A seasoned presenter on Spanish TV who has interviewed our Chief Minister before, reacted with incredulity and stupefaction at the news that their much revered Placido Domingo, had issued a press release to express his repentance over the accusations made against him; whilst only two months ago he was vociferously reiterating his innocence, in an interview in El Pais. His arrogance led him to say things like, how dare they say that about him! It was all fabrication, “un disparate.” Read more

Danger on the pavements
It is commendable that the minister for traffic wants to give the bicycle riders more lanes to travel along.

A friend sent me a link of a short documentary film of the Miss World 1970 by Pathe News, where I could be seen with some of the contestants visiting the sites in London. I did not know of its existence and it pleased me greatly to see it. Shortly after photos taken from said site appeared in a website that shows old photos of Gibraltar, which apparently created a lot of interest because Gibraltarians love to see anything about Gibraltar that relates to our past.

There will be times when you may have wondered if anyone out there is listening; if anyone is taking things in; because even when in the company of others, this appears not to be the case. How many times have you found yourself in someone’s company, say having coffee, and when you are about to respond to the question “so tell me, how have you been?” someone else approaches the table and addresses the person sat opposite you.
