Wanted: Time Lord to Steal Sach’s Answer Machine

Posted: 28 Dec 2008 12:11 AM CST


Jonathan Ross Wants A Timelord to retrospectively save his show - so do we!

“So,” the internet thinks aloud, “who should be playing the new Doctor Who, given that David Morrisey was a bit of a bluff?” Currently having fun doing nothing at home, it turns out that Jonathan Ross agrees with one of the names in our list, that of Russell Brand.

And what would his first task as a time lord be?

"He could travel back in time and steal Manuels asnsaphone."

It’s not long till Ross’ 13 week suspension is over, and quite frankly the BBC need him back as soon as possible. For all the controversy over Manuel-gate, the hasty replacement of Friday Night with Ross in the TV schedules and his Saturday morning Radio 2 show has illustrated the BBC has very few outlets for light entertainment.

Haste ye back!

Scotland the Launchpad for Virgin Spaceport

Posted: 28 Dec 2008 12:01 AM CST


Lossiemouth is best placed in Europe for Space Tourism

Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic, the company behind the planned joyrides into space in the 21st Century have been urged by Angus Robertson of the SNP to use an RAF base in North Scotland as their European base of operations.

RAF Lossiemouth has already been earmarked by Galactic as a suitable base of operations for their ‘Space Ship 2′ craft - a small six seater spaceship launched in the air by a mothership that can climb to 68 miles (110km) and officially past the recognised boundary of space.

Mojave, in New Mexico, will be the first spaceport, but with demand for the seats high, an expansion into both the Middle East and Europe is likely in the medium term future. If it does come to the UK, Lossiemouth will likely be up against St Mawgan in Cornwall as the first gateway to space in the country.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that RAF Lossiemouth, and the jobs created by Branson’s operation, would be in the constituency of a certain Angus Robertson.

British Parents accused of “Killing their children with kindness”

Posted: 27 Dec 2008 11:50 PM CST


Parents in Britain have been accused of not accepting responsiblity for childhood obesity.

A new campaign by the Department of Health will graphically reveal examples of children dying early from obesity related diseases.

In a section entitled “Killing with kindness”, it says: “It’s hard to say no to your kids, but if you give in every time you’re not being kind, you’re killing with kindness. Kids who eat the wrong sorts of food and sit around all day are more likely to get heart disease, cancer, diabetes and to die young. Some will die younger than their parents.”

It adds next to photographs of three young children: “One of us will die of heart disease or diabetes when we’re older because of the foods our parents let us eat now.”

The report by the DoH classes 1.6 million families with children aged between two and 11 as “high risk”. It states: “Food has become an expression of love in ‘at risk’ families. Parents are prioritising filling up their kids over feeding them the right foods. Snacking has become a way of life.”

Dillon pinning its future on education

DILLON â€" The first day at J.V. Martin Junior High School already was proving complicated enough for new Principal Amanda Burnette in August of 2007. The school scrambled to build 14 mobile classrooms after the town condemned a wing of the school that was built in 1917. And then Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama's campaign wanted to drop by.

Lincoln High student speaks out

MCCLELLANVILLE â€" Lincoln High School sophomore Miguel Brown didn't want to forget anything, so he wrote down a page of reasons why his small, rural school shouldn't be closed. He's heard about the worsening economy and what it's meant to the Charleston County School District's budget. School leaders will have to ax $14 million from this year's budget, and they anticipate slashing next year's budget by $20 million.

Burger, Hicks to offer regular local columns

A new local column featuring two of The Post and Courier's most popular writers will begin appearing regularly on this page Jan. 6. Ken Burger, whose award-winning sports columns have run in the paper for more than 20 years, will write a new column that will focus on life in the Lowcountry. Burger's column will run on this page on Saturdays, Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Firefighters still seeing counselors

Eighteen months after the deadly Sofa Super Store fire, a team of counselors still is working to help Charleston firefighters and their families cope with the blaze that killed nine men and shook a proud department to its core. About 140 Charleston firemen and their relatives have turned to the Charleston Firefighter Support Team for counseling help, and hundreds more have had some form of contact with the group since the June 18, 2007, blaze.

S.C. voters want to play it safe

When South Carolina voters were asked to allow the state and municipal governments to invest in stocks to help fund retiree health care benefits, the voters said no. Considering that the two ballot measures were decided in November while the U.S. stock market was deep in a tailspin â€" having lost about a third of its value since the start of the year â€" the outcome was not a surprise.

2008: Unforgettable

It was, at best, two steps forward and two steps back for the Charleston economy in 2008, an eventful, tumultuous and unforgettable year by any measure. Gasoline prices, which shattered the $4-a-gallon ceiling at midyear and put a serious crimp on the expense side of the accounting ledger ...

Pumped-up dollar deflates sales overseas

The weak greenback had made all kinds of U.S. exports more affordable. But a strengthening in the currency is suddenly rendering those same American goods much more expensive abroad.

Lower fuel and home prices stall green building

One analyst thinks most major builders will continue to invest in green developments. But they’ll likely need to find cheaper ways of doing it next year.

Retiree havens eye younger buyers to combat housing bust

"Active adult” developments across the U.S., residents are debating whether to scrap the age restrictions that have helped define their way of life for almost five decades. Proponents of “age desegregation,” as it’s known in the industry, say opening the doors to people under 55 is the only way their once-idyllic enclaves can stay afloat. But it is a hard sell among some residents.

Car Talk

Q. I have a four-wheel-drive 2005 Dodge Dakota with 32,000 miles on it. Since I had the front brake pads replaced four months ago, I have noticed a faint burning smell coming from the wheels after I drive to work. I took it back to the repair shop, and they could not find anything wrong. This weekend, I took it down a winding canyon road, and when I got to the bottom, there was smoke coming from the wheels, along with a strong burning smell. I took it to the Dodge dealer, and they can’t find anything wrong with the brakes â€" nothing charred, no pulsation and plenty of pad left. Do you have any idea why my brakes are smoking? TOM: Well, usually brakes smoke for one of two reasons. Either they’re being applied continually, or someone has offered them a good Cuban stogie.

Stingrays rally on Dubuc's 12th

Michael Dubuc scored his 12th goal of the year, a game-winner in the third period to lead the South Carolina Stingrays over the Mississippi Sea Wolves 3-2 at the North Charleston Coliseum on Saturday night. "I didn't really like the way we played in the first period," said coach Jared Bednar. "But the final 40 were a different story. We really competed hard in the last two periods."

Running back recruit Giles ready to join Gamecocks

TAMPA, Fla. â€" Billy Giles was a junior in high school when, as he says, he went south. And he's not referring to Miami. "The streets got me," he says, slowly shaking his head and looking at the ground below him. A promising college opportunity as an athlete, either in track or football, was torpedoed because of the poor decisions he made.

A lot riding on final day of NFL's regular season

It's the final day of the NFL regular season, a day of many "ifs" because of all the playoff permutations. If Team X wins and Teams Y and Z lose, then Team X will make the playoffs â€" that kind of day. Here's a glance at the most meaningful games of Week 17:

One-on-One with Steven Johnson
