News Quickies

Some more news snippets before I'm off with the family for a short trip.




The first one revolves on Kate Middleton, the apple of Prince William's eye, who has been hounded by the paparazzi, not unlike Princess Diana who met her tragic death ten years ago, whilst on the run from these blood-thirsty parasites. Let's hope Kate (as she is known in the UK) rise above the scrimmage and remain undaunted by the constant limelight.

The second one examines the rationale behind women's hidden spending from their spouse or partner. Despite the advance of women's libs and women's earnings power, the stereotype that "women are supposed to be altruistic and put others first and aren’t supposed to lavish on themselves" still persists.

The third concerns the hilarious but effective method experimented by one woman to 'train' her so-called difficult husband. This hits close to home since I've been on the receiving end of one of these techniques - albeit a crude version - for some time now. Hah!

Last but not least, is the latest situation comedy on offering in Canada "Little Mosque on the Prairie" - a humorous take on Muslims living in a prairie town in Saskatchewan - as well as the prejudices attached to and, skewed (yet inane) generalisations imposed on their daily existence in today's post 9/11 world.

Have fun reading! See you when I get back!
