This is a link to the list of recalled foods from supermarkets. The food is found to have a cancer causing food dye Sudan1. It is being taken off the shelves and if you have any of it at home, even if you bought it months ago, don't eat it.
Supermarkets in the Uk are offering refunds if you return with the wrappers, I assume they are doing the same here. read full story / add a comment

To mark Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams first visit to Montserrat Abbey in Catalonia where he joined with the President of ERC Josep Carod Rovira (the Catalan republican left independence party) our own occasional contributor, Mr Eoin O Broin published at his welcomed suggestion a piece in the local english language (girona based) pan catalonia weekly paper today.

Mr Adams expressed his belief that there is enough wisdom in the current Spanish gov. to help the basques sort things out, and that Mr Blair for another term is still preferable to the tories.
He didn't say he had seen the BVM and I'm sure he got chocolate biscuits.

But it would breach copyright to publish them here at the moment, and so I won't. read full story / add a comment
