• Afghanistan has shown us the true horror of war
It’s probably true that the recent escalation in the death toll among British troops in Afghanistan has brought home to a new generation the true cost of war.
• Will they all still love the Orange Order until the Twelfth of Never?
The Orange Order is changing its tune at last.
• Did Gok give the Twelfth a make-over?
When William of Orange crossed the Boyne, July 1690, he could hardly have envisaged that 319 years later his victory over his father-in-law James would be celebrated in Belfast ? with the Bongo Bolero, the Invisible Man and the Von Trolley Quartet. (Don’t ask. I have no idea.)
• How I cashed in on shock news of the death of Elvis
The phrase ‘You’ll always remember where you were when ?’ has become a bit of a cliché, but only because it is so true.
Columnist Comments
• As death toll rises, so too will the scepticism
The number of British soldiers killed in Afghanistan has reached 184 at the time of writing, with 15 of them dying in the last 12 days.
• Mark Steel: The media's Michael Jackson circus
Within minutes of the first reports, it was clear the world was going mad.
• Josef Locke was always so much more rock ‘n’ roll than U2
Shuffling out from U2’s Popmart tour — the one with the McDonalds-style Golden Arch — at Lansdowne Road 10 years ago, I chanced on Philip King, singer, songwriter, television producer and music adviser to the Irish Arts Council.
Columnist Comments
• James Lawton: It’s gamesmanship pure and simple
As if the Australians hadn't scored enough moral victories in the first Test they now have a picture to remind them. It is worth rather more than a thousand words of the most wounding invective.
• Steven Beacom: Why Liverpool may regret Owen's United move
It's been the transfer of the summer so far. No, not Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Manchester United for Real Madrid.
• The Punter: Stars Eclipsing all the rest
Bookies William Hill were inundated with demand for their odds of 5-1 about Sea The Stars to remain unbeaten for the rest of the season after his impressive victory in the Eclipse Stakes which saw him become the first since Nashwan (1989) to land the treble of that race along with the 2000 Guineas and Derby.
