Hi there, its Peter here. Let's hope the weekend holds the blue skies and for the brave souls who were not daunted by our story this week on the broken bungee ride, there is a last chance to visit Hull Fair. Maybe you will choose a more sedate pastime and look in on Strictly Come Dancing to watch Cherie Lunghi and her partner, James, dance American Smooth in week 5 of the competition and see Cherie give the youngsters a run for their money! It is the first week of the competition where male and female celebrities compete against each other. Some of our presenters and reporters from Look North are undergoing 7 weeks training to learn a routine to perform at the Bridlington Spa on Children in Need night. This week saw the Antiques Road Show visit the Spa in Bridlington with Fiona Bruce. Have you ever found a family heirloom in the attic or had something valued that your other half wanted to throw away - maybe even rescued something valuable from a skip - I would love to hear about it if you have. Olympic Stars Almost two months after they returned from Beijing with the best medal haul in 100 years, it was finally time for Team GB to be welcomed home. Carried on 12 floats and led by the Coldstream Guards, the Olympic and Paralympic teams were saluted by cheering crowds lining the route to Trafalgar Square. Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, made a rousing speech in glorious sunshine a real feel good moment and a lot of anticipation for the 2012 Games.
Status Quo Those of you that lost out on seeing Status Quo this week will be happy to hear that Look North has been told that the show has been rescheduled to 30th January and all tickets for the original show remain valid. Rock on! Gator Gobbling Snake You know how much I hate snakes well there is one less in the world to worry about - a 13 foot Burmese python tried to swallow a 6 foot alligator in the Everglades National Park. They're deadly rivals and the python's remains were found with the alligator's tail protruding from its burst midsection. The head of the python was missing! The Rangers say the snakes are left in the wild after they become too big as pets. Im glad that doesnt happen here maybe you know different? Im not sure I want to know if you do! Sporty Stuff Good luck to all our regional teams playing this weekend. The Tigers are playing West Ham at home on Sunday. West Ham is 6th in the League and Hull is 2nd only to Liverpool and Chelsea! Watch out for traffic problems with the Fair being on and have a great weekend.
