News ItemAnother Premature Death (at Age 85)13th February 2009 Sir John Mortimer, gourmand, drinker, smoker, freedom-fighter, eminent barrister, and creator of the fictional barrister Horace Rumpole, has passed away at age 85.

If that list will not persuade you to quit smoking, nothing will. Link To Original Article »» Link To Stored Article »» |
