Good evening everyone! I would like to make some suggestions for categories. Mr. McGowan - when he arrives - would I expect expect to see at least one about Opera, and Mr. Grew would I know like one about Metaphysics.
What an agreeable forum this is!
I must get hold of some old editions of Radio Times and find out exactly what sort of things the Third put on.

I am content to follow whatever structure you all decide upon. You probably need some kind of category for anything which does not fit anywhere else. Such threads can then be grouped as appropriate. As for The Third, it could certainly do with reinvention in the digital age. It is probably best to allow it to evolve organically?

Good idea - group and expand as necessary.

Thank you, Gerard! Yes, I am very happy to see an Opera section In fact the layout so far seems perfectly ideal for the use we have currently - we can keep an open mind about making additions as the need arises

Good morning to you all! The Third is cordially invited to join us all in the Courtauld Gallery on Thursday 14 February 2013. 1901 was the year in which arguably the greatest artist of the twentieth century, Pablo Picasso, then an ambitious nineteen-year-old, launched his career in Paris. www.ft.com/cms/s/2/8501ba2a-704a-11e2-85d0-00144feab49a.html' Becoming Picasso: Paris 1901' reunites major paintings from his debut exhibition with the influential dealer Ambroise Vollard. These works show the young painter taking on and transforming the styles and subjects of major modern artists of the age, such as Van Gogh, Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec. In the second half of 1901, Picasso radically changed the direction of his art, heralding the beginning of his now famous Blue period. Somerset House - Courtauld Gallery - Becoming Picasso: Paris 1901Inspired partly by the recent suicide of a close friend, Picasso produced a group of profoundly moving paintings of melancholic figures that are considered to be among his first masterpieces. The works show Picasso’s desire to take on and reinvent the styles of major modern artists, including Van Gogh, Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec. The show was a success and launched Picasso’s career in Paris. This exhibition brings together a spectacular group of these paintings, offering a unique opportunity to experience the birth of Picasso's genius. Afterwards, let's face the music and dance!

I don't think that the structure of this particular website is optimal. It has two many sub-sections and is confusing to navigate! What you could do, Uncle Henry, is to revamp it as a multimedia experience instead!

One category which would make sense, Uncle Henry, are the topics I imported from 'Serious Topics' a month ago! Fascinating as they are, they are generally led by the editorial comment published in Fleet Street on the day I am writing a particular posting. They inevitably therefore reflect upon current news stories, and probably lack any historical perspective at all. They also have a distinct bias towards my own particular interests, prejudices and my own particular debating style. Whereas Alistair, Jason and Uncle Henry are particularly interested in the arts, for example, I naturally take a far more scientific approach, and will tend to define everything in terms of Science and Technology. How is the world changing today, Uncle Henry, and why?
