| Me and my travels
Big family holidays to Cornwall. Me, our kid and all our cousins all went down. You can imagine Cornwall in the early 1970s being hit by a load of Mancs. It didn't know what had hit it: we used to rob it blind. No one down there seemed to know that shoplifting existed. Cheapest holidays I've ever had. MY BEST EVER HOLIDAY WAS... I can't remember. My memory is absolutely terrible. It's crystal clear until I was 17 and then there are just massive gaps. I'm told I went to Cuba to film a video; I genuinely don't remember ever being there. TRAVELLING USED TO BE... All about finding drugs. When we first went to New York in the mid-1980s, crack was just being written and talked about. That was our main mission - to find out how to make crack proper.

A “miracle child from nowhere" born to a Stafford mother who has only half an ovary was revealed today at Stafford's maternity unit. Tiny Alfie Siviter is the baby nobody ever thought could be born. His mother Trudi Siviter, aged 39, was told by doctors 20 years ago she could never have children and, after two ectopic pregnancies, several attempts at IVF fertility treatment and the removal of all but half of one ovary, she had resigned herself to having a hysterectomy. But last July – three months before she was due to have the hysterectomy – she was “shocked, but happy", to find she was pregnant. Despite having only half an ovary left, which was itself not functioning properly, Alfie was born naturally at Staffordshire General Hospital's maternity unit eight months into the pregnancy on December 7.

BIRTHED: Trudi Siviter, 39, had given up hope of conceiving a baby. A cervical cancer survivor, she had only half an ovary and had suffered two ectopic pregnancies and three failed IVF attempts. Siviter scheduled a hysterectomy, but then a surprise: She was pregnant. She gave birth to a healthy baby boy in December. "It's one of God's little miracles," said Siviter's doctor, Karen Powell. "It just goes to show we can never say never." KIDNAPPED: Gunmen kidnapped a U.S. aid worker and her Afghan driver Jan. 26 outside of Kandahar, Afghanistan. Cyd Mizell, 49, spent the past three years in Afghanistan working for the Asian Rural Life Development Foundation. She teaches English at a high school and helps women learn ways to generate income. .
