🚨No one has ever given me a birthday gift🚨
Charles Bronson was born 11th of 15 children in the coal region of the Allegheny Mountains in Pennsylvania. His family was so poor that, at one time, he had to wear his sister's dress to school for lack of clothing. His father died when Bronson was 10, so Bronson went to work in the coal mines, first in the office and then in the mine until he entered the army during World War 2.
In 1962, Bronson was acting in the TV Western series The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters, starring 12-year-old Kurt Russell. Kurt found out Bronson's birthday and gave him a model gas-powered airplane. Bronson took it, didn't say a word, turned and walked off. The crew consoled Kurt, telling him not to worry about it.
Kurt said, "The assistant director came to me and said Charles wants to see you in his dressing room. I knocked on his door. It opened and he looked down, but not at me. He said, 'No one has ever given me a birthday gift.'
"When my birthday came up, Bronson got us both skateboards and we rode around the studio lot. Soon I was told to stop skate-boarding by the studio president. Bronson found out about it, grabbed me and we went into the president's office unannounced.
Bronson said to the president, 'Kurt and I are going to ride our boards around the studio.' Bronson turned, I turned, and we walked out of the office. We skate-boarded around the lot from then on and no one said a word.
Mama: "doh worry bout dem & dey foolishness, dey won't stop we carnival."
A couple years off 90 but with more energy than me; I struggled to stop her joining the crowds.

Nearly three-quarters of adults in the UK (71%) do not get the recommended 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night. So it's no wonder the military sleep method has gone viral, especially when you throw in the anxiety-inducing state of the world right now.

My cousin opened a restaurant located in Angel 2 mins away from the station in London called Roti World, where you can choose any fillings to go inside your roti. The food is an absolute 10/10 (not being biased 😋) and there’s vegan options available! #SupportBlackBusiness ✨
