The Last Chapter
So I went trough Smith's bio of The Soldier and inevitably arrived to the last chapter. You know, the one with dreadful revelations. The author is beating around the bush, I will not. Let's state aloud and clear that Smith claims Lawrence Oates raped eleven years old girl in summer of 1899. I find it gross to the point of nausea that the author calls it „a brief liaison” and „a romance”.
One might think that when you sling such serious accusations, you should provide some really solid evidence to support them. Well, no. The last chapter provides as much sources as a gossip column, that means none. But let's analyse things a bit deeper.
The girl was named Henrietta McKendrick, born in Johnstone, and indeed such a person did exist, I checked in Scottish birth registers. Census data though shows that the very same Henrietta McKendrick still lived in Johnstone in 1901, a year after the alleged child was born and six years after she allegedly left her hometown for good.
The details of how Oates and his supposed victim crossed paths are, well, non-existent. We are told to believe that they did, without any explanation where and in what circumstances. Heck, we don't even know where Henrietta lived at that time.
Equally hazy are the circumstances of the child's birth, which was supposed to happen somewhere in Ireland in 1900, but we shouldn't search for the birth certificate because it probably does not exist due to secrecy. That is such an idiotic claim that it made my jaw drop, because, you know, registering births has been mandatory in good ole UK (which Ireland was a part of in 1900) since like 1875 if memory serves me well, any way it was already mandatory in 1900. If secrecy demanded hiding the father's name, the solution was delightfully simple: the space for said name was left blank, or unlucky mother just invented something on the spot. So these claims by Smith have more than a whiff of a horseshit, to use terminology no doubt close to Soldier's heart.
The child was named Kathleen Gray and handed to Blanche Wright and Ellen B. Kingsford who ran a house for out of wedlock kids. Both ladies existed and indeed run such a house, so at least something checks up. I wasn't able to dig up much about Kathleen and her children, John and Gillian (maybe my record-fu got a tad rusty). One curious tidbit is though that Henrietta somehow „had overcome her early motherhood” and married certain Anthony Cooper in 1918. I mean the girl was twelve, TWELVE! when she gave birth, her father was already in grave, but we are told to believe she just somehow „had overcome” it. What was she doing after leaving the child in the orphanage, how did she support herself, how did she bounce from being in deep troubles ad bad material situation, to becoming well off woman and a doctor's wife? No word of explanation, dear readers just believe when autor says she had overcome it. Can you smell horseshit? Because I can.
Another quite funny tidbit is a memory of Gillian who, with her mother and brother John, went to see”Scott of the Anctarctic” in London's Odeon at Leicester square. According to that memory in the foyer they saf the life sized cardboard cutouts and got shocked at striking likeness of the brother with Oates. Well, I searched the et up and down, examined photos, watched the clips and haven't spotted even a single cardboard cutout in that foyer. There were the posters on the wall, sure, but the faces on them belonged to the actors from the aforementioned movie. So Gillian, it seems, got shocked over Derek Bond, who indeed is very much a look alike for the chap from the picture allegedly depicting John, much more than Lawrence Oates.
Overall, that last chapter, devoid of any serious sources, reads more like a tabloid than a part of serious biographical book and I am seriously surprised Smith decided to put such undocumented pile of crap in this, otherwise quite valuable, book. Especially that the allegiations contained in it are very, very heavy and Lawrence Oates, being dead for over a century, cannot defend himself. It certainly stings when I see that uproven claptrap even in The Soldier's Wikipedia article. Shame on you, Michael Smith.

ARCHDRUID FALSELY BRANDED A NAZI BY SEXUALLY DEVIANT SHINNER SHE-DEVIL!
by Gilliane Manning, womans editor. It is completely false and totally untrue that the Archdruid of tara and Ireland Michael mcGrath is a nazi. This was charged some years ago without any evidence by the now defunct Sinn Fein propaganda sheet “An Phoblacht” that actually preached murder and mayhem in its time.

Monica and Kathleen, two women in their 70s from Vancouver, British Columbia, invite me to come and stay with them there within 10 minutes of my sitting down. They are wearing matching pink T-shirts that read “Girls trip 2022: cheaper than therapy.” They didn’t know it was a Gone Girl–themed cruise until they boarded the ship. “We thought it was like: You’re gone, girl! Like it was a women’s travel thing,” one said.

The Promise by Emily Shiner is a thriller with an interesting and unique premise, but which ultimately falls short in its execution.
The story focuses on three main characters (Scott, Erin, and Kathleen), and is told from their alternating points of view. Scott is married to Erin, and is controlling to a scary degree. So much so, in fact, that he has decided to trick Erin into getting a kidney transplant under the guise of donating the organ. And the donor/recipient? Well, that's Kathleen ... sort of.
Scott, as previously mentioned, is controlling. He’s also extremely fixated on the idea of Erin being a healthy mother for their future children, so, when her doctor mentions to him there were indications that her kidney could have issues down the line, he immediately decides the best course of action is to hide this from her, and trick her into a kidney transplant. There’s a convoluted plot with a fake twin, and everyone, bar Erin, believes they’re stealing an organ from someone else. Kathleen, therefore, isn’t the innocent recipient Erin believes she is. No, she has decided that she and her daughter will be stealing both of Erin’s kidneys, leaving her dead. Kathleen has Alport syndrome, and has already undergone a transplant years ago. It didn’t work, though. And although her daughter isn’t showing any signs of the syndrome, the possibility is there. Naturally, Kathleen decides to poison her daughter to keep her sick enough to agree to a transplant.
Telling a story from different characters’ viewpoints is a tricky thing to undertake. If done well, it can be absolutely fantastic (think Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn). However, if done incorrectly, the narrative can feel very slow, even redundant.
That, in a nutshell, is the issue we see in The Promise. Shiner attempts to keep the tension going by rapidly switching between characters, but as this happens chronologically in the story as well as the book itself, readers are simply given the same scene with no real differences. Shiner also tries to end each chapter on a cliffhanger, but these, too, quickly become repetitive. They’re meant to be ominous, but they essentially boil down to each character restating their main motivation and/or feelings about the situation. These don’t change, so after the first few instances, it feels as though the same chapter is being reused.
Any sense of suspense is quickly lost, as any twist is revealed so early in the narrative that it’s not surprising, or even entertaining. For example, within the first chapter, Scott’s plan is more or less revealed. This topic is also the only thing the characters contemplate, so beyond that, there really isn’t anything else to them. Each can be summed up in a single word. Scott is controlling, Erin is naive, Kathleen is desperate.
What frustrated me the most, though, was that none of the characters face the consequences of their actions, nor learn from them. Several characters do some truly abhorrent things, but these are either forgiven or simply never addressed again. The book ends with nothing really resolved, with what’s meant to be a final twist, but what really feels like a final attempt to shock the reader, with nothing to really support it.
There’s also an odd emphasis on the fact that Kathleen should be “a good donor”. Erin actually stalks her to her place of work, to grill her and decide if she deserves a new kidney, essentially. I’m unsure if this is meant to be a way to show that Erin isn’t quite as good as she thinks she is, or if it’s genuinely what the author believes. Scott expresses similar views, though Kathleen does not.
Overall, I believe that The Promise has the potential to be a genuinely interesting novel, but with its lack of suspense, bland characters, and repetitive chapters, it’s simply a slog to get through, with no final payoff.
Final Rating: 🌟🌟

Harrison Ford: 2020 summary
A year like no other, as you must have heard countless times. The pandemic changed almost everybody´s life on this planet and Harrison wasn´t an exception. Our lil´ bean is strong and healthy but also has to be safe at home, so this year didn´t deliver many news about Harrison. Still, we had a new Harrison movie, The Call of the Wild, released in February, and a few other events before the lockdown. 2020 was also marked by the death of 3 former Harrison´s costars: Chadwick Boseman, Sean Connery and David Prowse. May all of them rest on peace on Heaven.
A new year begins, and we all wish Harrison (and everyone by the way) a productive, happy and healthy 2021. Stay safe!

Disney Reportedly Wants Harrison Ford For Indiana Jones Streaming Show 
Thankfully, then, it seems that the fifth (Indiana Jones) outing may not be the last we see of the actor in the role, as insider Daniel Richtman claims that Disney wants Ford to appear in a series that’s being developed for their streaming service. Further details are unclear and the tipster doesn’t say if it’s an all-new show or a reboot of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, but as one of the Mouse House’s most valuable assets, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they wanted to continue mining the property once Indiana Jones 5 wraps up the big screen stories for good. 
Thanks everyone! Hopefully in 2021 the pandemic will fade and the world will return to normalcy. Luckily the production of Indiana Jones V will start this spring, as well as other Harrison projects such the tv show The Staircase and the movie starring with Ed Elms. Fingers crossed for a year full of (good) news about Harrison. Have a happy and safe 2021.
