    WWII tunnel survey

    March 29th, 2009
    As those of you who have followed me last week on Twitter and and Facebook will know, I undertook a survey of a complex of WWII tunnels in Newhaven last week. The tunnels, known as HMS Forward, runs for about 400m and they are about 60 feet undergound. I have placed some photos of the tunnels on my Facebook profile here: . It was dark and relatively tidy, with stale (but safe) air at the far end.

    Unitary Pilot Committee needs a broader vision

    September 29th, 2008
    Bridgnorth Town Councillor, David Walker, has criticized the current unitary pilot scheme running in Bridgnorth as being too narrow in scope and only focused on grant funding. Members were informed during a debate on Unitary at the Town Council, that the pilot scheme was not very effective at representing the issues and views of Bridgnorth. Speaking during the debate David pointed out that SALC

    Thrilled with Eagles' trade for Jason Peters

    April 19th, 2009
    On Friday, The Philadelphia Eagles acquired Jason Peters in a trade with Buffalo reported to be worth $60 million, with $24 million guaranteed. The Eagles signed him to a 6 year extension in the process that should see him remain an Eagle through 2014. It might sound a lot but I actually think this deal is a steal. The number one priority for the Eagles after loosing Tra Thomas had to get a sol

    Big Win for Shropshire Revolution in 2009 season opener

    April 19th, 2009
    Shropshire's only American Football team have got their season off to a cracking start in their season opener against Lincolnshire Bombers with an impressive 95-0 victory. I expected a big win but not that big as both sides would have improved from last year. I guess Shropshire improved a lot more! According to reports on the BAFl Forum the "Revos D was awesome! As usual solid performances from #4

    Thank you letter to Bridgnorth Journal

    June 9th, 2009
    Dear Sir, This is just a quick note, hopefully, to say thank you to everybody who voted for me last Thursday. In so doing, I also want to thank everybody who turned out to vote even if it wasn't to vote for me. There was a period with all the immoral behaviour of MPs at Westminster when I thought the turnout was going to be abysmal. Thankfully that didn't happen and democracy lives to fight ano

    England humiliated by Wales

    February 2nd, 2008
    I have just finished watching two different England sides play Wales on the BBC. In the first half England were supreme. In the second half they were worse than ordinary. Sloppy sloppy sloppy. In was plain embarrassing. Hat's off to Wales for the come back but they only managed it because we were so bad. If they do that again I might getter a better reward following Italy .

    Come on turkeys.... Vote for Christmas!

    June 10th, 2009
    Today we will probably see an interesting exchange at PMQs - difficult to see how Brown can put any gloss on the election results but I am sure he will try. For me though, the interesting part of the day will be the vote this evening, calling for the dissolution of parliament. The SNP and Plaid Cymru have tabled a motion calling for dissolution, saying the government has lost authority and an e

    Diffuser row decision day for Braun and Button

    April 13th, 2009
    With all the other things going on for me at the moment, the row about split level diffusers has passed me by. I saw the following on the BBC Sport website: "Jenson Button will find out if his car is legal when world motorsport's governing body, the FIA, makes a final ruling on the diffuser row on Tuesday." More: BBC Sport. It seems that the row about split level diffusers, the rear part of

    Bridgnorth looking like an ashtray again

    March 8th, 2008
    To be fair to Bridgnorth District Council, when I complained about the amount of cigarette butts in and around Bridgnorth they sent out somebody to sort the problem. The following Tuesday, at Bridgnorth Town Council, I raised the matter whilst we discussed tourism in Bridgnorth. I again pressed the Town Council to make sure that the installed bins are properly identifiable as cigarette and chewing
