Early life
Mills was born Lewis Ernest Watts Mills in Felixstowe, Suffolk, the son of Edith (Baker), a theatre box office manager, and Lewis Mills, a mathematics teacher.
He lived in a modest house in Gainsborough Road Felixstowe until 1929. His older sister was Annette Mills, remembered as presenter of BBC Television's Muffin the Mule (1946–55).
He was educated at Balham Grammar School in London, Sir John Leman High School in Beccles, Suffolk and Norwich High School for Boys, where it is said that his initials can still be seen carved into the brickwork on the side of the building in Upper St. Giles Street. Upon leaving school he worked as a clerk at a corn merchants in Ipswich before finding employment in London as a commercial traveller for the Sanitas Disinfectant Company.

John Mills (Kent cricketer)
John Mills (dates of birth and death unknown) was a noted English cricketer of the mid-18th century who played for Kent. He was referred to in the sources as the famous Kent bowler. He is known to have been a gamekeeper and he came from Horsmonden, where he played for the local cricket club.
John Mills is first mentioned as a member of the Kent team that played against All-England in the famous match at the Artillery Ground on 18 June 1744 which became the first entry in Scores & Biographies. His brother, whose first name is unknown, also played.
Mills was selected to take part in a major "threes" contest at the Artillery Ground on 17 September 1744 along with Robert Colchin, Val Romney, John Bryant, Richard Newland and Joseph Harris. The stake was two hundred guineas and the players involved were stated to be the best in England. Unfortunately, Mills could not play due to injury and this is the last mention of him.

With a newly established promotion, Jessica finds that she might once again have to prove herself in a department that takes no prisoners. Not to mention a new partner named Mike Delmarco, who might be Jessica's next closest thing to a confidant. However, a man has been found dead and the two officers are brought into the investigation. What they find is a surprise when the dead in question was a man Jessica slept with, he being part of a list of one night stands that Jessica has engaged in. Now under suspicion and a terrible drinking problem gnawing at her, Jessica will have to prove to her superiors and to her skeptical partner that she's not the one behind the murders and Mills is one of the few people standing behind her.

Plot: The familiar story of Lieutenant Bligh, whose cruelty leads to a mutiny on his ship.

Taglines: They were friends through hell. They became enemies in Paradise. After 200 years, the truth behind the legend.
Quotes:
Bligh: God damn you, man. Don't you bloody cross me.Bligh: Take no prisoners Mr. Christian!
Christian: I am in hell, sir! I am in hell!
Seaman John Adams: Any fool can steer a ship, sir. It's just knowing where to take it.
Bligh: [in his log] I hope never to see Fletcher Christian again. Unless it is to see him hanged.
Bligh: The Royal Navy is not a humorous institution, sir, and insubordination is no laughing matter.
Christian: William, about your decision to go around the Horn.::Bligh: "William"? Not "Sir", not "Captain"; "William"?::Christian: I don't think the men will have it.::Bligh: Oh, the men won't have it. Are they in charge of the Bounty?::Christian: They might be if you insist.::Bligh: Again, would you repeat that please. "The men might be in charge." What are you threatening me with?::Christian: It's not a threat, it's a warning.::Bligh: [sarcastically] Oh, there are rumblings, are there?::Christian: No, there is fear.::Bligh: Around the Horn is the easiest way, the better way, and that is how we will go. Anything more?::Christian: Don't put Adams under the lash.::Bligh: He was insubordinate, cowardly and insubordinate, he frightened the men, I did not put that fear there, he did. So he will be lashed and we will go around the Horn. Are you frightened to go around the Horn, Mr. Christian? Are you a coward too, sir?
Bligh: Well gentlemen, between ourselves and home lies 2300 sea miles, the Endeavor Straits and the Great Barrier Reef. Now the crew is deeply demoralized and I must accept, as every captain must, the inevitable and theoretical responsibility for that. The actual and immediate responsibility, however, I place on you, my fellow officers who met this crisis with lethargy, impudence and flagrant defiance, publicly uttered. And perhaps for that I am also to blame. I counted on a strength of character which you do not possess. However, the cure for our predicament is discipline and I shall apply it with an even hand of course, but most where it is most required.
Bligh: So, you think I'm harsh with you, hey? I've been at sea many years Fletcher, since I was 12, and in that time I've seen many men, many good men fall for island women in these waters. I've never once seen it come out well. Of course I understand the excitement and the... but think to yourself, man. Could you bring a woman like that home to your friends and your family? No, of course you couldn't. They're not like us, Fletcher. You think I was harsh with you, but you needed someone to show you where your duty really lay, because you were at a loss, my friend. You may not thank me now but you will eventually. So, let's get the ship running again and get back to where we were before.
Bligh: Three men jumped ship last night. Churchill was one of them. You don't seem surprised?::Christian: Well no, now that it's happened I'm not, I'm not surprised.::Bligh: Well, I must say I'm no longer surprised myself now that I see the example that's being set by my first officer. Just look at yourself, man, look at the way your dressed. Come on, you're no better than one of these natives.::Christian: Well, at least I am no worse.::Bligh: Mr. Christian, I think your brain has received too much sunlight and your body overindulged in sexual excess.::Christian: I have done no more than any natural man would do.::Bligh: No, you've done no more than any wild animal would do. It always makes me laugh that whenever men lose their self-restraint they always say they're "natural".::Christian: They are more natural than men who have nothing to restrain.::Bligh: Mr. Christian, you will report to the ship by sundown tonight.::Christian: No.::Bligh: What did you say? No? Is that what you said? Is that what you said? No? All right, you will report to the ship immediately and you will stay on the ship. There'll be no more fraternizing with the damned degenerate natives of these islands by any of my officers or any of my crew. You comprehend my meaning, sir?::[shouts]::Bligh: Good!

Famous quotes by John Mills:
"Melons that can stand the shipping just don't have the same flavor,"
"I'm basically running to eliminate my job."
"is neither a cure for AIDS nor a way of preventing infection with HIV."
"I've never considered myself to be working for a living; I've enjoyed myself for a living instead."
"I know that sounds cavalier, but we'll worry about that later."
"We have not been informed officially of anything."
"You can drop it or hit it with a hammer and it's not going to break."
"There's no reason to run against an incumbent who is doing a good job."
"We're all in a waiting game until all the incumbents finalize their decisions."
"There has been an immediate impact. For whatever reason, Robles is like a magnet for kids hanging out. Since the onset of this program, it's helped out. It's much quieter on the property during school hours. You don't see kids hanging out at all."

Do It Anyway
If I turn round and I look down
And I stare at all the people,
Would it change me,
Rearrange me,
Make me become aware?
'Cos I want to, I'm gonna love you
Right in front of all these people.
If I shock them,
Could you knock them,
Make them become aware?
But I'm gonna do it anyway,
It doesn't matter what the people say.
And in the end you all will see
The only one who's right is me.
In my own mind
She's the right kind,
Even though her colour scares you.
Try to see straight,
It's never too late,
Maybe see the light of day.
Should I hang round
With my own crowd
Or the people that I'm drawn to?
Could you guide me?
Or maybe hide me?
