JIM KERR is laughing, remembering his band Simple Minds' 1985 performance at
Live Aid in Philadelphia.
Patting bandmate Charlie Burchill on the shoulder, he says: "My memories of
that day are being blown away that Jack Nicholson introduced us because no
one told us until we went on stage and that I was definitely having a bad
trouser day.
"Why did I buy those trousers?"
Tanned after a holiday in Santa Monica, California, the Scottish singer, now
52, is looking back over his band's 35-year history.
"There was definitely some awful hair and trousers but that day is the worst
of the lot. In my head I must have thought I was going yachting as they were
so bad."
Kerr has seen two high-profile marriages fail, both heavily scrutinised in the
He married singer Chrissie Hynde in 1984 and had daughter Yasmin but divorced
in 1990. Then he wed actress Patsy Kensit in 1992, had son James a year
later but divorced in 1996 — with Patsy marrying ex Oasis frontman Liam
Gallagher in 1997.
But his long-standing friendship with boyhood pal Charlie is one
relationship that has gone the distance.
Kerr jokes: "Aye, it's longer than any of my marriages but we don't sleep
"We don't even go on holiday together. Our relationship away from the band is
this — I send him hundreds of emails a month and he ignores them all."
Simple Minds were formed by the pals in 1977 from the ashes of punk band
Johnny & The Self-Abusers.
Critics may have fallen in and out of love with the band from Toryglen, south
Glasgow, but today they've come circle.
"It's OK to say you're a Simple Minds fan again," says guitarist Charlie, also
Kerr laughs: "A few years ago, if I was playing in London my kids would never
come or want to come. Now not only do they want tickets but tickets for
their mates too."
Now the band are about to release X5 — a box set of their first five albums
over six discs, all remastered and featuring rare bonus material.
The albums are: Life In A Day and Real To Real Cacophony, both released in
1979, Empires And Dance from 1980, Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Call
from 1981 and 1982's New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84).
And they're an essential part of the story of a band who have been hugely
influential over the years.
The Horrors acknowledge their own album Skying sounds like Simple Minds while
Manic Street Preachers frontman James Dean Bradfield recently said: "Real To
Real Cacophony and Empires And Dance — there's no one to touch them, in my
Also a fan, Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie said: "Real To Real Cacophony is
really hard European disco."
And Moby has declared "Barely a week goes by when I don't listen to one of the
first four or five Simple Minds albums."
Kerr and Burchill are in the middle of rehearsals for their upcoming tour
which kicks off in two weeks' time in Lisbon, Portugal, on which they will
play five songs from each of the first five albums.
And the albums show how experimental the band were, from the post-punk sound
of their debut through to New Wave to pop, Simple Minds never stuck with one
"We've noticed all the different styles in rehearsals and how the songs don't
sound dated," says Kerr.
"We flit through different styles but we've never lost our identity. It's
always Simple Minds." They've sold more than 60 million albums and were
among the world's biggest bands in the Eighties.
Yet while 1984's Sparkle In The Rain gave them their first No1 album, it's
these early albums many die-hard fans say are the best.
Burchill says: "Once we decided to form a band, every day was a step forward
for us.
"Even when we were dropped by Arista Records in 1980, we did what we always
did and just wrote another batch of songs."
Kerr adds: "We had a great manager who hid a lot of things from us — like we
were heading for the scrap heap and the debt we owed was colossal.
"But then Steve Strange (London club promoter) started playing
our song and our numbers came up.
"We were never really part of the New Romantics scene but we'd met John Taylor
and Simon Le Bon from Duran Duran as they were starting off.
"They told us they loved our song I Travel (from Empires And Dance)
and so when we heard their song Planet Earth we thought 'You bastards' — it
was very similar.
"Later we were mentioned alongside U2 as we were both big live bands and The
Cure were coming through at the same time. We were bands of that generation."
Being asked to support Peter Gabriel on his European tour had opened doors for
the band. Kerr and Burchill had also hitch-hiked across Europe as teenagers
and reckons that also gave them the desire to travel.
Burchill says: "Peter had just released his third solo album and he was huge.
It gave us the chance to see whether our music could work in the bigger
"But we were so skint," remembers Kerr. "We'd dive into his dressing room
when he went on stage, to eat all his food. He was vegetarian and it was all
this smelly cheese. We were from Glasgow so we'd never tasted it before. It
was, 'What's a kiwi fruit then?'"
Simple Minds' 1985 No1 hit Don't You (Forget About Me), the theme from
legendary John Hughes teen drama film The Breakfast Club, remains their
Ironically it's the one song they didn't write themselves. Kerr explains:
"We'd met Keith Forsey who wrote the song and thought he was a funny, mad
guy but had lost the cassette he'd given us. But then the label suggested we
did the song and, though we were touchy at first, we went ahead as we liked
"We'd played America but weren't getting past the college radio stage but that
song went to No1 over there. It was huge.
"I don't really drink but I went into this bar after hearing the news and
bought everyone a drink. I told the bartender we were No1 and he said he'd
never heard of us.
"I didn't care though and kept buying the best champagne. I had a terrible
head the next day and a bar bill to match."
Apart from founding members Kerr and Burchill — and drummer Mel Gaynor who has
been with the band almost constantly since 1982 — the Simple Minds line-up
has regularly changed.
Kerr and Burchill say the fame never went to their heads because of their
solid backgrounds.
"We were rock stars on stage but never off," says Kerr. "I remember being on
tour in America and talking to my mum.
"She said she'd bumped into Charlie's mum who said, 'That Charlie is away with
Jim in America and I don't think he's got any keys.' They brought us down to
"Even when I was married to Patsy, I ignored all the attention. We didn't do
red carpet events.
"Patsy was great and we'd have a laugh. One time she was asking me to go to
dinner at Michael Winner's house. Arnold Schwarzenegger was going too. She
said, 'I've got to go. It's my job.' And I said, 'Well it's my job NOT
to go.'"
Kerr blames non-stop touring and always being away as the reason both his
marriages failed.
But he remains good friends with both exes and says family is always his top
"I don't really have a home as such. I have my place in Sicily where I spend
time but my mum was poorly for the last few years so I was in Glasgow a lot.
And my kids are in London."
Sadly, Kerr's mother, Irene, died in 2010.
Kerr became a grandparent himself last year when daughter Yasmin gave birth to
twin boys.
His son James works for Pretty Green, the fashion label run by Liam Gallagher,
who was divorced by Patsy in 2000.
Kerr says: "James has all the cool hair and clothes while Yasmin is busy with
her boys. She's always been oblivious to it all.
"Her mum Chrissie was best friends with Linda McCartney and when she was about
seven she was telling me, 'Linda this. Linda that'.
"I didn't know who she was talking about until she said, 'Linda who is married
to the man who did the frog song'.
"She met Morrissey once and came back saying, 'He's a bit different. He
doesn't like kids.' I asked, 'How do you know that?' She replied, 'He told
us.' That made me laugh."
Simple Minds are also working on a new album. Kerr says it's been influenced
by going back to the vaults for X5, adding: "There will always be new music.
It's what we do. We'd never just do the nostalgia thing and become a musical
museum. You've got to keep adding chapters or else you calcify.
"It's important and rejuvenates you and every day is Day One.
"But for the moment we're enjoying being fashionable again. We like bands
like The Horrors so it's back to the future — for now anyway."
Simple Minds' X5 is out on February 20. Their UK tour dates begin at
Birmingham Academy on February 24.

A FAMILY fun day out led to Kathy Brown chucking in her IT manager's job and becoming a franchisee.
The 44-year-old from Farnham, Surrey, had become fed up with her daily commute to her central London office and wanted a more flexible career.
"It had taken a toll on family life," says Kathy, a mother of two daughters aged 17 and 13. "So I wanted something which gave me more time at home to spend with my children."
A day spent doing a treasure hunt led her to becoming the Greater London franchisee for nationwide firm Treasure Trail.
"I'd seen the company mentioned on Twitter and I've always loved treasure hunts, so I found out more," says Kathy.
"When I discovered there was a chance to run my own business doing treasure hunts I jumped at the chance. The timing really was perfect!"
Treasure Trails creates fun ways – such as murder mysteries, treasure hunts or spy missions – to explore villages, towns and cities inthe UK.
"It's a great way to earn a living. I combine my business background with doing something that I love," says Kathy.
"And being part of an established franchise system means I have the freedom to set my own priorities, within the security of an existing business model."
Kathy has prepared several London Treasure Trails – with a Westminster spy trail coming next – and makes money each time a family downloads or buys one. Franchisees also run corporate team building days or fun trips out for groups, such as hen parties.
There's also the chance to write trails for other organisations. The company is launching a Treasure Trails iPhone app by the Easter holidays for smartphone users.
"It's hard work but great fun," says Kathy, "and the enthusiasm and passion from head office really helps!"
The average initial investment needed to launch a Treasure Trails franchise is £7,500.

Holographic Vision
I slid on my shoes and pulled the door open slightly "bye Kairi." I said.
Kairi smiled "bye Paque." She replied softly. I turned around and swung the door wide open, and stopped with one foot out the door. Oh yeah, I should probably tell her she can call me if she wants to. I know sometimes at night she wakes up after a nightmare and can't get back to sleep because she thinks someone is trying to kill her.
"If you need anything, just call me." I stepped out of her house and closed the door behind me. I galloped down the stairs onto the paved driveway. Parked stiffly on the driveway was a black Camero. Kairi bought it for me on my sixteenth birthday because she thought that my first car should at least be a good one. I didn't want her to buy it for me at first but, she said that if I didn't accept it she would cry. I hate it when she crys so of course I accepted.
I gave a light jog over to the car then stopped to search my pockets for the keys. Finally finding them, I clicked the unlock button with a chirping noise following after. I practicly jumped in the car when I noticed it was starting to rain. I inserted the keys into the socket and twisted. The engine roared to life as did the windshield wipers. Turning to my left, I grabed the long strap and buckled myself in. I picked up a CD case on the other seat and inserted the disk into the stereo. The song Breaking The Habit by Linkin Park started up as I put the car into reverse and backed out of Kairi's driveway.
Kairi lived on a pretty sweet street. No fences, rather large yards, friendly nabours and most of all a quiet place.
I drove on the highway once I got off of her street. It was pitch black out and hard to see. Pulled over on my right was a police car and two other cars. A car accident probably, I wonder how it happened though.
I continued driving along on the highway. As the song came to the chourus I started to sing along in a quiet whisper.
"I don't know what's worth fighting for or why I have to scream. I don't know why I instigate and say what I don't mean. I don't know how I got this way, I know it's not alright. So I'm breaking the habit. Yes, I'm breaking the habit tonight." I then continued to hum the tune of the song.
Suddenly, I slammed on the brakes making everything in my body rush forward then hit hard back. The song stopped and was instantly replaced by static. It took a moment for my brain to adjust to what just happened as I stared down at a particular area on the road. The headlights on my car shinned down on the glistening stream of water. I can see why I slammed down on the breaks, the light from my headlights made the water look like broken glass.
I let out a sigh of relief and closed my eyes in relief. Once I opened my eyes though, my relief instantaneously faded. The water was no longer clear, but dyed blood red.
Then, as if out of nowheres, a holographic but smaller version of Kairi in a bikini clutching her neck while standing on her toes glitched in front of me. The urge of of reaching out and helping her burned throughout my body but I couldn't move. Not because I was in shock but because I literally could not move.
Her barely visible self vanished then glitched back with her falling to her knees with one of her arms raised weakly above her head.
"Somebody help me! I-I can't breathe!" She cried. The sound of her voice ringed in my head as though she were speaking to me inside my mind but, her lips wren't moving. There was no answer to her cry for help. She glitched away once more before she winced, and drowned. The holographic Kairi vanished as I took in a breath of air as though for the first time. What in the world? Kairi, she... No. It's late at night, I'm probably just tired. That, or I'm going crazy.
I blinked twice and noticed the water was clear again. I exhailed the breath I held in during my moment of shock and rested my head back on the car seat. That's right, I'm imagining things. Well, I'd better get back on track and start heading home again. I shook my head trying to forget about the terrible hallucination that I just saw. So I took the car off of its parked position and started back into the night on the long highway.

Norwich - When a hurricane, blizzard or other emergency is imminent, sirens blare warnings, municipal messenger systems call residents to warn of road closures or shelters opening.
And when the power goes out, many turn on battery-powered radios to keep informed.
For the region's deaf and hard of hearing residents, none of those options are of help. And if the power is out for an extended period of time, cellphones and pagers also die.
The state Department of Rehabilitative Services, the Norwich Emergency Management Department and the Disabilities Network of Eastern Connecticut will address these issues Saturday in the second of a series of workshops being offered statewide to improve services to deaf, hard of hearing and disabled residents during emergencies.
"You have a tendency to get tunnel vision when you're opening up a shelter," Norwich Emergency Management Director Gene Arters said. "You tend to forget about the needs of deaf and disabled people."
The seminar will run from 9 a.m. to noon at the Kelly Middle School auditorium and will feature a panel discussion with representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Southeastern Connecticut American Red Cross chapter, Norwich Emergency Management, and officials from the Disabilities Network of Eastern Connecticut and the state Department of Rehabilitative Services.
A meteorologist from the National Weather Service also will speak. Representatives from Sprint mobile phone company, 911 Dispatch to Millstone and Sorenson - a phone company for the deaf - will explain how to access services in a future emergency disaster.
Sign language interpreters and amplification devices will be available for deaf and hard of hearing attendees.
Barbara Cassin, senior rehabilitation counselor at the Norwich office of the state Department of Rehabilitative Services, said this is the first time the state is hosting such workshops. The first one was held at the American School for the Deaf in West Hartford last month, and "a good number" of deaf and hard of hearing people attended.
"It was also a learning experience for the Red Cross, FEMA and the meteorologist who spoke at the workshop as they learned what concerns the community had," Cassin said.
The group produced a DVD developed by the state Department of Public Health using deaf actors and actresses using American Sign Language informing about how to prepare for any emerging disaster. The video is available at www.twitter.com/ctdph or at www.facebook.com/dphct.That workshop was so successful that the group decided to host a second session in Norwich this Saturday and a third in Bridgeport on Sept. 28. Kelly Middle School was chosen because the recently renovated school serves as the emergency shelter for Norwich, Cassin said.
"It is wonderful that in spite of economic restraints, we have been able to pool funds from different resources to help pay for the cost of providing these workshops to the community," Cassin said.

... rode the funicular instead. From there we caught the train back to our little town, 6kms from where we started, and according to Marketa, we held the record for the season, return a full hour before the rest of her other groups did. Our reward was naps and showers before some of us tackled the next challenge; eating very large grilled pork knuckles.
Our escape in the mountains is complete and tomorrow we head towards the groups final spot, Budapest. ...
That time we climbed mountains and fought bears
... and there was no such thing as a "safety barricade". Rather, we were met with a 15m steel cross that was the site of many religious pilgrimages, including that of a group of 20-somethings that had been right behind us for the final ascent and made sure to stop for a mandatory selfie and a prayer once they reached the top. So even if you hadn't found God yet, there was no better opportunity than now!

Mentsuyu is Japanese soup base used in soba and udon noodle dishes. It's made from sake, mirin, soy sauce, kombu, and katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes).
There are two types of mentsuyu: kaketsuyu, which is poured hot over boiled noodles to make noodle soup, and tsuketsuyu which literally means "dipping soup" for chilled noodles.
Mentsuyu is usually sold concentrated, so dilute with water before using. The proportion of water used to dilute the soup base varies depending on the use. Usually 2-3 parts of water for 1 part of mentsuyu.
This mentsuyu recipe is also concentrated, so please adjust the soup base accordingly.
Here's the video on How To Make Mentsuyu (Noodle Soup Base) on my YouTube Channel! Enjoy!
For convenience, you can purchase Mentsuyu bottle from Japanese (or Asian) grocery stores or online.

- ½ cup sake
- 1 cup + 2 Tbsp. mirin
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 2x2 inch kombu
- 1 cup packed Katsuobushi
- In a medium saucepan, add sake and bring it to a boil over medium high heat. Let the alcohol evaporate for a few seconds.
- Add mirin and soy sauce.
- Then add kombu and katsuobushi.
- Bring it to a boil and cook on low heat for 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and set aside until cool down.
- Pass the mixture through a fine sieve and now Mentsuyu is ready to use. For a dipping sauce, you dilute the concentrated mentsuyu with water, either 2 or 3 parts water. For a soup base, you will likely dilute the concentrated with 4 or 5 parts water.
- Save the drained katsuobushi and kombu to make homemade Furikake (rice seasoning). Click here for the recipe.

After an Easter Tuesday off, Fresh Links is back with some excellent music-related internet detritus to help you waste valuable work hours.
What do you mean there's no Easter Tuesday? Hmmm... Well, whatever holiday that was, we enjoyed it.
Now, enjoy these:
· To say that Sufjan Stevens is to American hipsters what the Twang are to balding middle-aged Brummies - ie their bloody heroes - would not be stretching it. So no surprise, then, to find some Sufjian fan has smuggled in a camera of sufficiently keen frame rate to take a very nice piece of footage of the man playing a new song which doesn't have a name but is, according to the poster, 'gorgeous'.
· What would Spiderman listen to? Apparently, an unreleased Yeah Yeah Yeahs track... We feel moderately bad about succumbing to this movie marketing, but it's a good tune, and Stereogum did first.
· On the one hand, the authors of the new book Faking It: The Quest for Authenticity in Popular Music have a blog about just that subject. On the other hand, maybe it's just a promotional tool for their book and they've sold out. Discuss. [via Zoilus]
· You may not like Beyoncé's music, but slapping her mother in the face is taking that dislike a step too far. Let's hope celebrity-mother happy-slapping doesn't become some crazy new trend.
· The Washington Post tries a little experiment: Seeing if one of the world's best violinists playing in a subway station can make people stop and listen for a moment on their rush hour commute. The results are... surprising?
· Remember the Bravery? Of course not, but it was once thought to be a battle royale between themselves and the Killers for global domination. That's not to say the Killers won, they just didn't lose nearly as badly as the Bravery. Still, they're back and you can listen to their new track on their site: Time Won't Let Me Go.

Here are the rounds I tested the other day into my Gel I made, from left to right is Winchester PDX1, Speer Gold Dot, Winchester Ranger T series, and Federal HST, I will now only be using the Ranger T's and HSTs after this test, they did the most damage and opened up the best...
If you are referring to just bullets... Gold Dot, Ranger and HST. All are great proven bullets.

Whatever I grab. They all work. If a bullet fails, one of the other four I send ought to spread some.
Hornady XTP 45 185gr.
9mm 115gr FMJ pushed with 6.9 grains Hodgdon HS-6 and CCI primers.
In my 1911 I use my reloads using a cast 230 gr. RN bullet.
When I carry my 44 spcl I load it with my reloads using a cast 245 gr. SWC.
I used to sweat the details and spend too much on 'carry' ammo.
When you're shooting paper targets, you really don't get a feel for what's happening, so you're left to rely on the information and marketing that's available out there.
When you're shooting on private property at more interesting targets (car doors, cinder blocks, wood, cans, jugs & don't forget critters (ya gotta eat too)), you get a better sense of what those ft-lbs and bullet types equate to on the receiving end.
Brand names aside, I've come full-circle back to preferring simple, heavy bullets. Soft metals like lead do horrific things on soft targets. Putting a jacket on them, lets you run them a little faster. Hollow points are even better if you don't need to penetrate any critter armor, and it's going fast enough to expand. Big bullets generally make bigger holes than small bullets. The rest is minutia where I find my time is better spent on refining my shooting skills.
It seems like everybody's answer is the same in every thread asking which bullet or carry round is the best.
For me, Federal HST across the board. Winchester's Ranger-T and Speer's Gold Dot are also very good choices.
HST; Ranger-T; Gold Dots (for the most part) in the heaviest weight available for the caliber (147 in 9mm and 230 in .45). Whichever I currently have on hand.
My revolvers mainly get, as mentioned above, a .38+P SWCHP. I'm using Federals, as a got a great deal on a case a few years back.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Combines commercially available products with specialty hardware or software to create a computer system designed to meet the needs of a specific industry.
If you own a video rental store and wan to automate the rental process, the best type of vendor may be a VAR that offers a complete hardware and software package package tailored to the video rental business.
VARs are the most expensive channel for hardware and software, but their expertise can be crucial to ensure that the hardware and software work right, in a specific environment.
Vendor takes orders from telephone or internet sites, then ships the products to the customers' homes.
Generally offer low prices, but are limited in services and support.
Best source for buyers who are unlikely to need assistance with their products.
Experienced users who can install and setup software, and do their own trouble-shooting would benefit most.
A computer retail store is often the best shopping option for buyers who wil need assistance after their purchases.
A huge disadvantage would be the retail-stores' prices on hardware would reflect the stores' purchasing of merchandise from distributors, maintaining a retail storefront, and hiring a technically qualified staff.
Hardware manufactures who sell their products directly to their consumers.
Usually targets large corporate or educational consumers.
For example, Dell allows customers to configure their own builds, then Dell ships the custom machines to their customers. Manufactures can make more profit this way.
Manufacturers must provide customers with tech-support, a costly service.

Lost In Kiev • Nuit Noire [2xLP]
Release date: Sept. 2nd, 2016. Limited release (250 ex.)
Lost In Kiev from Paris, France released their first full album Motions on dunk!records in 2013 and proved their live skills at dunk!festival in 2013 and 2014.
Their progressive energy leads to oneiric epic post-rock while still emitting the massive energy of post-rock. Their influences are Russian Circles, Red Sparowes, 65daysofstatic, Cult of Luna, Maybeshewill, Mogwai,...
Nuit Noire, their second full album, is an anthem of the night. Odes to nights of dreams and nights of loneliness that also becomes mystical. The stories (written and recorded by the band) will immerse you in each of these Nuits Noires. As you can deduct from their influences Lost In Kiev's origins are firmly grounded in post-rock. However, more direct layouts of the new tracks, a more airy sound and an electronic touch will reveal their new direction.
"If you love post-metal then make sure not to miss this incredible release." — Will Not Fade
"Nuit Noire pushes Lost in Kiev's songwriting to an entirely new level, showcasing their ability to write dynamic compositions that seamlessly merge sprawling instrumentation and mood setting samples to weave a compelling narrative." — Tometal

What is this thing called love? By which, of course, I don't mean "companionate love" (boring except to the likes of Mike Leigh) but that euphoric and ephemeral obsession with another individual that so has a hold on the rest of us.
The American psychologist Dorothy Tennov termed this condition "limerence", and established the accuracy of popular ideas about it through interviews with 500 limerents. Its characteristics turned out to include such reassuringly poetic manifestations as an aching of "the region in the centre front of the chest", a "sometimes incapacitating" shyness in the presence of the love-object, and "a feeling of walking on air" when reciprocation seems at hand.
Familiar though the phenomenon may be, it's fraught with paradox. The Jungian analyst Robert Johnson suggested that romantic love isn't actually love at all as otherwise understood "but a complex of attitudes about love – involuntary feelings, ideals, and reactions". It's an obstacle to genuine relationship as it requires attachment to an idealised avatar instead of to a real person.
Limerents are sure their love will last for ever, yet it rarely endures much more than a year. Still, to limerents, the experience of others means nothing. Though they adhere to an immutable cultural script, they believe their reality to be unique.
Apparently, it's the interaction of brain chemicals norepinephrine and dopamine that gives rise to the phenomenon. Evolutionists imagine that nature's purpose is to pair up genetically suited individuals and then bind them to each other throughout the infancy of their children. Human babies need lots of post-natal care, but once they've been weaned, the innate commitment device yoking their parents together can safely be switched off.
Be all of this as it may, none of it explains the pre-eminence we accord this particular passion amongst the various urges and appetites to which our flesh is heir. Many people long to experience it more than anything else. In its name, they make extreme sacrifices and sometimes perpetrate grave transgressions. Yet in the western world, their behaviour is not just endorsed but actively encouraged.
Nowhere is romantic ardour promoted more enthusiastically than in the movies. They've flourished by embracing it – and here may lie the key to our own love affair with love. Perhaps it bestows on us the same bounty as it does the silver screen.
Cinema has created a whole genre to profess the primacy of romantic love and to champion its false promise of a happily ever-after. Maybe however, it's those films that revel instead in the anguish spawned by our favourite feeling that provide the clearest clue to the nature of its hold.
Rachel Weisz's Hester in The Deep Blue Sea can take her place among the more satisfyingly tormented of big-screen limerents. To be reduced, by incontinent attachment to a bounder from wedded gentility, to attempted suicide in an undesirable postcode doesn't sound nice. Terence Rattigan's dialogue pitches the call of wantonness against the case for circumspection. However, there's never any doubt about which side of the argument the camera's going to back.
In real life, the aftermath of an overdose isn't usually pretty, but Hester's dainty bout of vomiting is almost fetching. Her dreamy submission to a shilling's worth of oblivion makes you feel short-changed by our own disobligingly harmless North Sea gas. Certainly, the greater the ignominies heaped on Hester, the more starrily Weisz scintillates.
It's left to Hester's mother-in-law to urge resistance to the dopamine rush. "Beware of passion, Hester," she intones. "It always leads to something ugly." Of course, it's the heartless mother-in-law who's actually shown to be ugly, in both soul and body.
Hester's landlady is into companionate love, but according to her the highlight of this pursuit is wiping your ailing partner's bottom. During her amatory odyssey, Hester encounters sundry unpleasantness but no real ugliness.
On the contrary, the film insists that Hester's life choice imbues her with a kind of preternatural glory. Limerence liberates her from the ennui of the sublunary, comfortable though the latter might be. In the real world, it enables the rest of us to star equally brightly in imagined movies of our own.
According to Johnson, when we are in love "we feel uplifted, as though we were suddenly raised above the level of the ordinary world. Life has an intensity, a glory, an ecstasy and transcendence." We become "entranced, mesmerised … with a mystical vision, but of something separate and distinct from our human selves".
So there it is. We've turned infatuation into a religion. Thank you, cinema, for your contribution to this dubious achievement.

Hi, I'm Sydney, I spend at least half my life in the offices of Speakers Corner, where my day consists of pondering the leading lights within the speaker industry. I get particularly excited when personalities I have seen on TV come knocking on the Speakers Corner office door.
