Ive spent the best part of the last 16 months living in the Philippines prior to that I was in Thailand nearly six years.

Princess Anne has been doing great work for unicef, save the children, oxfam etc etc etc. for nearly 30 years. I cannont see two many of the "royalists' applauding her. Whilst I appreciate Diana was the medias darling and she did help to spotlight numerous courses due to her media presence I be...

After the riots in Bangers at the weekend things for the property guys have just got a whole lot worse. This was the third story on CNN and BBC. This was not a spat this was a proper scrap.
