Very interested to read this Reuters story about an employee of the French bank Societe General who managed to be quite sneaky… and get away with gambling £37 Billion pounds, that’s 50 billion Euros, of the bank’s money. Cheeky chap.
It’s silly money we’re talking about here. More “than the gross domestic product of Morocco”. And [...]

A friend got me into this show. He makes films – the latest one won some awards too. With my limited knowledge of TV, as far as I am aware Trailer Park Boys has never been aired in the UK, although I’d hazard a guess it has reached or is about to reach homes in [...]

Personally, I would like to see Tsonga win. He seems a sweet natured lad. And it’s not his fault he’s French . Go Tsonga!
In the match we’ll have a quick mover with powerful serves versus… another quick mover with large serves. Just how quick is Tsonga? Well against Nadal, who seems to be one [...]

Here’s a blow by blow account of the Djokivic Federer match…
Thank you to Paolo Bandini (Guardian Unlimited).
Long live the king!
Oh dear.
Djokovic beat Federer 7-5, 6-3, 7-6 (7-5)
Ah the stoic Swiss. To have that sense of perspective and grounded philosophy… “I think he made the more important points today, it was a bit unfortunate for me,” Federer admitted. [...]
Tsonga hands Nadal a beating the likes of which he’s never seen

Right at this moment I’m following the scores (great, great pity I cannot see the match) of the Nadal Tsonga match, watching with disbelief as the in-form Nadal takes a beating the likes of which he’s never seen. No excuses, no injuries, simply seems like Tsonga got his number and just steam-rolled through him. Is [...]

A little while back I was interested to read the below article about the best places to live in the world.
My ears tend to prick up at these sorts of surveys. I’ve lived in two countries, and visited many, mostly as a child. I enjoy travelling, and would do it more if finances and time [...]
