...name is Mr. Six - clever, right? - and his troll-like antics may prevent you from ever setting foot in a Six Flags park, no matter how exciting that Batman ride is.

I'd round off the day at the Radisson Edwardian's Opus One bar, tel: (44-161) 835 8904, and if I'm too tipsy to go home after that, I'd check into the Shirley Bassey Suite as the beds...

...children was undeniable. "Grace was like the mother, and Michael was the father," says Jackson friend and filmmaker Bryan Michael Stoller, who often visited Neverland. "The only person I saw get close to the kids besides Michael was Grace." Rwaramba returned at their time of crisis. The actor Mark Lester, star of the movie musical Oliver! and godfather to Jackson's children, spoke to her soon after the singer's sudden death and describes her as "shocked and grief stricken."
