Who'd want to leave the Boro?

Article Abstract:

The recent criticism of Middlesbrough, England, by Brazilian footballer Emerson Moises Costa, who has recently joined the town's football team, has served to focus media attention on the town's negative aspects. It has been compared very unfavourably with Brazil, especially for its poor climate and unattractive buildings. This has prompted outrage from many Middlesbrough residents, who point out that the town actually offers a very high quality of life and that it is situated close to beautiful countryside.

Stephen Fry's strange idea of failure

Article Abstract:

Actor Stephen Fry has been widely acclaimed for his film and television roles, his scriptwriting and his novels, and has therefore taken everyone by surprise by apparently disappearing after the poor reviews which followed the opening performances of 'Cell Mates.' His family and friends believe that he has simply become exhausted and reached breaking point, although they would not have expected him to disappear. He is not a melancholic character, and was not a failure by anyone else's standards.

Why Chris Smith found the opera too much

Article Abstract:

United Kingdom Secretary of State for Culture Chris Smith has announced plans to bring together the English National Opera, the Royal Ballet and the Royal Opera in a single building. This follows growing concern about the management of the Royal Opera House, especially elitism among its top executives. The Royal Opera House is now bankrupt for practical purposes, having been negatively affected by a gradual decline in real terms in its taxpayers' subsidy.
