Alastair Knowles: September 2009

http://alastairknowles.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Friday, 11 September 2009. Early in the Morning. It's 7.55 on Saturday morning, and I've been awake for 2 hours, despite the four pints and the curry I had last night. The curry was great. A family owned business. Down in Bermondsey. I've been there before and it always does the biz. I recommend a visit. King Prawn Aloo Chat Puri. To start, followed by the. Excellent. Aromatic, light and perfectly cooked. Food is my. About all of that. I've meandered a bit. I guess I'm saying that work continues to c...

Alastair Knowles: The Single Man

http://alastairknowles.blogspot.com/2012/03/single-man.html

Sunday, 4 March 2012. One of my favourite childhood memories is the radio. My mother always had it on and tuned to Radio 2. Wall-to-wall 'easy listening'. I still love all of those classic easy listening tracks from the late 80s and early 90s: Lost in France (Bonnie Tyler). Rose Garden (Lynn Anderson). Snow Bird (Anne Murray). Streets of London (Ralph McTell). Rainy Days and Mondays (The Carpenters). Don't Sleep in the Subway (Petula Clark). I'm not sure I know. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Peanut Butter & Movies: Best Holiday TV Marathon Ever?

http://pbandmovies.blogspot.com/2009/11/best-holiday-tv-marathon-ever.html

Peanut Butter and Movies. A blog dedicated to the lively debate of films (and all things pop culture) between two guys with extremely disparate tastes. Thursday, November 26, 2009. Best Holiday TV Marathon Ever? Growing up I always loved Thanksgiving, and not just for the usual reasons (food, football, and more food). FX used to run a "viewers' choice" X-Files. Marathon each Thanksgiving day. One year I was even ambitious enough to tape about 10 hours of quality episodes. 4 Christmas A Christmas Story.

Alastair Knowles: Education for All: A New Paradigm?

http://alastairknowles.blogspot.com/2010/12/education-for-all-new-paradigm.html

Thursday, 2 December 2010. Education for All: A New Paradigm? Been a long time since I put finger to keyboard. Philosophers always say something about poets needing pain, or great art coming from great upheaval. I offer no pretence to this, but these certainly are interesting times. The students are revolting. Against quite what does anyone know? Will you tell them, if you do? The prospect of their forebearers, perhaps even they, bearing something close to the full cost of higher education? I suppose my ...

Alastair Knowles: Sing When You're Mingin!

http://alastairknowles.blogspot.com/2009/08/its-been-another-good-week-at-ucl.html

Friday, 28 August 2009. Sing When You're Mingin! It's been another good week at UCL. I'm starting to form a very clear vision of what I hope to achieve over the next 2-3 years, and I've been discussing objectives with my line manager and strategic directors. I hope to gain clearance to make these public soon. For me its good to set clear objectives, and be measured against them. Of earlier this month on Sunday and Monday. Tonight, I've set myself a challenge that I've been looking forward to for some tim...

Alastair Knowles: The Devil has all the Best Tunes

http://alastairknowles.blogspot.com/2009/12/poor-poor-pitiful-me.html

Wednesday, 30 December 2009. The Devil has all the Best Tunes. Been a long, long time since I posted. Its the pit of mid-winter, and as always, for a creature of habit such as I, a pit of debauchery and excess. I've just come back from a week's holiday in Stockholm, which was . not without event. Now I'm heading North to Edinburgh for Hogmanay. Ostensibly a week of rest and recuperation with family, realistically, more of the same. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Alastair Knowles: What We Need is a Great Big Melting Pot?

http://alastairknowles.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-we-need-is-great-big-melting-pot.html

Saturday, 10 October 2009. What We Need is a Great Big Melting Pot? It's been a hell of a week. I've had flu, and spent four of the five weekdays in bed. I'm feeling better today, but still tired, and vengeful towards the scruffy wee erse. Or erses, that contaminated me. For the avoidance of doubt, this is a personal opinion, and in no way representative of the views or opinions of my employer. Regrettably, we've moved since into a very dark place, where there's little to distinguish following the Islami...
