Liverpool swept Blackburn away in 10 minutes on December 6 2008 with two excellent goals which broke their goal-less spell, only for Blackburn to punish the Reds defence two minutes after their second game and force themselves back into the match, ensuing a dramatic ending at Ewood Park.
Our family has lived in Bulgaria legally since 1995. Naturally, our 15-year-old daughter has gone to Bulgarian schools and has many Bulgarian friends. She attended a local Bulgaria school up to fourth grade, was in a Bulgarian national dance group for five years and currently plays basketball with a local girls basketball team. Yes, she enjoyed Bulgarian school as well as travelling and performing with Sinchets, the dance team. Of course, she loves playing basketball for her team.
"Politics is not about personalities." This, at least, is the oft-quoted dictum of former left-wing Labour MP Tony Benn. Of course it shouldn't be, but at a time when so little separates the political parties, personalities inevitably become more conspicuous. And in case any of you suffer the delusion that there is a genuine ideological divide between the parties, then I challenge you to come up with any major
For at least six years now, Bulgarian nurses have been rotting in a Libyan jail. These innocent nurses have been both tortured by Libyan goons and have been unjustly accused and tried in an Islamo-Fascist kangaroo court by a tinpot dictator who murdered hundreds of innocent people on a Pan-Am flight in 1988. To date, NO Bulgarian government has done squat to free these victims of a cruel dictator and a pretend
Holy Smoke! Well, not exactly. But smoke has certainly been the main topic of conversation here in Stara Zagora since last summer. It all started with a very strange yellow cloud that covered the city's atmosphere. And, yes, people were hacking and coughing. Asthma and bronchitis cases boomed. The question is, what is it and what caused it? Suspicion first descended upon the destruction of Bulgarian

RECENTLY, we had eight children come down with hepatitis A in a village in which we work in our region. As part of the programme there, we help provide medical care, clothing, education, school materials and food for the poor in this region. At this specific village, when the first child became ill, HEI (the health inspectorate) sent out someone to examine the child. We were informed that they would return
On January 1, Bulgaria introduced limitations on smoking in public places. The Sofia Echo solicited accounts of experiences of the effectiveness, or otherwise, of the regulations. Compiled by CHRISTINA DIMITROVA. BY decree number 329 of December 8, 2004, the Government issued an Ordinance regulating smoking in specific zones in enclosed public and work places, including public transport.
The rest of the world made a collective shudder on July 22 when Bulgaria decided to close 250 churches and 50 police raided a church in Sofia. You can just see the rolled eyes of diplomats, and the shaking of heads across the world, because after 14 years after Communism, Bulgaria still does not "get" democracy.
AS one of the correspondents referred to by Paromita Sanatani (Sounding Board, The Sofia Echo, February 13: 'Of war, politics and oil'), I would like to make the following observations.
A FULL 13 years after communism ended, the Government still cannot figure out what to do about organised crime. Other than a lot of hand wringing and lip service, nothing much is done at all.
YES, Bulgaria, like many other countries has problems with funny money. But hats off to General Borissov and his boys as they bash the Bulgarian funny money printers! They have done quite a good job and one must give credit when it is due.
It was a normal day that began like any other. It did not end that way.
