But Wolfe, a self-confessed addict who has been blamed for leading Doherty into coc aine and heroin addiction, claimed he and Miss Whitehead had not taken anything illegal. ''We were drinking lovely Twinings tea and all of that.' he said. 'She had not done drugs that night.' Slurring his words and unsteady on his feet, 41-year-old Wolfe added: 'Robin's thing was art. When we were together we were helping each other stay sober.

Former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney has revealed he once tried heroin at the height of the legendary band's success. "I didn't realise I'd taken it - I was just handed something and smoked it," he told Uncut magazine, adding: "It didn't do anything for me."
Sir Paul also revealed that he and fellow Beatle John Lennon had dabbled with another addictive substance during their schooldays - tea.
"We'd stuff some Twining Tea in a pipe, smoke that and write songs."

What the heck is on top of that monument?
Wren and Hooke built the monument to double-up as a scientific instrument. It has a central shaft meant for use as a zenith telescope and for use in gravity and pendulum experiments that connects to an underground laboratory for observers to work (accessible from the present-day ticket booth). Vibrations from heavy traffic on Fish Hill rendered the experimental conditions unsuitable. A hinged lid in the urn covers the opening to the shaft. The steps in the shaft of the tower are all six inches high, allowing them to be used for barometric pressure studies.

I hate to nit pick after such a good post but France didn't really win the Hundred Years War. The Hundred Years War ended because of war in England between the Houses of York and Lancaster rather than because of any ultimate French victory - indeed the entire war was fought in France and at sea (although England dominated the sea after the Battle of Sleuys, right at the start of the conflict). Indeed, it was this battle that allowed the war to be fought in France in its entirety.
Sorry for going off topic but as a history buff i find these things rather important (sad of me i know). Other than that, great post

I don't know. Just thinking out loud.
