| | | my activity | Elspethr started a new discussion called Do you enjoy radio plays? in listener. 4 weeks ago
I have started to listen. I have Radio 4 Womens' Hour on now, about a Glaswegian woman journalist in the 1980s. I don't find radio easy to listen to - I find the voices annoying. I think it's to dowith English accents. This one's scottish and it's much better, and more natural. I am English but I don't like that gittish posh southern accent which sounds so false in theatre and radio, or the lis... |

I saw Educating Agnes by Liz Lochhead by a local theatre co. I would like to go more often. this week there were three plays I wanted to see in one week - there were also David Harrower's Blackbird and Rain Man. I enjoy only serious drama, though I used to like alternative ballet.
Let me know what you see an dhow often you go. |

They are in UK next week. Last week, they announced their intention to split next year, on their 25th anniversary. I am gutted! they have continued to make albums since them (epxcet a plit in the 1990s when they did solo work). Their lastest was released in the summer. |

The last novel I read was The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. I didn't like it all but the talent of the writer is very evident. Have you seen the film of My Sister's Keeper? It ends differently. I am enjoying reading plays, and I have just purchased Doubt by John Patrick Shanley - it is masterful. I am also reading David Hare's early palys - the man who wrte the screenplay for the Reader.
Don't g... |
 | Elspethr responded to a discussion called Does Halloween Make You Uncomfortable? in religion. 3 weeks ago
I share your discomfort with Halloween though not exactly your faith.
I also posted a qu on this - asking if it is something we should be celebrating. I don't open my door to unsolicited callers on Halloween, and it makes me angry that who's knocking or being on the street that night can be a concern.
Finding the balance of not ruffling feathers is hard, when you don't agree with something. I... |
 | Elspethr responded to a discussion called Which do you prefer? in reading. 2 weeks ago
E books endanger the book trade - publishers and booksellers and authoirs. When any form of media is availble for free on the net, it damages that industry.
It means people's livelihoods and ability to express is being curtailed.
E books are not more environmental. You can plant more trees. Often people pirnt off their e books which must cost as much as buying one - and then it isn't bound - ... |
