Good morning! Its Peter here. Like me it looks like you all noticed the wonderful full moon at the weekend. Wasnt it spectacular? Lots of photographs have come in, so thank you very much for those. Theyre wonderful. As always, keep your photographs coming in. I still really enjoy seeing your views on the programme every night. So keep them coming in! As always, this week, if you want to get in touch with me, then its [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can get me direct on that email address. I look forward to hearing from you.
Tonight on the programme, we'll be with the Floods Minister, Phil Woolas, as he visits Hedon today to see how flood victims there are coping four months on. Youll be able to hear his response as we put your concerns to the minister and we'll be raising the question of what the government plans to do to help prevent such flood damage in the future. Also tonight, as fuel prices continue to rise across the region, we need your help tonight to complete our map of the most expensive and cheapest fuel in Lincolnshire and the East Riding. Well be highlighting also the plight of motorists and businesses in our region, who are struggling with such high motoring costs. Damian Johnson will be following up after Hull City's defeat over Scunthorpe with an interview with Hull City's manager, Phil Brown. And he will have the rugby league fixtures for next season, plus the derby dates. And it's relief all round at Sincil Bank as Peter Jackson celebrates his first win in charge. Thats all tonight on BBC One at half past six. Plus Paul is back from his stint as chief nappy changer! Paul will have the forecast for us as normal, although I think I could stand in for him tonight by saying simply, its very cold!! Im sure lots of you were busy Christmas shopping at the weekend. Well, heres a little festive plug. The Rotary Club in Scunthorpe is to hold its third annual Festival of Christmas Trees hosted by Old Brumby United Church. All the money raised will go to Scunthorpes Lindsey Lodge Hospice. There will be fifty-seven Christmas Trees in the church all individually decorated by local community groups. Theres even one eight foot tall upside down Christmas Tree I cant think why!! George Jefferson must have the answer to that one. He emailed in for a plug. He says that the Festival is over two consecutive weekends from the 1st/2nd and 8th/9th December at the Old Brumby United Church in Scunthorpe. So good luck to them, especially in hanging that eight foot tall Christmas tree upside down! And just briefly, I know Children In Need is over for this year, but still the money is coming into the charity and I think that deserves a thank you. Wetwang Primary School have been busy! This comes from Karen Atkin, Hi Peter, We know we are late in telling you about our Children In Need fundraising. We raised £118.55 with a non uniform day, bun sales and fun activities - not bad for a school with forty pupils. Do you think Paul or yourself could say a thank you to all the people who supported the school in this fundraising. So thanks go to Karen and all the people, who help with the Pudsey events. Thank you to you! Read My Mind Not that I know anything about computer games, but it seems to me that so much technology and research goes into this industry. Reading peoples minds sounds like something Nasa should be researching, but scientists at an American laboratory have been brainstorming this technology for more than five years and perhaps have had a breakthrough. Its called Epoc and its a helmet that is capable, allegedly, of being able to read your mind. Its to be launched early next year in Britain and the US. I thought that this must surely have incredible affects for science and for how people use computers, but at the moment gamers are more excited at the possibility of being able to think their onscreen computer character into action. But never mind what it means for computer games, just imagine what that would mean for our everyday lives! We could think our light switches on or off, we could think our TVs to change channel or we could think the kettle to start boiling water fo! r us. That sounds incredible doesnt it? And its all down to the helmet being able to measure electrical impulses, which are triggered in our brain when we think of things. Its works on the same basis as the EEG scan that people have sometimes in hospital. Sounds unbelievable doesnt it? Well, its due out for release with new computer games in the US and UK early next year. So watch out for that! On that note, thats it from me! Perhaps I should have a practise on some computer games as it seems thats where the interesting gadgets are! Perhaps not! Take care and join me tonight for Look North if you can.
