You know the classic Warner Brothers cartoon scene. Wile E is being chased and he runs over a cliff. For a few seconds he goes on running in mid-air; then he looks down, realises there is no ground below and only then plunges down. </p> New Articles Sat, 05 Jul 2008 00:00:01 +0100 http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/a-hrefhttpblogsindependentcoukopenhousetodayscommentpagesindexhtml-targetblankpick-of-the-commentatorsa-860207.html http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/a-hrefhttpblogsindependentcoukopenhousetodayscommentpagesindexhtml-targetblankpick-of-the-commentatorsa-860207.html New Articles Fri, 04 Jul 2008 10:51:29 +0100 http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/equestrianism-skelton-leads-british-recovery-to-claim-share-of-third-place-860065.html http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/equestrianism-skelton-leads-british-recovery-to-claim-share-of-third-place-860065.html <p>Germany won last night's Samsung Super League Nations Cup under floodlights in the huge Aachen arena, with a two-round total of 16 faults and without the reigning European champion, Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum, being required to jump a second round on Shutterfly. With German flags fluttering in the crowded stands, the four riders who will form the Olympic team defeated the Netherlands (20), with Britain rallying to share third place with the United States (both on 21).</p> New Articles Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:00:01 +0100 http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/the-857531.html http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/the-857531.html <p>I was first stricken with psoriasis, the illness that makes you shed flakes of skin, in my twenties, when I was at university in Edinburgh. Its chosen arena for battle on my body was my face. Over time, bad skin became my companion, and like most friendships, we had our ups and downs. I often hated it, and was furious at the way it made me look so crusty and red, and made me withdraw from so many things I wanted to do. But then at other times, when my face magically cleared and I looked in the mirror to see my eyes and nose and mouth rather than just a collection of nasty, peeling red patches, I was so thankful to it, and felt a great surge of love for my friend, my merciful skin disease. </p> New Articles Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:00:01 +0100 http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/murray-blows-gasquet-away-with-mix-of-style-and-stamina-857759.html http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/murray-blows-gasquet-away-with-mix-of-style-and-stamina-857759.html New Articles Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:00:01 +0100 http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/senna-flies-flag-of-convenience-for-the-boys-from-brazil-856884.html http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/senna-flies-flag-of-convenience-for-the-boys-from-brazil-856884.html <p>Xabi Alonso is one of the finest passers in the game, which is why Juventus covet his signature and Liverpool will only let him go at a premium price. The midfielder will not, however, be in the Spanish XI for tomorrow's Euro 2008 final in Vienna. "We are very strong in midfield," he said, ruefully, when asked about his omission. Being a polite man and a good squad member, he did not add that were only Spaniards selected for the team, he would be in it.</p> New Articles Sat, 28 Jun 2008 00:00:01 +0100 http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/fortis-shares-slump-20-on-euro8bn-capital-raising-plan-855485.html http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/fortis-shares-slump-20-on-euro8bn-capital-raising-plan-855485.html <p>Fortis has become the latest banking group to bolster its balance sheet in the wake of the credit crunch and its joint acquisition of ABN Amro, kicking off an &euro;8bn (&pound;6bn) capital raising plan yesterday.</p> New Articles Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:00:01 +0100 http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/the-comedians-whove-been-to-the-brink-ndash-and-back-852498.html http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/the-comedians-whove-been-to-the-brink-ndash-and-back-852498.html New Articles Mon, 23 Jun 2008 11:08:50 +0100 http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/it-is-something-i-want-something-i-dream-of-851683.html http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/it-is-something-i-want-something-i-dream-of-851683.html <p>continued from page 80</p> New Articles Sat, 21 Jun 2008 00:00:01 +0100 http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/a-hrefhttpblogsindependentcoukopenhouse200806thepersonalsthtml-targetblankguest-author-the-personal-stories-from-zimbabwes-map-of-terrora-851372.html http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/a-hrefhttpblogsindependentcoukopenhouse200806thepersonalsthtml-targetblankguest-author-the-personal-stories-from-zimbabwes-map-of-terrora-851372.html New Articles Fri, 20 Jun 2008 11:45:39 +0100 http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/the-sketch-britishness-a-godgiven-right-to-muddle-through-851021.html http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/the-sketch-britishness-a-godgiven-right-to-muddle-through-851021.html <p>At the Lords debate on Britishness we had speeches from noble Afro-Brits, Indo-Brits, Islamo-Brits, Euro-Brits and even a couple of Anglo-Brits. We all have multiple identities these days. It's something to do with Gordon Brown's attempt to include himself in the "one of us" category at election time. It's working well so far, you notice. </p> New Articles Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:00:01 +0100 http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art-and-architecture/news/hirst-hopes-to-revolutionise-art-market-with-golden-calf-851034.html http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art-and-architecture/news/hirst-hopes-to-revolutionise-art-market-with-golden-calf-851034.html <p>A calf in formaldehyde with gold-plated horns and hooves leads a collection of previously unseen work by Damien Hirst that will be auctioned off this summer in a move that could revolutionise the sale of contemporary art.</p> News Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:00:01 +0100 http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/paul-newman-butch-cassidy-and-his-cancer-battle-test-845722.html http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/paul-newman-butch-cassidy-and-his-cancer-battle-test-845722.html <p> When Paul Newman and Robert Redford leapt off that impossible cliff, in the unforgettable scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, fans watching in cinemas in 1969 were rooting for the bandit buddies, hoping they would escape into the sunset, forever free, forever hewn with implausibly good looks. However, the law finally caught up with the nefarious screen pairing. And, off-screen, time eventually would, too. </p> New Articles Thu, 12 Jun 2008 14:06:26 +0100 http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/president-records-in-brief-842979.html http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/president-records-in-brief-842979.html <p> <b>Introduction: </b> </p> <p> Launched in the UK in 1966 to release The Symbols&rsquo; version of &ldquo;See You In September&rdquo;. </p> <p> <b>History: </b> </p> <p> President&rsquo;s first Number 1 was in 1968 with &ldquo;Baby Come Back&rdquo; by The Equals.
