Today's Talkers: Paddington Bear, National Lottery Millionaires...and Jungle Luxuries!

Hello all, it's great to have your company for another dossier of Talkers! I've loved thinking about today's talkers...what would you do if you won the lottery and, in true 'I'm a Celebrity' spirit, what luxury item would you take with you into the jungle? 

1. Oh Paddington! The lovable little bear now has innuendo and bad language...

He looks so innocent!

You may need to sit down. It appears our favourite little bear, Paddington, isn't as sweet and innocent as the marmalade on his sandwiches. His upcoming movie has been given a PARENTAL GUIDANCE rating, rather than the 'U' Universal one expected, as a result of mild sex threat references, innuendo (it had initially been described as having 'mild sex references', but after outcry from producers, this was changed!) in addition to dangerous behaviour and 'mild' bad language. I am speechless! 


2. Happy Birthday, National Lottery! 
It's now twenty years since the National Lottery was launched, creating more than 3,700 millionaires in two decades! Over £50 BILLION has been given away in prizes, although I haven't exactly had the best of luck. That's not surprising though, as it's thought you have a one in 14 million chance of winning the jackpot by matching all six numbers. The fact that you have a 1 in 57 chance of matching three numbers per ticket is perhaps a better statistic to go with! So who are the winners behind the numbers? Well, husband and wife Colin and Christine Weir won an amazing £161.1 million EuroMillions jackpot...I Know! So what so spend all that money on? Dean Allen won £13.8 million in 2000 and said of his win: "I've flown a jet plane in the Florida Keys, gone ice racing in Finland and skydived in Devon. But the most rewarding part has been being able to help out my family and support charities close to my heart". Here's to the next two decades! 

What little luxury would you choose?

3. What one item would you take into the jungle?
How are you enjoying ITV's I'm a Celebrity Got Me Here? All this jungle action has got me thinking...if you went onto the 'survival' show, isolated in the middle of the jungle, what one little luxury would you take? A favourite book, some make up, a chocolate bar (big one, of course!) or a favourite duvet or cushion?! And, before you start, an iPhone with wifi is not an option!!


I'll leave you to ponder that one! Have a great Tuesday.
Ben
