Waterstones

Well, not personally, Clary, but I hear he’s very well regarded. He won the Booker Prize. I wanted to suggest one for our reading group. I t...

Beckett?

›
Have you read these Beckett books then? Are they as good as the film? It sounds lovely.

Communal Reality

›
Of course, reality is a highly provisional affair. A discourse that the Community constructs. But, as a woman, I’m interested in the Lucia c...

An Achiever

›
Yes, it’s one of the high points of the film. After years of neglect, through his determination and life management, his play is acclaimed a...

Tramps

›
Didn’t he do that play about the tramps? That wasn’t very romantic was it?

The Reality of Baudrillard

›
Well, what is reality Roxanne? It’s a very sophisticated philosophical question. As Jean Baudrillard shows in the film.

The Reality of the Irish

›
You think that story’s real Mrs Hart? You think it’s true to the facts, to life? Their life, the war, and everything? How the Irish are so r...

Sex and Nature

›
Dunno. Too much shagging I guess! It just kind of hit me out of the blue. An act of God. Well, Nature.

A Woman's Heart

I feel I could write too. From my heart. Stories of love, and the kind of pain only a woman feels. What about you Roxanne? What’s the story ...

Education and Peace

Yes, OfTru have been working very closely with OfPax and there have been valuable spin-offs. The programme for monitoring college students h...

War Baby

›
Me too. Made my life, give me education, all from War. Must tell stories Clary. Make you well. How we are.

A very productive campaign

›
I’d like to add to Ms Hart’s remarks here. The war has also been extremely productive for science, knowledge, and education, as has the whol...

The Sound of Music

Clary!!

Oh come on Clary! You know it’ll be better if you meet people, talk to people. Like Mrs Douce says about dialogue. Use all those skills and ...

Can't

Can’t come, can’t move, can’t speak, can’t. God, feel like a caged bird. It’s tired and breathless, it lays itself down and pants at the bot...

The War for Freedom: Silver Lining

›
I’m surprised there are still some doubts after Mr Cohen’s marvellous contribution to the debate. And really, Tristram, every cloud has a si...

Anything, Everything

›
God, if you got me writing there’d be no holding it back, there’s too much feeling. About my life, about men, and poverty, pain and laughs I...

Poetry and Peace

Yeah, I’m going to write some poetry for peace. I don’t feel so alone when I write. And maybe beautiful words can persuade people to lay dow...

Writing better than Nothingness

›
Ok. Let’s all do this writing thing, go along with the monkey tomorrow. Nothing better to do.

Adventure

›
Yeah, me too. Don’t know what I’d write though. An adventure, a mad escapade, something from my own life—but not mindless, though I’ve been ...

Making Words

›
You know, I quite fancy this writing class. At least we can all meet up. And I can work out things—not with this Anger Management bollocks a...

Natural Wealth

›
Yes, we don’t talk much about ‘socialism’—it sounds old-fashioned. Comical men in flat caps, beer and sandwiches, that sort of thing. We’re ...

Class: A Binary Opposition

›
Well Rob, we’re very wary of these binary oppositions like boss/worker and we try to what we call ‘deconstruct’ them. That means showing tha...

Thinking on my own

›
I’ve just been thinking, Roxanne, that’s all. Anyway, I’m not really one for all this talking and sharing. I found myself getting angry abou...

Hi Rob

›
Where’ve you been Rob anyway? Not heard from you for days! You OK?

Exploitation

›
Yes, but it’s never a positive sense. Exploit says it all. That’s where wealth comes from—the likes of me and Joseph. It’s his idea after al...

Social Entrepreneurs and Wealth Creation

Now, now, Dr Feramor, let’s not quarrel! I do quite agree with Dr Feramor in one respect. This is a fine example of Knowledge Management in ...

Natural Beauty

›
God, you’re so clever Joseph! You have some really cool ideas—where do they come from? But don’t you worry about nature or feel its beauty? ...

Writing Cool

›
What about we put things together for worlds? We can create words. When I get to that typing class?

Sounds cool

›
That’s just what I do with programming computers! I can create worlds just by typing commands, it’s like you’re a wizard casting spells and ...

Popular Mechanics

›
I know what you mean. In my day it was Meccano. You had all these gears and pulleys, strips of metal, and nuts and bolts, and you could buil...

More Light

I think technology can solve everything—why’s everybody so hung up about it? Enough bright people could think up ways of getting more energy...

The Dark Stain of Enlightenment

Wonderful, stirring stuff from Nick’s talk yesterday. However, I do think that Nick writes overmuch about ‘Enlightenment’ values when they’...
