offsite link Super Flu? More Like Super Hype Sun Dec 14, 2025 13:05 | Dr David Livermore
Present case numbers for the ?K? variant Super-Flu don't justify the hype, says Dr David Livermore. Perhaps it's the media lust for fear porn, or perhaps the Government's fear of the strike, but it's not a Super-crisis.

In the good old days, children's comics had one purpose: to be funny. Now, the Beano sees its mission as 'mental health' ? and has its own in-house child psychology unit to keep it on message, says Steven Tucker.

"These courses are specifically designed to cater for anyone interested in creative writing, but who may not have a great deal of opportunity to attend such courses in the evenings," says poet and critic Fred Johnston. "I have met quite a number of people who would attend writers' courses if they were free to do so, but we all find spare time difficult to make these days."

The courses will cover both poetry and prose and will include reading of various authors' works also. "Reading is a vital component of learning how to write a story or a poem. Too often we neglect that aspect of things. I want to discuss poetry and prose that has influenced us as well as learn from it."
