so who else is from Yorkshire?
Parkinson Jimmy Saville Harold Wilson Geoff Boycott quite a grisly chamber of horrors! |

The serial murderer’s visage was pictured on the t-shirt along with other famous Yorkshire figures on a couch next to a drystone wall with pigeons and a whippet.
However, rising pressure from outraged members of the public and the son of the Ripper’s fifth victim Wilma McCann had forced them to do an about turn and eliminate the t-shirt shirt from their online Iffyton High Street shop. http://custom-t-shirts-online.com/promotional... |

Nothing wrong with a Pete T-Shirt.
He's got a fan club you know. I should have a fan club too, being Britain's best serial killer by a country mile. |

Daily Horoscope for May 25
Aquarius
You're very feisty and energetic and there's a lot you want to achieve. You'll get rather impatient if anyone stands in your way. A close emotional relationship will either be sexy and exciting beyond belief, or bad-tempered and tetchy. If you're in a grumpy mood, try to work out why - and what would improve matters. One thing that's bound to help is physical exercise, because it will burn off any excess nervous energy.
