The euro crisis: the screw tightens

Kipp used to watch an ‘80’s old British television show ‘Allo ‘Allo-there was one character who couldn’t speak French, but pretended to: “It is a mighty cick-up.” When we think of the Eurozone crisis, we can’t help but recall the words of Officer CrabTree: it is all a mighty cick-up. Here is what the Economist has to say about it: “At best, the result may be a credit crunch that leaves businesses unable to get loans and invest. At worst, some banks may fail—and trigger real bank runs in countries whose shaky public finances have left them ill equipped to prop up their financial institutions.”

When Allysa was reunited with her dog

When a British expat family had to leave their dog behind as they left Dubai for the UK, there was one very upset 11 year old in the Smith family. So it was an excellent idea to keep a camera in hand when the family paid out more than £1,300 to reunite the two. Some have called this video a tear jerker, but even though we merely grinned why not take a look at this?
