And, we gradually learn, this happens to the same man every day! But there is a mystery. The mystery is: why on earth does he do it?Piglet's Big MovieThe Derry Irvine story.Terminator 3Tony wants to go for a third term He can go for a third term He will go for a third term Only one man can stop him The terminator The terminator is indestructible What he says, goes When he says petrol will go up, petrol goes up But then, no one has ever stopped Tony Can the terminator stop Tony?

Was he framed or was he really up to no good? And why was he wearing what seems to be an iron box on his head? Was this a fashion statement? Or was it intended as a defence against some kind of weapon of mass destruction? Kelly's death seems to pose more questions than it can answer, so a cover-up is arranged.
No, I'm sorry - so an inquiry is arranged.Swimming PoolThe Michael Barrymore story.Etre et avoirA French film Literally, in French, the title means "to be and to have". Is it, then, a Sartrean disquisition, like L'Etre et le n?t? Is it a Hemingwayesque adventure, like To Have and Have Not? No, it is none of these things. It is an examination of the French attitude that it is possible to have your cake and eat it Starring Jacques Chirac More from Miles Kington. Back here yesterday at the scene of Falbrav's latest triumph, Luca Cumani upped the ante.
The reward for anyone who can persuade the five-year-old's joint-proprietors Luciano Salice, who bred him, and Teruya Yoshida, who bought into him 10 months ago, to keep their star in training next year has risen in 48 hours from one to four crates of champagne. "He is a late-maturing type and there is no reason to think he might not be better next year," said the Newmarket handler, "or certainly at least as good."And there would be no problem with his mind, either. He has run in eight Group 1 races this year, just about three weeks apart, and he hasn't turned a hair. And what also helps, given his preference for fast ground and the summer we have had, is that he seems to have been born under a lucky star."Falbrav is due to retire to Shadai Stud in Japan next spring, where he will tryst with the finest geishas at a fee yet to be decided. That he would give further untold pleasure to thousands of racegoers should he remain at Bedford House will not really concern the Milanese and the Japanese who own him. But given the level of prize money at the top in races worldwide - he has already won nearly £3m and there is a purse of $2m (£1.2m) up for grabs at next month's Breeders' Cup Turf - perhaps the two wealthy businessmen should reconsider the sums.
