Love me brew!Beatles themed-pub goes up at auction for £275,000 (and it comes with a VERY special link to Ringo)

Fans of the Fab Four have been encouraged to raise your hand and request the former Empress pub, which is just yards from drummer Ringo's birthplace and childhood home. The building on the front of his first solo LP Sentimental Journey in 1970 in tribute to its importance to him as a young man, as he visited a local bar and where his mother Elsie worked as a barmaid. The outside features a spectacular Beatles-and-particularly Ringo-themed mural, painted in 2022 and swiftly becoming a popular Liverpool tourist attraction, although there is much more vibrant artwork on the band's walls. In recent years, the bar has been closed, but SDL Property Auctions is now offering the opportunity to buy and operate both a pub and a seven-room Airbnb upstairs.

MARK EDMONDS: The 'birds and the bees' appear to have flown. Sex education in British schools is no longer restricted to euphemistic discussions of reproductive organs, condomation, and the benefits of loving relationships. These have been cashing in since the Department of Education released guidelines on "Relationships, Sex, and Health Education" (RSHE), which were released in 2019. Young people are being taught to porn 'critically' in this 'enlightened' new age,'; Cinderella, a young incarnation of the tale, has come out as a boy, children are moulding vaginas out of Play-Doh (left), and songs about masturbation are blaming children as young as five. Any organizations that are delivering teaching materials also have links with commercial companies that sell sex aids. Fumble is one such group. Evie Plumb (right) is regarded as a 'ambassador' by the'sex educator'.

Real Girlfriends in Paris, a JACI STEPHEN's humourously critical review of Bravo's latest reality show Real Girlfriends

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 6, 2022
JACI STEPHEN: Bravo's latest reality series Real Girlfriends in Paris premiered last night, with its first two episodes. Any Bravo (and I really am) knows that their reality is as unreal as real life is; I don't want to watch a show about me sitting at a desk all day. Their shows are celebrations of the excesses and insanities of people you'd never want to know in real life: staged arguments, ridiculous plot lines, and characters with EIFFEL TOWER-SIZED egos.
