  Sexton’s article header, “How Can Anyone Who Loves Music Enjoy Musicals?”, is clearly a rhetorical question, but as a fan of musical theatre, otherwise referred to ever so eloquently by Sexton as a “poor sap”, I am obviously too intellectually inferior to understand this and have therefore written him an answer. While the majority of us who write about theatre aim to give fair and balanced opinions, Sexton feels that he and his army of musical theatre haters have been under represented, and so he has written a rather baseless and misinformed article formulated around the argument that acting, singing,…

  On 25th January, EU Telecoms Commissioner, Neelie Kroes, announced a deal with 10 technology and telecom firms, including Hewlett-Packard and O2 parent company Telefonica, to fill 700,000 new high technology jobs by 2015, one million by 2016 and two million by 2020, a fifth of which will be in the UK.

Posted by | Jan 30, 2024 | |          

1. Call in the favours. So you once took a mate for a meal, or bought the house cleaning products for the week. Now you’re out of pocket and it may be time to lean on others a little; with a pleading face and a whining voice you could hint at how poor you really are.
