MPX5063530: Four paratroopers lie in a trench covering companions as they enter the hardcore Republican section of the Ardoyne in Belfast at dawn. Continuous machine-gun and light firearms firing had come from this section of the estate all night. So at dawn when the paras began their clear up operation, four of their men carefull kept watch over them. They were watching for movement on roof tops where possible snipers might still be in hiding.

MPX5068885: They say this goat's milk helps your sex life... no kidding!. That's a smug, satisfied grin on the face of Venus the goat. You don't think she knows what they're saying about her milk? That it puts pep into your sex life. Well that is what they say, those folk who partake of it regularly. They're in this line-up in the picture and you must agree they look pretty pleased with themselves too. Venus is being milked here by her owner, Mrs. Cecile Parker, who runs a health food store in Colchester, Essex. It was after the goat had snaffled some herbs from the shop that customers apparently noticed that the milk was giving them an added-well-zest. " One or two customers came in asking for the same goat's milk that they had bought before," said Mrs. Parker. "They said it had given them a lot more energy and something aout their partners noticing the difference. I thought they were joking. " But she put Venus on a special diet of herbs. "After that, more and more customers came into the store asking for the milk, " Mrs . Parker went on. But don't everybody rush off to Mrs. P's Place. Venus produces a limited amount of milk and Mrs. Parker gives it free to regular customers only. June 1971 P011776 / Bridgeman Images
