(as reported
by ‘Today' on Wednesday 1st March 2005 - well perhaps not
all of it)
- Iceberg as
an art form
- An artist proposes to have an iceberg towed from Norway to
the docks in Belfast where the Titanic was built . She
says it would be a work of art because it would open up a narrative.
Belfast could engage with the iceberg and imagine other
endings. It would enable them to unravel the meanings and
metaphors of the Titanic which was the 9/11 of the last century

- Guerilla
knitting
- knitting is not merely for making cardigans and pullovers,
but ought to be recognised as an art form in itself. During
the course of the programme, a ‘Today' logo was knitted.
Guerilla knitting is people knitting in public spaces in order
to draw attention to this art form.

- Charles'
wedding
- It was reported that the Queen had decided not to go to her
son's wedding, but would pay for the reception. Of course
this was not in any way a snub over the fact that her son was
being married at a civil ceremony at the registrar's office in
Windsor
-
- New law on
House arrest
- Charles Clarke decided to push through a statute giving himself
the right to place under house arrest any British citizen whom
he reasonably considers to be a danger to society. His first
act was therefore to place himself under indefinite house arrest.
He has not been heard from since.
