Scouts!

Tonight at Scouts we ran various campfires in practice for our Summer Camp at Longridge. I always like building campfires as it is good that the ground is not that wet at present!

Today, I made my way to the gym I have joined at Hornsea Leisure Centre in order to increase my fitness!

Michael Owen Out Of World Cup!

Unfortunately for England, striker Michael Owen will miss the rest of the World Cup finals with a knee injury, the Football Association announced.

Owen twisted his right knee early in England's Group B 2-2 draw with Sweden in Cologne on Tuesday and had a scan on Wednesday. He had only recently returned after four months out with a broken foot.

Barichello predicts Honda upturn!

Rubens Barrichello is optimistic Honda can end their dismal recent run in Formula One at present. Rubens Barrichello says his struggling Honda team could start to improve their form at Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix, so we shall have to wait and see if this is true!

Updated 25th June 2006
Unfortunately after battling hard for the final world championship point, Jenson Button finished the Canadian Grand Prix in ninth place this afternoon, ending a disappointing afternoon for the Honda Racing F1 Team. Rubens Barichello had to retire earlier in the race due to having a engine failure, so things certainly not looking as good as Rubens suggested earlier this week. However, they both started from within the top ten in this race which is better than last time!

Doctor Who: Love & Monsters

Overall, this series of Doctor Who has been many things; comical, horrific and interesting. What's also been is rather maudlin. I find Rose to be a bit dull. "The Satan Pit" at the very end where Rose tells the Doctor, "He said I'd die in battle," I was waiting for the Doctor to just turn to her and with a cheery smile say, "Don't worry, you still might."

I don't, on the whole, mind Rose. I think that her episode, "Father's Day" was one of the best in the series. However, I find that this growing romance between the Doctor and Rose is out of character with the series as a whole. I look back to the days when the Doctor would chide Rose about how the new boy aboard was her boyfriend, or about how Captain Jack was actually interested in him, or any of the like. That all said, I thought "Love and Monsters" was a spectacular episode.

Still, on the whole I thought this was one of the better episodes they've done together so far.

Scout Group Treasure Hunt!

This evening the Scout Group ran a very succesful treasure hunt around the Hornsea area and we went down some roads I had never visited before in the area, which was unusual for me. Overall, I think a succesful treasure hunt and subsequent campfire was held with everybody seeming to enjoy the occassion!

Out in Hornsea!

Tonight I went out in Hornsea with some of my friends!

Scouts & England 2 - Trinadad & Tobago O

This evening I am going to help at my local Scout Group which is normally an enjoyable experience! Having helped at Scouts for seven years!

I always find it very interesting to find out what the Scouts I have worked with do in life after they have left Scouts and tonight should once again be good! The plan for this evening is to pitch the tents we plan to take to summer camp, so we will just have to hope it doesn't rain!

Unfortunately, however England's world cup match is also on tonight! Hopefully the result will be good, and the Scouts will be able to celebrate another glorius victory in the group stage!

Waste plant set to become green fuel factory for islands

A £10 MILLION waste management plant is set to be turned into a factory to produce hydrogen as a green fuel for homes, vehicles and industry in the Western Isles under plans expected to be approved today.

The move would see the islands become the world's first large-scale producer of hydrogen derived from organic gas.

The plant in Stornoway was designed to create electricity, but could not get a national grid connection to transmit the energy.

Peter Taylor leaves Hull City to manage Crystal Palace!

Peter Taylor has been unveiled as the new manager of Crystal Palace after ending his three-and-a-half year relatively succesful tenure at Hull City. As revealed on Crystal Palace's official website and at a press conference held at 4o'clock this afternoon, Peter Taylor is now in charge of Crystal Palace, a bit sad a few Hull residents will say. But times must move on and some clubs change managers frequently! So we shall just have to see which succesful manager Adam Pearson will appoint next!
