A shocking pitty-piece in the London Times on the plight of poor, impoverished Suha Arafat...I'll take the £5,000 a month, and by the way, I don't believe a word.
Arafat’s widow: I live on just £5,000 a month
...Suha had been accused of living it up in Paris as Arafat braved an Israeli siege of his compound in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
She was rumoured to own properties in the French capital and to spend her time shopping with the wife of Adnan Khashoggi, the billionaire Saudi arms dealer, and the sister of the King of Morocco. None of it was true, she said.
"I have met Mrs Khashoggi once and never went shopping with her," said Suha. "I own no property whatsoever. My rented apartment in Paris is an old, ordinary building."...
The heart bleeds.

2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...

Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
