But have no fears that Love live is still a fearsomely visceral prospect, marrying heartbreakingly romantic glamour with limitless bile and general dissing of everyone in the world. It’s a surprisingly gentle album – these rockers aren’t afraid of acoustic guitars. Her band Hole’s current album, Live through This, was released before Cobain’s suicide – and so its exhortation has assumed a tragic dimension – but it has taken until now to achieve its deserved critical respect.

The main drawback is that the spinner is extremely sensitive to wind – the game deteriorates rapidly in even the slightest breeze. After about an hour we got bored and went back to playing Frisbee. Not a little skill is required for a successful throw-catch combo. Once you get into the hang of launching and catching, you can manage distances of about 25ft, and heights of about 50.

But no – so gentle is the toy that the only dogs in the vicinity left their owners and demanded that we let them join in. For a tenner you get two plastic “swords” and a diablo, modelled on that spinning double-top that jugglers flick into the air and catch using a taut piece of cord. We had rather hoped for something incredibly fast and vicious, and so spent a considerable time over-exerting ourselves in the vain hope that the orange diablo would screech across the park scaring animals and small children. As a sniggering gesture, the dogs are seen against a landscape of “twinkly bushes”, so the precious pups have a handy public convenience should the need arise.

Light sculpture has always been a problematic area.

Is it an attempt at art or a stab at interior design? David Page’s latest show, despite the intriguing title, ‘15 Bitches and a Pig (Woof!)’ does little to clarify the situation. Page has presented a line of marching dogs – pedigrees and mongrels of all shapes and sizes, turning the gallery into a canine carnival. The animals have been constructed from tissue paper stretched over wire frames and lit from the inside. The centrepiece is somewhat inexplicably a large glowing pink pig.

You're violently against customer cars and such, but you need to keep the grid fully populated. Its a tricky problem for Formula One.”Mallya responded with this pretentious remark:”It is a problem for Formula One and you know, we have to run a full factory, we have to have research and development programs and wind tunnels and everything that goes with it and obviously its a lot more expensive, a lot more difficult than those who can just go and get chassis from others…”Lets pause right there and examine that statement. It's obviously a jab at Aguri, but Mallya and Brundle seem to imply that Force India built their car, and didn't just “get it from others,” which simply isn't true. While they may have every intention of building their own car in the future, the VJM01 is simply a reworked version of the 2007 Spyker F8-VII not unlike the way the Aguri SA08 is a reworked 2007 Honda RA107. Force India also uses Ferrari customer engines, not unlike the way Aguri used Honda customer engines.While the designer of the Spyker, Technical Director James Key, continues to hold that position for Force India, the fact of the matter remains: Mallya simply purchased him along with the car, and where Aguri was a brand new F1 team, Force India is simply the re-branded Spyker-Midland-Jordan team, purchased by Mallya.Whats the real definition of a customer team? That, apparently remains open to interpretation, but Vijay, don't pretend for a second you built the car or team that you bought.I'd love to hear opinions on this, please let me know where you stand on this issue..

Howson thinks teaching has got to be made into a more desirable career, carrying high reward and status. Earlier this year he called for a massive promotional advertising campaign on television to attract people into the profession. It will be interesting to see whether the agency takes up the idea.A new teacher recruitment strategy, containing promotion, marketing and advertising, is to be considered at the agency’s board meeting next month. “There are some difficulties in finding heads for primaries at the moment.

In other words, some women in primaries don’t see going on to a headship as something they want to do.”This month the agency appointed a new head of teacher supply, Jane Benham, and a new professional adviser on teacher supply, John Howson, of Oxford Brookes University Mr Howson has been outspokenly critical of the agency. That would do enormous good.”In fact, the training agency is embarking on a new initiative to attract men into teaching. Ms Millett does not deny the importance of issues of pay and prospects. Her agency is preparing advice for the Teachers’ Salary Review Body on pay. She will not be drawn on the details, but she says that career progression, and the speed of that progression, is an important issue for the body to begin to grasp.”We have to recruit on the basis that people can see there is career progression for them in primary schools in a way that they haven’t seen in the past,” she explains.

He says: “I do wish the agency and the Government would go upfront and make clear that they think teaching is a valuable thing to do and put their money where their mouths are. “The profession has been undermined by attacks from the Prime Minister and the Chief Inspector of Schools.”Mr Bangs blames the TTA for failing to promote teaching as an interesting and creative career. John Bangs, head of education and equal opportunities at the National Union of Teachers, thinks men avoid teaching because they can earn more elsewhere They are also put off by the lack of career prospects The Government has not helped matters, says Mr Bangs. “But what we need to do alongside that is to raise the profile of teaching as a challenging and rigorous profession and I don’t think that’s been done enough,” says Ms Millett.When you ask teachers why they think men are steering clear of the profession, they cite issues of career progression and salaries.

But that message may not have percolated through society.Teaching has always been one of the caring professions, particularly primary teaching, and it needs to remain so. “We think this is a problem.”The experts agree that the imbalance in primary schools has almost reached crisis proportions. One reason men are shunning the profession, they think, is that primary teaching is seen – you guessed it – as an all-female business. Another reason is that primary teaching has not been viewed as particularly intellectually challenging. Of course, nowadays it is, or should be, because of the national curriculum requiring 10 subjects to be taught at the top end of primary school, the same number as in the first year of secondary school. “We are very concerned about how few men there are coming into teaching,” she says.

Since our Champions League abjection, many things have happened, many views that I had wished to air with you, without quite getting the chance.We had an arguably even more crushing display against our dearest London friends from Russia, and all surely cheered Barcelona to victory against our frequent usurpers at home and abroad (and then jeered, looking on green with envy as Thierry had that big cup over his head if ONLY he put that one-on-one away against Valdes in Paris, well that’s what I was thinking).
