The Transport & General on the left and the engineers and electricians on the right will demand at the Blackpool conference

The Transport & General on the left, and the engineers and electricians on the right, will demand at the Blackpool conference this week that Congress House refocuses its energies.The proposition recognises the 'lack of discrimination in the ever-growing list of campaigns with which the TUC is burdened'. I was, however, rather perturbed to read of one of my pupils that, as she didn't live with her parents, 'there's no one to do anything about it', 'it' being her poor eating habits. A fish dinner and a bottle of Chardonnay '93, after which the lovely Marilyn would sing 'Crazy' and 'Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey'.''That would be quite improper,' said Frank. No last-minute equaliser for United this weekend, then, but for neutrals the Premiership contest grows more compelling by the day.(Photograph omitted). Bifu is responding to the Ombudsman's annual report published last November, which raised the problem of pressures on staff to sell insurance products, and called for separate training on banking ethics. The union fears that the scrapping of traditional across-the-board pay deals and automatic annual rises will mean more high-pressure selling of financial products.Lloyds Bank moved to performance-related pay for its 45,000 staff last year. This requires better human-resources management than we often have now.

'We are all of us in shock,' said Danny Hizni, a settler in Beit Hadassah, as his wife, Ruti, a recent immigrant from Reading, ushered their children inside 'All of us knew this man well He was a good man He had helped so many people as a doctor He had had the blood of so many Jews on his hands Sometimes people just want revenge.'(Photograph omitted). 'It has to be a total package, the guy has to be good-looking, too.'Cliff eased the swelling of my bruised ego 'Women get 55 per cent more calls than men,' he announced. The company comprises the original Rothmans tobacco businesses and certain trademarks previously owned by Dunhill and Richemont. Vendome, however, climbed 15p to 334p with a 25.5 per cent fall in pro forma profits to pounds 104.4m not as bad as feared.The drop was exacerbated on conversion of the results into sterling, with the underlying picture in Swiss francs showing an 8.8 per cent rise to Sfr233m.The company's luxury goods brand names include Cartier, Montblanc pens and Chloe and Karl Lagerfeld fashions.The difference between Rothmans' performance and analysts' predictions was mainly due to pounds 16.7m of reorganisation costs. The deal included the unprecdented step of using British military police alongside HVO military police to ease the passage of convoys, in addition to normal deployment of liaison officers.The convoy was expected to leave Tomislavgrad at first light today. The 3.5 million- strong National Labour Congress (NLC), the oilworkers' union, and the largely middle-class Campaign for Democracy have called strikes for tomorrow to try to force the military to quit office.Hundreds of journalists in Lagos, the commercial centre, began a one- day strike yesterday to protest at new decrees banning at least 10 publications, imposing stiff sentences for anyone publishing 'false reports', and forcing newspapers to undergo a rigid registration process.The Information Minister, Uche Chukwumerije, responded to the strike calls by threatening to abolish compulsory union membership.The Nigerian government announced late last night a 900 per cent increase in prices for top-grade fuel, a move human rights groups had predicted the authorities would make to create chaos and justify an extension of military rule..

The 'A' shares rose a further 25p to 2,043p, a peak.Whitbread, the brewer, is another where enfranchisement hopes are evident The low-voting 'A' shares jumped 17.5p to 533p. Now, in his scenes with Russo, he yields a lot of his armour.All right, I know the secret service wouldn't keep a 63-year-old on protective duty, and I know a man that age isn't going to do more than amuse Rene Russo. In the words of Filippo di Simone, a director of Schenk, the Swiss company, and probably the largest international wine merchant: 'We tailor our products to fit the need of each specific client.'An even more extreme case is Hugh Ryman, whose father bought an estate 20 years ago on the proceeds from the sale of the family stationery business. With around 2,600 members, many of them in top positions in politics, the secret services, the police, the judiciary, the press and other key professions, Gelli - or the shadowy figures who may have been manipulating him - had a network capable of controlling, or at least strongly influencing, public life.During the investigations the names of 950 members were found. Both were founding partners in Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment and had worked as producers on ET, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Back to the Future. Taylor will not even be at Wembley today, preferring to visit Italy to talk with David Platt, who the manager says is to be captain until at least next season.The controversy over Waddle's omission is accentuated by Taylor's insistence that John Barnes is included.

How could more arms reach the Muslims hemmed in by the Croats and Serbs and isolated from the outside world? And to what extent are the Muslims trained and able to make use of them? Yesterday's reports of intense fighting between Muslims and Croats around Vitez, with both sides using multiple-rocket launchers, cast doubt on the view that the Muslims lack heavy weapons. However, clerks said there were signs that the number of cases had picked up slightly in recent weeks.In Birmingham, the number of serious cases handled last January was 22 per cent lower than in the previous year: in Coventry, the reduction was even higher, at 25 per cent.In Manchester, the number of serious cases, such as burglary and possession of drugs, heard by magistrates in the first two months of this year fell by 35 per cent compared with January and February 1992. National Power says its landed price in the Thames estuary is pounds 1 to pounds 1.20 a gigajoule, compared with the pounds 1.85 the generators are currently paying for British coal, and the pounds 1.50 they are likely to pay from next March.But because of transport costs, imports are competitive only in power stations close to suitable specialised ports. Aston Martin was also acquired by the Ford Motor Company, Vauxhall has been part of General Motors for some time and Bristol is in receivership.Although some specialist car manufacturers remain British - among them Rolls-Royce (part of Vickers), Lotus, Morgan, TVR and Panther - their paltry output is little more than a trickle into the sea of global car manufacturing.I'm sure the sales directors at Ford and Honda are doing their best to improve the market shares of Jaguar and Rover, but Mr Miller should hope that they do not try too hard, otherwise our trickle will soon be little more than a drip.Yours faithfully,OLIVER BONDLondon, EC112 October.

A League of Their Own does touch on the initial resistance to the idea of women taking over the national sport - stout behatted matrons bridling at the threat to femininity - but it loses sight of what happened after the war.True, Rosie was pressured out of the workplace, but sport is a different matter; it's spectacle, show-business almost, and we have always had a place for women there. Under sanctions, no planes are allowed to fly into Belgrade.Even today there is no single Serbian opposition leader on whom hopes are focused. If it is planted properly it will blast to damnation any person or persons attempting to build over it. A two-burner gas cooker, gas light and sink, with a large plastic jerry can for water, completed the facilities.Gipsy was a friendly horse, which was just as well since our limited experience with horses meant that harnessing and unharnessing her took a considerable time.A draught horse's harness is much heavier than even the biggest riding saddle and has to be manoeuvred into exactly the right place. 'Men will be returning from the front having not seen their family for more than a year They will have changed. Only Francisco Araiza, perhaps stale after playing in Rigoletto last month, sounded strained, the voice disappointingly harsh.
