Hello there, Peter here on a cold but sunny day in Hull today. Hope you remembered to put your clocks back and didnt get caught out. Its always remarkable how the season and temperature seems to change overnight with the time change and it is definitely a day for winter woollies today!
Hull City did it again! 3-0 Against West Bromwich Albion away . The fairy tale continues. It will be a tough week for City playing both Chelsea at home and Manchester United away this week. Strictly lost Mark Foster, the Olympic swimmer, and Cherie lives to fight another day, despite her slip at the start of her routine. Heavyweight Wedding Did you see that the Worlds heaviest man has married his girlfriend in front of TV cameras and 400 guests in Mexico. Manuel Uribe was taken to his wedding on the bed he has been unable to leave for the last six years, towed by a truck, in his home town of Monterrey. The 43-year-old tipped the scales at 560kg (88 stones) in 2006, but has since shed around 250kg (39 stones). A tearful Mr Uribe married Claudia Solis, 38, in a ceremony filmed by a US TV channel. Mr Uribe's custom-made bed was decorated with a canopy, flowers and gold-trimmed bows at it was towed by a truck through the streets of Monterrey to a local hall for the civil service, Instead of a first dance, the pair are reported to have sat together, holding hands and swaying to the song and they didnt have a cake at the reception! Ricky Gervais Dental Divide What do you feel about having a Hollywood smile? British teeth are not like American teeth. Hollywood smiles are pearly white paragons of straightness. British teeth might be described as having character. So much character, in fact, that Ricky Gervais says one US journalist complimented him on being prepared to wear false teeth for his role as an English dentist in his latest film, Ghost Town. Only he didn't. Ricky said "He was horrified that I could have such horrible real teeth. It's like the biggest difference between the Brits and the Americans, they are obsessed with perfect teeth," says Gervais. Unlike many British stars hoping to make it big across the Atlantic, Gervais hasn't bought himself a Hollywood Smile. But what is it about the bright white and perfectly straight teeth of Los Angeles that Americans love - and expect of their public figures? There has been much speculation over whether Gordon Brown has had a smile makeover. Until now it has been considered rat! her un-British to go for an upgrade, says Professor Steele. Martin Fallowfield, a cosmetic dentist and executive board member of the British Dentist Association, says "Quite often teeth whitening is a 40th or 50th birthday present, a procedure that can be done in a dentist's chair in two hours for about £650. A more intensive "smile makeover" - perhaps involving veneers, crowns and reconstruction work - can take months and cost anything from £2,000 to £10,000." As for the likes of Ricky Gervais, it makes sense to stick to his guns, says Mr Fallowfield. "A lot of people in his place would have had their teeth fixed in this day and age. But for comedians, it's good to look unique." I think I would like to keep the unique British look - Keep smiling!
