  • World Cup in Qatar !

    There must have been deals done by the FIFA executive committee which gave the votes to Qatar for the 2022 World Cup finals.

  • Heated Roads is the Answer to Snow Chaos

    December 2009 and January 2010 were bad winter months for snow and ice here in the UK. This country can’t cope with transport chaos that snow causes. Our roads are over crowded so that when we do get snow cars grind to a halt. Even our trains don’t seem to like snow and our airports…

  • England lose 2018 World Cup

    It would have been great if England had won the right to stage the 2018 World Cup but instead it has been awarded to Russia. Does this mean that the so called “Iron Curtain” has lost its final piece ? I watched the England bid live on TV and it was very impressive. Prince William,…

  • Cosmetic Dental Treatment in Turkey

    It was 2 years ago when I was on holiday in Kerala that I discovered that if you wanted cosmetic dental surgery it was better and cheaper to go abroad. India has some of the best trained doctors and dentists in the world and the Leela Kempinsky hotel in Kovalam that I was staying at had…

  • No Frills Airlines Really Annoy Me

    I have written before about no frills airlines and their marketing tactics and especially the hidden costs of flights. Here is another example.
