John Lennon's School Book To Be Sold At Auction.

John Lennon's old school book is to be sold at auction - and is expected to fetch more than ’90,000. The exercise book contains drawings by the legendary Beatle as a 12-year-old attending a high school in Liverpool.

Teacher Lancelot Burrows was so taken with the pencil and watercolour pictures he kept them to show future pupils at Quarry Bank High. Some of the pictures the future star drew in 1952 illustrate verses from classic poems.

The cover is marked 'My Anthology' and each drawing is marked out of ten in red - the lowest being eight. It will be sold at a manuscripts auction at Sotheby's next month. Tessa Milne of Sotheby's is quoted on the icLiverpool website as saying: "Mr Burrows was a key influence on the young John Lennon and encouraged him to pursue his artistic and literary interests. These drawings are remarkably accomplished for one so young, and the book is a wonderful example of Lennon's emerging artistic talent.

"They are proof the skills of the rebellious schoolboy were not lost on Mr Burrows, who encouraged his interest in poetry and art and then kept this exemplary exercise book from 1952 for the benefit of future generations of pupils at Quarry Bank."

Bond Fans Given Licence To Buy Memorabilia.

Fans of the James Bond movies were issued a licence to buy today as more than a quarter of a million pounds worth of 007 memorabilia went on show in London.

The rare items - all due to go under the hammer at auction house Bonhams on Wednesday - include the jacket worn by Donald Pleasance when he played Bond baddie Blofeld when the evil genius met the superspy, played by Sean Connery, face-to-face for the first time in You Only Live Twice.

The iconic jacket is estimated to fetch more than ’15,000 at the sale.

Bond buffs who prefer the seventies style of the Roger Moore era are invited to bid for a 'khaki' Savile Row suit worn by the secret agent during the 'Rio scenes' in the 1979 blockbuster Moonraker. It is expected to fetch more than ’12,000.

Moore's navy battle dress jacket which he wore at the end of The Spy Who Loved Me is hoped to raise a similar amount.

Fans of the 007's most recent incarnation, Pierce Brosnan could take home his ski suit worn in The World Is Not Enough or the spy's black combat jacket from Goldeneye. Both are expected to attract bids from keen collectors of more than ’10,000.

And there is even Bond's trademark firearm - the Walther PPK automatic pistol - which has protected the suave spy in all 17 of his cinema adventures.

The replica PPK which features in this week's auction was handled by Timothy Dalton as Bond in The living Daylights when 007 ambushes General Pushkin in his Tangiers hotel room.

The sale also features original autographs from each of the actors to play Bond including a rare signature by Australian actor George Lazenby who had his license to kill revoked after only one outing.

Bond buyers can also snap up original film posters, books and replica miniature cars.

Stephen Maycock, consultant specialist for Bonhams, said the collection was the result of more than a year's work.

He said: "We decided over a year ago to hold this auction and since then have been working with private collectors and dealers to put this together. we now have more than 200 lots provided by more than 100 different sources.

"Now is an ideal time to hold the auction with a new Bond film in the offing and Daniel Craig announced as the sixth Bond. We believe this auction will fetch more than a quarter of a million pounds."

Mr Maycock said 007 memorabilia had become big business in the last five years with legions of fans clamouring to acquire original pieces.

He said: "The Bond films are ingrained in everyone's psyche. Everyone recognises Bond - it is an iconic piece of history.

"The items up for auction this week have a variety of prices meaning everyone has a chance of owning something."

As well as the Bond collection other cinema memorabilia - including silent movie king Charlie Chaplin's hat and cane which is expected to fetch ’150,000 and the Batman mask worn by Christian Bales in the recent smash Batman Begins which could raise more than ’3,000 - will also be auctioned on Wednesday.

Flintoff's Ashes Bat Saved From The Flames.

Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff's bat has been saved from going up in flames on Australian soil.

Andrew Flintoff
Six appeal: Flintoff's bat

It was one of the star attractions at an auction which raised nearly half a million pounds for BBC Children in Need.

The Ashes-winning bat, custom made for the England hero, was sold for ’22,000 to millionaire UK businessman Nick Robinson in a close battle with Australian paparazzi boss Darryn Lyons.

Lyons had threatened to set fire to it in Australia and the bat - signed by Flintoff - was only saved from the flames when Robinson made the winning bid with the hammer about to fall.

The bat was one of the few to survive Flintoff's hard-hitting performances in the summer's Test series.

David Beckham offered four places at the opening of his new football Academy, which sold for ’15,000 to Peter Jones from BBC Two's Dragon's Den. He immediately, on Beckham's recommendation, presented it back to Children in Need to select four children from one of the many projects they fund.

Mr Jones, a leading businessman, also paid ’55,000 for a passenger ride with World Rally Champion driver Colin McRae.

Computer magnate Paul Barry Walsh paid ’15,000 to take a luxury private jet to Bologna, Italy for a VIP visit to the Bologna Motor Show, where he will see supermodel and amateur racing driver Jodie Kidd compete.

The Great Big Bid charity auction will be shown at 6.20pm tomorrow on BBC One.

The Positive Club

What You Make it

You can speculate and guess and theorize and envision, and all those things have their place. Yet you will not know for sure what you can and cannot do until you step forward and make the effort.
There are many things that might go wrong, and many obstacles you likely did not anticipate. Yet you must not allow the possibility of those problems to stop you before you even get started.

When something comes up that you didn't plan for, you can learn from it and make adjustments. When a difficult challenge arises, that challenge brings with it the opportunity for even greater value when you choose to persevere.

Everything that is easy and guaranteed to succeed has already been done. Real accomplishment comes from doing the things that no one else thinks you can do.

Lift your eyes up and see the objective at the end of the path. Then lift your feet up, one after the other, and take the first few steps along that path.

Accomplishment is not what is reasonable or practical or certain or without controversy. Accomplishment is precisely what you decide to make it.
