  • Mrs MILF

    Mrs MILF

    Mrs Milf FIOur agony aunt doesn’t mince her words and makes The Sun’s “Dear Deidre” seem tame. She whips those who write to her into submissiveness and believes that whilst Essex girls are “like mopeds: you may not like to be seen with them but they are much more fun to ride” Chelsea girls are “like cream: thick, rich and taken by themselves bland and sickening”. If she doesn’t follow you on Twitter, she just isn’t interested.

  • Receiving Broadwell

    Receiving Broadwell

    One of the UK’s most stunning repossessions, sold for £9.3 million in 2012, comes to the market for just £6.95 million

     

    Law of Property Act Receivers act for banks and private lenders when the terms of mortgages are not met. Broadwell Manor in Gloucestershire is not the kind of house one would normally associate with such individuals but, as we reported in June, neither would one expect such a fine property to end up in the ownership of a man who would subsequently be accused of stealing £12.5 million from the very company he was chief executive director of.

    Ask Mrs MILF: The agony aunt who’s naughty but nice

    Mrs MILF redThis week, Mrs MILF deals with a party invite with a clause, a husband who wants his wife to buy “gear”, an Old Etonian with a complex, a wealthy couple who have sex but no relationship and a wife who’s worried about Katie Hopkins. (more…)

    Who’s shooting?

    Rolls-Royce shooting brake commissioned by John Entwistle of The Who goes to auction

     

    In the manner typical of a rock star, The Who’s John Entwistle never learnt to drive. Instead, the legendary bass player bought cars because he liked to “drink in them”. One – specially adapted to suit an Irish Wolfhound named Fits Perfectly and several Rottweilers – is due at auction on 7th September. (more…)

  • Where there's brass, there's muck

    Company director Adrian Burford accused of stealing £12.5 million from his own company

     

    Adrian Burford was a man who liked the good life. He lived in a £9.3 million mansion in the Cotswolds, spent £1.1 million buying shares in the Sushinho restaurant on London’s Kings Road and £26,000 on wines. It now transpires that all of this was paid for with someone else’s money.

    Fooling Fogle

    Ben Fogle suggests that he could have been poisoned by a Russian spy

     

    Ben Fogle’s rise to the middle realms of “fame” is something I’ve always found puzzling. Don’t get me wrong, he’s an affable chap and I have utterly no problem with him but whenever he comes on the screen, I find myself simply asking: “Why on earth is this man famous?”

     

    Mr Fogle featured in The Telegraph’s ‘Mandrake’ column, written by great friends of The Steeple Times Tim Walker and Richard Eden, this morning and frankly made the most preposterous of suggestions I’ve heard in years. Even though he had to admit it sounded “far-fetched”, he went ahead and alleged that he could have been poisoned by a Russian spy. Has the man gone bonkers?

    Michael Scudamore: “What’s on your mantelpiece?”

    The Steeple Times asks Welsh National winning racehorse trainer Michael Scudamore: “What’s on your mantelpiece?”

     

    The Steeple Times shares “wit and wisdom”. What’s your guiding force?

    Grandad Scu, a tough man when he was riding and an absolute gentleman. He is the person that dad, Tom and I look up to the most.

     

    “Don’t get even, get medieval” is, in our humble opinion, a great motto. What’s yours?

    “Keep a leg either side and his head off the floor” – Michael Scudamore Snr.
