Please can someone out there explain to me why there have been two new tennis courts built on public playing feilds when the two existing courts are very rarely full? Surely the money could have been better spent on something else such as a basketball court or all weather football pitch, so that the kids of bridport have something better to do than get drunk and annoy others.
Great news readers, Bucky Doo is about to undergo a huge redevelopment, entries are invited by the Town Council for any ideas/suggestions for improvements that could be made at the expense of local businesses, all the entries will be scrutinised by a panel of experts and a prize of a large cappucino skinny larty expression has been given by Starbucks who honestly have no interest in muscling in on any small family run cafe in the area, although they suggested painting the square green and white.
Last weeks comedy night at the Beech and Barnicott was a rare and welcome treat. Host and compere, Bentley, sporting a shirt with the iridescence of a fresh mackerel ran through the surreal humour on offer in the weeks Bridport News – including the hard hitting headline “Thieving Junkie C***s”, a response to someone helping themselves to the contents of his shed. Tsk, tsk, language Bentley! “Moffit” is the current acceptable term for junkie.
The Lyric theatre up for sale as 'LAND'. The Lyric Theatre (Formerly Bernard Gale's School Of Dance) in Barrack Street is being advertised by agents Goadsby And Harding, as 'LAND' For Sale? Correct me If I'm wrong, but didn't I see a dirty great stone LISTED BUILDING standing on that very spot for the last thirty odd years of my life? What corrupt game is taking place here. Could it be the planners are scratching each others back again, maybe hoping no one will notice.
Nocturnal execution of thousands of kangaroos at the Bridport euro abbattoir. I have been awakened every morning at around 4.00 am by rough voices and revving engines and slamming doors. One morning last week I decided to investigate which unfortunate anmal was being delivered to its fate at such an ungodly hour. I leapt from my bed - actually I crawled groaning from my bed, but this was before the teeth, groin accidents, and went slowly down the stairs then I was in the street, directly next to live animal lorry.
Trying to Keep Bridport GM Free, Protecting Scallops, A Community Orchard and all those road signs; some of the topics discussed at this months meeting of the Environment Group.
A teacup fell off a shelf and was smashed in The Beach & Barnicott just a few minutes after Elvis impersonator Kim IL Sung pushed the button on his nuclear bomb test. Beach & Barnicott owner Tom Gillott said; "I was minding my own business when all of a sudden a mug fell off a shelf and smashed, there goes my profit margin I thought, it was my favourite Teenage Mutant Hero Turtle mug as well, it was an heirloom, I never imagined connecting the two events but when I saw the evening news it all clicked into place, I was smacked in the gob"
The following is a true story: In the late 1800's Bridport had its own M.P. before it became the West Dorset constituency. In the election of 1875 the Liberal candidate easily defeated the Tory candidate and became the Town's Member of Parliament. However five years later, at the next General Election, the result was mysteriously reversed. This anomalous result went completely against the national trend, as Gladstone's Liberal Government wiped out Disraeli's Prime Ministership. So what had caused this sudden decline in the fortunes of the local Liberals?
We are working on a Bridport Radio Live event with music, video, food, drink, competitions and all sorts of malarkey and we need YOUR help. Firstly to find a suitable venue, it would be great to use the old library - has anyone got any leads on this? Free tickets will be given to all Bridport Radio members and guest tickets will also be available at a very reasonable rate - watch this space. If you have something to offer or if you have any bright ideas on how to make this a great event please contact us or leave a comment.
