The real price of being a fanatic

Article Abstract:

Being a real fan of something such as opera, football or pop music can prove very expensive. With football, a season ticket to a top club can cost up to 1,000 pounds sterling, with ticket prices having risen by an average of 300 pounds sterling over the last five years. Even watching football on television, which requires a subscription to Sky sports channels, can cost around 26 pounds sterling a month. There is a great deal of merchandising associated with pop groups, while a ticket in the stalls at the Royal Opera House can cost up to 120 pounds sterling.

WDTT couples

Article Abstract:

It is quite common for a man to marry his secretary, especially in political circles, where it is often necessary to work extremely long hours and it is therefore hard to meet people socially. Secretaries already have a deep insight into their future husband's personality, and are well aware of the lifestyle with which they will become involved. Husbands and wives can both benefit from shared endeavour, and the wife will often find that helping and supporting her husband becomes part of her self-esteem.

To let: cage 93cm wide

Article Abstract:

Hong Kong is one of the richest cities in the world, but is still home to up to 4,000 people who live in extremely squalid conditions in small wire cages. The majority of these are elderly, who survive by helping each other and have frequently lost contact with their families. Many richer Hong Kong residents remain ignorant about the true scale of this problem.
