Giant Worm found in Cornwall

When I read the headline I didn't expect to see a four foot worm.

A Plague of deer

Two fatal crashes on Norfolk roads in a few days due to deer?

I drove on these roads for twenty years and never saw a deer. Mind you, a friend of my brother has had two accidents with deer in the past few years on the road between Norwich and Cromer. He was travelling home late at night after shift work so I imagine that the time of day or night is a big factor.

I left ten years ago and I don't recall any stories of fatal crashes with deer when I was there. Are there more deer about now? You wouldn't think so with the reduction in habitat over the last 20-30 years.

Dana Perino at Windsor

They're Taking Over The World

I was reading an article about a planning request for wind turbines being turned down and this paragraph leaped out at me

It is the second time Ecotricity has submitted plans for the site. Its previous proposal, which critics claim is identical, was thrown out by councillors last November.

A key factor of that decision was that the Ministry of Defence (MoD) had opposed the development on the grounds that the turbines would pose a threat to national security.

Since then the MoD has withdrawn its objection.

What! I'd like to see what their reasoning was.

Is Chris Brown the New Dean Coney?

I had the opportunity to watch Norwich this season as their home game with Sheffield Wednesday was shown in full here in Australia.

It was a lamentable performance from most of the players. I know we had three players suspended, but my big question is... what is Chris Brown for? He looked like a reincarnation of one of Norwich's worst ever signings, Dean Coney. Yes, he won a couple of headers, but he never looked like a threat in the game. With David Strihavka on the bench and Chris Martin also available, why play him at all?

With Norwich now in the bottom three of the championship, we need to start playing some football, preferably without Brown in the team. Up early tomorrow morning as the QPR-Norwich game is being shown live here at 4.45am.
