What the Dickens? Oliver Twist author’s newly-uncovered ‘glorious moustache’ period gets a mixed response as it goes on show for the first time
The Oliver Twist author was known for his trademark beard, but the daguerreotype profile portrait shows his handlebar-style moustache, which he only sported for a few years.
I am surprised the rest of the passengers didn’t didn’t get a bit of sticky tape and wrap it around her mouth and feat! LOL

Ash Barty like you’ve never seen her before: Tennis superstar stuns on the cover of Vogue Australia in her first ever high-end fashion shoot
Ash Barty stuns on the cover of this month’s Vogue Australia, swapping her tennis whites for high-end fashion in a glamorous photo shoot. Barty, who at age 25 is the world’s No. 1 female tennis player, oozed elegance in a series of monochrome outfits by Polo Ralph Lauren, Matteau and Worn Store. She accessorised her understated outfits with jewellery by Tiffany & Co. and mule heels by Jasmine Stefanovic’s shoe label Mara & Mine.
Interesting find.
A metal detectorist uncovered the gold King Henry III coin (pictured) dating to 1257, which is just under an inch in diameter, on farmland in Hemyock, Devon, in September last year.
She’d played the big-screen sex siren and didn’t relish doing so again. ‘I cannot see any sense in dressing up and doing nothing but tempting men in pictures.’ So said Greta Garbo about the prospect of making the steamy 1926 potboiler Flesh And The Devil. And as a new biography reveals, when it came to ‘dressing up’, Garbo preferred to dress up as man. But for all the Swedish superstar’s reservations about the film – concerning a love triangle involving two best friends competing for the same woman – they melted away after she met her co-star John Gilbert.
oooopa!
Novak Djokovic to be DEPORTED as his visa is cancelled AGAIN after minister seizes on discrepancies in the tennis champ’s testimony to boot him from the country
NEW Immigration Minister Alex Hawke (inset) used his powers to cancel Djokovic’s visa on Friday, four days after the federal government had backed down on deporting the tennis superstar. Mr Hawke’s decision comes three days out from the start of the Australian Open where Djokovic (main, top right with wife Jelena) hoped to become the most successful male player of all time. It will likely result in further court action by the 34-year-old who has already won the Open nine times. Djokovic, who is not vaccinated against Covid and who contracted the virus in December, was initially denied a visa to enter Australia on January 6 by a Border Force official. Protests have been predicted and the federal government can expect an international backlash in response to its decision to send the Serb home.
I have been under the weather of late with high blood pressure again and I have just realized why!
I have an allergy to Histamines and I have been eating strawberries and grapes!
Both high in histamines, it starts to affect my blood pressure about six hours after digesting them.
So I went looking for a comprehensive list of items with histamines that I am going to have to avoid.
Doctors are ignorant of this fact so there is no help from them; the Allergies said he cannot help me, but he says I am not just sensitive to histamines but allergic.
I have noticed eat time I have high blood pressure I lose more weight, all my GP said to me was
‘aren’t you happy loosing weight’? So much for a GP so I have given him the push.
If you have friends that have sudden onsets of ‘the runs’ or high blood pressure you will need to try and find out if they have allergies to histamines, this is a new science there is more information in Britain than there is in Australia.
I made a job a few moths ago about dieing from fruit!
Reminds me of my Girl Guide camp in Kent back in those days!
The pictures show groups of children laughing and playing (top and bottom right) as they live in caravans in rural Kent in the 1950s, in the aftermath of a world war that crippled Britain financially. The series of charming photographs show young children riding their bikes and playing Ring a Ring o’ Roses outside as they grow up in an unidentified makeshift caravan town. Other incredible images show mothers sitting with their babies on their laps (left) as they boil kettles on cookers, and groups of children sitting on the floor inside the caravans.
The insightful photographs showed children standing outside, next to their rows of make-shift washing lines, while rubbish was strewn across the floor
We put our camp down on a farmers field, but we never saw the gypsies!
How repugnant!
He obviously wants to look evil.
Man spends $23,500 on extreme body modification including dyeing his eyeballs, splitting his tongue and tattooing his face to look like a JIGSAW in bid to ‘look as inhuman as possible’
A man who wants to look as ‘inhuman as possible’ has spent the equivalent of $23,500 on tattoos and body modification (pictured). The extreme body modification artist, 28, from the Ore Mountains, Germany, known only by his Instagram handle ‘Black Depression’ has tattooed his face to look like a jigsaw puzzle, had chunks of ear cartilage removed, ears and nose pierced, and stretched and dyed his eyeballs. The artist has also had both rows of his teeth crowned in titanium, as well as his tongue split.
Sister survivors: Author pens a moving family memoir revealing how his mother and aunts outfoxed the Nazis
Unlike hundreds of thousands of other German Jews, Ilse, Ursel and Marianne Liedtke escaped deportation to concentration camps. Marianne’s son has penned a gripping family memoir (pictured right) about how the sisters erased their Jewish identity and survived against the odds. They converted to Cahtolicism after their father Ernst’s death, as the powerful Catholic Church had a duty, at least in theory, to protect its flock. Pictured left: Marianne, Ursel and Ilse.
We all have our problems in life don’t we!
Beau Brown, 29, from Atlanta, Georgia, stands at a whopping 7 feet 1 inches – which can make some aspects of his life, like flying, a serious challenge. On a recent short-haul flight to North Carolina from Georgia, he specifically booked his seat on an exit row so he would have more room for his long legs. But, when it came time to board and sit down, he quickly realized that he couldn’t fit – and was forced to switch planes. He said his knees touched the seats in front of his, and he was pined in, unable to sit down or get up. Beau was worried the airline wouldn’t accommodate his size, but instead, they bumped him up to first class to apologize after booking him on a different flight.
