The pet I’ll never forget: Benny the cat, who climbed into my shopping bag – then shared my baths | Cats

The pet I’ll never forget: Benny the cat, who climbed into my shopping bag – then shared my baths | Cats

Published by Sam Flores

I suppose you could say I got Benny from the shops. In 2006, he and his brother ambushed me outside a supermarket in Bahrain. They were trying to climb into the bags of shopping I was carrying to get at the food they could smell. Immediately smitten, I took them in. It was the start of a 16-year relationship that saw Benny and Buster accompany me to Kenya, Qatar, back to Bahrain, then finally to Manchester. I used to say they had seen more countries than most people. I was an advertising creative director and followed the work where I could get it. It was an interesting but lonely life and my new pals, who were about three months old, immediately made a difference. I was besotted with them, but it was Benny, with his endearing quirks, who really stole my heart.

Published by Sam Flores

Selena Gomez revealed in 2020 that she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Since then, the singer and actor—who also suffers from lupus and previously underwent a kidney transplant— has publicly spoken several times about her condition, including in the 2022 documentary My Mind & Me.

Gomez and her husband Benny Blanco returned to the topic on the debut episode of his new podcast Friends Keep Secrets, explaining how they cope together with her manic episodes.

When he notices that his wife is about to have a crisis, Blanco tries to listen and calm her down. “It’s such a delicate thing,” he said. “You’re not supposed to talk to someone while they’re deep in it.” “It is helpful to have a partner …

What’s Wrong With Benny Hill? review – a vivid reminder of what millions once found hilarious | Theatre

Published by Sam Flores

TV has mined a rich seam of golden-age comedian biopics – but Benny Hill has yet to be afforded the posthumous privilege. That’s partly the point of this stab in that direction by Mark Carey, which asks why Hill has been so thoroughly expunged from our comedy pantheon. The reasons are widely known, of course, and rehearsed again here: the former best-loved man on television traded in a humour many modern viewers find sexist, racist and sad. One might hope for greater insight from a 100-minute play on the subject but, for all the pleasures along the way, it doesn’t have a great deal to add. Carey’s play with songs flashes back through Hill’s life from his last days as a “mad recluse” talking to a visiting solicitor about his will. With all other roles played with spirit by Georgie Taylor, we meet Hill’s dad “the Captain”, who sold “rubber johnnies” for a living, and find Benny writing letters to his auntie from the cafes he frequented in France. Between scenes, a babble of online …
