“YELLOW SUBMARINE” “Yellow Submarine” is a 1966 song by The Beatles, written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon – McCartney), with lead vocals by Ringo Starr. It was included on the Revolver album and issued as a single, coupled with “Eleanor Rigby”. The single went to number 1 on every major British chart, remained at number 1 for four weeks and charted for 13 weeks. McCartney was living in Jane Asher’s parents’ house when he found the inspiration for the song: “I was laying in bed in the Ashers’ garret... I was thinking of it as a song for Ringo, which it eventually turned out to be, so I wrote it as not too rangey in the vocal, then started making a story, sort of an ancient mariner, telling the young kids where he’d lived. It was pretty much my song as I recall... I think John helped out. The lyrics got more and more obscure as it goes on, but the chorus, melody and verses are mine.” The song began as being about different coloured submarines, but evolved to include only a yellow one. In 1980, Lennon talked about the song: "Yellow Submarine" is Paul’s baby. Donovan helped with the lyrics. I helped with the lyrics too. We virtually made the track come alive in the studio, but based on Paul’s inspiration. Paul’s idea. Paul’s title... written for Ringo.” Donovan added the words, “Sky of blue and sea of green”. McCartney also said: “It’s a happy place, that’s all. You know, it was just... We were trying to write a children’s song. That was the basic idea. And there’s nothing more to be read into it than there is in the lyrics of any children’s song.”

Concrete Island 🏝️ When he found the first one , Simon didn't tell anybody. He hid it in the pocket of his dark grey overall suit and joined the other children who were playing in the sand-pit. That night, when his mother kissed him good night and went out , he examined his discovery. It was most interesting:soft, but not squashy, a beautiful new colour, and the scent was strange. He sniffed it again, it made him feel uneasy somewhere inside. It reminded him of something, but he couldn't remember what. The next day its colour was darker, almost black. Later it got nasty and squashy and Simon threw it away and went to look for another. He ran across the paved playing area and climbed down the vertical ladder to the lower level. This was forbidden territory for the children. He was standing on a triangular platform, two sides of which were walled - the short wall he'd just climbed down and a much higher windowless one. The third side ended with a huge drop to the twenty-four stream motorway below.

Curse of Tutankhamun exposed: the archaeologists lived into their seventies. The mummy's curse seemed to be coming true when Lord Carnarvon died suddenly in April 1923,two months after the tomb of Tutankhamun was opened. But new research has fond a flaw in the ancient Egyptian king's resting place would die horribly: most of those who should have been afflicted lived to a ripe old age. The tale of the curse became front-page news in the Twenties after Lord Carnarvon,who married into the banking Rothschild family and funded the Tutankhamun expedition,got a mosquito 🦟 bite which became infected, leading to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
