This year f
This year finds the industry in a recessionary mood as it chooses which of its big earners - including Shakespears Sister, Right Said Fred, Annie Lennox, Tasmin Archer and Simply Red - to reward. (Photograph omitted). But there you are, the companies that run Britain's landfills - a calling which is not glamorous but so necessary that someone ought to celebrate it - sent me around the country at speed to help pick the best of the holes in the ground that we call rubbish dumps and into which is disposed everything we'd rather forget. New staff rosters are to be introduced by London Ambulance Service on 1 October, following the publication of a report that said 5 per cent of all call-outs, particularly those in peak periods, did not result in arrival within the target response time, 14 minutes. I stuck the job, I didn't quit; I met a lot of different people, saw parts of Britain I didn't know existed, and I suppose I grew up. So it's a good way for us to have our cake and to eat it too. Three people were reported to have been killed by shells in the government-held town of Tuzla, while seven civilians were wounded by Bosnian artillery in the Serb-held town of Brcko.The United Nations also reported heavy shelling in the Bihac pocket along two fronts.
Even as recently as the post-war decade, public servants in such places tended to keep quiet about their politics, particularly if they were Labour politics. Otherwise they will ask us, as Francois Mitterrand did at Maastricht: 'Why don't you just opt out?'No referendum will ease the Government's position No referendum will satisfy the Eurosceptics There are simply too many complicated questions. Matthew Le Tissier helped himself to a hat- trick in a magnificent personal contribution, a feat that gives Terry Venables food for thought as he pieces together his first England squad.Le Tissier deserves to be among that select group of men. For pounds 155 per person for two nights, guests will receive old copies of Punch to read over afternoon tea, a car wash before departure and the quaint touch of hotel staff waving them goodbye when they drive off.
By contrast, the marketing messages stress, video pictures can transmit facial expressions and body language.Some potential buyers seem to have been identified. Maybe they thought the margins too slim or the quantity too small; although a glance at Amstrad's trading figures in the mid-1980s, or asking Dixons what their biggest money spinner was, would soon have dispelled that notion.And with the majority of the public still yet to buy their first computer, or even word processor, that market should go on for years to come. A UN resolution establishing a no-fly zone over Bosnia could be passed 'fairly soon', President George Bush said yesterday. It left Arsenal simply looking poor.Since their visit to Ewood Park last month odd results had continued to beset this changing Arsenal side, and being the bookmakers' favourites has hardly helped. They have also barred the deportees from crossing into their territory.The Lebanese Prime Minister, Rafik al-Hariri, said Beirut was willing to discuss any plan on how the 10 could return home. A touch hyperbolic perhaps, but the widespread existence of this perception was confirmed by detailed investigations by Sam Fulwood, of the Los Angeles Times.'In interview after interview,' he wrote, 'black Americans cited the unproven accusations against singer Michael Jackson, the rape conviction of former boxing champion Mike Tyson, the stiff jail sentence given to former Washington Mayor Marion Barry for smoking crack, and the Senate hearings into alleged sexual harassment by then Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas to support their belief that the nation's white power elites act in concert to maintain white supremacy.' Not everyone sees the O J case this way.
