The Internet explodes with reviews of the Nook e-reader from Barnes & Noble

Leeds United goalscorer Jermaine Beckford celebrates with his manager Simon Grayson after their shock 1-0 FA Cup win over Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The drummer’s muted clank is half man, half machine, and unassuming 37-year-old guitar wizard Adrian Utley cranks out fuzz communiques Ennio Morricone might have written for Jimi Hendrix Behind it all is the precocious 22-year-old Barrow. He crouches studiously over his turntables, using them as a musical instrument.It’s the twists and turns – the subtle shifts, the subterranean moodswings – that make this music so beguiling. If Portishead have a problem at the moment, it’s an excess of mystique. This is partly their own fault, for doing everything so stylishly, but it would be a shame if their drama and complexity got washed away in a tidal wave of noir hyperbole: all smoky rooms and small-hours drinking. Portishead’s music is alive: it should not just be the preserve of soundtrack obsessives and ambience- chasers.Until now, the band’s press encounters have followed a pretty strict pattern. Reporter arrives, singer leaves, often with a squeal of tyres from her Triumph convertible This time it’s different.

I arrive at the appointed place – a small terraced house in a less than leafy part of Bristol. Geoff Barrow, it turns out, is ill with a suspected ulcer (he worries too much) so Beth will do the interview. Her matter-of-factness, I later discover, is in sharp contrast to the feelings of her record company, who had been planning to use Beth’s first exclusive as a bargaining counter for control of North Sea oil revenues.Cheerful and chatty, wearing glasses not contacts and speaking with a light West Country burr not a tortured torch croak, Beth Gibbons is in a good mood. Portishead’s second live appearance of the week – at the Transmusicales festival in France – was much more fun than the London date, which despite everyone else’s opinion they do not consider to have been a great success. Next to her passport and money on the table in the kitchen is a hand-written note from a member of the audience.

It says: “You were wonderful – thank you for the pleasure you gave us.”For a band whose music wasn’t, as both Geoff and now Beth have made clear, “designed for live”, Portishead seem to make a big impression on everyone who sees them. Does she enjoy singing for a crowd? “I get very nervous,” she says, “but I like the idea that people who are listening to us can see us.” She doesn’t mind admitting that nerves have made two vital contributions to her stage persona – chain-smoking and hanging onto the mike-stand as if the floor was being pulled away. “We’re not there to be a dominating force,” Beth continues, “I don’t like it when bands go: `Look at us – enjoy it.’ You might not want to enjoy it. You might be feeling ill.”On the strength of a few gigs with a boyfriend’s band seven or eight years ago – her Janis Joplin phase – Gibbons has often been portrayed as some kind of grizzled pub-rock veteran.

The British who like to think of themselves as stoical, uncomplaining sorts, have taken to suing with a vengeance. Her list of those who will be helped by victories for the three includes children with special needs who want to be taught in mainstream schools, children with minor handicaps and illnesses and even precociously intelligent children who need extra tuition.They will be joining a long queue. “Every parent who thinks little Johnny isn’t doing as well as he should?” Well, yes, replies Carol Orton from the British Dyslexia Association. If the parents have a good case they will be able, and should be able, to call in the lawyers. “Who else will be able to sue, if these claims are upheld?” asked John Mead, claims manager for Zurich Municipal, a company which specialises in insuring local authorities. The claims for damages could go ahead, said the Law Lords in June, because schools had a “duty of care” to assess learning difficulties and provide children with a proper education.A new and profitable area of litigation could soon be open to the legal profession. They fought all the way to the House of Lords to try to deny the three men the right to take action against them, and lost.

Hampshire County Council – which is being sued by Mark Christmas, a 21-year-old who claims his dyslexia was not diagnosed until he was 11 – has already responded by announcing plans to test all five-year-olds for dyslexia.
To local authorities the cases represent a huge threat. Victory would mean all schools will have to take dyslexia seriously or risk facing demands for tens of thousands of pounds of compensation. For the British Dyslexia Association, fed up with having dyslexia dismissed as an imaginary ailment invented to explain the academic failure of middle- class children, the cases are a watershed. The Johnnies – or to be precise two young men who claim their schools failed to spot they were dyslexic and a third who said he was wrongly diagnosed as having a low intelligence – want compensation for damage to their education and are preparing to go to court to get it If they win, thousands of actions will follow. LAWYERS across Britain are watching keenly the fate of the Three Little Johnnies.

Just in time for afternoon tea, William emerged from the surgery sporting the head of a Muscovy duck. Ever since then, his weekly column in the Times has improved considerably, enlivened by a lively about- turn on Europe. As my old great-grandmother Arnold used to observe as she sat there scratching her left wing, “No man has a right to call himself a duck until he can quack.”. Quick off the mark, the Garrick doctor sat William on his couch and opened the door marked “Livestock”.

Only last week, my very dear friend Lord Rees-Mogg popped into the Garrick asking for something for his head. Paul is now speaking at full pitch, though he sometimes complains that the wearing of the obligatory muzzle in parks, recreation grounds and other public places is highly inconvenient.One final example of this extraordinary breakthrough in medical science. After a thorough examination with the stethoscope, the aforesaid GP sent out for a bull terrier and recommended an immediate transplant The operation was a total success. Not so very long ago, my old quaffing partner and fellow scrivener Paul Johnson opted to have his vocal cords given a good going-over by the in-house Garrick GP after one or two of his closest friends had complained that they were unable to understand a word he said. I note with some amusement that many interviewers have commented on the gruffness of his facial expressions without ever guessing that he owes it all to a couple of ferrets.Such success stories from the Garrick Cottage Hospital are legion. Sir Kingsley Amis opted for an eyebrow transplant only last week, to tie in with the publication of his latest novel.

Ferrets have provided many members with a marvellous new set of eyebrows, at once more flexible, bushy and severe than their own. Lord Wyatt of Weevil is probably the most prominent Garrick member to sport such lungs. Few would be able to spot the difference, though on reflection Woodrow’s habit of taking great hops towards the cold table while furiously shadow-boxing the air may well be something of a tell-tale sign.Other animals have proved just as invaluable. A member can be having a pre-prandial drink in the Smoking Room and be plucked from his seat by a skilled surgeon, only to be returned before the middle of the main course, fighting fit and with a fresh pair of kangaroo lungs.
