              Mayfair if money were no object, is best-known for his radio show

              a hellish place the countryside is. He's a townie through and through 
              who was brought up under the shadow of the Westway. And despite 
              the fact that he's QPR follower, he is a big footie fan. </font></p>

              truly obscure. If you haven't already, give it a listen. </font></p>

              The five-bedroom, four-storey townhouse cost the couple a little 
              more than �2 million two years ago and is believed to have been 
              sold for just less than �2.8 million. The couple, their baby Joe 
              and Winslet's daughter Mia, three, are moving to �3.3 million, 14th-century 
              Westcote Manor in the Cotswolds.<br>
              <br>
              The eight-bedroom property is in 22 acres. Renovations worth �1.5 
              million are being completed. A barn has been turned into a cinema, 
              rehearsal room and film-editing suite. Yesterday afternoon removals 
              men took the couple's possessions into storage while they carry 
              on working in New York. The sale was confirmed by Winslet's New 
              York-based publicist, Robert Garloch. "I would say it went through 
              in the last week or so," he said. "Kate only told me she put the 
              house up for sale three or four weeks ago." <br>

              there to see their new grandchild soon. Kate married Sam in May 
              2003, and she already has daughter Mia, aged three. Mia is apparently

              A full list of dates is available at <b><a href="http://www.julianclary.net/" target="_blank">www.julianclary.net</a></b>. 
              <br>
              <br>
              <br>
              Julian Clary was born 25 May, 1959 in Teddington, Middlesex, England. 
              He is best known for his camp television comp�reing in outrageous 
              costumes and his endless stream of sexual double entendres and puns. 
              <br>
              <br>
              He provided the British public with an out gay man who was also 
              upfront about sex and sexuality. Julian Clary went to a strict Catholic 
              school in Ealing. He studied English and drama at Goldsmith's College, 
              in south London. He has had a variety of jobs including a guard 
              on the London Underground and a singing telegram. At the age of 
              19 he had a girlfriend but after she left him he started a relationship 
              with a barman at the Old Vic. <br>
              <br>
              He started on the London comedy circuit as "Gillian Pie-Face", wearing 
              a kaftan, beads, and pink wig. His d�but television appearance was 
              on Channel 4 in Cabaret at the Jongleurs in 1988 as "The Joan Collins 
              Fan Club" with Fanny the Wonderdog. Fanny retired in 1988. <br>
              <br>
              Also in the late 1980s he fell for Christopher and they became lovers. 
              They lost contact but then Christopher turned up diagnosed HIV positive. 
              They lived together until Christopher's death three years later 
              and Julian Clary scattered the ashes on a beach in Portugal where 
              they had spent a happy holiday together. <br>
              <br>
              In 1993 he was the comp�re of the British Comedy Awards which was 
              being broadcast live on television. A sexual joke involving Norman 
              Lamont, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, received uproarious laughter 
              from the celebrity audience. Although there were only 12 complaints 
              from a viewing audience of 3 million, the next day's press was indignant 
              and called for him to be banned from television. <br>
              </font></p>
            <p><font size="1"> As a result Julian Clary went on tour in Australia. 
              He returned to Britain in 1995 and took up acting and comp�reing 
              again. </font></p>

              to hospital to have a 12 inch steel rod removed from her leg. <br>
              <br>
              She was mugged in Islington after a night out with fellow contestant 
              Scott in August. Her knee and thigh were shattered when she was 
              pushed to the ground. <br>
              <br>
              Nush said: "I can't wait. I need physiotherapy to help me walk normally

              Nush injured in mugging - 22/08/03</b><br>
              Kentish Town resident and Big Brother babe Nush is in hospital after 
              being attacked by a mugger� <br>
              <br>
              She was out with fellow Big Brother mates Scott and Jon, and they 
              were returning from their night out at 4 a.m when the mugger struck. 
              He pounced on the yoga fanatic and tried to snatch her bag, but 
              Nush struggled with him and was pushed to the ground, sustaining 
              a serious injury to her leg and kneecap. <br>
              <br>
              The mugger ran off with her bag and Scott called an ambulance. Nush 
              has now undergone emergency surgery to insert wires and a metal 
              rod into her leg to pin her broken kneecap and femur at the Royal 
              Free Hospital in Hampstead. This incident could prove costly to 
              Nush, as now not only has her bag, money and mobile been stolen, 
              but a fitness video that she was going to film has been put on hold 
              while she recovers. <br>
              <br>
              Nush Nowak came to public attention as the hippy yoga loving gal 
              on Big Brother 4, who hugged everyone when she walked in and was 
              rumoured to have a romance with fellow contestant Scott.</font></p>

              covered many different fields: author; lecturer; television producer 
              and presenter; theatre, operatic and film director. <br>
              <br>
              Miller made his operatic debut in 1973, and has directed at many 
              of the world's great opera houses. In 1978 he made his debut with 
              the English National Opera. He has worked in television and his 
              series on the history of medicine, The Body in Question, made him 
              a household name.<br>
              <br>
              During 1980/81 he directed 12 plays in the BBC's prestigious Shakespeare.

              on a distinguished broadcasting career. She'll never be allowed

              making the curtains rot. It's changed beyond recognition, but I
