Ken Russell: a bold and daring filmmaker and one of the greats of British cinema

By Mark Adams 28/11/2011 Oliver Reed and at London's Groucho Club in 1985

Ken Russell, one of the great mavericks of British cinema, has died aged 84.

A larger than life figure whose work often attracted controversy as much as acclaim, he should be remembered as one the country’s most pioneering and bold filmmakers.Perhaps forgotten – or at least underrated – by current generations, the flamboyant Russell is perhaps best known for his Oscar-winning 1969 film Women in Love, adapted from the DH Lawrence novel.The film, which also starred and Jennie Linden, was a challenging and intelligent film, and when Jackson won a Best Actress Oscar for her performance (Russell was nominated as Best Director) the director found himself propelled into the limelight and able to take his pick of edgy films.In 1971 he followed up with The Devils, ag ain starring Glenda Jackson and Oliver Reed.Inspired by Aldus Huxley’s book.In the 1970s Russell continued to make distinctive and varied films, with releases including his 1975 film version of ’s rock opera Tommy, starring , Elton John, Oliver Reed (who worked with him on a regular basis) and Jack Nicholson; the period musical The BoyFriend (1972), which starred model Twiggy, and the 1977 film Valentino, a biopic of silent film star Rudolph Valentino.In 1986 he made Gothic, starring Gabriel Byrne, about the drug-soaked night Mary Shelley told the tale of Frankenstein, and in the 1988 cast and in the wild and weird The Lair of the White Worm, based on a Bram Stoker novella, which has now become something of a cult oddity.

Ken Russell was a bold and daring filmmaker never afraid of a challenge...and he should be remembered as one of the greats of British cinema.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the English football club. For other uses, see Liverpool F.C. (disambiguation).

Liverpool Football Club is an English football club based in Liverpool, . Liverpool has won eighteen League titles, second most in English football, seven FA Cups and a record seven League Cups. Liverpool has won more European titles than any other English club, with five European Cups, three UEFA Cups and three Super Cups.

Liverpool was founded in 1892 and admitted into the Football League the following year. The club has played at its home ground, since. The most successful period in Liverpool's history was the 1970s and '80s, when and Bob Paisley led the club to eleven league titles and seven European trophies.

The club's supporters have been involved in two major tragedies. The first was the Heysel Stadium disaster in 1985, in which charging Liverpool fans caused a wall to collapse, killing 39 Juventus supporters. In the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, 96 Liverpool supporters lost their lives in a crush against perimeter fencing.

Liverpool has long-standing rivalries with neighbours Everton and with Manchester United. The team has played in an all-red home strip since 1964. The club's anthem is "You'll Never Walk Alone".

The Story of St Nicholas (the original Santa Claus)

The real St. Nicholas lived in Turkey, he was bishop of the Turkish town of Myra in the early 4th century. It was the Dutch who first made him into a Christmas gift-giver, and Dutch settlers brought him to America where his name eventually became the familiar Santa Claus. Long long ago, in the days when Saint Nicholas was alive, there lived a kindly nobleman. He had a beautiful wife and three pretty young daughters, and all the money his family would ever need. But one day, the mother of the family, who was a sweet gentle woman, became very ill. The nobl eman was frantic! He summoned the town's only doctor, a very old, very wise woman, who knew all there was to know about herbs and magic. The old woman tried all the cures she knew, but she could do nothing to save the poor woman. Finally he called for the priest to come, but by that time his poor wife had passed away. The nobleman was in despair! He missed his wife so much that he lost his head. He wasted all his money away on silly projects and useless inventions. He became so poor that he had to move his family out of their castle and into a little peasant's cottage. Meanwhile his daughters were growing up. Poverty was difficult for them, but they remained cheerful and strong. They soon learned to do their own cooking, cleaning and sewing, and they took care of each other.All three girls were very pretty. In time each of them fell in love and wanted to get married. But they couldn't because their father was so poor. He had no dowry (a sum of money or some valuable property) to give to the prospective husband's family. He felt he had failed his own children, and he became even more sad and gloomy.Now, Saint Nicholas happened to live in the same area. The kindly saint had dedicated his whole life to doing good deeds, and was always on the lookout for someone i n need. One night the saint came riding through the town on his white horse looking for the house of the nobleman and his three daughters. He rode up to the cottage and peeked in through a chink in the wall. That same night, the daughters had washed out their clothes by hand, and hung them up in front of the fireplace to dry. There were the stockings, three pairs, hanging right on the chimney. Inspiration struck Saint Nicholas. From his pouch he took out three little bags filled with gold coins. One by one he threw the bags down the chimney, so they landed in the stockings of the three daughters. The nobleman, worried about his daughters' futures, had terrible trouble falling asleep a night and was still awake. He heard the clip clop of the white horse as the saint was leaving, and peeked out of the door. He called out to Nicholas, but he had already disappeared into the dark night. When the daughters woke in the morning, they found their stockings filled with plenty of money for their dowries. When they went to tell their father, they found him sleeping peacefully with a smile on his face. Saint Nicholas had taken care of all his worries. And so, through the goodness of Saint Nicholas the three daughters were able to marry the men they loved, and the nobleman lived on to be a happy grandfather.

The tradition of hanging up the stocking is still followed in the British Isles. It is left out on Christmas Eve, along with mince pies, sherry and carrots for Santa and his reindeer, and even today most children are in bed way before midnight waiting for Santa to visit

The stocking is opened by excited children on Christmas morning. Nowadays the gifts Santa Claus brings can be quite elaborate, in Victorian times it was traditionally fruit, nuts, sweets and coins.
