b'There has been a big outcry against the health and safety dept\\u2026\\u2026in their wisdom they decided that the age old English activity of \\u201ccheese rolling\\u201d is highly dangerous\\u2026this event takes place each year in one of our Shropshire villages and involves chasing a ball of cheese down a very steep hill\\u2026..as there have been many casualties the H & S have stepped in \\u2026 and instead of using cheese they made them use a ball of polystyrene\\u2026.which was a disaster as the ball wouldn\\u2019t roll against the wind\\u2026..so the villagers rose up and got their way\\u2026so it\\u2019s back to cheese and A & E.\\n \\nVauxhalls have announced they are bringing back the VIVA\\u2026..but it wont be like the 60\\u2019s one\\u2026.THANK GOODNESS\\u2026I had a Viva SL 90 in my younger days and it was the WORST car I ever had\\u2026by far\\u2026the differential went west\\u2026the front suspension was replaced\\u2026I replaced the clutch..and eventually replaced the ENGINE\\u2026so I don\\u2019t think I will be in the market for another one\\u2026.the second worst car was a VW Golf\\u2026had it from new\\u2026heap of rubbish.\\n \\nThere is a move afoot to put young drivers on a four year curfew after they pass their test\\u2026. They wont be able to drive at certain times at night\\u2026.this will \\u201ccut down on accidents\\u201d\\u2026can\\u2019t see it\\u2026.since when did youngsters take any notice of anything\\u2026.let\\u2019s hope the police are up for it\\u2026.good idea but I don\\u2019t think so.\\n \\nOh dear\\u2026poor old Kate Middleton is in the news again\\u2026..someone took a picture of her with her skirt blowing up in the wind showing her bare backside\\u2026.it was printed in a German newspaper\\u2026.none of our papers\\u2026even the Daily Mail\\u2026didn\\u2019t put it in\\u2026.but only for legal reasons\\u2026.so the poor girl has been snapped topless and now semi bottomless (so to speak)\\u2026..why don\\u2019t they leave the poor girl alone. As there is very little of her I doubt whether there is much to see\\u2026.they should send Harry round with some of his mates to sort the reporter out\\n \\n\\nOn the showbiz scene One Direction have been in the news allegedly filming themselves smoking spliffs in a taxi\\u2026.I don\\u2019t know how this stuff gets into the public domain but it\\u2019s not good\\u2026even though they must be bored senseless with each other they are up there as an example to the youngsters\\u2026.this isn\\u2019t a very good one\\u2026..I\\u2019ll give then 12 months tops.\\nI was also sad to hear that Bert Weedon died in 2012\\u2026I\\u2019ve just found out\\u2026.he was the one who taught us all to play guitar back in the 50\\u2019s\\u2026I always thought he should have been knighted\\u2026but then again he hasn\\u2019t got the raw talent of Sir Terry Wogan.'
