IT is one of London's hottest nightspots. The Penthouse, on the top floors of No1 Leicester Square, enjoys stunning views of the capital. But the club's former owners now make the extraordinary claim that they were driven out in fear of their lives by an executive of one of Britain's bailed-out banks. The three owners say that Irfan Qadir, an awardwinning banker with Bank of Scotland, used a group of ten men with large dogs to frighten them into signing over their shares in the club and restaurant.
A LITTLE after 5.30am at a small clearing in the Kwazulu Natal bush, and I was sipping a mug of coffee and stifling a yawn. Sam, my guide, pointed behind me. I turned to see a giraffe's neck and face emerging from behind a line of acacia trees. Within moments, I and my five companions were taking breakfast surrounded by a dozen curious giraffe.

Then they loped off towards their own morning meal amid the bushwillow trees of the Lowveld.

WE FOLLOWED OUR NEIGHBOURS' LEAD Dianne Rogers, 62, has lived in her house in the north of England for 23 years, but only befriended her neighbours three years ago after meeting them on do g walks Dianne My husband Tony and I had never felt part of the community, but all that changed when I retired from my book-keeping job three years ago and got a golden retriever puppy called Ruby. Suddenly a whole new social network opened up. I now have a group of around ten friends, mainly women, who I see most mornings and evenings after meeting them while walking Ruby in nearby fields. Having a dog is a real conversation starter, and people made more fuss of Ruby than they ever did of my daughter Gemma (now 31) when she was a baby!

In May 2004 a whole new group of member states will join the European Union (EU), ten in all, to add to the present fifteen. Most of them are low-wage countries from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) that twenty-five years ago were basically command economies under the control of the then Soviet Union. All are now regarded as functioning market economies. Within a few years other CEE states such as Bulgaria and Romania are also expected to join.
