  1. APRIL 20, Hitler's birthday passed without fanfare, even by the Irish whose PM, de Valera, said how sorry he was when hearing of H's suicide
  2. MAN UTD V QPR, Sunday; if Man U win is the Premiership won? But remember 1992. Man U 1 - 4 QPR. Last man to score 3 at OT - Bailey. Who?
  3. Duchess of Cambridge is miffed about rumours that she is pregnant, or anorexic. We should be more fascinated by her fascinators apparently.
  4. The WINNIE/MARILYN affair ended on April 1 1958, when Monroe dyed her hair red. He wrote a farewell note: 'Adieu. Gentlemen prefer blondes.'
  5. Churchill and Monroe's affair was doomed by Winston's drinking and Monroe's pill popping. Comatose is not the best state for love making.
  6. Marilyn even cooked for her ‘Winnie-baby’. However, it was pretty basic stuff. She made cold porridge but WC moaned ‘Some like it hot’.
  7. Winnie found Monroe bossy about exercise; he called her health advice ‘The Monroe Doctrine’. But he succumbed to 'unconditional surrender'.
  8. Marilyn nagged Churchill to exercise more. She didn't like his 'soft underbelly'. She’d say ‘more toil and sweat, less blood and tears!’
  9. Marilyn Monroe met and fell for Churchill around 1957; at first she played hard to get. ‘We shall NEVER surrender’, she joked. But she did!
  10. Yes, it’s true, a Churchill grandaughter told me her grandpa fell for Marilyn. He loved her shape. He called her breasts ‘my Second Front’.
  11. Monroe was filming in England. She asked to meet Churchill. They met at Chartwell and she fell for him. She called it her 'finest hour'...
  12. Revealed! History’s oddest pairing: CHURCHILL and MONROE! Yes, a Churchill grandchild told me about Marilyn and Winston. I shall tweet on…
  13. 'One must have a heart of stone to read the death of Little Nell without laughing' [Wilde]. Or Dalglish's sad excuses for failure [the ref].
  14. No knowing what will sell. Calendar of crappy caravans and outside toilets bestseller. Nude Women's Institute ladies ditto. Yet ALI a bummer
  15. ALI pack breaks record for slow sales. Pix of black men whacking each other bit iffy these days p'raps. ALI's death might double sales to 2.
  16. Tory who resigned is called CRUDDAS. Unfortunate name. He's replaced by a man called FINK! I knew a Mr SMELLIE who changed his name to POTS
  17. TELEGRAPH has pathetic article about 6 KATE lookalikes. But they look as much like Kate as my bottom looks like Pippa's [it is more Monroe].
  18. Prince Harry's girlfriend is spelt CHELSY. When I met her she said it was pronounced CHE-WELL-SEE. Tricky. My wife calls me an ARS-HOLE-EE.
  19. We publish a ZODIAC pack. Our lawyers wish to add a caveat that the position of Mars might not determine whether you should go out at night.
  20. Sunday Express says Harry and Chelsy are back together. Amazing news. Or not. As I have not hacked their phones recently I cannot confirm.
