The proposed Olympic monorail that is scheduled to come into service by 2012 serving stations from Bridport to Portland along the Chesil Bank has been allowed to broaden their remit to include shuttle monorails from Asker Meadows car park to the centre of town. A local councillor said it there would be less horse dung involved than in competing projects.

Bridport town council have taken up a sponsorship deal from industry giant Coca Cola as part of the ongoing revamping of the town hall, Coca Cola are putting forward £170,000 to install a new digital display to replace the existing old fashioned time piece. A council spokesperson said “it will also tell the date and ambient temperature and will be handy for commuters using the new monorail ”  
The spokesman went on to say "we dont want to break with tradition so the new clock will be programmed to beep thirteen times when ringing in the new year (read about it...)".

The polls are now closed and the votes have been counted. Bridport Radio can now announce that the winner in our mayoral elections with 39% of the votes is Waldorf & Stadtler!  Congratulations sir(s) we hope your reign will be a long and prosperous one.

Relaxed gambling laws, cheaper beer and fags, banks with high interest rates, no import/export restrictions, no more silly town councils, in fact, no more silly local government at all! Let us picture it for one moment; The rural charm of West Dorset, the cosmopolitan edge of Dubai, the class of Monaco, the lack of road laws of The Isle of Man, the lifestyle of the rich for ALL! The transference of all public services to private, local companies, creating employment and producing a better service.

The Cayman Islands, Dubai, Monaco…the list goes on. Why not start a campaign to make Bridport & Westbay a tax haven?

We’ll have rural hoe’s and compound bows… we’ll have seagull cull views and holiday maker news, not a one sided load of rubbish that makes your eye lids droop… when I’m finished each week your eye lids will be having panic attacks! 
This weeks thrilling instalment... 

Episode one… The Seagull strikes backs

Ever attempted to travel up or down Skilling Hill Road in anything other than a pair of roller skates? Doesn’t it make you wonder how those “traffic calming measures” actually calm traffic? On the face of it, this veritable Krypton Factor of a road has done nothing but force traffic uncontrollably over kerbs right on the doorstep of a busy primary school. The leisure centre on the other hand can suffer because, quite frankly, if you are going to walk/jog to and from leisure centres then you’re digging an early grave anyhow.

SO WHAT'S IN A NAME?
The name Bucky Doo can be traced to "Bocardo" a name given by medieval logicians to a categorical syllogism whose standard form has the mood and figure designated as OAO-3. Which is applied to a prison because just as a Bocardo syllogism always ended up in a final negative, so did a compulsory visit to the Bocardo lock-up generally mean a closer aquaintance with 'the Bridport dagger' and a final negative to the drama of life.

Dear Ed., re: Bucky Doo.

Another thought as to how Bucky Doo became just that is that there was (hundreds of years ago before our present Town Hall was built) a public house on the site called "The Buck and Doe". Hope this might help your 'confusion'.

Thanks for that btw see...

Made up for a laugh...
If I really cast my mind back, I can remember most people referring to Bucky Doo Square simply as "The Square". The name "Bucky Doo" was revived following the installment of that Carl Dixon masterpeice (which actually features a profile of my sis!). Anyway, isn't there a chance that this name wasn't 'revived' and was actually just 'made up for a laugh'? It does seem odd that the town can be filled with people that have lived here for many generations stretching back hundreds of years, and yet there are still no documented facts concerning the origins of the name "Bucky Doo" nor, infact the origins of the annual Torch Light Procession. Most odd indeed! Perhaps the annual procession was invented by the Woodman as a way of increasing revenue back in the late 1970's?
