Sheikh Al Rajhi pledged to give money to his own charity @ home,think most of it has been given to his family. |

Emley Moor tower is the tallest unsupported structure, but is not a building as is the Shard..........which is more out of place than the Gherkin |

I think appreciation of artform be it architecture, portraiture, ballet etc is down to the individual - that is what makes us great as a human race. |

lol if that is the case then at least he GAVE money to whoever rather than TAKE it from his subjects - the royals are costing us more and more even though this was supposed to be stopped relatively recently. Latest figures show that the royal family is costing us more in real terms. I wouldn't mind if the queen claimed to give her fortune away and gave it to the rest of the family to stop them sponging off the rest of us. But instead we are subsidising them heavily |
