Did you know that the above phrase about the only certainty in life being death and taxes, is often attributed to being first quoted by Benjamin Franklin.
But apparently, according to Wiki; "The Cobbler of Preston" by Christopher Bullock (1716), contains the phrase:
’Tis impossible to be sure of any thing but Death and Taxes.
I never knew that, see how educational this forum is.
Let us know which branch of IKEA you are going to, so that we can send out a search and rescue party if you don't appear on the forum within 24 hours of tomorrow.

An old EVER READY battery building in North London(now owned by the Council) was used as the backdrop to Nemesis, the organisation seen in The Champions(Stuart Damon, Alexandra Bastedo & William Gaunt)-the side part of the building was used as it looked so modern as the headquarters and the Geneva fountain was superimposed onto it. Didn't have a lot of money back then so looks all the more impressive knowing that.

So, yet another thing those dumb glory hunting yanks have stolen off of us, used for their own means, then made a movie about how they won it all on their own....?

The very first page three girl was Stephanie Rahn but the most infamous was Vivian Neves who appeared topless in The Times for a gardening commercial and snapped up by The Sun later. Many years later The Sun featured her daughter Kelly doing the self-same pose as a tribute to her-Vivian ended up with MS.
