Eurovision by Arnold Jansen op de Haar

Angela Merkel, wearing a low-cut dress, sings a song of praise to the euro. In Germany they’re starting to talk about ‘Brustwarzen Gate’ (Nipple Gate). President Alexander Lukashenko, who made his name with the quote ‘Better a dictator than gay’, sings a folksy song entitled: ‘Man of the People’.Elio Di Rupo, the Belgian PM, is dressed in nothing but a giant bow tie and, to the delight of the gays in the audience, sings an aria in falsetto about the fantastic town planning in Belgium.

A Sincere Person by Arnold Jansen op de Haar

If you live outside the Netherlands you probably haven’t heard of Dutch singer Patricia Paay, unless your name is David Bowie.



And now her biography has been published. I haven’t read it, but it’s hard to miss: there are new revelations every day. Yet another person who strenuously denies he has slept with Ms Paay as part of a damage limitation exercise.



Except David Bowie: he admits everything. It happened during a song festival in Malta, where he obviously slept with…

King of the People by Arnold Jansen op de Haar

Beatrix opened up during the handover of the throne. Her face appeared to be far livelier than before. Willem-Alexander had not only become more dignified in his ermine cloak, but from this moment on his face represented the entire nation. He was ready for it, and Máxima was a magnificent Evita of the polders. The people played their role with gusto, as if instructed by someone: ‘You’re the crowd.’



But how would he feel about being reduced to the people, with an inflatable orange…

Thatcher’s Secret Weapon by Arnold Jansen op de Haar

Mao regularly swam in the Yangtze to prove that he was still perfectly fit. Putin rode a horse bare-chested and performed some judo throws, if necessary with the horse, and two weeks ago David Cameron rescued a sheep that had got stuck.



For a moment I thought it was a publicity stunt. It could have been conjured up by North Korea’s Kim Jong-un.



But in the case of David Cameron you can be sure it’s not staged. David always looks slightly surprised, as if he’s wondering: How…

Thank-You for your friendship! It's always good to connect with other inspirational and gifted people like you. I have just completed my autobiography entitled "Born In Betrayal". The website is http://https://www.createspace.com/3694258. Alot of people ask me why I decided to reveal my story to the world. I believe that we all are connected in some way or another, and that our experiences of personal struggle and triumph could possibly have the potential to help another person along this journey of life. I am a survivor and I give all of my credit and glory to God. I believe that my book will change your life and the lives of all who read it. After the storm I find that even the darkest of days and nights still had a purpose and a meaning. God Bless!

Hi there,

Tim is out of surgery. The Dr hadn't seen a worse case of the cyst like material all through his ear area.  we come back in 6-9 months for reconstructive surgery.

Thanks for caring,
