Giggs: It’s time to blot out old friendships
Telegraph.co.uk – Mar 26, 2006
“Giggs and Neville, who makes his 500th appearance for United today, were among the sparkling graduates who evoked the days of the Busby Babes. Matt Busby’s innovative youth policy was the template adopted by Alex Ferguson and the hope is that more players will come through to take up the cause. The best young players in the current team have been acquired at great expense, of course, but Giggs believes the mix of home-grown and imported talent assures United a prosperous future. They also keep the 32-year-old on his toes. “It’s exciting to see so many good young players at the club,” Giggs said. “Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo have already made the step up and other lads will do the same. ”Illness marred the start of the season for Giggs but he has now assumed a new role in the team, switching from his natural left-wing position to that of playmaker to help fill a void in midfield.

What we require, in a theory that flirts worryingly with eugenics, are the unborn children of rich women.

“Grime is one of those genres that has proved quite exportable,”says Pradip Sarkar, aka Lord Lingham, the Melbourne DJ whointroduced it to the local airwaves via his PBS program TheGlobal Urban Show. “It has taken far less time for it to becomepopular in Australia than hip-hop took in the early days. While Australian DJs regularly play grime numbers in their sets,we don’t have our own home-grown grime acts — although Sydneygarage music trio Moving Ninja has experimented with the form. Butit is only a matter of time — and energy — before whatBritain’s Observer newspaper called “the most exciting newset of sounds we’ve heard for years” to find a home inMelbourne. “Any of the Melbourne bars who have hip-hop or dance-hall nightswould play grime,” says Sarkar. “And the CDs sell like hot cakes,especially the big acts that (have grime elements), like MIA or(her collaborator) DJ Diplo. Grime is informed by a homemade ethic and hurtling urgency.
