      United Nations Security Council Resolution 73, adopted on August 11, 1949, noted with satisfaction the Armistice Agreements between the parties involved in the 1948 conflict in Palestine and then expressed the hope that a final settlement of all questions outstanding between the parties might be achieved soon.

    The funny thing is Paul whitehouse was a handyman/Plasterer with Charlie Higsons when he met Harry Enfield and making it big. Still working as a handyman during the daytime and in a punk/funk band in the evenings, when his first comedy work came in, mostly writing for Harry initially. (They did work for Hugh Laurie's and Stephen Fry's house when they were spotted for their talent)
