    Sounds really interesting! local, notorious... great subject matter. I'd like to sign on for this one.

     

    I wonder, though, did he do enough (notorious as he was) to fill 10 weeks? :hihi:

     

    Hi Plaintalker - I am having problems cutting down the materials.

     

    There are 2 murder trials alone to cover that were covered in great detail by the press at that time.

     

    Peace ticks so many boxes for 19c crime and media it is quite incredible...

     

    ...and notorious:twisted:

    Here is the blurb for the course

     

    Charlie Peace: Criminal Fall, Cultural Rise.

     

    The course is a ten week investigation into the life of one of the most notorious criminals of the nineteenth century. Using primary and secondary evidence we examine Peace within the context of nineteenth century Sheffield and against a backdrop of Victorian crime and penal reform. We examine Peace's burglary in Sheffield, his murder of a police constable in Manchester, the Dyson killing , arrest in London and his subsequent sensationalised trial. The second part of the course examines media coverage of Peace through the mediums of film, newspapers, comics, penny dreadfuls, museum commemoration and music hall. The course draws upon the disciplines of History, Criminology and Media Studies.

    As previously mentioned in the thread, I am currently teaching a WEA course, 'The Sheffield Pals and The First Battle of The Somme'.

     

    We have had a number of people sign up for the course via the Forum, which has been terrific.:)

     

    Just to say we have started a course blog - this is a multi author blog for people on the course to post their thoughts, pics etc.... It is early days for the blog but I thought a few of you who regularly contribute to the thread may want to have a quick look....you will find the blog at this link

     

    http://sheffieldpals.blogspot.com/

     

    Please feel free to leave your thoughts in the comment boxes. We have just started to add to the links on the page that may help people in their own research projects/interest about Sheffield City

     

    As part of the course we are planning a walking tour of Redmires with the help of Sheffield University - if anyone out there is interested then please pm me

     

    It is anticipated that this 10 week course will run again after the Xmas break, if anyone is interested

     

    Thanks:thumbsup:

    Think its the selectors that should be dropped. You pick an unknown to spearhead your attack and you will concede runs. Vaughan is on a bad trot at present but he will recover.

     

    I cannot see anyone leading England in the present set up. The 'burden' of the England captaincy has always dampened the captains ability to score runs (see Brearley)

     

    It must be remembered that this South African side is top notch and they will find our weaknesses. I am more worried about our thin bowling line up rather than our batting at present.

    I see the WEA have a course running on the pals

     

    'The Sheffield Pals and the First Battle of the Somme'

     

    In September 1914 Sheffield responded to Kitchener’s nationwide recruitment of volunteer soldiers. These volunteers formed what became known as ‘Pals Battalions’. This course examines the formation of the Sheffield City Battalion, 12th Yorks and Lancs. Through an exploration of primary and secondary sources we trace Sheffield City from their initial training at Redmires to their action on the Somme in July 1916.

    Apparantley Horseface's goal was allowed and legal because an italian played him onside even though he was off the field of play on the floor behind the goal.

    Due to new Uefa rulings the player is still considered active even though he is off the field

    What a load of crock............its Uefa cocking up football again

     

    As soon as you cross the white line and the ref blows his whistle - you are in active play, until you have permission to leave the field. This is a very old rule

     

    Simple really....

    I think your right dude, after all, it isn't any of the 23 players decision to play 4-5-1 against Wigan who are 3rd from bottom when playing in front of their home fans at Anfield! Nor is it the players fault that Babel was not even on the bench against Wigan after looking really impressive, whilst Pennant (who has not kicked a ball for 3 months) was given a full game in which he couldn't have possibly be expected to make much of an impact!

     

    Benitez is making some strange decisions lately and after I have defended him numerous times on here, I can't help feeling that maybe it's time to let someone else take the reigns, a man who will let the players play with freedom?

     

    Alex Ferguson took over at Old Trafford in 1986 - he delivered the Premiership in 1993. It took seven years.

    But it doesn't. Beckham practised those free-kicks hour upon hour for what .. twenty years now? And he still misses most of the time.

     

     

    It's LUCK that makes them occasionally fly into the corner.

     

    Was it Lee Trevino who was accused by a journalist of being lucky after holing from off the green to deny Jacklin a major.

    Trevino laughed and and replied.."its funny, the more I practise the luckier I seem to get"

     

    For my two penneth...Kaka is the best player in the world but Ronaldo is catching him up with every game he plays

    There seems to be a very devided opinion about Gerrard on here!! Some say Liverpool are a one man team and that Gerrard is their driving force. They claim everything goes through Steven and without him Liverpool are nothing! However the other section of posters (like yourself) claim he is very inconsistent and that he is frequently on the fringes of games.

    I would say (putting on my red tinted glasses) that basically, he is nothing short of world class and would walk into any team in world football :D

     

    Concur

     

    I also think that Gerrard is not the finished article yet - he has a few years before he reaches his peak

     

    Name the top sides in the world and he would be in the starting eleven every time - overrated:hihi:
