It’s about knowing where to buy things, not this mass thing you can get anywhere.Virgil AblohThe natural creativity of the staff morphed ‘The Daily Beast’ very fast into what has become a newsroom.

Each little slot is incredibly meaningful, and each character has their own moment.Juno TempleI cannot be alone in being pretty nauseated by Red Nose Day, or at least its television manifestation.

Nope.Simon HoggartEvery time humanists try to get a slot on ‘Thought For the Day’ on Radio 4, they are told it’s reserved for ‘the faith community,’ whatever that is.

I’m sure humanists would say much the same, without God.Simon HoggartI know from an editor’s point of view or a publisher’s point of view it’s easier to slot me into a particular niche.

Whether it’s with your parents, your children, your husband or your friends. It makes a difference to them.
