28th October 1961. Brian Epstein serving in his record shop in Whitechapel, Liverpool, is asked for 'My Bonnie' by The Beatles. He discovers that the disc is available only in Germany and sets out to see the group for himself. Raymond Jones is the customer. He saw the Beatles perform for the first time 12 days later, Nov 9th, during a lunchtime session at The Cavern, the Liverpool basement night club which was the 'in' spot during the early 1960s. Mr Epstein is credited with discovering the Beatles when they were still performing in blue jeans and leather jackets. He encouraged them to smarten up their image, wear suits and stop swearing and smoking in public - in order to broaden their appeal. In January 1962 the band agreed a five year contract with Epstein, although he refused to sign it, saying their mutual regard for one another was enough. He got them their first record deal with EMI in October 1962 and by autumn 1963, Britain was engulfed by Beatlemania. Mr Epstein brought a number of singers to fame. Apart from the Beatles, his other protégés included Cilla Black, (Priscilla Maria Veronica White) Billy J Kramer and The Dakotas and Gerry and the Pacemakers.

I text the wife from the pub last night to tell her “ I am just having one more pint and then coming home”


“If I am not home in 20 minutes, just read this Text again”


England Expects Over the period 1794 to 1805, under Lord Horatio Nelson's leadership, the Royal Navy proved its supremacy over the French. He served in the Mediterranean, and during the battle at Calvi he lost the sight in his right eye. He would later lose his right arm at the Battle of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 1797. As a commander he was known for bold action, and the occasional disregard of orders from his seniors. This defiance brought him victories against the Spanish off Cape Vincent in 1797, and at the Battle of Copenhagen four years later, where he ignored orders to cease action by putting his telescope to his blind eye and claiming he couldn't seen the signal to withdraw. At the Battle of the Nile in 1798, he successfully destroyed Napoleon's fleet and thus his bid for a direct trade route to India. His most famous engagement, at Cape Trafalgar, saved Britain from threat of invasion by Napoleon, but it would be his last. Before the battle on 21 October 1805, Nelson sent out the famous signal to his fleet 'England expects that every man will do his duty'. He was killed by a French sniper a few hours later while leading the attack on the combined French and Spanish fleet. His body was preserved in brandy and transported back to England where he was given a state funeral.
