This is a weird one, so we're just going to lay it out here without getting cutesy about it. Chris Langham was a writer on The Muppet Show, and he filled in at the last minute when the scheduled guest star set himself on fire (really!). Later, he was also a convicted sex offender, which is why (we assume) this episode isn't on Disney+. (Anything goes! …see, that would've been weird.) We're completists, so we wanted to cover it anyway, and we hope you'll join us and very special guest star Shane Keating while we talk around Langham and get into the delightful “Friendship,” possibly racist Londoners, and one wild gnu. https://muppeturgy,com/episodes/chris-langham

Ever heard of a man so committed to eating for free that he made it a full-time job and a criminal record? Meet Edward Dando, the 19th-century Londoner who scammed his way through more oysters than a hangry TikTok influencer with a seafood sponsorship.In this Spill, we dive into the (surprisingly well-documented) life of a dude who got drunk, smashed shellfish, stiffed the bill, and then asked for more, like some kind of Victorian-era Chad. Was he a folk hero? A chaotic grifter? A man with a death wish and a stomach of steel? Join us as we try to figure out whether Dando was a menace to society or just one of history's greatest freeloaders.This one's fast, funny, and loaded with mollusks. Let's get into it.#oysters #truecrime #history #freeloader #edwarddando #arsenicculture #funnyhistory #londoncrimehttps://www.youtube.com/@arsenicculturehttps://instagram.com/arsenicculturehttps://tiktok.com/@arsenicculturehttps://www.facebook.com/arsenicculture/https://x.com/arsenicculture

"Aber wer hätte gedacht, [...] daß es zwei singenden Damen einfallen könnte, einander die Frisuren zu zerstören," wunderte sich der Autor eines im Juli 1727 veröffentlichten Pamphlets zur Londoner Opernszene. Die tumultartigen Szenen während einer Aufführung in Anwesenheit der Kronprinzessin warfen ein schlechtes Licht auf die von Georg Friedrich Händel (1685-1759) geleitete Royal Academie of Music und verärgerten sogar König Georg I. In dieser Episode sprechen wir darüber, wie es in der Welt der Barock-Oper zuging und ob der "tyrannische" Händel schlussendlich die sehr selbstbewussten Opern-Diven bändigen konnte. ▶ ACHTUNG: Registriere dich jetzt KOSTENLOS auf https://lesedusche.de/fe/registrieren und erhalte unsere Auswahl aus Romain Rollands Händel-Essay als Bonus!

When we think of Shakespeare collaborating with another writer, the name John Fletcher quickly comes to mind. Together they penned Two Noble Kinsmen, All is True (also known as Henry VIII), and the now-lost play Cardenio. But what do we actually know about the working relationship between these two men? Did they sit down side-by-side at a table to write, or pass drafts back and forth in letters? Thanks to new research into the living arrangements of early modern Londoners, we have fresh insight into the possibility that Fletcher and Shakespeare were not just professional collaborators—but next-door neighbors. This week, we're exploring the archival evidence that places them both on Bishopsgate Street in the late 16th century. Our guest is Domenico Lovascio, whose article “Giles, John, and Will: The Fletchers and Shakespeare in Bishopsgate Street, London, 1596” offers a compelling look at the real-life proximity of these famous playwrights.

Britain is racked by pay divides – on gender, race, age and education status. But one of its starkest inequalities centres on geography, which is far more complex than Londoners earning more than everyone else. But while regional pay inequality is widely discussed, what drives these divides is less well understood. And that really matters if we're to tackle these inequalities.

His friend the great scholar Desiderius Erasmus referred to Thomas More as “a Man for all seasons.” But which season? Or which Thomas More? Is he an advocate of conscience? A heroic defender of the Catholic faith? A saintly martyr? A fanatical zealot unwilling to listen to cool reason? An amateur inquisitor who lit the night with burning Lutherans and their books, and enjoyed little more than coming home after work for a torture session? Does every era get the Thomas More that it deserves?Thomas More was indeed a man of many twists and turns, a Tudor Odysseus. A Londoner; the grandson of a baker and son of a lawyer; a page in a noble household; an exceptional prose stylist, in Latin or English; a lawyer of exceptional diligence and skill; a guild member; a religious controversialist, able to match Martin Luther in scatology; a subtle humanist of European-wide fame; a poet; a politician; a bureaucrat; a royal advisor; a confessor of the faith; a prisoner; and a martyr. He was all those things, and more besides. With me to talk about the life and times of Thomas More is Joanne Paul, Associate Professor in Early Modern History at the University of Sussex. Her research focuses on the intellectual and cultural history of the Renaissance and Early Modern periods, written widely on Thomas More, William Shakespeare, Machiavelli and Thomas Hobbes. Her most recent book is Thomas More: A Life, which is the subject of our conversation today.For Further Investigation The web page of Joanne PaulThomas More: A LifeThe last time we talked about the Tudors on Historically ThinkingAnd the book we talked about with its author, Lucy E.C.

Millions of tourists flock to London each year, eager to snap a selfie in front of Buckingham Palace or Big Ben. But beyond the crowds lies a darker – and distinctly stranger – side to the city: a gothic metropolis haunted by tales of demons, poltergeists and murders most foul. Jon Bauckham talks to author and historian Clive Bloom about some of the capital's spookiest stories, and why he believes that the eeriest encounters tend to unfold in the most mundane of places. (Ad) Clive Bloom is the author of London Uncanny: A Gothic Guide to the Capital in Weird History and Fiction (Bloomsbury, 2025).

From the terror of being strangled by violent thieves to tales that the sewers were infested with a squealing band of pigs, 19th-century Londoners spent much of their time living in fear. Here, Emma Butcher and Tim Blythe reveal what seven such scare-mongering stories can tell us about the psyche of the capital: https://www.historyextra.com/membership/victorian-london-dangers-what-was-life-like/.

Als Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts wegen eines Krieges mit Frankreich in England der Gin-Nachschub versiegt, erlaubt König Wilhelm III. seinen Untertanen, uneingeschränkt Alkohol zu brennen. Vor allem in London fließt bald hochprozentiger, billiger Branntwein in Strömen, betrinken sich die Menschen vom Kind bis zum Greis. Die Regierung versucht, den »Gin-Wahn« einzudämmen – doch finden die Londoner immer neue Wege, an Schnaps zu kommen.

Immer wieder tauchen Berichte über den Einsatz von Uiguren als Zwangsarbeiter in China auf. Neue Recherchen des SPIEGEL zeigen nun das tatsächliche Ausmaß: Uiguren werden systematisch aus ihrer Heimatprovinz Xinjiang in andere Landesteile gebracht, wo sie unter teils prekären Bedingungen arbeiten müssen. Den Betroffenen drohen willkürliche Inhaftierungen, sie stehen unter ständiger Überwachung und sind oftmals in Wohnheimen untergebracht, die sie kaum verlassen dürfen. In der aktuellen Folge des SPIEGEL-Podcasts »Acht Milliarden« spricht Host Juan Moreno mit Christoph Giesen, SPIEGEL-Korrespondent in Peking. In einer langwierigen Recherche in Kooperation mit der »New York Times« und dem Londoner »The Bureau of Investigative Journalism« fanden Giesen und seine Kollegen 75 Werke in elf Provinzen, in denen Angehörige der muslimischen Minderheit arbeiten müssen. Zu den Profiteuren zählen mutmaßlich auch deutsche Unternehmen, da sie direkt oder indirekt von dieser Form der Ausbeutung profitieren könnten. Mehr zum Thema: (S+) Der VW-Konzern wollte beweisen, dass es in seinem umstrittenen Werk in Xinjiang keine Zwangsarbeit gibt.

Recent military clashes between India and Pakistan have set off alarm bells across the world as both countries have stockpiles of nuclear weapons. In the UK, Londoners are to be hit with new congestion charges, and in Slovakia, the meat from culled brown bears is to be offered to pubs and restaurants rather than being destroyed.

If you're a fashionista when you travel, there's a certain magic and charm that comes with dressing for the city you're exploring—not to try to fully blend in, but to become part of the story told by each destination. How to dress for a trip to New York, LA, Paris, London and Rome. If You Like to Bring Outfits on Vacation, Here's How to Do ItAt 1923 Main Street®, we believe your clothes should say as much about your journey as your photos do. Whether you're wandering through the lively streets of New York City, café-hopping in Paris, or soaking up the west coast vibes of LA, we've got you covered—literally.Let's talk travel style: unscripted, effortless and rooted in curiosity. Here's how to pack with purpose and style, wherever your itinerary takes you.Fashion-Forward Travel Outfits for Five Popular City DestinationsNew York City: Urban Pulse Meets Creative EdgeIn the city that never sleeps, your style needs to move with you—fast, fresh, and bold. For summer in NYC, keep it street-smart and breathable. Rock our Unscripted Statement graphic tee with relaxed cargo shorts or distressed denim. Swap the leather jacket for a lightweight button-down or leave it out altogether. High-top sneakers still rule, and bold sunglasses or a bucket hat add just enough edge without trying too hard. NYC style is about individuality—make a statement without shouting.For men, pair the same tee with slim, cuffed chinos or athletic shorts and standout sneakers. Leave the jacket at home, but keep the energy strong with layered chains or a structured cap. Whether you're downtown or crossing bridges, your look should feel effortless but always on.Paris: Effortless Chic on Cobblestone StreetsParisian style thrives on thoughtful simplicity, even in the summer. Trade heavy layers for a lightweight tee or tank (our Unscripted Dare to Roam design works perfectly) paired with high-waisted shorts or a breezy midi skirt. Add minimalist sneakers and a woven bag—or yes, a beret if you're feeling bold. The key: looking effortless while still turning heads. It's style without the show.For men, lean into quiet sophistication with a crisp tee, tapered chinos or linen pants, and clean leather sneakers. Swap the trench for a linen overshirt if there's a breeze. A slim watch and classic sunglasses seal the look. Parisian summer style whispers confidence—cool, collected, and always chic.Los Angeles: Laid-Back LuxeLA is home to many different categories of style, so your outfit here calls for comfort with a definite style edge. Our vintage-wash Roam Freely Wear Boldly tee is the perfect base for denim shorts, a flannel tied around the waist, and oversized sunglasses. This is a city where your look should feel as relaxed as your agenda—unplanned, free, and sun-kissed.For men, try our Unscripted Adventure Arch tee with joggers or shorts and comfy clean sneakers. Add a lightweight overshirt or open button-down for layering and finish with retro shades. London: Timeless Cool with a Rainy-Day TwistLondon style in summer is all about effortless cool and being ready for anything. Start with a breathable short-sleeve tee or linen shirt, then add tailored shorts or relaxed trousers. Swap boots for crisp white sneakers or sleek loafers, and don't forget a lightweight tote or statement sunglasses to elevate the look. Londoners master the mix of classic and unexpected—think a retro cap or a bold crossbody to finish it off. Sun or shade, the style always shines.For men, aim for laid-back polish with clean lines—our Unscripted Statement tee is a go-to. Wear it solo or toss on a light overshirt for breezy evenings. Pair with drawstring chinos or rolled denim, and complete the outfit with low-top trainers. A minimalist watch adds that refined summer touch. Londoners know how to make sunshine look effortless.Rome: Sun-Drenched Elegance with a Hint of DramaSummer in Rome is all about effortless elegance that sizzles with style. A linen-blend tee tucked into high-waisted trousers or a flowy midi skirt is perfect for wandering cobblestone streets or sipping espresso at a café. Add strappy leather sandals and oversized sunglasses for that classic Roman holiday feel. Gold accents—think hoop earrings, a sculptural cuff, or sleek cat-eye shades—bring just the right amount of drama. In Rome, style is art. Dress like you belong in a Fellini film.For men, keep it cool and polished with the same breathable tee, tailored linen pants or dressy shorts, and a slim leather belt. Loafers or crisp white sneakers are ideal for strolling through piazzas, and vintage-inspired sunglasses add a refined finish. In Rome, confidence is quiet and style is second nature—keep it sharp, simple, and sun-ready.The Key to it All: Blending in Without Losing YourselfThere's an art to the balance between respecting local culture and holding on to your personal style. That's where 1923 Main Street graphic designs really shine. Our designs are rooted in the soul of travel—each piece designed to evoke curiosity and wonder without shouting "tourist." It's about wearing your journey, not just walking through it. We know because we've lived it and each design has been thoughtfully created based on a very specific experience or destination.Packing Staples with Local Flair1923 Main Street t-shirt, sweatshirts and hoodies are designed to be versatile enough to wear in every corner of the world, yet each one has a story to tell. When packing, think layers: a tee for daytime exploring, a cozy hoodie for chilly nights, and a statement sweatshirt for those unexpected photo ops. Style them with city-specific accessories—scarves in Paris, a Yankees cap in NYC, or classic Ray-Bans in LA—and you've got a travel wardrobe that adapts, but never disappears.Travel-Inspired Designs for the Free-Spirited WandererAt 1923 Main Street, we design with the traveler in mind—those who believe the best moments are the unscripted ones. All of our designs are inspired by real places and the real people who wander them. These aren't just shirts—they're souvenirs in motion, crafted for the journey and the stories you'll tell after.Vibe with Your ItineraryYour clothes should move with your trip—not weigh it down. Whether you're brunching in a hidden Parisian café, wandering an arts district in LA, navigating subway stairs in NYC, or heading to a local pub in London, choose pieces that fit your mood, your moves and your moment. Comfort, confidence and curiosity all stitched together.Wherever your next adventure takes you, pack pieces that spark conversations and memories. Because at 1923 Main Street, we don't just make clothing—we dress the curious, the bold and the endlessly inspired.Unscripted journeys start with what you wear. So go ahead and Wear the Adventure.

When did people begin seeking anonymous advice for their most profound personal dilemmas? What can the answers to their early questions tell us about the emotional lives of people in the past?  We're traveling back in time to 1690s England to explore the world's first personal advice column, The Athenian Mercury. This two-sided broadsheet publication invited readers to send in questions about anything–from science and religion to love and marriage– and its creators, a small group of Londoners who dubbed themselves the “Athenian Society,” answered these queries with a surprising blend of wit, morality, and insight. Joining us for this investigation is Mary Beth Norton, the Mary Donlon Alger Professor Emerita at Cornell University and award-winning historian who is a trailblazer in the field of early American women's history.

For years, Londoners lived in fear of a shadowy predator known as the Croydon Cat Killer. More than 400 cats were found dead—mutilated, decapitated, or dismembered in what appeared to be calculated and sinister ways. Pet owners were terrified. The media ran wild. Scotland Yard launched a full-scale manhunt. But after four years of panic and a $170,000 investigation, authorities came to a shocking conclusion.

Patrick Katzenberg, general manager of The Londoner, a Preferred Hotel on London's Leicester Square, speaks with Alan Fine of Insider Travel Report about what makes the property the world's first “super boutique hotel.” Katzenberg shares how the hotel's central location, 350 rooms and suites, and eight stories above and below ground create a unique urban resort experience.

In the second episode of our London miniseries, James takes us back to 1665, when the Great Plague of London ravaged the city. With streets lined with plague doctors, houses marked with ominous red crosses, and a desperate government struggling to contain the outbreak, this was one of London's darkest times.James uncovers how the plague spread, how Londoners endured months of quarantine, and the eerie similarities between 17th-century lockdowns and the COVID-19 pandemic. From mass graves to ineffective cures, we explore how the city battled one of the worst health crises in history—and the lessons it still holds today.

Imprisonment was rarely used as punishment in Britain before 1800. The criminal justice system was based on terror and deterrence, sentencing convicts to the gallows at home and transportation overseas, with prisons serving primarily as holding spaces for the accused until the case against them was resolved. A major shift began in the late eighteenth century when imprisonment became an end in itself: a means to reform as well as to discipline criminal offenders. To Detain or to Punish: Magistrates and the Making of the London Prison System, 1750–1840 (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2025) by Dr. Kiran Mehta revisits this revolutionary moment as it played out in the metropolis of London. Dr. Mehta charts how Londoners, through their interactions with police, magistrates, and judges, became prisoners, and then follows them into the prison, revealing how these institutions were managed and experienced. Local authorities' increased use of imprisonment, for punishment as well as for detention, sparked the wholesale reconstruction and redesign of London's prison estate. It also spurred the consolidation of the modern notion that prisoners who had not yet been convicted of a crime, or who had not been sentenced to imprisonment, should be held separately from and treated differently to those incarcerated for punishment. Most notably, the requirement to labour became a distinguishing feature of punitive confinement. Challenging traditional ideas about who and what prisons were for and how they operated, To Detain or to Punish offers a radical reappraisal of London's prison system between 1750 and 1840.  This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Negotiating With Isabella.Based on a post by Ostrich Mack. Listen to the ► Podcast at Steamy Stories.Sex sells: Isabella's New Skills.Isabella Cobelli admired her reflection in the mirror. As you could guess from the name, Isabella had Italian roots.Her father emigrated from Italy in the eighties and met and married Isabella's English mother.Isabella was an only child and after her father passed away suddenly when she was 14, she became very close to her mum.Now 23 years old and graduated with an honors degree in marketing, she had matured into a beautiful young woman. Isabella had Raven-black straight hair which hung all the way down to the small of her back. She often wore it in a French plait which meant her pretty face was plain to see.Isabella had light olive skin and funnily enough an sprinkling of freckles across her nose. Her hazel colored eyes were almond shaped and her eyebrows were thicker than was considered classical beauty. Her lips looked eminently kissable.Today Isabella had chosen a slightly daring red lipstick to emphasize the shape of her pretty mouth.Her outfit was business-like and sexy at the same time. Thigh high stockings under a grey pencil skirt, topped by a matching Bolero jacket over a semi sheer impeccable white blouse. Isabella liked to dress in pretty underwear and had chosen a half-cup lace bra and matching thong. To complete the look, she had chosen two inch heels in black to give her a little more height than her 1 meter 65.So, why all this bother to get all dressed up? After graduating Isabella tried to break into a marketing job. As the economy was in a major dip, jobs in marketing were few and far between. In fact marketing experts were all looking over their shoulders, hoping not to get their exit cards.Isabella got a job eventually in sales. Not her strongest point and she hated when people assumed that sales and marketing were one and the same. ECO-Hygiene was an up and coming supplier of Eco-friendly products for industrial use.After two months there Isabella's sales figures were under target, and she was concerned that she might just get her marching orders if she didn't at least hit her goals. As a newcomer she was assigned an area in which her predecessor had failed to drum up enough business. This geographically difficult area lay half in the urban sprawl of London and half in the leafy suburbs of Sussex. Isabella was struggling and desperate to get some decent sales under her belt. Thus, what a relief it was when, two weeks ago, all of the sales reps were invited for a weekend sales seminar in one London's prestigious hotels. All of this on their free time of course.After checking in on Friday evening, Isabella decided to have one glass of wine at the bar to see if there was any male talent attending the seminar. For some reason, despite her beauty, she didn't seem to be able to hold down a relationship for long. Men of her own age bored her. They were mostly full of themselves and only wanted to talk about their amazing feats. Isabella had missed a father for her formative years and found herself graduating towards more mature men. Problem there was that most of them were married, or un-marriable, or just plain creepy.As she sat at the bar observing the melee of sales reps loudly proclaiming their victories, Isabella was shocked when a woman sat next to her and offered her a drink."Kate", the woman said."Excuse me?" replied Isabella."Kate Connors. Senior sales director for South East" came the reply."Oh, nice to meet you." Said Isabella. "Isabella Cobrelli, My friends call me Izzy" she replied offering her hand to Kate who shook it firmly."So what do you think? Any talent in here tonight?" asked Kate.Isabella blushed."Aw come on", said Kate. "I know the drill. Been here many times and had my share of dalliances""Well" said Isabella "Up until now, not much interesting to see here. Just lot of guys full of themselves holding a pissing contest."Kate laughed out loud. "I like it" she said. "You call it as it is young lady.""What in god's name brings a beautiful woman like you to a sales conference for Industrial Hygiene products?""Well, it wasn't my first choice, and it may not be sexy, but it pays the rent." Answered Isabella."It should damn well do more than just pay the rent." Answered Kate. "What are your sales figures like?" she asked.Isabella blushed once more. "It's a struggle." She answered. "I haven't been able to score any big accounts yet and I am worried I might not hit the target.""Well maybe I can help you." Replied Kate. "After all I didn't get my position by not meeting my sales targets.""Tell me your tactics." Kate asked."Well, I like to dress in a business attire so that I look serious about the product. I make sure I know all of the specs of the particular products that I want to sell on the day, so I am well prepared for the pitch. But somehow it just seems to fall flat when I am there.""What is business attire?" Kate asked."Trouser suit with a nice blouse. Low heels for practicality." Isabella replied."Humph," snorted Kate. "No wonder that the presentations fall flat. You need to make it personal. Sure, you should be all business, but you need to be sexy too. Let me guess, most of the clients are 45 plus males bored out of their minds. You need to give their day a boost. Bring something that gets their attention, and not just the product. Don't forget there are a so many industrial hygiene products on the market, and they all do the same thing. You need to make the men want to see YOU again."Isabella listened carefully to this charismatic woman, totally in awe of her self-confidence. She quietly wished she could be like her.Kate continued. "I have done all sorts to get my sales figures up, including entertaining the clients in the broadest possible sense. These men have a boring married vanilla life. They crave excitement and attention. While their wives are away at the Rotary Club organizing charity things, the men are sitting home bored out of their skulls. Work is the same thing day after day until YOU show up. Not in a pantsuit and a blouse laced up to the neck, but in something which gives their fantasy food for thought. The women too. I have also put myself out there and entertained women."Isabella was shocked and blushed intensely. Kate was basically saying she should whore herself out to get the sale."Women too?" she asked shyly."Don't knock it till you've tried it." Replied Kate. "I have had amazing encounters with women too. And though I am not gay, I do enjoy a dally with the softer sex. Haven't you ever experimented in college?"Isabella felt like she was turning purple. "No. Never." She replied."Well play your cards right and tonight might be the first night." Kate replied.Isabella was shocked and turned on at the same time.What if she could seduce her regional sales manager? She thought. That might go some way to keeping her job.Kate signaled the bartender. "A bottle of champagne." She ordered. The bartender nodded and made a gesture toward a booth on the other side of the bar.Kate wasted no time and took Isabella's hand in hers, dragging her across the bar.The sat next to each other, watching the show.Kate turned to Isabella. "Drink up. The show has just begun. Just watch how stupid it gets."Isabella took a sip of her glass and sat back to observe. "Idiots," she thought. "Tomorrow they will be too hungover to follow the seminar."The buzz from the champagne made Isabella relax and she began to fire more questions at Kate."What did you do with all those male clients then?" she asked."Everything." Replied Kate. "From flirting to blow jobs, from blow jobs to sex, to threesomes, to gang bangs. Just as long as I got my sales. My commissions were huge, I bought my house and car for cash with everything I earned. Men are stupid. They think with their dick, and once that is engaged then they will sign anything.""And the women then?" asked Isabella."Ah that is a different story." Kate replied. "That needs a lot more subtlety.""I can show you if you want." Kate offered.Isabella though about it for some minutes, whilst watching the meat market in front of them."Okay." She said. "Show me."Kate turned to her in shock. "Really?" She asked."Yes really." Isabella replied. "I have nothing to lose and everything to gain from your experience. And besides, for some reason the thought of it makes me horny.""Right." Said Kate. "Let's take this upstairs."Kate took Isabella by the hand and lead her to the lifts. They stepped in together and Kate pushed the button for the top floor. As soon as the lift doors closed, she took Isabella in her arms and kissed her gently on the lips. Isabella swooned from the alcohol and the excitement of this new adventure. It didn't take long before she responded to Kate, kissing her passionately back, her tongue exploring Kate's mouth.Kate moaned with pleasure. "Umm; Hmm. You're good at this. Sure you haven't tried this before?"Isabella grinned and said. "Definitely not. Good catholic upbringing don't you know."They arrived at Kate's floor and exited the lift. Kate's suite was just a few meters away, and when they got there Kate fumbled to get the key to work. Isabella took the key from her gently and held it against the lock. She was amazingly calm, determined to enjoy the ride wherever that might take her.Laughing, both Kate and Isabella fell through the door into the suite. Isabella couldn't help but be impressed. "So, this is what a Senior regional manager gets," she thought. "Not bad at all."There was a bottle of champagne on ice on the hall table and Kate proceeded to open it.She poured two glasses and passed one to Isabella. "Cheers Izzy." She said, raising her glass."Cheers." Isabella replied.Kate took a draught and put her glass on the table. She took Isabella in her arms and kissed her passionately on the lips. Isabella responded with her tongue and soon they were locked in a passionate embrace.Kate opened the buttons on Isabella's blouse one by one until it was completely open.She pushed the blouse back over Isabella's shoulders leaving er bra exposed. Kate bent forward and kissed Isabella's tits through the bra. Isabella held her breath, not knowing how she would react.She was surprised that it really turned her on to have all this attention to her tits. She felt her panties getting moist.Isabella decided to take some initiative herself, and opened the buttons on Kate's blouse. Kate groaned in anticipation. Isabella rubbed her thumb over Kate's right nipple and then over the left. Kate groaned even harder. Isabella moved her finger under the fabric of Kate's bra and pinched gently with her thumb and forefinger on Kate's nipples.Kate moved her arms around Isabella's back and unclasped her bra, freeing her 32c tits. Isabella's nipples were hard as bullets. Kate couldn't resist and lowered her mouth on first one and then the other nipple.Isabella felt a shockwave go through her whole body. Her juices were now flowing freely and she felt her panties get dripping wet. Not to be outdone she released Kate's 36 c tits from their restraint and copied Kate's sucking and licking.Kate almost crumpled at the knees. For a first timer Isabella sure learned quickly."Wait." She said. "Let's take this to the bed.""Yes please." said Isabella.They half stumbled to the bed, taking their skirts off in the process.Isabella stood before Kate with only her panties and her thigh high stocking still left on. Her cunt was on fire and leaking like a fire hydrant. Her juices were running down her thighs.Kate took a moment to admire this beautiful woman in front of her before slowly rolling her panties down her thighs, over the stockings and down to the floor.Isabella stepped out of her panties. She lay down on the bed, her hand demurely over her cunt.Kate knelt down at the side of the bed and removed Isabella's hand from her cunt. Kate sat admiring the neatly trimmed cunt in front of her, all the while sniffing the scent of Isabella's sex.Isabella was panting with desire. Her cunt on fire, her juices flowing freely and her nipples hard and sore. The anticipation of what was about to happen was excruciating.And then. Kate leaned forward and drew her tongue slowly from the bottom of Isabella's lips. Slowly licking and penetrating Isabella's sex.Isabella held her breath. Her heart was beating at 200 beats per minute, or so she thought.Kate was gentle. Each time drawing her tongue from under to above. Gently she penetrated Isabella with first one, and the two fingers. Isabella gasped.Kate moved once more upwards, and this time stopped at Isabella's clit. She gently licked at Isabella's love bud taking it gently between her lips and massaging it with her tongue.Inside Isabella something exploded. Her brain seemed to short circuit and her legs began to tremble uncontrollably. Her hands grabbed the back of Kate's head and pushed her harder into her cunt. Her orgasm was coming and there was nothing going to stop it.A tsunami of electric shocks shot through Isabella's body. There was no more control. Her muscles and nerves exploded in ecstasy and her juices simply spurted out of her cunt. Isabella screamed her orgasm out as hard as she could. It was an animalistic sound which she had never heard before.

The Anderson Shelter, the pop-up sheds distributed to millions of Londoners during the Blitz was first erected on February 25th, 1939 - in the garden of Mrs. Spong, in Carlsbad Street, Islington. Devised to protect civilians from Nazi air raids, and handed out free to those who earned under £5 per week, the shelters were dug four metres into the ground and covered with earth, provided cramped but potentially life-saving cover for families during bombings. In this episode, The Retrospectors reveal why, nonetheless, millions of Londoners sought refuge in Underground stations; discover the creative external decorations proud homeowners adorned to their shelters; and consider how such terrifying experiences transmuted into fond memories for so many survivors… Further Reading: ‘How to construct an Anderson Shelter' (The National Archives): https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/resources/home-front-1939-1945-part-one/how-to-construct-an-anderson-shelter/ ‘How Britain's abandoned Anderson shelters are being brought back to life' (The Guardian, 2018): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/aug/21/how-britains-abandoned-anderson-shelters-are-being-brought-back-to-life ‘Your Anderson Shelter This Winter' (British Pathé, 1940): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHyxP3epU-w This episode first aired in 2024 Love the show?

His journey turned into a mystery, marked by sightings of a semi-truck driving erratically and Devin's last known moments of confusion. Despite an abandoned truck with undisturbed cargo and the eerie discovery of his skull two years later, the question remains: What happened to Devin Williams in those remote woods? (The Bizarre Disappearance of Truck Driver Devin Williams) *** What do astronomers say about those who deny the moon landing really took place? The conspiracy theory gets an assist from, believe it or not, the New York Mets! (The Faked Moon Landing And The New York Mets) *** New England has a lot of great places to visit, and travel times to these locations are minimal. One of the most infamous would be Rhode Island – home to story of vampire Mercy Brown. (Vampires of Rhode Island) *** Until the Humpty Doo poltergeist outbreak of 1998, Australia's most notorious poltergeist was a very persistent, wall-bashing, stone-throwing entity known as the “Guyra Ghost” which terrorized William Bowen, his wife and three children in their tiny weatherboard cottage just outside Guyra, New South Wales in early 1921. (The Guyra Ghost) *** In 1814, London experienced one of the most bizarre disasters in British history. An unfortunate chain of events at the Horseshoe Brewery led to the death of 8 women and children as they were caught up in London's Great Beer Flood. But, what really happened? And, did Londoners really get drunk, as beer flowed past their homes in the streets, free for the taking? (The Great London Beer Flood) *** Ghost marriages in China have led to a very unsavory and deeply disturbing trade. They are called ghost marriages, because the groom is given a dead woman to marry… often forced to do so. And the stories are, understandably, horrifying.
