our attackers put the ball in the back of the net to give us the victory. The entire stadium went absolutely crazy. http://alumni.ifsa-butler.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Tottenham-scores.mp4 My Tottenham adventures continued from then on. I took at least ten of my American friends from my study abroad program to show them what the British football culture was about. Everyone, including the non-football fans, really enjoyed the experience–some even begged me to take them back. Then there was the time when I traveled by car through England with fellow Tottenham fans to an away game. I had met a fellow Tottenham fan while waiting in the very long customs line at the London Stansted airport, where we bonded and got each other’s contact info. We both happened to be in Liverpool at the same time just as he and his Tottenham buddies were going to drive to Burnley, where Tottenham was set to play next. They were all nice enough to take me along. The experience was fantastic. While the game ended as a draw, I really enjoyed bonding with fellow Tottenham fans, being in a different atmosphere, and getting to see stunning rural and urban parts of England along the way. After that, I traveled back to London on my own, and it was totally worth the 12 hours it took to get back. While all the aforementioned experiences were great, there is one that truly stands out and will stay with me forever. I was lucky to be in London when Tottenham hosted its North London archrival, Arsenal. If I had been there during the fall, the game would have been at Arsenal’s stadium, not Tottenham’s. Given the opportunity, I desperately searched for a ticket to the game, but could not find one. I soon found out that only season-ticket holders could buy tickets for the game because of its rich history and incredible demand. Imagine if Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees season-ticket holders were the only ones allowed to purchase tickets for the games they faced each other! I was depressed for a few days, knowing I had the perfect opportunity to attend a once-in-a- lifetime game, yet I wasn’t able to do anything about it. I didn’t give up. I tried finding any way I could to get to that game, but I was losing hope. Then, a miracle by the name of Twitter came flying out of nowhere. It turns out that some fans sell their tickets via a Twitter account that is dedicated to posting fans’ tickets, at face value only. Unsurprisingly, all the tickets posted were bought within 1 of 2 THE ROAD TO BECOMING A TRUE FAN five minutes, so I had to be fast. I missed the chance for quite a few, but two days before the game I reacted quickly enough to a tweet and got my wish. I was filled with utter joy. I met the fan in central London and got his Tottenham season-pass card, as it was the only way I would get in; I meant it when I said it was it impossible to get in without it. On the way to the game, the intensity was more extreme than than I had experienced at any other game. We were shouting at Arsenal fans at the top of our lungs (and vice-versa) as we were walking towards the stadium. The police had massive horses to divide the fans and ensure they didn’t start fights. In British football, the opposing team is allotted a small section of the stadium; thankfully these small numbers of Arsenal fans did not look threatened – we just had fun bantering with them. As soon as I got inside, the nerves started to kick in. I realized that I had overcome all odds to be there, yet it could all be for nothing if we failed to score and lost the game. I was further unsettled by the fact that Arsenal scored first early in the game. I regained my composure, as did every other fan in the stadium, and we all cheered our team on. The Tottenham players were emotionally stirred too; they mounted an all-star effort and began dominating the game. Unfortunately, we were failing to score despite many opportunities as the game was nearing its end. That is, until our hero, Harry Kane, who grew through Tottenham’s youth system since age 11, scored from a corner to tie the game. Everyone went crazy. We wanted more. The whole stadium got to its feet with the anticipation that we could win the game in the few minutes we had left. The team once again had chance after chance to score, but it looked like the game was fated to end as a tie. Suddenly, a casual cross from near the halfway line finds our hero, Harry Kane, in between two Arsenal defenders. I can still see him in his white jersey, rising high above the two red giants, heading the ball with the most delicate of touches, sending it towards goal. What felt like the slowest second in my life was followed by one of the most euphoric moments I’ve ever experienced. The ball glided to the back of the net, and the whole stadium was elevated to cloud nine. I was thrilled; I hugged every fan around me. I couldn’t believe what I had just witnessed. Needless to say, I got countless selfies with fellow fans on my way home, by which time I had lost my voice from singing too much. The experience of going to Tottenham games was completely amazing and enrichening. I was converted as a fan and completely understand why Europeans prefer football over other sports we watch in America. Looking at the big picture, it all started with my desire to participate in a cultural activity that locals in my study abroad country took part in. Sure, it helped that I had an inclination for football and Tottenham going in, but in the end anyone out there can have as much fun as I did if they go out and dive into local culture. 2 of 2.

  • London in Focus – an Insight Into Our Work in This Iconic City and the Greater London Region
    ISSUE 3 - 2019 GRAHAM NEWS AND UPDATES FROM LONDON Introduction Welcome to the third edition of London in Focus – an insight into our work in this iconic city and the Greater London region It has been over two years since our last instalment of London in Focus. During the intervening period, we’ve witnessed a plethora of seismic events, from the vote in favour of leaving the European Union, to the election of Labour’s Sadiq Khan as London Mayor, a snap General Election and the tragedy at Grenfell. Nationally and globally, it has been an era of unprecedented political and economic upheaval. Naturally, investors, developers and public bodies continue to exhibit a degree of caution with regards to capital programmes, infrastructure schemes and routes to market. In terms of the broader health of our economy, construction is often viewed as an accurate barometer. Clearly the industry has slowed in comparison to the spikes of previous years, but the outlook, particularly in London, appears healthy, even optimistic. From our point of view, we’ve enjoyed sustained momentum within the city and the wider region. In parallel, we’ve grown considerably as a Group, recording an annual turnover of £767m for 2018, with a healthy cash balance sheet that puts us in a strong financial position. From the platform of our Old Jewry office, we have completed a range of stellar developments across the city, and its surrounding boroughs, while our order book for the next three years is full of high-profile, cutting edge schemes. Our portfolio features construction, refurbishment and estate rationalisation projects for a range of high-profile universities including UCL and the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, while we are currently upgrading QMUL’s School of Mathematical Sciences.

    The North London Joint Waste Strategy - SEA Draft, May 2008 - North London Joint Waste Strategy SEA Draft May 2008 North London Waste Authority Unit 169, Lee Valley Technopark Ashley Road Tottenham N17 9LN Page 1 The North London Joint Waste Strategy - SEA Draft, May 2008 - FOREWORD Managing North London’s Waste The seven North London boroughs and the North London Waste Authority have achieved much in recent years, through co-ordinated and targeted action on waste prevention, recycling and composting. Our services have never been better. This strategy will be the foundation of still greater improvements as we start to develop and implement the next generation of waste services that will treat waste as a resource and will minimise environmental impacts, particularly those which may contribute to climate change. Above all we will ensure a balanced approach, with value for money on behalf of local council tax payers being essential if waste is truly to be managed in the best interests of North London. This work, however, will need everyone to play their part – all residents, all businesses, all local groups and organisations, and all public services must work to minimise the amount of waste we produce and maximise the amount we recycle and compost. I hope very much you will join us in this endeavour.

  • Young People's Gatherings in the Urban Public Realm Enhancement
    Young People's Gatherings Ref 066 in the Urban Public Realm enhancement of or distraction from its liveability Reem Zako University College London, London, United Kingdom [email protected] Keywords spatial configuration; social structures; urban space; public realm; young people Abstract This paper focuses on where young people gather in the urban public realm, and the effect that this may have on the perceived liveability of an area. Gatherings of young people have become very topical in the UK in recent years, especially because of the way that the public perceives this activity as intimidating and potentially aggressive. This has resulted in much concern by the public and interest by the press about the consequential antisocial nature of these gatherings, leading to government debate and legislation to control the antisocial behaviour of young children and adolescents in public space. The study is based on a questionnaire/survey distributed to residents in twenty housing estates and residential developments in London's city fringe district of Clerkenwell. The aim of the study was to capture the residents' perceptions about the liveability of their locality through an assessment of twenty-four different types of criteria relating to the built environment, including the condition of the urban fabric, the effects of traffic, and the prevalence of anti-social activities and behaviour. The dominant factor affecting the perceived liveability of an area was found to be the extent to which the public realm was blighted by the threatening nature

  • Lexicography and Linguistic Creativity*
    http://lexikos.journals.ac.za Lexicography and Linguistic * Creativity Rosamund Moon, Department of English, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom ([email protected]) Abstract: Conventionally, dictionaries present information about institutionalized words, phrases, and senses of words; more creative formations and usages are generally ignored. Yet text and corpus data provide ample evidence of creativity in language, showing that it is part of ordi- nary linguistic behaviour and indeed often systematic. This article looks at four specific types of lexical creativity in English: figurative meaning, word formation, idioms, and spelling. Focusing on selected examples, it discusses corpus evidence and then treatment in (principally) three recent monolingual dictionaries for learners of English. It argues that, even taking into account the pedagogical function and limited scope of these diction- aries, more could be said about creative aspects of lexis, and the systematicity of creative usage. This would be of benefit and interest to dictionary users, and empower them. Keywords: AFFIXATION, CORPUS, CREATIVITY, DICTIONARY COVERAGE, ENGLISH, FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE, IDIOMS, LEXICOGRAPHY, NEOLOGISM, NORMATIVENESS, SPELLING, WORD FORMATION Opsomming: Leksikografie en taalkreatiwiteit. Normaalweg verskaf woordeboeke inligting oor geïnstitutionaliseerde woorde, frases en betekenisse van woorde; meer kreatiewe vor- minge en gebruike word gewoonlik geïgnoreer. Tog bied teks- en korpusgegewens volop bewyse van kreatiwiteit in taal, wat toon dat dit deel van gewone taalkundige gedrag is en inderdaad dikwels sistematies. Hierdie artikel beskou vier spesifieke soorte leksikale kreatiwiteit in Engels: figuurlike bete- kenis, woordvorming, idiome, en spelling. Deur op uitgesoekte voorbeelde te fokus, bespreek dit korpusbewyse en daarna behandeling in (hoofsaaklik) drie resente eentalige woordeboeke vir aanleerders van Engels.

  • 67 - County of London Sessions
    RESEARCH GUIDE 67 - County of London Sessions CONTENTS Introduction References and Catalogues Judicial Records Mental Deficiency Acts Licensing Records Indexes of records deposited with the Clerk of the Peace Parliamentary Deposited Plans Other copies of Parliamentary Deposited Plans Other Plans Highway Diversion and Stopping Up Orders Electrical Lighting Provisional Orders Introduction This research guide is a brief introduction to some of the more used series of records of the County of London Sessions. Until 1971 the Justices of the Peace for each county and many boroughs were responsible for holding Sessions of the Peace where criminal cases were tried before a jury. These were usually known as the Quarter Sessions because originally they were held four times a year, but in London they were held every month. More serious cases such as murder, rape, blasphemy, bigamy, libel, certain types of bribery and forgery, and offences under the Official Secrets Acts, were referred to the Central Criminal Court or outside London, to the assizes. The Justices also had other responsibilities including the confirmation of new licences granted to public houses, the stopping up and diversion of highways, and the registration and deposit of maps and documents for public record. The County of London was a new county which was formed in April 1889 from part of Middlesex north of the Thames and parts of Kent and Surrey south of the Thames. The Local Government Act 1888 which created the County of London also provided for a new court of quarter sessions which was given jurisdiction over the whole of the new administrative county except for the City of London which retained its own quarter sessions, the City of London Sessions, whose records are held by London Metropolitan Archives (CLA/047).
