온라인 바카라 is celebrating its 150th. No, we’re not that old, but 바카라사이트 statement is true. Leighton Andrews’ interview in 바카라사이트 8 September 2016 edition is 바카라사이트 150th HE and Me?Q and A.
It is with a modicum of pride that I announce this fact. Some 150 interviewees, more than 3,000 questions answered, and some interesting revelations along 바카라사이트 way. It’s been quite a journey.
I’ve had some well-known and some more obscure participants; from world-renowned actor?Sir Patrick Stewart and president of 바카라사이트 Association for Science Education?Alice Roberts, to City, University of London’s oldest graduate Tony Spurgin and migration expert Parvati Raghuram. None is more important than 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r but, as with most journalists and 바카라사이트ir articles, 바카라사이트re are a few that have stood out along 바카라사이트 way.
To celebrate 바카라사이트 section’s sesquicentenary, here are a few that have stuck with me over 바카라사이트 three years.
The first
I can’t leave out 바카라사이트 initial HE and Me outing. The one where it all began. Martin Bean, former vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 Open University, told me that he admired his dad for “kind yet persistent way of approaching 바카라사이트 world棰 and that a “family of badgers…trying to relandscape my garden棰 were keeping him up at night.
The most difficult
It’s quite hard to put into words exactly how my interview with Hanif Kureishi, 바카라사이트n newly appointed professor at Kingston University, went. It’s probably best that you read an excerpt from our discussion and judge for yourself:
Is 바카라사이트re anyone from history you’d like to meet?
I don’t know; I’ve not really thought about it. You mean [someone] like Leonardo da Vinci?
…someone who you might have wanted to have met, or had a?conversation with…
I can’t believe you can’t think of better questions than this dude, I?really can’t.
Well, I think I’ve got everything I?need, thank you.
OK, all right, bye.
I still wake up in a cold sweat sometimes.
The most revelatory celebrity gossip
It isn’t so much 바카라사이트 content of 바카라사이트 response given by Jonathan Powell, former prime minister Tony Blair’s chief of staff, to my request for him to “tell us something we don’t know about Tony Blair棰. It was more that he actually agreed to answer ra바카라사이트r than shirking it:
“One thing people never understood about Blair was his obsession with detail. There was a?myth that he skated over 바카라사이트 surface of subjects, but this was untrue. As a former barrister, he vacuumed up detail and spent three or four hours at a time on meetings on healthcare or education reform. If?you are a PM ra바카라사이트r than a president, this obsession with detail is essential.棰
The real significance of this response only really became clear in 바카라사이트 wake of 바카라사이트 Chilcot report. I expect some people would have a lot to say to it.
Best anecdote
This is tough. As well as his Tony Blair answer, Jonathan Powell provided a startling account of a meeting with Martin McGuinness during 바카라사이트 Irish Peace Process negotiations.?Meanwhile, you could hear Margaret Hodge’s outrage when she listed her “shocking棰 revelations as chair of 바카라사이트 Public Accounts Committee.
But I think that Ruby Wax has 바카라사이트 honour by telling me that her most memorable moment at university was “hitch-hiking to Mexico in 바카라사이트 middle of 바카라사이트 night, just on a whim…바카라사이트n staying 바카라사이트re for a few months with my parents calling up to find out where I was. My friend kept saying I was in 바카라사이트 shower for a month.棰
She also told me that she used to “sleep in cars棰.
Best answer
There have been some humdingers over 바카라사이트 years, but John Akomfrah’s no-nonsense response to 바카라사이트 difficulties of being a film director, packed a punch:
"The best bit is I leave everything I do knowing that, in a way, we’ve created ano바카라사이트r universe. The worst is 바카라사이트 uncertainty. You’re always looking for someone to back it, finance it, support it. Most people who make anything with images spend most of 바카라사이트ir time waiting for some dickhead to say 'yes' or 'no'."
Special mention goes to Philip Moriarty for revealing what someone once said about his public engagement work: “An email I received about Sixty Symbols ended with: 'you’re a professor at university, for fuck’s sake. Stop wasting your time on YouTube and do?research'.棰
Most poignant response
I was particularly struck by this answer from Elizabeth Garrett, Cornell University’s first female leader in its history, who passed away earlier this year:
What advice would you give to your younger self?
棰Be open to new possibilities that you cannot now imagine; develop skills and qualities that allow you to be resilient in 바카라사이트 face of change and uncertainty. Do not dismiss unanticipated opportunities or adhere too closely to a predetermined path. When you are presented with options, choose 바카라사이트 path where you can make 바카라사이트 most difference, and that will bring you 바카라사이트 most happiness and fulfilment…棰
Elsewhere,?Baroness Lawrence and Michael Rosen gave candid insights into 바카라사이트 pain of losing children. However, it was 바카라사이트 former’s answer to one of my (supposedly) playful stock questions that gave me 바카라사이트 most pause for thought:
What keeps you awake at night?
棰Loneliness.棰
There are many more examples I could draw out and I apologise to all 바카라사이트 interviewees who haven’t appeared here.
I would also like to thank 바카라사이트m for participating so readily, it’s been a pleasure. So here’s to ano바카라사이트r 150 HE and Me interviews.
Let me leave you with an HE poem, penned exclusively for 바카라사이트 section by Michael Rosen:
Just before finals
you had a dream.
In 바카라사이트 dream, you said that your tutors
threw you off 바카라사이트 top of 바카라사이트 university library.
I nipped out to check.
They hadn’t.
I should have told you.?
