If her name sounds familiar it is because she was allegedly raped by Britain's Prince Andrew and received a $12 million settlement from him a couple of years ago. That scandal cost Andrew his military and royal titles including...

Fiacre Banks @njchicaa A lesson hopefully for royalty - position, wealth and privilege if inappropriately handled can be devastating for others. Sadly there will be no justice.

I grew up on a farm in a house that was mostly built by my father. In the mid-1960s, a new house was built which is still lived in today. We visited the old farm recently and I took this photo of the kitchen chimney which is...

Fiacre Banks @JudyEv You’ll have seen lots of remnants of old stone cottages in rural Ireland, each with its stories to tell. Many are the result of evictions in the 1800s.

oh and you can be sure that will sting. He mocked Biden's seating at Queen Elizabeth's funeral. One one side of the aisle Catholic royalty get the front seats and then non-Catholic royalty like Prince William of Britain. Behind...

Someone has been trying to blackmail me recently. Maybe you know what it’s like. I’ve been getting emails claiming that the sender has installed malware in my computer. Part of the deal is that he/she/it can now access the camera...

Fiacre Banks @judyev That’s just horrible. It can be very panic inducing even though you know that no such footage could possibly exist. Sick.

Last month I wrote about how we had dropped our car off for the routine annual MOT test (roadworthiness, basically) and the garage somehow ‘broke’ it. Well guess what – we still haven’t got it back! The first couple of weeks we...

When I got the food allergy testing a couple of months ago, I was hoping really hard that I'd be allergic to chocolate since it's an out-of-control addiction that I have. If I were allergic to chocolate, so I thought, then I...

I am on hold right now with an entity that I need to interact with. I have been on hold for about ten minutes. The "relaxing" music I am listening to may be Mozart. Fifteen minutes ago, my estimated wait time was ten minutes. Now,...

Fiacre Banks @thehorse Those words really mean “We haven’t hired enough staff to deal with our customers because it’s cheaper to just employ Edna from HR’s granny and there’s no way callers know we’ve done that”.

The back garden was a glory of warm pink this afternoon. The sun shone and the wind made the cherry blossom fall onto the grass. I sat a goodly while in the sunshine, fortified yet laid languid by a glass(es) of the noble grape. I...

Fiacre Banks @sharonelton I’m getting fed up with supermarkets - all so samey. I went to a garden centre and I could have spent thousands on plants etc but I restrained myself and got a whole clatter of geraniums. I love geraniums. I’m also getting fed up with food. Don’t...

Call it bad manners but I can't help reading those slogans on T shirts. Slogans or messages whatever you call them. If there is any other right word to describe them, I don't know it. Please do enlighten me. What else they are...

Fiacre Banks @AmbiePam I also don’t like it when young ladies in the waitressing profession wear name badges that are pinned on their chests in such a way as makes them difficult to read, and I have to stare at those chests to decipher what is written.

Fiacre Banks @franxav I try not to read what people have written across their chests, especially if they are female - I could get in trouble doing that.

The positive way of looking at our boiler/furnace issues is that the weather is heating up, and heat is not urgently required. The negative way is to focus on the expense of buying a new one and having it installed. The previous...

Fiacre Banks @judyev Greece welcomes me with open arms. However I’m an excellent and respectful guest, unlike some of my fellow citizens. Most tourists coagulate around resorts near airports but my island has no airport thankfully, and generally people don’t stay long in...

I stopped in a Walgreens store yesterday and a different location of Walgreens today looking for a Mother's Day Card but they didn't have any. Why not? Mother's Day is May 11th, just two and a half weeks away. Why aren't the...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville my good wife receives them, but when I’m looking for one to buy on behalf of our youngest I’m appalled at how many rude ones are on the market. Apparently some people think it’s ok to send their mother a raunchy card.

It took every bit of 2 1/2 weeks, but I finally feel good again. I've been to the gym three days this week, working out pretty much up to speed. Lots of cardio. My congestion is now coming out, I know that's gross to say, but...

I find it in very bad taste that the lifeless body of a recently deceased elderly gentleman should be on public display in Rome for the next few days. That’s creepy and terribly disrespectful. At least Queen Elizabeth kept the lid...
