Isn’t he married to several of the former playmates?

There's a Playboy Club in Mayfair, London resplendent with a chorus of bunnies. It was reopened a couple of years ago. I think they're making a come back. He did have tremendous vision did Mr Hefner.

Fats Domino RIP. 89 years old.

Also Benson from the 'soap' TV series. Same age as Fats - 89. I loved that programme.

Sat in a pub in Cricklewood, listening to older Irish people talk about funerals. Tempus fugit. No longer an Irish area.

And they wouldn't leave The Crown'

Off to The Crown shortly. No longer an Irish boozer - now a hotel with a concert hall and the original pub.
