Not sure of that. My Belgian passport does not mention skin colour. Don't know how it is in other countries, but mine only has name, last name, date of birth, nationality, gender, expiry date and my picture. I think most European passports follow the same line.

They really do come in threes, don't they. One of my favourite series. Think I'll take my dvd's out.

I'm from Belgium even though I haven't lived there for 13 years, but if I remember correctly the decision has to be signed by 2 doctors. Will do some research once I've got my heating going again.

It's not that bad that crops are failing, but you do notice that the grass is yellow. Ireland is also called The Emerald Isle and of course the green has to come from somewhere. Most of the winds that we have are westerly to Northwesterly, which of course comes in from the Atlantic. Before...

Typed this up before, but my computer decided to close down. Ireland (and maybe the UK as well) is officially in drought. This means it hasn't rained for 15 consecutive days. From what I remember it's been since 2003 that we had such a long period of good weather. There's a lot of...

Us Europeans have a few weeks to go. According to my calendar we change over at 2am on Easter Sunday :-)

Seems you can't delete it. When I try it, it says "There was an error removing this email." But you can change it back to the normal email address as primary address.

Further articles in today's newspapers. As per the spokesperson of the Swiss police, the driver was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs and it's doesn't seem that the driver was changing a DVD as per interviews of the police with the children. So it remains unclear whether it was a...

They are still checking it out. He certainly wasn't speeding, they have CCTV images to prove that. The coach was still fairly new and had a perfect maintenance track-record. But they are still checking whether the driver was taken ill or something else. I've read a rumour (but nothing...

If I remember correctly, the girl was Belgian, so they would be covered under the health insurance that all Belgians have. If they had taken out extra travel insurance (which I know many people in Belgium do when they travel outside Europe), there would have been some sort of cover. Of course...

Nova, I have. When I was growing up in Belgium, we had a horse butcher in the same street. Fresh meat was only available every 2 weeks or so, but he had smoked meat and other treated meats. I can actually say horse meat saved my life, well not actually saved my life, but helped me overcome...

Helen has been my favourite actress since I saw her on stage in London in 1993. Don't like all of her films (eg. I haven't seen Caligula), but if at 65 I look even half the way she looks now, I will be very happy. She rocks!

Thanks for posting the link. I wasn't sure whether we could watch it here in Ireland, but it worked fine. What a strong woman. She's amazing and I will be on the lookout for her book.

Re: Witness for the prosecution. I just went to check my book with Agatha Christie plays (different from the short story). In the play Leonard, after being acquitted, is murdered by Romaine - the woman who lied on the stand for him. Re: Casey. I still say we will see her again in court...

Followed it on CNN tonight over here and I am in tears. Didn't want to get drawn in, but I was though I didn't post. Am sick for Caylee, she did not have justice. But I think, even though Casey will get the interviews and the deals, she will just want to party and won't be smart with the...

Taken from Wikipedia on Censorship of books in Ireland : Censorship of booksUntil the 1970s, it was commonplace for books to be banned for containing violence, sex, cursing, references to birth control, based on Catholic teachings on sexual morality. Bannings were prompted by the Catholic...

Missizzy, books in Ireland were still heavily censored in the 1970's. I don't know for sure, but I think the office was only abolished in the 90's. So I don't think he would have been able to buy it normally in the bookstore. But there were always ways of course. People travelling to England...

Missizzy, of course he means talking about it. He never cared an ounce about the victims. If it was up to him, everything would be kept silent. O/T a bit, but when the previous archbishop - Godfried Danneels - was up for retirement it was hoped that another bishop who was more progressive...

And unfortunately one of those 2 boys is indeed among the casualties. According to an article today, he committed suicide.
