		<title>GOD&#8217;S LIVINGROOM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Again I failed to make good on my updates. (telecom)  I keep saying that I have articles written which only need proofing and I could post them, then sit back and let all the critics have a field day.  Like Christmas, they are coming, like all the music I want to make – it is [...]]]></description>

		<title>HE WHO PAYS THE PIPER CALLS THE TUNE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh boy! Bahrain, what have you done?   Sadly such a lot of what you hear through media is sensational, ‘licensed journalistic’ fabrication…  and most all of what you ‘DON’T hear is more likely the truth.  Meantime: Telecom companies are the only ones to continue making a fortune out of personal misery as if they actually [...]]]></description>

		<title>LIGHT YEARS OF SURPRISES</title>
		<description><![CDATA[QATAR AIRWAYS TO BUENOS AIRES (September 2010) When some Mid U.S. based Facebook friends put out a plea for ‘an unusual, something different – more exciting, honeymoon’ idea, they probably received about 400 suggestions, 401 including mine then. I suggested  ‘Kabul’, but few take me seriously anyway.  Surprisingly, nobody came up with any place in [...]]]></description>

		<title>RULES OF ENGAGEMENT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The local Agencies in the area are probably the only ones who criticize me and have an unhealthy dislike of me, because they see themselves in the criticism I highlight and can&#8217;t take the hit, so in retaliation dish out plenty on me. Fortunately, the general public who happen across my vitriol invariably agree with [...]]]></description>

		<title>SAUDI A GO-GO &#8211; UNVEILED</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I posted here some time back that Saudi was issuing 4 FM frequencies on a &#8216;Private basis. Well, you can read about it now. It takes little imagination to understand the politics (or more like maneuvering) behind this, but the number of folk who asked me how I knew about this and completely dismissed it [...]]]></description>

		<title>RADIO SHAMBLES</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NEWS-NEWS-NEWS! I don&#8217;t know what makes me think of the legendary King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, when I think of the radio authority in Bahrain and the distribution &#8211; or not -  of frequencies on this friendly &#8211; &#8216;Ich bin eine Bahraini&#8217; island. &#8216;Must be the non reality of the legend, [...]]]></description>

		<title>THE LONE RANGER (NOT)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well wonders never cease.  I fight for you the public, or at least the public with a gram of sophistication who deserve, demand and wish for better media. I dream of the day when the masses will discern the difference between absolute crap and get what you pay for.  I take a lot of criticism [...]]]></description>

		<title>THE LEBANESE LOVE FEST</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So what is happening with radio in Bahrain?  The score so far: Lebanese 4 – The Rest 0. Well,  what can I say? As predicted in these columns over the past few months &#8211; but when I first said it, some laughed me out of the room as not possible. As I reported, a representative [...]]]></description>
