Apologies if this has been mentioned before (long thread, this!) but the house used for the exterior shot of Harry Palmer’s (Michael Caine) flat in the Ipcress File (the one where his omelette-making technique is enough to seduce Sue Lloyd) is the one on the corner of Stanlake Villas and Stanlake Road, just round the corner from HQ. |  | | |

The idea of buying a diamond engagement ring for prospective brides is surprisingly recent - from the 1940's - and was the result of a marketing blitz by De Beers, who had a glut of diamonds they needed to get rid of (up to that point diamonds were mostly used for industrial purposes).
And it all really took off when:
"A young copywriter called Frances Gerety scribbled the words 'a diamond is forever' on a scrap of paper next to a picture of a couple on honeymoon late one night in the early 1950s. Little did she know that the line would outlive her. Advertising industry lore suggests that her colleagues were not particularly impressed by the line but presented it to their client [De Beers] anyway as they had nothing better to offer. "

That’s the one. She then asks him if he always wears glasses, while helpfully removing them. He says, “Yes, except in bed”. (On reflection, probably one for the ‘chat-up line’ thread, that). | | | |

Posthumous execution of Oliver Cromwell
History tells us that Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England during the country’s brief stint as a republic, died of complications due to malaria and kidney stone disease. How then, did his chopped-off head end up in private collections and museums for centuries to come?
Well, after his death, the country decided to ditch the republic and asked Charles II to return to England and restore the Stuart monarchy in 1660. Charles returned, but not without a serious grudge against Cromwell and all those who’d executed his father.
Charles put together a kill list with a series of most wanted names on it. One of which was Cromwell but since he was already dead, the next best thing to enact revenge was to have him exhumed and posthumously executed.
Cromwell’s head was stuck on a spike in Westminster Hall for the next 30 years. It then spent 250-odd years being bought and sold by various collectors until it was finally buried in 1960 at Sidney Sussex College in Cambridge. |  |
