Hi there Peter here, Hope your Tuesday is going well! Before I forget I have another birthday to do. Elaine Ainley has written to me wanting a mention in the LL its her birthday today. Elaine said a mention in the letter would make her day!!!!! Well I wont comment but consider it done. Happy Birthday Elaine.
TONIGHT AT 6 30 ============== As well as all the days news I shall be talking to swimmer and television personality Sharron Davies tune in to find out why she is in the region at the usual time of 6 30. (By the way if youre a magic fan then there will also be something of interest tonight- I will say no more) CAR STICKERS ============= Again I followed a loyal Look North viewer to work with a car sticker in the back of her snazzy blue sports number!!!!! Now that we have settled that we are not changing anything and staying as LOOK NORTH if you would like a car sticker then drop me a line as soon as possible with a good sized SAE to BBC Queens Gardens Hull HU1 3RH . GOOD NEWS =========== At last in a survey Hull does well. The City is among the top 10 places to visit in England according to a new tourism booklet. Hooray - I still haven't forgiven that Phil Spencer off C4 and Im really keen to get him on the hot seat on the show .We'll do it .although up to now its proven more difficult that Bryan Ferry ! CAUGHT ======= Parents who worry about their teenagers driving dangerously can monitor them with a satellite tracking device. The £130 gadget detects risky manoeuvres and sends a text to the drivers mother or father. I think a similar gadget would be good for Snow Whites little helper .a duff forecast and it automatically texts the head of the weather centre. SURVEYS WE LIKE ================ More men than ever are spending time in the kitchen (No-I'm not one of them ) Apparently many men see being able to cook as the way to a girl's heart-pasta and Thai food are first date favourites but the survey found that when a boy really wants to impress he'll do a full roast meal. But while men are busy tying their pinnies the girls it seems have gone shopping!!! According to another survey, women's spending power has doubled in the last twenty years. And they're not afraid to spend that cash on themselves. The average woman blows nearly two thousand pounds a year on going to restaurants and bars and (surprise surprise) nearly a thousand pounds on shoes . COMPUTER ========== Paul laughed at me yesterday for spending most of my weekend playing on my computer and then I switch on the TV last night and see him spending several days chasing Storms .I rest my case!!! I was reading about the number of items we have bought which seem like a good idea at the time which now are gathering dust and not used. The most redundant item is the sandwich toaster - 45 per cent of people who own them dont use them. The second most useless item is the bathroom scales followed by the coffee machine and foot spa. I remember buying a bread maker and at the time vowed that this was the future making my own lovely bread and never having to buy bread from the supermarket again. I think I used it twice with the flour which came with it and its never been used since!!! BLUES BUSTERS ============== An e mail this morning from Martin saying 'Would you give the Blues Busters a mention in the Levy letter. This is a self-help support group for people with depression. The idea is that people who have had the illness are more able to understand and help than professionals. No professionals are allowed at our meetings. We meet at the Goodwin Centre, Icehouse Road every Monday from 10pm to 3 30pm.If you want to contact them you can on 01482 507699 GET IN TOUCH ANYTIME ==================== If you want to then drop me a line at [EMAIL PROTECTED] this will come directly to me. All the best join me at 6 3O as usual.
