    The write stuff - it's yours for the making 26 October 2011 1:00 GMT

    We flicked a quick glance at the fickle and fleeting nature of fame yesterday, with a look at an online talent show, but today we look at, what we feel, is perhaps a more enduring way to touch people’s lives and become well known: the written...

    Fame beckons, if you can win over the online masses 25 October 2011 1:00 GMT

    "Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate,"” said the poet Emily Dickinson, and that was in the 19th Century.

    Quite what she’d have made of the likes of the X Factor and Big Brother is anybody’s guess, but the insatiable...

    Get lost in the good old days 21 October 2011 1:00 GMT

    Were the “good old days” really that good?

    A political history in pictures 19 October 2011 1:00 GMT

    One thing that us Brits do very well is to take the right royal mickey out of the great and the good in our society. As soon as somebody becomes even the slightest bit known for doing anything of note, they become the unwitting target of those most...

    Never have to answer a stupid question ever again 18 October 2011 1:00 GMT

    Life is full of questions.

    Some of them are important: "one for the road?", maybe.

    Some of them are very important: "are you sure you want the extra hot chilli sauce, sir?", is just one example.
