had alerted a Daily Mirror journalist who in turn alerted
Lennon , who got busy with his vacuum cleaner
Somehow they managed to find cannabis hidden
This irritated Lennon , ‘ I’m not stupid he said later
‘ I went through the whole damn house ‘… rip

i got an inheritance once from a dead uncle, a cricket bat and a pair of football boots, geyser from the antiques roadshow said they were Bobby Moore's and Colin Cowdrey's. I said "yeah ? what can I lob them out for" he said "feck all, Bobby couldnt play cricket and Colin couldnt play football".
Not sure I like the term coffin cheater unless it is someone who has been in a coma for 10 years. Plenty of very active people aged over 75 and an equal number of bone idle 20 somethings who would not be missed. That does not mean that I approve of 80 year olds running for the US presidency!

It is with the deepest sadness and heaviest of hearts we announce the passing of former Manchester City player and Chairman Francis Lee, aged 79.
A Club legend in every sense, Francis made 330 appearances for City, scoring 148 goals.
He won one First Division title, one FA Cup, one League Cup, a European Cup Winners’ Cup and two Charity Shields during a glittering eight-year spell as a player – a legacy that ensures his position among Manchester City’s all-time greats is secure.
He would later return to City as club Chairman in 1994, spending four years at the helm.
Franny passed away in the early hours of this morning after a long battle with cancer. His wife Gill and children Charlotte, Jonny and Nik say he will be sorely missed and would like to thank everyone for their kind words.
Everyone at Manchester City would like to send their condolences to the friends and family of Francis at this very difficult time.
As a mark of respect, flags around the Etihad Stadium and City Football Academy are flying at half-mast.
More tributes from the club will follow in the coming days.

People will always need people-
To have friendly fights with
And share tasty bites with,

Gangs, posses and packs,
Its seems we need company
Before we relax,
So stop making enemies
And let’s face the facts,
People will always need people,
