http://www.visitpalestine.info/index.asp European-Israeli ties: A story of sympathy and ambivalence, 13/05/2008 01:47
"and so far, Gibraltarian officials have not responded to Spain's accusations. "

What is the point of responding to an accusation?
The Spanish government conduct towards Gibraltar, as far as I have read in the news, is nothing short of scandalous, and something that the Spaniards ought to be rather embarrassed about. Spain will do its upmost to 'take-back' Gibraltar from its inhabitants whether it is by economic blockage (re: 1970s and 1980s) to childish accusations. Its one of the few European member states that have a border distpute with all of its neighbouring countries, such as Portugal France Gibraltar, and just over the sea with Morocco. Maybe they do not know that they have been absorbed into the EU and now are a rubber stamp provisional government; The same as all of the member states. Why Spain wants to see Gibraltar back on the tax-haven blacklist, 12/05/2008 12:53
I'm sorry!! I cannot help but think that THERE IS INDEED something wrong in Austria...Why Them AGAIN!??? PLEEZZ..the public are not stupid,And they don't forget. I will NEVER visit that country because when I visit Europe I want to NOT think of Elizabeth's pain of 24 years. I'll rather go ANYWHERE else....not Austria, Not in the next 20 years.

I'm glad of anything that interrupts their performances. No-one should support these cruel circuses. Animals like lions and tigers deserve to live in the wild, not in cages for our amusement. Snow collapses French circus tent, 10/05/2008 05:21
Forget green but go for colour - we a mainly wild garden with local flowering 'weeds' and plants 'borrowed' from successful neighbouring gardens - and we don¡t use much water. We do get quite a few wild tomatoes but as we make our own compost we know where they come from. My back garden, 10/05/2008 10:38
