LONDON, Nov 17 (Reuters) – Sterling hit a two-month highagainst the euro on Tuesday, boosted after a Bank of Englandpolicymaker said the UK economy was entering a recovery phase U.K.

When all was calm, he talked about the songs he had heard at his mother’s knee, his love of well-made lyrics, his puzzlement at songwriter’s lives and inspirations. “My favourite song is ‘Love for Sale’,” he said, “but it’s funny what happened to Cole Porter. For years he was swanning around the world, drinking champagne, living in huge houses and he did all his best work. Then he fell off a horse, hurt his back and never wrote a decent song again. You’d think it would be the other way round, wouldn’t you?”About the is-rock-poetry debate he was quite clear It just wasn’t.

“I hate,” he said, “to see my own stuff written down.” And, as if to clear up the matter, he threw back his head and recited Keats’s “Ode to Autumn”, word perfect. The audience erupted again.Later, en route to bed at the Queens, I looked in at the bar It was 2.15am. There was a crowd around a table that included supermodels, diary hacks, Sixties throwbacks and, in the middle, the early-night-favouring Dury.My last sighting of Mr D was of him pressing Del to proposition the woman in the bar on his behalf, “… an’ if not her, try that other bird”.”I tried once, Ian,” whined Del.

“She’s just not playin’….”"Just one more go,” said Ian firmly “A little drop o’ champagne in my suite Just say that”. Del went back to the fray.Ian Dury was a roughneck, a gentleman, a hater of condescension, a lyricist of genius, a limited but characterful singer, and the final epitome of diamond geezer. Of all the reasons to be cheerful in this vale of tears, he was, until yesterday, one of the most convincing.. You know you’ve hit the big time when your record is being played in clothes shops. Never mind that the Ohio-born songstress Macy Gray walked away with a pair of gongs at last month’s Brit Awards. The fact that her guttural growl is accompanying the sales of legions of silky summer dresses means that, with the proceeds of her extraordinary début album, Gray is set up for life.

Never mind that the Ohio-born songstress Macy Gray walked away with a pair of gongs at last month’s Brit Awards. The fact that her guttural growl is accompanying the sales of legions of silky summer dresses means that, with the proceeds of her extraordinary début album, Gray is set up for life.
But such success has its drawbacks. I can’t be the only one feeling that, by virtue of its ubiquity, Gray’s LP On How Life Is is losing its appeal.Fortunately, there is a solution. After just five minutes in the company of Gray at her Brighton show, the record was instantly brought back to life. During interviews, the singer frequently claims to have been mortified by her voice as a child.

But what strikes you seeing her perform live is how these deep, grainy vocals achieve such extraordinary emotional range. In the space of one song she moves seamlessly from tragic vulnerability to out-and-out euphoria.And who’d have thought that a woman with a voice more gravelly than Dot Cotton’s could be sexy? A gloriously lascivious version of “Sex-O-Matic Venus Freak”, sees the purring Gray transformed into a panting sex beast, enacting asimulated orgasm.Dressed in her usual long coat and flares, her hair combed into a near-spherical afro, Gray is the epitome of cool. In the infectious and warm sense rather than the aloof, look-but-don’t-touch attitude of her peers.”Louder,” she yells at the band at the end of the Billie Holidayesque “Why Didn’t You Call Me?” “Louder,” she screams again. As a result, the bass is cranked up so far our ribcages thump in protest.The sheer diversity of Gray’s inspiration also shines through. While appropriating grooves from classic soul and funk – Sly Stone might have orchestrated the whole show – the singer also creams off the best elements of hip-hop. But while her contemporaries simply underline their dysfunctionality with gangsta-style prattling, Gray handles dark themes – murder, violence, isolation – with a winningly light touch.

“It sounds daft when I’ve just done a 147 but I’m not playing well. I’ve won one match in eight which tells its own story.”In his previous match he broke off in the decider and then had to sit and suffer as Jimmy Michie made 96. One game away from the British Open and possible ranking points, he achieved perfection, a 147, and a lot of use it was to him. He still lost 5-4.”It’s the worst start to the season I’ve ever had,” Prince, only the fifth player to get a maximum and still lose, said. To get there some players need to win nine successive matches, all of them a lottery of “is it my day?” contests.Skill, of course, is essential but so is luck and timing. Jason Prince was knocking on the door of the top 32 this time last year but has barely won a match since and will be lucky to stay in the elite 64.

That is glamour and the hint of renown, but there is very little of that commodity at the Norbreck Castle, just hard, taut games cooped in 16 little cubicles that look like a small chess board when viewed from above.Last week the British Open was the end game for the up-and-coming and the down-and going, this week it is the biggest carrot off them all, an appearance at the Crucible and the World Championship. Barely anyone stirred outdoors and, if they did, it was reluctantly. Or they were snooker players.
The Norbreck Castle Hotel on Blackpool’s North Shore bustled like a train station, which in snooker terms it is because the 16 tables are platforms to fame, anonymity, hope or despair. You buy your ticket and find out where you are going only when you get there. But, for most, the destination is a town called Disappointment.They are the losers in the cock-fight that is the qualification process which gets you into the televised tournaments and the big time.

Blackpool, naughty but nice in spring, summer and autumn, is neither in January, and even the town’s tourist board would have given up on a day where the weather was at its most malevolent. Had Lord Hoffmann been a member of AI he would, therefore, have been automatically disqualified. It could make no difference that, instead of being a direct member of AI, he was a director of AICL, a company wholly controlled by AI and carrying on much of its work.. THE RAIN was bouncing off the prom and being taken up by an icy, spiteful wind to form what looked like plumes of smoke. It was criminal, not civil, litigation and, by allowing AI to intervene, there was a party to a criminal cause or matter who was neither prosecutor nor accused. AI shared with the government of Spain and the CPS not a financial interest, but an interest to establish that there was no immunity for ex-heads of state in relation to crimes against humanity.There was no good reason in principle for limiting automatic disqualification to cases involving a pecuniary interest. The question then arose whether the case was one in which it could be said that Lord Hoffmann had an “interest” which must lead to his automatic disqualification.Hitherto only pecuniary and proprietary interests had led to automatic disqualification The present litigation was, however, most unusual.

It is clearly her life experience which informs her politics, so while Europe and civil liberties are two more crucial planks of her platform, she claims not to define her membership of the Lib Dems in terms of electoral reform. The way to control this group is to encourage them to work, despite the fact that there are certain times in any child’s life when it can be beneficial for them to be parented full-time.Ballard, after her marriage broke up, experienced time as a single mother on income support herself. While she admits that Labour has made significant changes since the days when she could not bring herself to join the party she considered herself to identify with, she maintains that “at heart, they haven’t moved away from viewing people as being part of groups or part of classes, and feeling that they need to control these groups from the centre”.As an example she takes single parents, who are seen as a group made up entirely of feckless 16-year-olds. Just tell me what Liberals are.’ As he talked I realised what it was I didn’t like about the socialist credo.

It was their insistence on seeing people as groups or classes rather than as individuals. It was their desire to control from the centre rather than allowing decision- making to take place at a lower level.”This, she maintains today, is still the big problem with Labour. “He said: `You’re obviously a Liberal, why don’t you join the party and get involved?’ `Oh,’ I said, `but I’ve always voted Labour. I felt like I owned him, so I would write long letters to him all the time, about issues that were affecting me and my family – class sizes at the local school because my daughter was there; VAT on listed buildings because I lived in one; health because I had an aunt who hadn’t been admitted to an intensive care unit because she was over 70…”This went on for about two years, until one day the doorbell rang, and there was Paddy Ashdown.

I was really impressed by that, so in 1983, although I still considered myself a Labour supporter, I voted for him, the person, not the party.”When he got in, I felt like he really was my MP. Ballard realised that she could not, with the tools at her disposal, alter the course of this family’s lives.Disillusioned, she married, and the pair moved, inspired by the mid-Seventies television sitcom The Good Life, to the West Country, where they set about the great self-sufficiency experiment. As the pleasures of life as a wife and mother waned, a local wannabe MP started attracting Ballard’s attention. “Westland was wanting to sell helicopters to Chile and Paddy Ashdown made a principled stand against it, which could have been a big vote-loser as Westland was a major employer in the Yeovil constituency. She wasn’t quite sure what it was that repelled her, but she couldn’t quite bring herself to join the Socialist Club.After she graduated, she became a social worker in Waltham Forest in London’s East End. At 21, and with little experience, her job was to deal with at-risk children. She worked with a particular family which was headed by a single mother who at 19 had three children.

While she considered herself a socialist, something stopped her from joining the biggest, most influential organisation that was available to LSE students. Here she threw herself into the radical political ferment that suffused the place, campaigning against apartheid, against Vietnam, picketing Miss World, behaving in every way like the kind of student who typified the LSE of the late Sixties Except in one respect. While she recognised that she had been given a great opportunity, she felt that her privilege was a burden. Riven by the contrast between her own school life and that of the local children in state education, she became a rebel, taking it upon herself to challenge the complacency of the people around her who took so much for granted.In this same spirit she rejected English at Oxford, the course her teachers had mapped out for her in favour of psychology at the London School of Economics.

The family moved to Wales where Jackie embarked on her final year of primary education at a tiny village school.So impressed were her teachers by her academic prowess – a fact that, she is at pains to emphasise, had more to do with the superiority of the Scottish education system than her own genius – that they decided to do something they’d never done before, and enter their prodigy for a scholarship to the private boarding school, Monmouth School for Girls.Her attendance at the school was the catalyst which jolted her into political awareness At 12 she realised that “life was crushingly unfair”. Since, in the Fifties, the days of the independent forester were very much numbered, the family was already reduced to living in a caravan when it became apparent that there was no more wood to cut in Scotland. And so this woman, who has been in Parliament for only two years but is already certain that for the good of all she must become its prime minister sooner rather than later, starts to tell a story that is ludicrous in its exemplary depiction of a life that has been lived as a political journey.Raised for her first 10 years in rural Scotland, Jackie Ballard was born the daughter of a woodcutter. Jackie Ballard sounds far more like a socialist than Tony Blair does. Why is it that she defines herself as a liberal?This, Ballard admits, is a complicated question, one that can only be fully answered with a quick run through her life story. The truth is that Ballard, on the left of the Lib Dems, has far more in common with the Labour left than she does with the right wing of her own party. But it is worth noting that Ballard’s declaration that the coalition has stalled and her pinpointing of social justice as one of the key areas of her disagreement with Labour was made on the very day that 44 Labour MPs called for a rejection of the centre- left coalition with the Liberal Democrats, so that Labour’s future as a “democratic socialist party fighting for social justice” can be assured.These are funny old times for British party politics.
