  3. We're lovin' it (not) 1

    I am not polyamorist, or gay or bisexual, and I cannot imagine being persuaded to sleep with someone of the same sex. But I am surprised at Peter Leapman's response to Meg Barker (Letters, January 21...

  4. We're lovin' it (not) 2

    Do we really need the likes of Meg Barker dictating to students and lecturers alike what they can and cannot do in their spare time. Presumably, as consenting adults, both students and lecturers are...

  5. We're lovin' it (not) 3

  6. We're lovin' it (not) 4

    Barker and Leapman are clearly anxious to generate a controversy around the euphoniously titled polyamory, but the issues at stake really aren't up to it. She was provocative; he was provoked - end...

    The chickens have come home to roost at the University of Wales ("Watchdog reissues warning for Wales", January 21). For the past 15 years, we have urged the university to take its role in...

  10. Humour bypass? 1

    How come John Armitage, co-editor of Cultural Politics , doesn't find Laurie Taylor funny (Letters, January 21)? If, deep down, he fears that his journal might come into the professor's sights, the...

  11. Humour bypass? 3

    And I think it is about time that somebody told John Armitage that he does not have a sense of humour and has not had one for quite a number of years now. Charles Oppenheim Loughborough University

  12. Humour bypass? 2

    And I think it is about time for the silent majority to speak up: those of us who, when inundated with work, have still made time to read Laurie Taylor's column. How often we have smiled in quiet...

  13. Humour bypass? 4

    John Armitage is to be pitied if he doesn't find Laurie Taylor funny. I'm not an academic but my wife is. My eavesdropping indicates he has his finger on the pulse of academe. But perhaps reality in...
