I'm too old to rock'n'roll, too young to die. Live and work in Hull, Yorkshire, UK where I am employed by a major energy company. I'm interested in both arts and sciences, particularly Victorian Painting and Sculpture. I adore the poetry of Christina Rossetti and R S Thomas. I am an amateur geologist, so I know a bit about earth science in general, and the Jurassic of Yorkshire in particular. I try and go for quality rather than quantity in my answers.

  • Poem "Education for Leisure" removed from GCSE anthology?

    this poem, by Carol Anne Duffy has been removed from the GCSE potry anthology following complaints. http://community.tes.co.uk/forums/t/237669.aspx?Pa...

    I would be interested in the opinions of people actually studying it what they think of this censorship. As poet Andrew Motion has pointed out, pupils still study Shakespear which is full of violence (Romeo and Juliet = Gang warfare, stabbing, murder, under-age sex and suicide just as an example)

  • Nokia 3220 lost time display?

    my Nokia 3220 has lost its time display:- It used to show the time in small characters up on the top right hand side when showing the wallpaper, now it just shows the bell symbol - also is ther any way I can get it to keep showing the time on the grey screen - it seems to go to this at random, I am not sure how you can get it to stay on that view unless you are making calls etc.
