As a boy, Bentley learned several musical instruments, and while still in his teens was a staple on the Melbourne cabaret circuit as a comedian and singer, his act consisting of playing a few bars of music deliberately badly, interspersed with jokes and legitimate musical numbers. He made his first appearance on ABC Radio in the early 1930s and by 1938 had become a fairly prominent personality, notably on Wilfrid Thomas's show "Out of the Bag". In that year he moved to London and worked for the BBC. Newly married to Peta, he returned to Australia on the outbreak of war, and spent several years entertaining the troops in the Pacific theatre.
By 1946, he was one of Australia's highest-paid entertainers, and returned to Britain to try to re-establish himself in a much larger market. He joined up with writer Denis Norden and guested on many of the leading radio shows of the day. An appearance on Navy Mixture teamed him successfully with Jimmy Edwards, and indirectly led to the pairing of Denis Norden with Frank Muir, who was Edwards' writer. Muir and Norden together wrote Take It From Here (1948–60), with Edwards and Bentley as two of the three stars. The most memorable feature of Take It From Here was The Glums, with Edwards playing the slightly seedy Pa Glum and Bentley his terminally dim son, Ron. Bentley was thirteen years older than Edwards.
"Would You...?" is a song by British electronic/jazz band Touch and Go. It was released on 26 October 1998 as a single.
The song reached the number 3 spot on the UK Singles Chart. It became a hit in Europe, particularly in Eastern Europe where the ensemble toured extensively. "Would You...?" has been included on television show soundtracks such as G String Divas and the cult British series As If. The track has also been sampled for San Pellegrino, Carlsberg, and Nokia advertisements.
Content
The track is marked by its distinctive sampling of a woman's voice saying "I've noticed you around / I find you very attractive / Would you go to bed with me?". The lyrics – with almost identical wording – were originally used as part of a psychological study conducted in 1978.
It was released in August 1991, on Atlantic Records in the US and on Virgin Records in the UK. The album was a commercial success in Europe for Lennon, spawning a UK no.6 hit in "Saltwater" (as well as topping the charts in Australia for four weeks); however, it did not do as well in the US, where Atlantic Records were said to have under-promoted the album.
The album features uncredited guitar contributions from George Harrison.
Primecoin (sign: Ψ; code: XPM) is a cryptocurrency that implements a proof-of-work system that searches for chains of prime numbers.
Launched on 7 July 2013 by anonymous hacker and Peercoin founder Sunny King, Primecoin was the first cryptocurrency to have a proof-of-work system with a practical use. Earlier cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, were mined using algorithms that solved arbitrary mathematical problems, the results of which had no value or use outside of mining the cryptocurrency itself. Primecoin's algorithm, however, computed chains of prime numbers (Cunningham and bi-twin chains), the results of which were published on its blockchain's public ledger, available for use by scientists, mathematicians, and anyone else.

Now We Are Six - Dick Bentley (HMV, 1961)
HMV Junior Record Club, 1961. This one plays at 45, but it makes up for that by being blue. Here Dick Bentley is very much in John Le Mesurier mode. Or perhaps Rex Harrison. He doesn't sound very Australian anyway, and nothing like ooh-Ron. I think he fluffs a couple of lines too, but it's still pretty classy stuff. I'm not sure what "full cast" means though - it's just Dick Bentley. If you were looking for proof that I'm not Ken Morse, you've found it.

Butterfly Boy's Skin Falls Off With The Slightest Touch
Butterfly Boy's Skin Falls Off With The Slightest Touch
Subscribe: http://bit.ly/Oc61Hj
MOST teenage boys love to run around and play – but ‘Butterfly Boy’ Jonathan’s skin is so delicate it falls away at the slightest knock. Fourteen year-old Jonathan Pitre, from Russell, Canada, lives in constant pain as 90% of his skin blisters and peels from his body - making it look as if he has third degree burns. The excruciating pain is so bad he has constant headaches and nausea, and often spends nights awake in agony. Helpless mum Tina Boileau, 35, has to watch her son writhe in pain as she wraps him from head to toe in bandages to ensure he doesn’t get infections.
More inspirational stories like Jonathan's feature in the new series of Body Bizarre, Thursdays at 9pm on TLC.

If I told you a secret, something I wouldn't normally do Something people might frown upon Would you If I kissed you discretely Would it mean you'd laugh in my face Would you tell me I'm going crazy Would you Sideway glances to no avail Opportunities that are destined to fail The love that I've tried to hide Won't accept it's secret hiding place Won't accept it's dying without a trace Without ever having shown itself to you Would you It's impossible to drive you away from my dreams Even if I had a chance I wouldn't Would you This longing buried inside So much more than a mere and mortal sin What's the use in never knowing what could've been If I came around then, would you let me in
