The Daily Telegraph told us last week that Michael Owen has bought his Ma and Da a house in a "luxury cul-de-sac" in Chester . . . and bought the house next door for his brother Terry . . . and the house next door to that for his sister Karen and her boyfriend Tim . . . and the house next door to that for his brother Andrew . . . and the house next door to that for his other sister Lesley. Aaaw, how lovely is that? You'll note, though, that the only member of the family who Owen didn't buy a house for in the "luxury cul-de-sac" was: himself.
