Murder she nearly wrote...
Angela Lansbury’s daughter, Deirdre Shaw, fell under the spell of a Hollywood deadbeat who introduced her to drugs and got her to steal food and money from her parents for him.
Ms. Lansbury said that her daughter was “fascinated” by the deadbeat. “It started with cannibis but moved on to heroin”.
Worried, Ms. Lansbury moved her entire family from America to Ireland. ”We upped sticks and moved the family to a house we found in County Cork".
The deadbeat guy was Charles Manson.

Bloody hell, that is a very lucky escape.
Years ago I read the book Helter Skelter which is all about Manson and the murders.
Deidre is very lucky.

St Mary Magdalene Church in Whitgift is unique
This Grade I listed church, has a mystery behind its clock. Installed in 1919 to mark the end of World War 1, with the inscription ‘IN TERRA PAX’ Peace on Earth, you have to do a double take to see if you are seeing things, but if you see roman numerals for 13 instead of 12 you are not mistaken.
No one is sure of the story behind the extra roman numeral, but there are a number of legends – one of my favourites being that there used to be a pub opposite the church and some say the painter may have been a little ‘worse for wear’ adding an extra ‘I’ by mistake. But the church clock is rather famous, even being mentioned by Lord Haw Haw when he bragged during World War II broadcasts that German bombers would fly so low they would ‘be able to see the thirteenth hand of Whitgift church clock’.
What ever the reason, it is an important part of history and has remained there all this time. During a restoration the original was removed and placed inside the church, but its replacement has kept the extra ‘I’, keeping its unique mystery for years to come

the soul, the psyche, the human spirit,
whatever you want to call it.
you know how we have the idea that it is inside us somewhere?
that's not how it was originally thought of...
it was believed that it was outside of the body surrounding us
and we exist inside/within it.

I mean they were alright - I had 3 over 10 years from work - but when you get to the point when an intervention is needed

If I’d won the lottery, there would be wall to wall Ferraris, Morgans and much else and not this collection of humble vehicles.

People with snidey eyes are, in fact, snidey. It's natures way of telling us to avoid some people.
Who’s taking the photo?
No matter how many times you see him on telly, when I’m with my brother, our Chris always says “d’ya like that?”.
