	China Holiday 2001 Diary
		An abundance of trees supplied their shade to the pavements, and there were well-known Western-branded shops and much less recognizable signs everywhere.
		As expected there were an awful lot of tourists here (it felt strange seeing such a lot of Foreign tourists, as opposed to just Chinese tourists), and an awful lot of people selling souvenirs and food outside the grounds, but the site itself was large, and hence not crowded.
		This splash of fading colour hanging over the river to the west was in sharp contrast to the muted grey-brown building blocks of the city across the river to the north, and the striped arable hillsides to the east.

	An Englishman Abroad
		Furthermore, by attempting to justify the war retrospectively, Bush is guilty of an almost Orwellian level of deception: it reminds me of the bit in 1984 when Big Brother retrospectively changes the targets of the 5 year plans to show that they have been met.
		To be a successful artist these days all you have to do is throw together something suitably puerile and attention-seeking (plastinated human bodies, unmade beds, pickled farm animals, etc etc), appear on TV in a semi-coherent, vodka-induced stupor, and say something suitably "profound" about the emotional reaction you hope to induce in your viewers.
		Self-criticism is an essential part of politics and when people are unwilling to admit to their own failings you´re in trouble.

	Vegas Trip Report - An Englishman Abroad (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		After about an hour or so a new player sat down at the table who turned out to be a LAG who frequently tried to buy pots with bluffs after the flop.
		Unfortunately, the river brought an Ace and when the hands got shown down it transpired he'd be doing so with A6o and had managed to suck out on the river.
		After spending half an hour virtually lying down on the seat underneath the TV I was relieved when everyone decided to move on for food and then tried to explain that they’d been blocking the equivalent of the FA Cup Semi-Final in England.

		The last time that I made an ill-advised foray onto a nightclub dancefloor, a complete stranger wrestled me to the floor and injected me with insulin.
		My friends, many of whom had seen me dance on previous occasions, agreed that his miswas an understandable mistake, although it did have the unfortunate consequence that my blood-sugar level now goes through the roof whenever I hear even a few bars of "Come on Eileen".
		What disgusted many people, myself included, about the anti-war rhetoric of Hollywood celebrities was not the position they took, but the unshakable feeling that they were choosing their stance in the same spirit that they decided what to wear to the Oscars.

	When Saturday Comes - the half decent football magazine
		An Englishman Abroad is interesting on details of Spanish culture and language.
		It even gives an insight into the phrase “El Becks” that seems to have escaped the author of the book of the same name, pointing out that calling a person “El” in Spanish is usually ironical, lending them “a mock-institutional status”.
		However, An Englishman Abroad is also a little rushed in places, a consequence no doubt of the vulture-like publishing feeding frenzy that is likely to have been behind its genesis.

	An englishman abroad by Dave Charlton - Scottish Federation for Coarse Angling
		It was still difficult to tell what was inside the bundle and which bit of it I should direct my greeting at when, luckily for me, the bundle moved and out of a thick woolly hood a face emerged like a slowly awakening turtle.
		The next half an hour is a complete blur, the bundle turned out to be friendly, and for a blissful period we swapped tales of angling prowess.
		More importantly he turned out to be a keen local angler and gave me a complete run down on sport available in the area, what methods he most favoured and which venues had pubs within spitting distance.

		A blond Englishman, ghosting into the area like a poacher born and bred, nips in front of his hesitating opponent and pokes the ball gratefully into the open net.
		The idea that the Englishman could have no place in the Real Madrid team seemed a harsh judgement on a player whose technical accomplishments and tactical maturity were beyond question.
		Figo could go back to the side of the pitch he preferred, Beckham could finally settle into the position that he had claimed was always his preferred one, and the team could at last lay the ghost of Claude Makelele, transferred at the beginning of the season to Chelsea in controversial circumstances.

		Romantic and pragmatic by turns and charged with a tremendous enthusiasm for the future at each step, Robson is an entertaining interpreter of his own life in and out of the spotlight.
		His is too genuine and spontaneous a voice to lend itself entirely to prose, but a largely successful attempt to put the man on paper makes this book something special.
		His book is just an example of how many English managers perceive the game with a working class mind.

	Alan Bates Television Archive: "An Englishman Abroad"
		Burgess met Browne during an intermission of "Hamlet" and invited her to lunch at his apartment seven years after he had disappeared and defected to the Soviet Union with fellow Cambridge alumnus and British diplomat Donald MacLean.
		On September 1, 1963, an official of a Moscow hospital announced that Jim Andreyevich Elliott -- the name by which Burgess was known in Russia -- had died from heart disease.
		Witness Browne's realization on stage that it was the infamous Guy Burgess who had lurched into her dressing room looking for a place to be sick, or the way Burgess's matter-of-fact London tailor accepts a suit order as if the defector had been fitted only a day before.

	Alan Bates Television Archive: "An Englishman Abroad"
		About 25 years ago, a drunken Englishman stumbled into Coral Browne's dressing room in the Moscow theater where she was playing Gertrude in the Old Vic production of "Hamlet." He threw up in her sink, stole her soap and her cigarettes, then proceeded to groom himself with her powder.
		When he invited her to his "pigsty" of an apartment for lunch, she learned that he wanted her to take his measurements so that she could visit his tailor in London and order him new clothes.
		To the ironic strains of Gilbert and Sullivan's "He remains an Englishman," the final scene sums up the dilemma of an exceedingly improper Englishman, determined to remain English at any cost.

		Still an enfant terrible after all these years, Werner Herzog talks to KRISTINE McKENNA about grizzly bears, the dream of flight and the folly by which man tries to conquer nature.
		Berkoff's villains are an array of gargoyles, while the women by their sides (yes, he plays them too) all come off as prissy divas.
		When I'm here, I feel I'm on another planet, an outer ring of Saturn, so I watch the people who are very much like normal people except they have a couple of genes missing, which curiously renders them rather charming.

		The book opens like an English schoolboy novel, with a steamship moving toward adventure as it makes its way up the Missouri River, at last on the shores of the great West.
		He lives purely in nature on skills learned from the Indians who brought him up; yet he also carries, from the white folk who rescued him, a tattered Bible and a bitter, if vastly inconsistent, hatred of immorality.

	Telegraph \| Arts \| An Englishman abroad
		Gore is possessed by an aching nostalgia for "the Home Place" - Kent - coupled with an unrealisable desire to marry the Irish head of his household staff, Margaret, whose hand is also sought by his resentful son.
		Bringing matters to a head, almost literally, is the presence of his eccentric ethnologist cousin Richard, over from England to conduct anthropometric experiments on those he disdainfully regards as "a primitive people".
		Bold because Friel dares to present an Irish audience with a sympathetic portrait of a self-preoccupied Englishman, one too distracted even to register properly the ragged condition of the locals dragooned into his cousin's experiments.

		The big advantage that Barcelona has over Madrid or Milan is that it takes a more relaxed attitude to celebrities.

		San Sebastian-based Ball`s "An Englishman Abroad" is an excellent insight not just into the life and times of David Beckham but also shows real understanding of the expat experience.
