Heston drew me Einstein-esque diagrams...

The relationship between Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud was one of the most important in 20th-century art.
Sex, Drugs And Sausage Rolls. As cookbook titles go, it sure beats Lean In 15. But rather than mere natty pun, it accurately describes the career of author Graham Garrett, a man who swapped the bish-bash of drumsticks for the clitter-clatter of pots and pans. He played with the likes of Dumb Blondes and Ya Ya before throwing off the sweaty singlet and climbing into pristine whites.

For the 20-odd apps most of us use on our phones, the processor is perfectly decent, and the 5.5in HD screen is bright and sharp. It won't do the tiny lettering you get on posher handsets, but is being able to read things in four-point type really worth 400 quid? ...read
This car is merely one of an already well-established, ever-expanding, ever-improving supercar flock, no longer worthy of a judges' special commendation for being something really special.

But he went on to prove his teachers and zoologist father wrong, photographing the Queen, Michael Jackson, model Kate Moss (left) and every American President since the Sixties. He photographed Donald Trump in Atlantic City in 1990 and wanted him to be holding money (top right). ...read
