(Yes, she is wearing a blonde wig🤭💚)

London, May 13, 2022

The stride of her heels vibrated to the calculated movements of the young blond woman as she lent herself to reach the motel reception desk.

"I have an 'appointment with Mr. Ethan Fisher" she coquettishly announced to the receptionist "at your bar for tea."

Eden was perfectly cast in the role, stealing the identity of Fisher's client, one of Williard George's best friends and backer had been a joke. All it had taken was a little sleeping pill in the woman's coffee and she was kaput, and amazingly she even looked like her.

"There you are, Anita Morgan. You can have a seat, I'll call the customer right away."

"Very kind" in a melodious voice thanked the man, walking toward the dining area of the five-star hotel.

"You should teach me one day how to play mindless Ken" Ghost's voice from the invisible earpiece sojourned to her ears. He had offered to help her mostly out of a sense of protection for his girlfriend, standing in one of the rooms in front of the 'five-star hotel where the meeting would take place, with his trusty sniper rifle.

"You are too tough to be a Ken, at best you could be Action Man" Reggie, the hacking specialist gave his opinion. Bursting out laughing would not have been the 'most appropriate option. It would have blown up the whole 'operation.

"What's the situation like? The idiot is taking longer than he should."

"At the moment he seems clean, he is no longer in the room" Ghost updated on the situation.

"I still remember when at the orphanage I stole a Barbie and an Action Man to mate them. It was funny to see the look on that little bitch child's face" Reggie however paused not hearing Ghost and Eden speak. They were flabbergasted at how Reggie was talking about it.

Eden was about to say she was doing the same but a dapper man approached her, escorted by two bodyguards. Ethan Fisher, a fairly prominent broker from Canary Wharf.

"Anita, what a good wind" the elderly man sat down ordering a green tea "I thought your husband would show up this time."

"Usual engagements, you know being a broker requires" Eden took the mirror from her clutch bag "very busy" then stared at her reflection in it, from a distance she could see the bulky figure of Ghost, focused more than ever. At the same moment one of the bodyguards placed a briefcase in front of the woman, inside was several cash and documents.

"This is the evidence, Jeffrey has his back covered. And I really hope one of these days you can come over for dinner. Or watch some horse races. Letting that horse win was the fairest choice he could have made" the man''s thunderous laughter drew all the people in the restaurant.

Eden laughed probably, with the most fake laugh she could show but she had to act didn't she?

"And my husband Arthur will be pleased to come mon ami."

After a while the meeting between the two ended, with that handshake that would be Fisher's conviction and one more piece to prove George's guilt in 'backing Makarov.

"Glad to have seen you again Anita" the man shook Eden's hand, initially in a gentle way until he made her come dangerously close to him with that tug.Just in case Simon had his trigger at hand.

"I hope you can understand that if I go down you too will end up the same way."

She could have broken his arm but decided to play the frightened woman to be believable.

"Don't worry Mr. Fisher, you have my word that nothing will happen" with that renowned confidence Eden was left by the broker and joined by Ghost, playing her bodyguard.

"Nice mask, perfect for scaring" Fisher laughed. Ghost was between punching him and wanting to throw him into the first glass window possible, fortunately, however, the encounter between the broker and Eden ended in "tarallucci e vino" a famous Italian saying that meant in the best possible way.

Together the couple went outside, crossing that area as bodyguards and bosses to keep out of sight.

"That suit gives you 'too severe an air, you look like Judy Dench in 007" blurted out Simon as they reached the BMW courtesy of C, current head of MI6. An internal investigation could only be given with their consent.

"Shush, she's hot," she murmured between her teeth smiling, looking forward to having to conclude this sham set-up.

"Glad to know you are alive."

Ken Wharf (Princess Diana's bodyguard) ells NBC news that he witnessed the brotherly rivalry between Harry and William in the early days. "Harry was a character that was envied by William because of his personality."

Kiers Simmons speaks about damage being done to Camilla's rehabilitated public image and the pettiness of William and the family who refused to fly with Harry while QE was dying.

Kier also mentions the latest YouGov poll that shows a significant declining favorability of the royal family. According to the poll the Net Positive opinion of the royal family has gone down from +44% to +19% since September. That's almost a 60% decrease in popularity.

The Rhodes Legacy, Chapter Ten

As the bar filled up with more patrons, the dance floor started getting very crowded, and the guys decided to go to Manzanita Plaza in the Anchorpoint Wharf area of San Sequoia.

Cliff and Jaylen visited the arcade first and had quite a bit of fun playing video games together.

The guys took some pictures together in the arcade's picture booth. Cliff managed to sneak in a quick kiss on Jaylen's cheek during one of the shots and judging by the smile on his face, he's pretty sure that Jaylen enjoyed it.

In fact, Jaylen was still smiling from ear to earwhen they left the photobooth.

After leaving the arcade, the guys decided to play a few rounds of bowling at San Sequoia's newest bowling alley.

Cliff's a pretty good bowler and decided to show off his moves in hopes of impressing Jaylen.

Yes... a strike!

Jaylen had never bowled before, he tried his best, but decided bowling might not be his thing.

But with the guidance (and steady hands) of Cliff, he finally started getting the hang of it, and was able to even knockdown a few pins. Woohoo!!

Cliff couldn't be happier on how things were going between him and Jaylen. The connection was undeniable.

He finally worked up the nerve to just go for it and went in for a full on kiss. To his relief, Jaylen went in for a kiss at the same time. It was instant fireworks!

Since the bowling alley was getting ready to close, the guys walked across the plaza to the small, vintage movie theater.

Cliff let Jaylen pick the movie. He picked the latest superhero movie because all of his coworkers kept talking about how great it was. Since Cliff had already watched it with Ken and Kyle prevousily, he couldn't help but whisper sweet nothings into Jaylen's ear.

No too far into the movie, Jaylen realized that he didn't really care too much for superhero movies and would much rather focus on Cliff's beautiful eyes anyway...

And lips... Did he mention just how much he enjoyed kissing Cliff.

After the movie, the guys kept exploring all that Manzanita Plaza had to offer and stopped off at the cute, coffee shop.

The guys were overwhelmed with all of the drink options and decided to keep it safe by ordering a couple of cappuccinos.

They enjoyed their drinks outside on the cafe's patio area with a few cute moments of flirting mixed in.

Sadly, it was time to end the date... So, Cliff walked Jaylen back to his home in the Gilbert Gardens neighborhood. Unfortunately, Jaylen's' sister and her husband, Salvatore, were awake. So, they called it a night with a very "hot and heavy" kiss.

That night Cliff had the best dream he's ever had in sim life. It was of his future life with Jaylen and their adorable kids. The only downside was when the alarm went off and woke him up the morning.

John Mackenzie the filmmaker and director was born on May 22nd 1928 in Edinburgh.

McKenzie attended Holy Cross Academy then studied history at the University of Edinburgh. He went on to study drama and joined Edinburgh's Gateway Theatre Company.. He worked as a teacher and moved to London in 1960 where he worked for the BBC, his talents were spotted by the distinguished director Ken Loach, who made him his assistant, working on such socially significant teleplays as Up the Junction and the famously controversial Cathy Come Home. The experience of working with Loach proved invaluable and Mackenzie gained a wide experience of movie making and, not least, working within a tight budget.

Mackenzie did get some solo directing jobs on such programmes as ITV's Saturday Night Theatre but his first television drama was There is Also Tomorrow in 1969 and two feature length films including Made, which was shown at the Edinburgh Film Festival last year.

In the late 1960s Mackenzie started working with the Glasgow-born screenwriter Peter McDougall. Their first major success, Just Another Saturday, detailed the harsh working conditions of the Glasgow shipyards. The two collaborated on three other commanding films - all with Scottish backgrounds. The Elephant's Graveyard and Just a Boy's Game explored life and social conditions in Scotland.

But in 1979 the two made their most accomplished and dramatic film for STV - A Sense of Freedom, which starred David Hayman, Hector Nicol and Fulton Mackay. Based on the violent life of Jimmy Boyle, the film magnificently captured the very essence of evil that Boyle represented - from the opening sequences in Glasgow back streets filmed in semi-focus with a searing jazz rhythm being played in the background. Mackenzie then cut to a smoky bar and Boyle enters in smart suit and menacingly says to the landlord: "I hear you have had a bit of bother recently. I might be able to get rid of them for you."

The film made uneasy viewing. The Scottish Prison Service would not allow Mackenzie to film in its prisons, so he had to use Dublin's Kilmainham Prison. But the film won much praise and the rigour and unflinching direction from Mackenzie was widely admired.

One critic wrote: "Like it or loathe it, A Sense of Freedom should be watched by any budding film makers. Certainly it is one of Scotland's finest film exports ever."

There then followed The Long Good Friday, which was set against the development of Canary Wharf in London and follows the fraught efforts of the Hoskins character to mastermind a dubious property deal with the Americans.

Mackenzie kept a tight grip on the direction and in scenes such as when Hoskins is turned down by the Americans he allows Hoskins to let rip with a powerfully invective speech only for him to get into his car and be confronted by a gunman (played by Pierce Brosnan in his debut film role).

Post production was beset by problems - not least Hoskins threatening to sue the American distributors if they dubbed his Cockney accent. The original television producers wanted the IRA content softened but Mackenzie and his colleagues resold the rights to George Harrison's Handmade Films so that it could be seen in cinemas. In one interview Mackenzie said of the storyline: "A mysterious syndicate is trying to muscle in on his action, and Harold wants to know who they are. He finds out soon enough, and bloody mayhem ensues."

It was that keen sense of drama, balanced by irreverent humour and directorial zest that has made The Long Good Friday a cinema classic.

Mackenzie returned to Scotland in 1998 to film Looking After Jo Jo for BBC Scotland. The drama starred Robert Carlyle. Again the story is sordid and uncompromising. It centres on a petty Edinburgh thief and drug dealer (Carlyle) who menaces the Sighthill housing estates. Mackenzie's sense of pace and his ability to draw a subtly threatening performance from Carlyle brought the film warm praise.

Other films that McKenzie directed include The Fourth Protocol with Michael Caine, Blue Heat, with the late great Bian Denehey and Ruby, with Danny Aiello

Mackenzie died following a stroke on 8th June 2011, some three weeks after his 83rd birthday

Princess Diana’s Ex-Bodyguard Calls Harry & Meghan’s NYC Car Chase A ‘Nuisance,’ Not ‘Near Catastrophic’

View gallery Image Credit: SplashNews “The paparazzi, at best, can be talked to, but at worst they’re a nuisance,” said Ken Wharfe, a former bodyguard for Princess Diana, when discussing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s recent “relentless pursuit” by “highly aggressive” photographers.

Diana would have told Harry book ‘isn’t a good idea’, says her former protection officer | UK News

Princess Diana’s former protection officer has said that he thinks Prince Harry has a “revenge issue” with the royal family and that she would have told him publishing the memoir ‘isn’t a good idea’. Ken Wharfe, who was Diana’s personal protection officer from 1988 to 1993, told Sky News he felt that the Duke of Sussex’s memoir, Spare, has all but ruined any chance of a reconciliation with the…

Decades after her death, her style has stood the test of time, with people recreating similar outfits almost daily. From the iconic "revenge dress" to her streetwear, she was always dressed to impress. 

While Kate Middleton repeats outfits for environmental reasons, Diana would be doing so to avoid paparazzi attention. Jenni Rivett previously revealed that Diana wore the same streetwear outfits to reduce the value of the pap shots.

In a previous episode of The Royal Box, Rivett remembered Diana talking to her about this strategy. She remembers one of her strategies was that she was going to wear the same Virgin sweatshirt every single session.

So if you ever wondered why there were so many shots of Diana in that sweatshirt, now you know why.

It’s no secret that the paparazzi were vicious with Diana, constantly surrounding her. It was a cruel daily struggle that deeply affected her mental health over time, and since then, Prince William and Prince Harry have spoken up about the paparazzi. 

Ken Wharfe was one of the closest confidants for many years. In Diana: A Closely Guarded Secret, the former bodyguard provides an intimate account of life. 

[onheirpodcast]

I saw that Ken Wharfe’s got a book coming out about Diana, and I always wonder how William and Harry must feel when people who I assume they used to trust do these kinds of things. Ken is well within his right to publish a book no matter how they (or I lol) feel about it, but talking about Diana also means talking about them in a way they might not have consented too, and especially now when it’s a milestone anniversary and so many wants to take the chance to make money off her (and them)

This goes for Harry’s memoirs too, like he is well within his right to write it but it will probably have consequences from his family or his friends, old girlfriends etc that may not be nice for him

Hi anon! It’s an interesting dilemma, absolutely. I often think about writing my memoirs (maybe if the podcast becomes wildly successful haha) and I do always hit a stumbling block when it comes to being honest about certain relationships. Mostly with people I am close to or feel affection for but things haven’t always been easy. You wouldn’t want to lie - that would go against the purpose of the book - but a memoir is inherently about your recollection of events, it’s not a balanced biography, so it feels unfair that I could take the power I must have if I’ve got a book deal and use it to talk negatively about someone else who has no real way to respond. Even with people I don’t like and situations where I feel deeply I was right and nothing can change my mind, there’s an imbalance of power there which makes the whole thing feels a bit grubby. I don’t talk to many of my relatives for very good reason but I also don’t want to be the kind of person who knowingly hurts someone else in such a public way. I think that’s one of the reasons I don’t read memoirs or autobiographies. And I rarely even read biographies of people who are living or died in the last 50 years!

I believe lots of people have interesting stories to tell and we’ve all got to make money! But that kind of thing just doesn’t appeal to me, reading something so inherently one sided. - Jessica
