...cocktail (a peach vodka concoction called A Boy Named Sue is a big seller) and a lobster soup followed by a chocolate terrine - surprisingly sophisticated fare for a venue with a rockabilly-and-indie-loving DJ. If the bar has a familiar ring to it, that's because, like Pet Sounds Records down the road, Skanegatan 53, tel: (46-8) 702 97 98; www.petsounds.se/web/, it was named after the classic 1966 Beach Boys album.

Much to the chagrin of her employers, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, Amelia comically (and sometimes catastrophically) misinterprets their housekeeping instructions, thanks to her literalist approach to language...
...with in the country's congress: Fernando Collor de Melo, a former president impeached in 1992 on corruption charges; Paulo Maluf, a two-time Mayor of Sao Paulo convicted of fraud; and Clodovil, a camp television presenter and former stylist to the stars who, when asked to name some pet projects he would bring to the new parliament replied, "I have no projects." And this was after Brazilians voted out half of the former congress, which was already considered one of the most unproductive and corrupt in Brazilian history. The outgoing parliamentarians were so recalcitrant that Lula, in his first...
