So I saw this post about how in the books, Dracula is actually an old man and I always imagined Dracula looked like older Christopher Lee, who played him while he was a kid. While looking him up I accidentally discovered that Christopher Lee was the coolest person in the universe and there is a non-zero chance he was actually Dracula in real life
Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee CBE CStJ (May 27th 1922 - June 7th 2015), Sir because he was knighted in 2009 for his charity and his contributions to cinema
So first of all, I saw that he actually knew 8 LANGUAGES (English, Spanish, French, Swedish, Italian, German, Russian and Greek) and was also a staggering 6 feet 5 inches in height. Born in Belgravia in London, one of the most Dracula sounding places I’ve ever heard of, here’s some insane facts about him
•His father, Lieutenant Colonel Geoffrey Trollope Lee of the 60th King's Royal Rifle Corps, fought in the Boer War and World War 1
•His mother, Countess Estelle Marie (née Carandini di Sarzano) was an Edwardian beauty who was painted by Sir John Lavery, Oswald Birley, and Olive Snell, and sculpted by Clare Sheridan
•Lee's maternal great-grandfather, Jerome Carandini, the Marquis of Sarzano, was an Italian political refugee
•Jerome’s wife was English-born opera singer Marie Carandini (née Burgess), meaning that Lee is also related to famous opera singer Rosina Palmer
•His parents would divorce when he was four and his mother would marry Harcourt George St-Croix Rose, banker and uncle of Ian Fleming, making the author of the James Bond books Lee’s step cousin. Fleming would then offer him two roles as the antagonist in the film adaptations of his books, though he was only able to land the antagonist role in The Man With the Golden Gun. It’s believed his role in the film is significantly better and more complex than his book counterpart, played as “a dark side of Bond”
•His family would move and they lived next door to famous silent film actor Eric Maturin
•One night, before he was even 9 years old, he was introduced to Prince Yusupov and Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich, THE ASSASSINS OF GRIGORI RASPUTIN, WHOM LEE WOULD GO ON TO PLAY MANY YEARS LATER
•Lee applied for a scholarship to Eton, where his interview was in the presence of the ghost story author M.R. James, who is considered one of the best English language ghost story writers in history and who widely influenced modern horror
•He only missed by King’s Scholar by one place by being bad at math, one of the only flaws God gave him
•Due to lack of working opportunities, Lee was sent to the French Riviera and stayed with his sister and her friends while she was on holiday, and on the way there he stopped briefly in Paris with journalist Webb Miller, a friend of his step father. Webb Miller was an American journalist and war correspondent and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the execution of the French serial killer Henri Désiré Landru, also known as BLUEBEARD. He also helped turn world opinion against British colonial rule of India
•While staying with Miller he witnessed Eugen Weidmann’s execution by guillotine, the last public execution ever performed in France
•Arriving in Menton, Lee stayed with the Russian Mazirov family, living among exiled princely families
•When World War 2 began, Lee volunteered to fight for the Finnish Army against the Soviet Union in the Winter War, and a year later, Lee would join the Home Guard. After his father died, he would join the Royal Air Force and was an intelligence officer and leading aircraft man and would later retire as a flight lieutenant in 1946
•While spending some time on leave in Naples, Lee climbed Mount Vesuvius, which erupted only three days later
•After nearly dying in an assault on Monte Cassino, Lee was able to visit Rome where he met his mother’s cousin Nicolò Carandini, who had fought in the Italian Resistance Movement. Nicolò would later go on to be the Italian Ambassador to Britain. Nicolò was actually the one to convince Lee to become an actor in the first place
•Oh yeah Christopher Lee was seconded to the Central Registry of War Criminals and Security Suspects where he was tasked with HELPING TRACK DOWN NAZI WAR CRIMINALS
•Lee’s stepfather served as a captain in the Intelligence Corps
•He was actually told he was too tall to be an actor, though that would honestly help him considering one of his first roles was as The Creature in The Curse of Frankenstein
•He was cast in Captain Horatio Hornblower R.N (1951) as a Spanish captain due to not only his fluency in Spanish but also he knew how to fence!
•Lee’s portrayal of Dracula had a crucial aspect of it which Bela Lugosi’s didn’t have: sexuality, a prime aspect of the original novels.
•While being trapped into playing Dracula under Hammer Film Productions, Lee actually hated the script so much that he would try his best to sneak actual lines from the original novel into the script
•Ironically, he was rejected from playing in The Longest Day because “he didn’t look like a military man”
•Christopher Lee was friends with author Dennis Wheatley, who “was responsible for bringing the occult into him”. He would go on to play in two film adaptations of his novels
•His biggest regret in his career is not taking the role of Sam Loomis from Halloween when offered to him
•Christopher Lee was the only person involved with the Lord of the Rings movies to have actually met J.R.R Tolkien
•When playing Count Dooku, he actually did most of the swordsmanship himself
•Christopher Lee was the second oldest living performer to enter the Billboard Top 100 charts with the song “Jingle Hell” at 91 years old. After media attention, he would get No. 18, and Lee became the oldest person to ever hit the Billboard Top 20 chart
I really am leaving some stuff out here and I may go on

New leisure centre a step closer to completion
West Drayton and Yiewsley residents are one step closer to enjoying a state-of-the-art leisure centre as the final steel beam to complete the new Platinum Jubilee Leisure Centre was installed on site this week. To mark this significant milestone in the construction process, the Leader of Hillingdon Council, Cllr Ian Edwards, alongside Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Property, Highways and Transport, Cllr Jonathan Bianco, and Cabinet Member for Residents' Services, Cllr Eddie Lavery, gathered for a traditional ‘topping out’ ceremony. This ceremony is a rite of passage for builders that marks the installation of the final beam in a new structure. However, for residents, it means their long-awaited and eagerly anticipated leisure facility is one step closer to completion. The new Platinum Jubilee Leisure Centre will be a vital amenity for the Yiewsley and West Drayton communities, and the council's commitment to ensuring thriving and healthy households. The project is being undertaken by developers Buckingham Group Contracting Ltd, who began construction work on the site in spring 2022. Once completed, the centre will offer a wide range of first-class leisure facilities, including a 25-metre swimming pool, training pool, splash-zone, gym and health suite, soft play, youth and community hub, a café and terrace, and even a rooftop 3G turf football pitch. Residents were consulted on the plans for the new centre back in September 2019, and their feedback was taken into account wherever possible in the design process. The new Platinum Jubilee Leisure Centre is expected to be fully completed in the summer of 2024, providing the community with a modern, vibrant, and much-needed facility for many years to come. #yiewsley #westdrayton #communities #community #new #leisure #leisurecentre #stateoftheart #toppingout #toppingoutceremony #platinumjubileeleisurecentre #healthy #swimming #swimmingpool #trainingpool #splashzone #gym #healthsuite #softplay #youthhub #communityhub #café #cafe #terrace #rooftop #3g #football #footballpitch #summer2024 #2024

Soi kèo nhà cái trước trận Hy Lạp vs Bắc Ireland
Do đã chắc chắn đứng đầu bảng B và giành quyền lên chơi tại League B mùa sau, Hy Lạp đã thi đấu không tốt trong chuyến làm khách trước Đảo Síp. Kết quả là họ nhận thất bại đầu tiên tại Nations League mùa này và trận đấu cuối cùng với Bắc Ireland chỉ mang tính chất thủ tục đối với đội chủ nhà. Vì thế các chuyên gia soi kèo nhà cái nhận định họ không dễ giành được chiến thắng dù được đánh giá cao hơn.
Bắc Ireland vừa giành chiến thắng rất quan trọng trước Kosovo, qua đó cân bằng điểm số với Đảo Síp và tạm đứng ở vị trí thứ ba khi hơn đối thủ này về chỉ số phụ. Cuộc đua chạy trốn một suất xuống hạng của bảng B đang rất căng thẳng khi cả ba đội đều có nguy cơ rơi xuống vị trí cuối cùng nếu để thua ở lượt trận thứ 6. Bắc Ireland sẽ rất hài lòng nếu có thể kiếm được 1 điểm trong chuyến làm khách tại Hy Lạp.
Trận lượt đi đã kết thúc với thất bại 0-1 của Bắc Ireland dù họ được thi đấu trên sân nhà. May là thầy trò HLV Ian Baraclough đã chơi tốt ở hai vòng đấu gần đây và vẫn nắm quyền tự quyết trong tay, Kosovo và Đảo Síp sẽ phải quyết đấu với nhau nên Bắc Ireland sẽ có nhiều cơ hội trụ hạng thành công nếu kiếm được 1 điểm. Các chuyên gia soi kèo nhà cái dự đoán đội khách đủ sức hoàn thành được mục tiêu này.
Dự đoán: Hy Lạp 0-0 Bắc Ireland
Mẹo cá cược Hy Lạp vs Bắc Ireland
Hy Lạp đã chắc chắn giành quyền thăng hạng nên HLV Gustavo Poyet sẽ tận dụng trận đấu tới để thử nghiệm đội hình. Điều này khiến cơ hội giành điểm của Bắc Ireland sẽ gia tăng đáng kể, nhiệm vụ của họ là khóa chặt đường vào khung thành của thủ môn Carson. Các chuyên gia soi kèo nhà cái đánh giá đội khách vẫn là lựa chọn an toàn hơn trong trận đấu sắp tới.
Nhà cái Lucky88 đưa mức kèo tài xỉu không quá cao, rõ ràng đội khách chỉ cần một kết quả hòa và họ sẽ làm mọi cách để bảo vệ chặt chẽ phần sân nhà. Hy Lạp với đội hình có nhiều sự thay đổi sẽ không dễ tạo ra nhiều đột biến trong các pha lên bóng tấn công của mình. Các chuyên gia soi kèo nhà cái cho rằng thế trận sẽ nhạt nhẽo và cửa xỉu là lựa chọn đáng để cân nhắc.

FELLOW KIDS: S/T
S/T – Fellow Kids
Release Date: August 2nd, 2019
Track Listing:
1. All or Nothing
2. My Queen
3. City Girl
4. Heavy Eyes
5. Cradle
This record harbours a good classic rock vibe with a bit of punk and a bit of pop. The vocals are rasped in what is yet a smooth voice, over shredding hard guitar and fast percussion. There's a lo-fi element that gives focus to the simple, yet diverse music. It's like Fellow Kids is playing a show directly in your garage.
The vocals are rasped in a very rapid, fierce style. It's very punk and reminiscent of the early 2000s era: the whole style is a sort of throwback. It's a rhythm and progression-based EP. It sounds a lot like Billy Talent, yet also like something more power or prog-based. After several listens, I'm still not sure how to categorize the sound. That's not at all a bad thing – it's just very unique.
It's very fun and very fast. The sound is timeless. It's got an element of ‘math rock’ – complex time signatures. In the 15 minutes or so the EP lasts, we're taken on a varied journey musically. It's a unique debut and shows the band's talent. A lot of punk groups stick to one type of sound, at least per release. I really love the way this is done in contrast.
The guitar work is something I got lost in. It really stands out – almost to the point of showing off, though not in a bad way. In fact, I'd probably praise the guitar elements as the best instrumental parts of the EP—it's definitely the most prominent. Even so, there's an excellent performance by every band member. All the instruments can be heard clearly in sync and rhythm.
This is Fellow Kids' first EP and it's a great debut effort, showcasing a distinct yet diverse sound, and the ranges they are able to reach. I look forward to new music from them in the future!
