...Material, in his bedroom with his earnings from a job at Burger King. Skinner blends dance beats, garage and hip-hop, but also fronts socially aware lyrics. His album tells of a day in the life of a "geezer" - an ordinary bloke whose existence is an endless run of cafés, strong lager, drugs, raving, failure with women, and kebab shops. It may not be your cup of Tennants, but Skinner is the most original British rapper, skillfully depicting the lives of his escape-bent, disillusioned generation. Of course, not all the Brit nominees are on the cutting edge...
When Henry Miller arrived in Paris in 1930, he was immediately impressed by one aspect of the French capital's street life. "Montmartre is simply lousy with whores," he noted on his first Sunday in town.

Coca-Cola, whose SMS campaign in Belgium increased café sales of 20-cl bottles of Coke by 8%, is preparing to launch massive SMS marketing campaigns in other European countries. And Sony Computer Entertainment Germany, which conducted an SMS marketing campaign in December to push PlayStation 2 as a Christmas gift, is also planning new SMS campaigns...
...looking for human rights in accordance with the nature of our society." Life in the Islamic Republic has changed enormously since Khatami came to power in 1997. Shirazi and her family watch satellite TV, while her sons listen to banned Western music and hang out with girls in cafés - illegal activities, but facts of life in most cities. In the past hard-liners have used assassination and imprisonment without trial to silence their critics. Not any more. "They thought they could execute Aghajari to frighten Khatami's reform movement," says Jalaipour. "The consequences were not what they expected...
