Tourism? It’s Just National Prostitution!

This is what Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth’s husband said during their trip to Slovenia. I guess, in his mind, South East Asia countries like Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand must have been prostituting themselves for a long long time. And these prostitutes love the PRC!

Prince Philip has branded tourism ‘national prostitution’ in his latest unfortunate gaffe.

He made the shocking comment to a professor during his State visit with the Queen to Slovenia last week.

Dr Maja Uran revealed that the 87-year-old Duke told her: ‘Tourism is just national prostitution.’

He went on: ‘We don’t need any more tourists. They ruin cities.’

The Atlas Of Death

This is a very interesting map.

The geographical pattern of mortality in Great Britain over the past quarter century has been mapped for the first time, revealing how each of us is most likely to die depending on where we live. The Grim Reaper’s Road Map: An Atlas of Mortality in Britain shows exactly how people’s deaths are affected by where they live, how much money they have, the type of work they do and their lifestyle.

Dorling studied 14,833,696 death records to produce the maps, which show the standardised mortality ratios of every town and city in Britain from 1981 to 2004. The first map in the atlas is of all deaths that have taken place in Britain over the past 24 years. This is then broken down into nine causes, including all cancers and all deaths related to transport. Those maps are then subdivided into 99 categories.

British Councillor Runs Brothel At Home, Offers 3P Service At £100

Wow, this story is explosive man. Wednesfield north councillor, from Conservative Party some more, David Bourne destroys his future in politic by running a brothel at home. Conservative Party you see it? Brothel business you see it? Who is the prostitute then? His own wife Carol Bourne, also a council member. I can imagine how embarrassed the leaders of Conservative Party will feel, and how angry they are.

Stupid thing is:

The Bournes advertise their “services” in an adult magazine using the same contact number as their political website. Between dealing with grumbles about recycling council tax, they take bookings for group sex.

British Teacher Lives On £1 A Day For 365 Days

And she is still going strong! I really admire Kath Kelly. It is definitely not easy. Other than the rising living cost, the much more difficult problem nowadays is the temptation that we are facing. I can eat cheap, transport cheap, dress cheap, stay cheap, but I always cannot resist to upgrade/replace my laptop, handphones, mp3 players, DSLR, overseas holidays, ect……

To be able to achieve what Kath is doing, it takes not only hardworks, calculation, but also self discipline. Can we live on just $10 a day in Singapore?
