Why settle down to some humdrum uncongenial billet, when excitement, romance, danger and a decent living were all going begging together?"- A. J. Raffles, The Ides of March.The Amateur Cracksman is the first collection of stories about A. J. Raffles, gentleman, cricketer, and thief. After stopping his old school friend, Bunny Manders, from a desperate attempt at suicide, Raffles introduces the unsuspecting Bunny to a new way of earning a living, burglary. Though frequently horrified by Raffles's actions, the conscience-stricken Bunny stands by him through all their adventures, firm to his promise, "When you want me, I'm your man!"

What did Tudor families do at Christmas once the feasting slowed, the music quietened, and the Yule log glowed on the hearth? They played games, and some of them are still incredibly fun today. Welcome to Day 4 of my Tudor Christmas Advent series! I'm historian and author Claire Ridgway, and today we're stepping into the warm, bustling world of Tudor fireside entertainment. From nobles in great halls to sailors aboard the Mary Rose, people in Tudor England filled the long winter evenings with: - Dice games like Cent, Raffles, and Passage - Card games from gentle Noddy to high-stakes Primero — Henry VIII's favourite - Board games including backgammon (“tables”), chess, Fox and Geese, and Nine Men's Morris - Shove-board and early billiards for the elite - And simple household fun like pick-up sticks These games weren't just entertainment. They were connection - a way for families and communities to share laughter, competition, mischief, and companionship throughout the Twelve Days of Christmas. If you're enjoying this festive journey through Tudor history, please like, subscribe, and ring the bell - more Christmas magic is coming tomorrow!   #TudorChristmas #TudorHistory #ChristmasTraditions #HistoryWithClaire #HenryVIII #MedievalGames #TwelveDaysOfChristmas #AnneBoleynFiles #ChristmasHistory

In this episode of That Don't Sound Right, Peter and Cecil dive into one of Cecil's most unbelievable real-life stories — the day he actually won a brand-new 1990 Mazda Miata in a high school raffle while he was in pharmacy school. From the shock of hearing his name called, to picking up the shiny red roadster, to the reactions on campus, Cecil walks through every twist of this once-in-a-lifetime moment. The hosts mix nostalgia, humor, and everyday practicality as they unpack the excitement of owning a new roadster… and the unexpected tax bill that came with it. In true That Don't Sound Right fashion, the story ends with a grounded decision that still gets laughs, head shakes, and “you did what?” reactions today. If you love real stories, good conversation, and the kind of luck that makes you say “that don't sound right”, this episode is a ride worth taking. Connect with us:

A Catholic priest in Pennsylvania took his parishioners for a joyride after confessing to rigging a church fundraising raffle for a Corvette Stingray. The scheme was run with unchecked authority over parish funds, enabling him to award phony prizes to friends while running up a massive $300,000 American Express tab paid by the church. This shocking case highlights the petty corruption and financial malfeasance that runs rampant when religious institutions operate without oversight, exploiting the faithful for personal gain and high-end consumer luxury.  News Source: Pennsylvania Priest Accused of Rigging Corvette Raffle, Using Church Funds to Pay Off American Express Bill By Hemet Mehta for The Friendly Atheist August 11th, 2025
