    The bull run is a disgraceful form of animal abuse masquerading as culture. The sooner it is banned, the better. These events are NOT one of Spain's better points.

    I love Benidorm , we sometimes go all inclusive for the night

    great fun !:)

    It was lovely last week, hotter than Tenerife, apparently :)

    Today, here in the West Midlands, it is cold and rainy, a typical English summer's day .

    We could do with some rain here !:)

    There are bush fires at the moment where I used to live in Spain. I hope all my friends and neighbours are OK :(

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Hey my Lord great to hear from you again !

    hows it hanging my friend ?

    Well, the weather hasn't been too shabby here of late Tony and there's Wimbledon and Le Tour to keep me amused :D

    Serious question - do you ever get fed up of wall to wall sunshine? It rained here the other day and, er, it was nice :o

    Glad to hear you're in great spirits as usual mate!
