The Sure Report on ninety six AVM wicked for good

hundred and fifty million dollars worldwide. It beat its own

(00:22):
record set last year by Part one for the opening
weekend takings. For a stage musical adaptation in Lee's, the
bass player for the band Movie Pictures, has died after
suffering a heart attack. He was only in his sixties.
I can't tell you his exact age, but his death
was announced on social media by the band's lead singer
Alex Smith, who wrote Forever and Ever My Friend and
just Quietly the World's Greatest bass Player. Lee's was also

so one didn't read the sign properly. They're down the hall.
It's been auctioned off in New York. It went on
the block at South East with a starting bit of
around fifteen million dollars and it was bought for just
short of nineteen million buy Ripley's Believe it or not? Really, Yes,

(02:17):
I didn't even know that was still going. Hi, I
didn't know they had nineteen million dollars to spend on
a gold toilet. I suppose it's they still have their museum.
It must obviously be going very strong. It fits the brief.
Believe it or not, it definitely fits the nineteen million
dollar toilet. Yes, I used yes once accidentally. I don't

(02:38):
