Hull City sign Michael Bridges and Nicky Forster

Michael Bridges has completed a transfer move from Carlisle United to Hull City tonight on deadline day of the transfer window. Hull have forked out £350,000 for the ex Leeds striker.

Also a deal has just been completed with Hull City splashing out £250,000 in order to bring the striker Nicky Forster from Ipswich Town. Nicky Forster has been signed to help ease the lack of goals after City have found the net only three times from their first five league games. Forster, aged 32, has been handed a two year contract by Hull City.

His importance in the Tigers strike force is emphasized by the player being given the number nine shirt upon his arrival. Forster is expected to play a part in the Tigers next match, a difficult away trip to Birmingham.

Parkinson has been searching for an experienced striker to lead the city frontline and the thirty-two year old striker should fit the bill perfectly. Forster has been a veteran of the Championship for many seasons after spells with Reading and Ipswich and his experience will be valuable as City search for their first Championship victory.

Hull City Transfer Big Ben Burgess!

Radio Humberside have announced that striker Ben Burgess is set to depart Hull City for League 1 side Blackpool in a deal believed to be worth £100,000.

The tall striker has had a torrid time with the Tigers over the last two seasons, spending almost eighteen months of that time on the treatment table with two troublesome knee injuries. Despite recovering from a year out which saw the player miss all but three games of the League 1 promotion campaign, Burgess was only able to make a short return to first team action before being struck by injury again.

All Hull City fans will miss Ben Burgess and the help he gave us to get out of the bottom divisions, good luck at Blackpool Ben!

Explorer Summer Camp at Longridge

This year for our explorer Summer camp we took the Scout Group down to Longridge Scout Boating Centre just outside Marlow. A good time was had by all concerned before we made our way back home to let our Scouts take over part of the campsite for the following week.

Unfortunately due to other external commitments I couldn't stay for the second week! Apparently the Scouts went to Brownsea Island in the second week in which they had good fun, I wish I could have stayed as I have always wanted to visit Brownsea Island. However, they have brought back lots of good pictures and I am sure they also have lots of good stories which good.

Out in Hornsea!

Watched Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire on DVD

This evening I watch Harry Potter on DVD and I will just write a brief summary of the plot below. Before anyone states the obvious I know I am too old to admit to watching Harry Potter but I had a young relation with me at the time!

This year Hogwarts is hosting the Triwizard Tournament. Two other schools are vying for the honorable Goblet of Fire trophy: the Beauxbatons Academy and the Durmstrang Institute. Candidates, who willingly enter by placing their names in the Goblet of Fire, must be seventeen years old to join the dangerous competition of three challenges. The Goblet chooses not three, but four names. Big Harry, though only 14, cannot be excluded since the Goblet appears to want him to play.

The three challenges are fighting a dragon, an underwater rescue, and a run through a magical maze. The maze brings Harry face-to-face with tongue-wiggling Lord "No-Nose" Voldemort who needs Harry's blood to resurrect himself.

Now that Harry, Ron, and Hermione are fourteen, they are becoming interested in sex. And the School's Yule Ball has everyone expected to pair up and dance! Harry, still not claiming his magical heritage, fumbles around girls. Ron, after having a jealous spat with Harry, starts to notice his feelings for Hermione. Being more mature, Hermione accepts Durmstrang's muscular star Viktor Krum's invitation to the dance.

I personally thought that this movie was the best one so far, however its sexual references and frequent scary dragon scenes may make it too much for the younger viewers amongst you!
