Man Who Spent his Life Helping Disabled People Find a Home Has Won a £2.5million Country House in a Raffle

Grant Carson scooped up the five-bedroom farmhouse complete with eight acres of the Lake District after entering the Omaze Million Pound House Draw. The 58-year-old widower said that he can now get a dog, which was what he always wanted, but was always out of the question due to chronic arthritis he has had since he was seven.

Carson worked at the same Glasgow charity for 27 years helping disabled people with all aspects of life, and had never won anything before. He was understandably stunned when the Omaze team surprised him at his three-bedroom home in Glasgow. ”It’s not your average Friday night that someone comes to your door and tells you that you’ve won a £2,500,000 house,” said Carson. “I might be one of the luckiest men in Scotland.”

I think that's an awesome blessing that he got for being a blessing to others in need!!!

Lisa Marie Presley, singer-songwriter and daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, has died. She was 54.

"It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us," Priscilla confirmed in a statement to PEOPLE Thursday evening.

"She was the most passionate strong and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers. At this time there will be no further comment."

On Thursday morning, Presley was rushed to the hospital for a possible cardiac arrest. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department confirmed to PEOPLE that paramedics responded to the 5900 block of Normandy drive in Calabasas to treat a woman in her 50s who was not breathing. When they arrived, the paramedics began CPR and, upon noting the patient had "signs of life," transferred the woman to a local hospital for "immediate medical care."

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Fire Department confirmed to PEOPLE that the unit was dispatched to the address for a cardiac arrest call.

The star — who is the only child of rock icon Elvis Presley — posed for photos at the Golden Globes alongside Priscilla and Butler, who took home a win for playing Elvis in the Baz Luhrmann film of the same name.

Presley's daughter Riley Keough recently praised her mom to PEOPLE, calling her an "inspiration" and "a very strong, smart woman."

"I was raised by somebody who did their own thing and didn't really care what other people thought. She was definitely inspirational to me," said Keough, 33, who will soon star in the Amazon Prime series Daisy Jones & the Six, based on the hit novel.

Presley is also mom to twin daughters Finley Aaron Love and Harper Vivienne Anne, 14, with ex-husband Michael Lockwood. She lost son Benjamin Keough to suicide in 2020 at age 27.

"On behalf of his family, it is with deep and profound sadness that we share the news of Jeff Beck’s passing," Beck's representative confirmed in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.

"After suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis, he peacefully passed away yesterday. His family ask for privacy while they process this tremendous loss."

Beck spent the summer touring with Johnny Depp in Europe after releasing his final album, "18."

Their catalog was in the works for three years, and included covers of Motown musicians, in addition to songs from the Beach Boys, John Lennon and Velvet Underground.

"When Johnny and I started playing together, it really ignited our youthful spirit and creativity," Beck told The Sunday Times last year. "We would joke about how we felt 18 again, so that just became the album title too."

Depp began touring with Beck in the midst of his defamation trial against Amber Heard. Beck and Depp began playing together in 2016 when Jeff dropped in on Johnny's band, the "Hollywood Vampires." They began recording together in 2019.

"It’s an extraordinary honor to play and write music with Jeff, one of the true greats and someone I am now privileged enough to call my brother," Depp said in a statement.

'The western media class is a cloistered, incestuous circle jerk that only cares about impressing other members of the cloistered, incestuous circle jerk. It doesn't care about creating an informed populace or holding the powerful to account, it cares about approval, inclusion and acclaim from its own ranks, regardless of what propagandistic reporting is required to obtain it.'

This perfectly describes the vast majority of 'journalists' in mainstream western media today. They're not interested in truth or holding corruption to account. They're interested in (metaphorically) whacking each other off and serving corrupt power centers.

It hasn't been quiet in Trump world, not for one minute. A few news stories daily and 'Trutes' from his TRUTH social media site keeping those 'Libs' on their toes.

I'm surprised no one on CS mentioned that Biden had classified documents in his possession. Trump did and wants to know why the FBI didn't raid his many homes.

Hmmm... that's one to ponder!

I pulled him aside today and said I would like to talk to him, about my exit from where I am working now. We are gonna sit down at the end of the month, and form a plan for how it's going to unfold.

Long story short - my time at my current place of work is slowly coming to an end. By the time it ends, I will have been there for just over a year. One year and three months, to be exact.

"But Philipsen, what will you do now?", I hear you ask.. You might also ask "Did you get fired?".. I did not get fired. It's my own desire to end working there. What I will do when my time is ending where I am now, is move to another department, in the same company.

I am not quitting my job, don't worry. I am just changing locations. My future place of employment will be at the headquarters, which is friggin' huge! 24500 square meters. For any of you people who use square feet, it's 263715 square feet. 14 massive buildings. Dude, it's massive! I went there for the company Christmas party, and it was pretty intimidating.

Anyway, the conversation that I am having with my logistics- and warehouse manager is just to iron out the small details - when I am moving, what I will do and what my assignments will be. I would love to continue to do the same as I do now, but it all depends on what he has in mind. Where he thinks I will fit in. He said something about evening shifts, which is from noon to 10 pm. It's a 10 hour shift, which means I will have Fridays off. That suits me well, so I am thinking that's what I want to aim for. It all looks very bright for me at the company. I love what I do, and I love coming to work every day.

Be honest.. You thought this blog was about something completely different, right?

Excellent video on how the banking industry in U.S. near!y destroyed the U.S. economy and how much was initially hidden from the American people.

Will the greed and lack of oversight in the Republican party let it happen again?

See Christ is ALWAYS remembered on a Friday for it is his day of birth from the Maori Culture known as Ra Mere.
What Romans call the planet Veuns, Our Ancestors call it Mere aka Christ, ie star of CHrist.

For it is his Birth Star.

What if the so called planet venus was in fact a narrative in which the romans wanted to hide with stories of the goddess of love.

We all know the story about Christ's birth about a new star is born, and how 3 wise kings followed the star during Mary's pregnancy stages. That the star appeared when Christ appeared while in Her Womb. We all know this story like the back of our own hands.

We all know 3 wise kings followed this star to the stables in which Christ is born, and that it never faded in brightness. we all know he was being hunted and they were tracking him by His Star.
Im calling it what it is not what the Romans want you to call it.

Star of Christ
But why do I say its the 27th of Dec and not the 25th? because it falls on a Friday because Christ is born on Friday in fact it was specifically made for Christ so that our people never forget. The following image below shows you our 13 month Calender:



So, the dates that fall on the Friday; 6,13, 20 and 27 on every month so its both hard to miss and forget
Did you also know that Sunday was the first day of the week and thats why there was Sunday school?
Did you also know that February was the First month of the year?

See we were introduced Venus from the religious folk at that time, when we exchanged our history and translations were made to suit the english language and culture.

It is Called the Star of Mere to us, and still is, but most have forgotten this.

In Summary we celebrate Birth of Christ on 27th of Jan known as Ra Mere.
What if, though, it is Christ's true and original birth date?

Interesting fact did you know who used to be seated at the right hand of the Father?
Lucifer
Due to his acts he was obviously de throned, but the old city is still active to this day. Guess what his birth day is?
Friday the 6th of Sol. Heres the scary truth ppl frday used to be the day of Lucifer.

Thats the kind of status Lucifer had... I repeat HAD. Until he was replaced on the day of Christ's birth. Christ is the new Light Bringer. is the new Honored one of Friday and right hand of Father.

Unbelievable what a low life the pig really is.
