Among his many accomplishments, he graduated from law school and went on to represent clients in court, taught himself how to inhale, liberated himself from the confines of his iron lung - and even fell in love.

The four-bedroom, four-bathroom home is nestled in the suburbs of Comstock Hills, an upscale neighborhood bordered by Sunset Boulevard to the north and the Los Angeles Country Club to the east.

Help! My childhood dream house has been turned into a dump. TANYA GOLD was left homeless by a combination of bad taste and zero funds — until her interior designer friend stepped in. Here are the lessons she learned

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 21, 2023
Tanya and her husband bought a farmhouse in West Cornwall six years ago. The couple adore old buildings, but they have now made their house 'filthy and overwhelming.' 'We painted the farmhouse to match the Teletubbies, pink, blue, green, yellow, and gold, and then packed it with curios until it was the equivalent of a woman dressed in the dark,' she writes.

Victorian interiors have returned – with a modern twist: how to make the most of your period home

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 21, 2023
There is no period of British history that compares to Victorian age in terms of sheer zeal and innovation in terms of architecture and design. Around one in every six homes in the United Kingdom are Victorian, and many owners of these historic houses are trying to recreate the look that suits their buildings after a long postwar period of stripping away the past. So how best to go about getting the Victorian look?

Outraged punters blast Britain's biggest pub chain over 'dynamic pricing' plan which would see drinkers charged 20p more for a beer at the weekend during peak times

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 18, 2023
Punters at a Stonegate pub in central London who recently launched 'dynamic' pricing have called the change a poor business decision, arguing that the pint price should be the same as advertised, not different. Others, who opposed the pricing system, said they could understand why pubs were enforcing such steps when the likes of theatres and airlines had already been using the same methods for years. Given how tough people were struggling financially at the time, another customer said the dynamic pricing was a bad corporate decision.

Marlborough College is a prestigious private school with a cost of £42,930 per year. Some of the former pupils of the Princess of Wales, Jack Whitehall, and William Morris are among its former pupils. Kate Middleton, a 14-year-old girl who had left the school after being subjected to allegations of bullying at her previous school, Downe House, was a shy and lanky teen who had enrolled. She quickly found her feet in Marlborough, co-captaining the hockey team (left and right) and establishing close friendships.

Homes with boot rooms have risen in value

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 11, 2023
As the people across the pond call it, every house needs a boot room (or a'mud room') - a place to take off coats and muddy boots before going across the threshold into the main house. To sort the problems of dripping waterproofs, filthy Wellingtons, screaming babies, and mud-caked canines, the majority of us have a porch, hallway, or utility room. Here's how to make yours a stylish space.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews last night's TV: Grayson sees England distorted through his Leftie lens

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 27, 2023
CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: The nonsense that wiggles through the brain of a self-righteous Leftie celebrity's brain is difficult to comprehend. Grayson Perry, an artist, looked at archive footage of a Boy Scout parade and likened it to the Hitler Youth. What is the twerp on about? I was a Scout a decade ago, and our Thursday teatime meetings consisted mainly of knots, woggles, and raucous gan-gooly. We didn't annexe the Sudetenland at any time. However, Perry is so programmed to see bigotry staining Britain's history that he conjures it out of nothing. When you consider that those 1930s lads, or their brothers and fathers, may have fought and died to defeat Hitler, his remark was particularly offensive.
