I HAVE CONNECTIONS WITH THE PLACES BELOW
Stalybridge
Stalybridge lies in the foothills of the Pennines, straddling the River Tame, which, from its source to its confluence with the Mersey, forms part of the ancient boundary between Lancashire and Cheshire. The highest point in the town is the summit of Wild Bank at 1309 ft (399 m). Harridge Pike is the second highest peak at 1296 ft (395 m). At the 2001 census Stalybridge had a population of 22,568. The town borders Ashton-under-Lyne, Dukinfield, Hyde, Mottram in Longdendale, Tintwistle and Mossley.

During the writing of The Condition of The Working Class in England, Friedrich Engels formed the opinion that "multitudes of courts, back lanes, and remote nooks arise out of [the] confused way of building... . Add to this the shocking filth, and the repulsive effect of Stalybridge, in spite of its pretty surroundings, may be readily imagined."
Ada Summers was elected Mayor of Stalybridge in November 1919. In December 1919, the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act 1919 came into force, which enabled women for the first time to become magistrates. She was sworn in, becoming the first woman to adjudicate on an English Bench.John Aston European Cup Winner with Manchester United 1968

Bury
Bury is a town in the north of Greater Manchester in the North West of England. Situated between Rochdale and Bolton, and just west of the M66, it is the largest settlement of the Metropolitan Borough of Bury and has a population of 60,718.[citation needed]
Bury emerged during the Industrial Revolution as a mill town centred on textile

Peel, Sir Robert (1788-1850), the 19th century British Prime Minister best known today for the repeal of the Corn Laws and his introduction of the modern police force (hence the terms "Bobbies" and "Peelers"), was born in Bury. A monument, Peel Tower, now exists to his memory. As this is situated nearly 1,000 feet above sea level, it is easily recognizable for miles around. The tower itself was not built for Sir Robert, but to provide work for local workers and was later dedicated to him. A statue of Sir Robert Peel stands in Market Place, outside the Robert Peel public house.

The Torbay area is known as the English Riviera. Paignton's population in the United Kingdom Census of 2001 was 47,398
Famous For?
Paignton was used as a location in several episodes of the television comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus.During the location filming of these scenes in May 1970, the Python team stayed at the Gleneagles Hotel in Torquay, which subsequently provided John Cleese with the inspiration for Fawlty Towers.

HEROES
Matthew Manning
(born 1955) is a best selling author and healer, and is well known for his purported psychic abilities. As a child he and his family were allegedly subjected to a range of poltergeist disturbances in their Cambridge home and later at Oakham School. The events of his childhood and later investigations by Dr. George Owen of the Cambridge Psychical Research Society were published in a book entitled The Link, which eventually sold more than a million copies. Matthew Manning now resides in Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk and focuses his attention on psychic healing.
Manning has claimed that the spirit of Pablo Picasso talks to him, and has taught him to paint in a similar manner.
Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa
His father was a widower with three surviving children when he met his mother. His father was a builder and a Christian and his mother was a young Zulu girl. Caught between Catholic missionaries on one hand, and a stubborn old Zulu warrior, Credo's maternal grandfather, his parents had no choice but to separate. Credo Mutwa was born out of wedlock which caused a great scandal in the village and his mother was thrown out by her father. Later she was taken in by one of her aunts.
He was subsequently raised by his father's brother and was taken to the South Coast of Natal, near the northern bank of the Umkumazi River. He did not attend school until he was 14 years old. In 1935 his father found a building job in the old Transvaal province and the whole family relocated to where he was building. In 1937 he experienced a great shock and trauma when he was seized and sodomized by a gang of mineworkers outside a mine compound. After this he was ill for a long time.
Where Christian doctors had failed, his grandfather, a man whom his father despised as a heathen and demon worshipper, helped him back to health. At this point Credo began to question many of the things about his people the missionaries would have them believe. "Were we Africans really a race of primitives who possessed no knowledge at all before the white man came to Africa?" he asked himself. His grandfather instilled in him the belief that his illness was a sacred sign that he was to become a shaman, a healer. He underwent initiation from one of his grandfather's daughters, young sangoma named Myrna.
David Vaughan Icke
A British writer. A former professional football player, reporter, television sports presenter, and spokesman for the Green Party, he has devoted himself since 1990 to researching "who and what is really controlling the world." He is the author of 20 books explaining his views.
Icke argues that he has developed a moral and political worldview that combines New Age spiritualism with a passionate denunciation of what he sees as totalitarian trends in the modern world. His views have been described as "New Age conspiracism."
Betty Shine
(born 1929 - died March 2002) was a spiritual healer, medium and author of many best selling books including the "Mind" series: "Mind to Mind", "Mind Magic" and "Mind Waves". She died in March 2002 of heart failure.

OBE (born January 11, 1957) is a former England, West Bromwich Albion, and Manchester United footballer who also captained his country.
Lemsip
Of all the cold-and-flu-relief citrus-flavoured powdered drinks, only Lemsip would need spokesperson Reckitt Benckiser (who exists) to declare; ‘It is fair to say that it doesn’t cause poetry in most people.’?
Lemsip is scientific, not versificatory. Science with a capital ‘Science’. Even the blackcurrant ones. The heavyweight nature of the best-selling concoction is reflected in its various sub-brand names: Lemsip Fist, Agent Lemon and the all-new Lemsip Bird Flu Fuck You. I am scared of it, and I am not even the sniffles.
Oh, hang on; it is just some crushed-up paracetamol that tastes a bit lemony. It perks you up slightly, but then so do most things that contain caffeine.
What you need to make your own ‘Lemsip’:
• Paracetamol
• Hot water
• Packet of Refreshers
Nevertheless, Lemsip can be extremely dangerous, intoxicating and even addictive, as Poet Laureate Andrew Motion has found. The poet told the Daily Telegraph he ‘uses’ the potent drug every day to help him write. It gives him the sensation of having ‘a mild illness’, which is good for the fine poetics, apparently. ‘I’ve been doing it for years and it’s become habitual,’ he said. Every day, he chases the lemon. ‘It’s my Lemsip-inspired trance, and I can only say thank heavens it’s not laudanum or absinthe,’ said Motion. Indeed. If only Pete Doherty had kept to Lemsip. He might then have been able to speak in sentences and write lines that scan, such as the finely honed stanzas of Motion masterworks ‘She Will Rock You’ and ‘The Prince Has Got a New Hat’
Here is Motion’s poem ‘I Wonder if the Queen Does Lemsip?’
• I wonder if the Queen does Lemsip
• She is good, mind The Queen
• I like her a lot
• Beechers’ Brook?
• I’ll say. Would you?
• I would
• (But then I’m fucked up on Lemsip.)
'Drug fears could force Lemsip off shelves'
Lemsip and other popular flu remedies could become prescription-only amid fears that they are being used to make the class A drug crystal meth. Caroline Flint, the health minister, said that police were becoming increasingly concerned that pseudoephedrine and ephedrine - used as decongestants in products - could be easily extracted to make the drug, officially called methylamphetamine.
Also known by the street names "ice" and "Nazi crack", the drug is a highly addictive substance that affects the central nervous system and can cause serious physical and psychological harm.

Oh, hang on; it is just some crushed-up paracetamol that tastes a bit lemony. It perks you up slightly, but then so do most things that contain caffeine.
When smoked in its crystalline form, the stimulant produces effects similar to, but longer-lasting than, crack cocaine. Widely used in Europe and America, it has yet to take a grip in Britain but was nevertheless reclassified in January from a Class B to a Class A substance.
Miss Flint said: "If methylamphetamine did secure a hold in the UK, the consequences would undoubtedly be very serious.
"The international experience shows that misuse can spread rapidly when certain conditions prevail and the advice of UK enforcement authorities is that most of these conditions now prevail in the UK."
The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency launched a consultation last month on whether the availability of certain over-the-counter medicines should be restricted. The Proprietary Association of Great Britain, the trade association for all over-the-counter medicine, published a list of more than 80 products that contain pseudoephredrine.
Martin Barnes, the chief executive of drug charity DrugScope, said restricting the availability of medicine which can be used to make crystal meth was "a sensible precautionary measure and should be supported".
"Pharmacists should be made fully aware of the potential for misuse of these medicines so they can alert the police about suspicious or bulk purchases," he said.
"Also, manufacturers might need to consider whether these ingredients are essential to their products, or whether alternatives could be found. "
He added: "Currently, availability of crystal meth in the UK is still very limited and it is important not to be alarmist, while at the same time ensuring that accurate and up to date information is available to the public about the risks and harms associated with the drug."
A spokesman for Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare, makers of Lemsip, said: "In the UK there is no evidence that the use of decongestant as a starter for methamphetamine is prevalent – and to our knowledge, no evidence whatsoever to suggest in anyway that the brand Lemsip has been used for such a practice.
"There are 2 types of Lemsip product, those containing pseudoephedrine and the majority of products which contain phenylephrine. All pseudoephedrine-containing medicines are already restricted to pharmacy sale and can only be sold under the supervision of a pharmacist or a trained assistant. They are not simply found on supermarket or chemist shelves."
