Not a time to be French...

The victories are so few these days that you take them where you can. Ady Hurrell, of Whittlesey, Cambs, took the World Conker Championship crown less than 24 hours after Les Bleus were dumped out of the Rugby World Cup.



Whatever happens in next week's rugby world cup final, it is nice to see that for seven days at least, England are reigning world champions in two er.. sports.

Like the corpse of Frankenstein, some things should not be revived...

The BBC, flush with success over a number of revived TV shows is at it again.

Sadly, this time around they have chosen porcine puppets Pinky and Perky. Happily for them, I think that most of my friends list post date this televisual horror, but a new generation is now to be subjected to them.

The revival will be animated rather than puppetry. I suppose that's an improvement, but oh dear.


These are set to become...
