ST:ART: Heard the one about the Painter and the Pistol?
http://stokeart.blogspot.com/2011/06/heard-one-about-painter-and-pistol.html
Culture, Comment, Features. Monday, 27 June 2011. Heard the one about the Painter and the Pistol? Hidden Paintings of the West Midlands. Once upon a time we knew what to expect from the BBC. While entertainment naturally dominates the schedule there's always been a place for programmes in which someone who gives the impression they know what they're talking about leads the viewer on an educational journey. Sadly these programmes are becoming a rarity. Here things began to get interesting - particularly f...

Culture, Comment, Features. Saturday, 28 August 2010. Existence Beyond the Guildhall: The Last Night of Punk. Do you remember where you were when you heard Michael Jackson had died? How about Princess Diana? My mother remembers hearing that Kennedy had been shot while she was doing the ironing. In his excellent history of London music. Indeed at one of their occasional get togethers the group took to the stage to the sound of Vera Lynn's. There'll Always be an England. And, as Du Noyer notes, it appeared...

Culture, Comment, Features. Friday, 1 October 2010. Why a Coalition is Required. So I've signed the petitions and I've pledged my support although I must confess I haven't added a 'twibbon' to my Twitter avatar as yet. Should the campaign against government funding cuts fail will this lack of commitment on my behalf amount to a contributing factor in that defeat? Are they clever art jokes for an in-house magazine or are they the standards behind which a movement is mobilizing? It is essential therefore t...

Sue's Blog: Which character are you?
http://smjl123.blogspot.com/2011/09/which-character-are-you.html
Wednesday, 14 September 2011. Which character are you? Good morning dear reader, I hope you are well. Do you ever find yourself identifying with characters in books? I’ve empathazised with some very strange characters at times. When I was working I felt like Boxer from. Boxer’s fate still has the capacity to reduce me to tears when I re read it. Unlike poor Boxer, I’ve escaped and I’m off to pastures new. When I left my husband my Aunt gave me a copy of. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Posted by Sue's Blog.

Sue's Blog: Obesity
http://smjl123.blogspot.com/2011/08/obesity.html
Saturday, 27 August 2011. We now have abundance and easy access to tasty food in mammoth quantities. The result is that we have become a nation of gluttons, encouraged by the food industry and supermarkets. If people were suffering rationing now there would not be an obesity epidemic – so it is all down to availability and portions sizes. Smaller plates and bowls might help. What do you think – should people be allowed to get fatter and fatter? Is obesity a matter of our own personal responsibility?

Sue's Blog: Endings
http://smjl123.blogspot.com/2011/09/endings.html
Tuesday, 13 September 2011. Yesterday was a full moon – a time of endings. A group of us met in our university coffee shop. It felt like it would be the last time we would all be there together. It was strange and sad to see the freshers clutching their welcome packs and getting their photos and computer passwords sorted out. We felt like unwanted old chicks tossed out of the nest to make way for the new ones. Posted by Sue's Blog. 13 September 2011 at 12:20. Good suggestion - thanks for that. Sorry, Eng...

Wednesday, 7 September 2011. It was my graduation yesterday and it was one of the happiest days of my life. My family came to watch my two minutes of fame and my short-lived career on the stage. I was very lucky to study at Wolverhampton University and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is the most student- friendly and nurturing university in the UK and has the best and most inspiring lecturers. Posted by Sue's Blog. We shall definitely miss you.
