Now we have the Furore at Avenida Federico Garcia Lorca; after all the works carried out over the past few months, all the new roads and pavements were mysteriously dug up again. Then the road was re-laid. Ideal reports that the initial works were ‘liable to subsidence;’ therefore it was sensible to dig it all up and start over again.

by Editor •
If your daughter came home and told you she was dating a boy who had a skinhead haircut and lots of tattoos, one of which was a picture of Jack the Ripper, the masked murderer from London in the 19th century, what do you think you would say? No chance!
World Cup Hangover
by Marianne Lindahl •
I am not ashamed of admitting it: I am a soccer-crazy grandmother with a typically female approach to the game. I watched every game on television during the World Cup and I know the names and peculiarities of all eleven players in the Spanish national team La Furia Roja.
