A friend of mine has a daughter, aged 8. She was telling me about her daughter's friend - 'Aubrey'
I said - 'She has got a boyfriend at 8 years of age?' No - she replied - 'Aubrey is a girl at school.
'No'- I insisted - 'Aubrey is a boy's name - has she, have you, got the name right?'
'Yes', she replied - 'SHE is called Aubrey'.
I was unbelieving - as the only AUBREY I could think of was ...
'Aubrey' BOYCIE in 'Only Fools and Horses'. ----------------
No doubt - salmon spray - has still got pictures of fiim star actress Audrey Hepburn on his bedroom wall.

Her full name was - Audrey Kathleen Hepburn (née Ruston; 4 May 1929 – 20 January 1993)

I was thinking of Katharine Hepburn ( b.1907 ) and no relation but was Bogie's missus as well as a big star in her own right. The best mess was caused by Evelyn Waugh who married a woman called Evelyn. As Waugh was strongly rumoured to be bisexual it makes you wonder.

Could have been worse .... Marion Morrison = John Wayne
He, John Marion Wayne, and fellow cowboy actor, Gene Autry, may well have made a good couple.

Sorry.Katherine Hepburn was indeed Tracy Spencer's smooch. Bogart's was Lauren Bacall. I tend to get the two mixed up. HHopefully they didn't.

Going back to Ashley Lewis for a moment. He his now 3rd in the Jockey Apprentice title. Has the best winning % of those lads and is showing a small level stakes profit on hi rides.
His Great grandfather lives in Tarleton and has been a dear friend for almost 50 years, he his not in the best of health but watching both of his Grandsons has been a real tonic for him. It will be nice if Ashley can do it and he is going flat out for it.
