Thoughtful interview with an impressive person. More I learn about Pussy Riot members, the more I admire them. Nadya Tolokonnikova: 'I suppose we have nothing more to lose' Nadya Tolokonnikova spent 18 months in jail after Pussy Riot's protests against Vladimir Putin. She is feted across the West but now she just wants to concentrate on the real work of reform in Russia http://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2014/sep/19/nadya-tolokonnikova-pussy-riot-interview-nothing-to-lose

Because it is about his favorite Prince and an adorable child... Btw, I was amused to read "I was chuffed to bits", I never heard that before and if it wasn't said by a little girl in the article, I would have thought it meant something totally different. 'I was completely over the moon': Little girl's delight at being hoisted onto Prince Harry's shoulders so she could see the bands at the Invictus Games closing ceremony Isabelle Nixon, five, was left upset after being unable to see the stage Adam Nixon, 31, had earlier captained Team GB to victory in basketball Prince Harry spotted the little girl and swung her onto his shoulders The royal then stayed and danced with Isabelle for the rest of the evening Her soldier father lost his left leg following an IED blast in Basra in 2004 By RUTH STYLES FOR MAILONLINE PUBLISHED: 06:04 EST, 18 September 2014 | UPDATED: 15:01 EST, 18 September 2014 727 View comments Unable to see the stage and blocked in by other fans, five-year-old Isabelle Nixon was less than impressed with the Invictus Games closing ceremony - until, that is, Prince Harry came to the rescue. After spotting the little girl, the prince, 30, hoisted her on to his shoulders and then stayed to dance with her as the Foo Fighters took to the stage. Isabelle, whose father Adam, 31, from Hereford, captained Team GB's wheelchair basketball team to victory on Sunday, didn't realise who her hero was until her delighted mother Taryn exclaimed: 'You're dancing with Prince Harry!' Scroll down for video +10 Party prince: Harry picked up Isabelle Nixon, five, put her on his shoulders and danced for the rest of the gig Isabelle said: 'I was completely over the moon. I was chuffed to bits.' Mr Nixon, a former Gunner in 26 Regiment Royal Artillery, lost his one of his legs following an IED explosion in Basra in Iraq in March 2004. His left leg had to be amputated while his right was badly damaged, leaving him confined to a wheelchair. Despite his injury, Mr Nixon, who has four children, daughter Abigail, 11, Jayden, eight, five-year-old Isabelle and three-year-old Lilyana, continued to play his basketball. 'Prince Harry had spoken to us at the ceremony, just to say how proud he was of us guys,' explained Mr Nixon. 'We were underdogs in the final but we beat the US at their own game.' Thrilled: Former soldier Adam Nixon, 31, with Prince Harry (centre) and his five-year-old daughter, Isabelle Delighted: Earlier, former gunner Mr Nixon had captained Team GB to victory in the wheelchair basketball 'He came up, shook my hand and said: "You are a legend" and I asked him for a photo with him and my family. 'Then later, after his speech, Foo Fighters were on the main stage. He came to listen to the music.' But when Harry, who had earlier told Mr Nixon that he just wanted to 'chill out' and watch the show, spotted the tearful Isabelle, he swung into action. 'He recognised her from earlier in the day and saw she was getting upset because she couldn’t see the band,' adds Mr Nixon. 'He approached us and smiled at me and just literally picked her up and just started to dance so she could see the stage. Isabelle was thrilled when Prince Harry lifted her onto his shoulders, pictured (left) with her father Adam On royal shoulders, Harry gives little girl a boost to see stage Thrilled: The entire Nixon family had turned out to support Mr Nixon and Team GB as they went for gold Royal welcome: Isabelle and her brother Jayden and sisters Abigail and Lilyana pose with Prince Harry Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2760629/Its-Harry-rescue-Kindhearted-royal-comes-aid-tearful-little-girl-finding-sobbing-Invictus-Games-closing-ceremony.html#ixzz3Dsg2yK3L Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook

Just buy your coffin now !

Bangers and mash with stewed tomatoes are one of the best meals I've ever had in England. I can see how pan grease on toast could be entirely addicting, depending on what the grease came from.

I never noticed any of that when I was in Iraklion but then it might be because I spend all my time at the Hotel Atlantis in the bar on top of the hotel? Beautiful place. Best regards, RA1

Should that be, "while breathing bait"? Best regards, RA1

Jello alone, as a lite dessert OK..... anything INSIDE of jello, NOT so much. I always cook with condensed soups, but now, the low sodium versions. Makes life easy-breezy.... Meat mousses or moussalines...... It's like eatting what comes out of a baby's diaper..... And I usually find my BEST dishes are the ones that happened quite Randomly, a little of this and a dash of that..... Although they are hard to re-create exactly...

WHAT? I spent good money to throw this election! I want to find out whether my investment paid off.

How can a cuisine that serves alfalfa spouts in a non-health food venue be called wanting? Wait. That is just another bland, tasteless offering of what they call food. They can't even get KFC right which I tried once in a home sick panic. It was unrecognizable as well as tasteless. Once you get past the merriment of crackers are biscuits and biscuits are scones you get into the real bafflement of exactly what are you eating. As I recall the thing I enjoyed the most was pate which probably was made from chickens or pigs rather than ducks but who knows? Best regards, RA1

Perhaps THIS conversation needs to be continued civiley in the Politics Forum ???? Unless of course the uniforms were uniquely Fashionable, JOAN wouldnt have this !

So if it's not practical to attend all the military funerals, why is the general officer's to be the exception? If the Prez wants to honor one for all, why not choose the corporal's? Two stars can get all the rigamarole the general's family wants. A corporal's family might actually derive some comfort from the President showing up.

Explain to me why a two star's funeral is more deserving of respect than that of a no name corporal in a sealed coffin.

I think the contest is very creative and very interesting. Hats off for the spurt of creative genius.

The Audience is on the Edge of Their Seats........ WHO will snatch the coveted "Headie" Crown ???
