Health and Safety at the Tate Modern

The Tate Modern exhibition of porcelain sunflower seeds has had to be closed because of a possible health risk.  This is not the first time, that these issues have occurred at the museum according to The Guardian. A friend actually got stuck in Doris Salcedo‘s crack in the floor.

Simon Barnes on Liverpool and Money in Sport

Simon Barnes is my favourite sports writers and his piece on Liverpool in today’s paper is one of his best.  And that is praise indeed, as to beat his usual high standard takes doing.

This is the opening paragraph.

What’s the difference between Peter Ridsdale at Leeds United and the Tom Hicks-George Gillett Jr regime at Liverpool? Answer: Ridsdale tried to use money to acquire glory; Hicks and Gillett tried to use glory to acquire money.

As the two Americans are saying they’ll be suing RBS for $1.6billion, I suspect that some journalists, who have put the boot into the two, may well be up for feeling the long arm of the American Legal System.

At least though our judges will probably protect those that need to be protected.
