You would be able to get it if you picked up a UK proxy ... that disguises where you are and fools iPlayer, although I'm sure they'll address that sooner or later

Is it any wonder. . . . . . .
 
. . . . . . that a lot of people on B.E. are facing the problems they are when this is the 'state' of the politicians in Goa (see link below & short extract from the article) - now I'm not saying the U.K. is anything like perfect but at least the corruption is not as overt & blatant. . . . . . . . .

PANAJI: The ruling Congress in Goa might have been embarrassed after state education minister Atanasio Monserrate’s son was charged of raping a minor and the minister himself was booked for abatement to crime, but there is no dearth of such politicians in the state. The 40-member assembly has many ministers and MLAs who have been booked under various criminal cases, including murder. Here’s a look at the ‘rogues’ gallery’.

hi its katrina & john

look we bought in goa two years ao having fallen in love, its villa maria acron.
we are quite happy with whats happening so far and hopefully it will stay like it. we are late fifties but quite worldlywise. we have an anglo-indian friend who will put it in his name if we have a problem with visas etc.

i would appreciate the name of the furntiure making guy out of state, sorry cuoldnt find the post again.

we found furniture and electrical items expensive last year when we were looking in relation to everything else. we currently live in the uk, near folkestone (10 mins to the channel tunnel) and spend a lot of time in france.

i cant start my own blog so im hoping you can help us until i can.

if you have any links or any information that you think is essential to our safety, wallets and anything good, please let me know either on here or on my personal email which is(SNIP)

some of the best food we have tasted is at i think its called chappys - there is no name. come out of morjim beach road, at the t junction turn right and its immediately there on the right next door to a kingfisher bar.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 
why shouldnt someone put links in when the heading is 'in today's newspapers'?

i couldnt get the link to work so briefly please what was the article and in what paper - thanks.

by the way, on a radio prgramme recently it asked what company of approx 700 employees was this

(I am making this up but its not too far away from the truth)

convicted rapists 7
fraud convictions 24
bankrupts 9
assault

and so it went on and on and on, if i can find it again i will post the whole article. i was shocked and so were quite a few others. hopefully you get my drift as it covered virtually everyone.

scroll down for the answer










british members of parliament!!!!

Will you please stop making pointless throw away comments meant to wind people up.

There is no rule against posting newspaper article links to relevant articles.

Shattering! suppose we are all getting older. 20 years ago we would have been on the beach the same day. Never mind have six months to catch up.
Computer so slow, not like the traffic on the roads. Wondering why Kingfisher has gone up so much 65 75 80 , wholesale the same price? Oh just have another Honey Bee, and good night.
