Probably due to the advancement of my years and my general air of authority many people ask me for advice throughout a season. Which is the this? How do you do that? I think it has something to do with me having 'tourist information' tattooed on my forehead.Generally, thanks to the intoxicated state of the workers and the loud music on the opening night of Kalico, such an
Instead of being delivered to the Croisette in Cannes this Azimut motor yacht has done a bit of Titanic and has run aground on some ice. Purely as an advertisement for their wares.

Fortunately, depending on how you look at it, this is not one of the many references to global warming. Unfortunately it refers to the diminishing number of English bars in 1850. At the end of last winter Gringos was destroyed as part of the major Padisha redevelopment. The latest casualty is bar LÃÂEquipe which wonÃÂt be opening for the 2007-08 season. After many (unf
