'The Quiet Man' is one of my all-time favorite movies. The beautiful Irish scenery, the story, the acting. A truly excellent film! And Maureen O'Hara is yet another old Hollywood starlet who takes my breath away. What a woman! An actress fom a time when women were women, not plastic surgery obsessed anorexics.John Wayne said that of all his movies, this was his favorite.

With leaders like this nitwit, it's no surprise Africa is in such sad shape.- / -Daily Mail (UK)A herbal potion taken with a couple of bananas is being offered as a cure for Aids by the president of Gambia. Yahya Jammeh has raised health workers’ fears by telling his patients to stop taking their anti-retroviral drugs. This could weaken their immune system leaving them open to infection, the World Health Organisation said. The free "cure" is backed by Gambia’s health ministry and is touted on the country’s TV and radio stations. "Whatever you do there are bound to be sceptics, but I can tell you my method is foolproof," said Mr Jammeh, 41. "I can cure Aids and I will." The former army colonel, who seized power in a 1994 coup, has said the treatment uses seven plants – "three of which are not from Gambia". A green paste is applied to a patient’s chest. A grey liquid is then splashed on, and finally the patient is given a bitter yellow brew to drink, followed by two bananas. Health workers are reluctant to make a direct criticism for fear of damaging relations with the government. But the WHO said yesterday: "We state quite clearly that so far there is no cure for Aids."
