A scene straight from 'My Fair Lady' played out at a posh London hotel Saturday as a dozen girls in frilly dresses attended a 'princess boot camp' ahead of this month's royal wedding. The pint-size wannabe princesses learned how to walk straight, eat with decorum and curtsy. Never mind that it's doubtful any of them will come within spitting distance of the royals at the April 29 wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. (AP Photos)

1. Where is the accountability?

Some people are suggesting that the heat be turned on the not-for-profit sector for neglecting their civic duty by neglecting to file their annual returns. Many donors have become suspicious about the management of funds in the absence of annual returns. Fact is, many of these organisations handle millions of dollars on an annual basis. And they wonder why donations are drying up?

2. An open relationship

This mid-island couple has shown the world what an open relationship looks like. They share the same house but little else. She is free to explore - jetting off wherever and whenever; he spends a good deal of time on the road - working. Lately, she has given herself a choice in sleeping arrangements - so sometimes he sees her and at other times he doesn't. Life rolls along just fine.

3. Reunion - what reunion?

3. Just as a reunion was shaping up, the other ex showed up looking for support in her time of bereavement. The lady is cursing her fate, there is always something to curtail their fun - guess it's not meant to be!

4. Sentimental value - uh?

A stingy man if ever there was one. The ex-wife is complaining to everyone how shabby she has been treated by the millionaire. She had done such a fantastic job decorating the house and grounds but she had to walk away from it all ... he said there were too many sentiments attached to the home.
