But thousands of other people had the same idea so it was a slow crawl through the streets of Figeac, in the Lot, before I found myself about 7km from the end of the race. The village of Saint Jean ...

The Promises and Lies of Nicotine/p> Nicotine is a main component of cigarettes and a huge reason why we keep on reaching for those 'poison sticks.' Let's just be blunt: nicotine is a drug, and it is very easy to get hooked. Once nicotine addiction becomes part of your life it is extremely difficult to shake it off and get back to normal. Most people wrongly think that it is only narcotic drugs that are addictive. This is a very wrong notion indeed. Nicotine too is as addictive as any narcotic. Just like any other drug, it ...

English Slang For Perplexed TouristsI watched the British version of 'Big Brother' recently. That's the television show which is a human hamster cage. Viewers go 'ooh' and 'aah' over the one they like or dislike, and vote to decide who leaves the house. In the interim, the contestants do tricks for the amusement of the public. The last man in gets £100,000. The production company makes millions. All contestants lose any shred of dignity and anonymity. The 2005 version had an Essex boy and Essex girl on it; modern cockneys. Their ...
