Dorset Championships results
2008-06-08 11:36:00 We made it to Dorset after a VERY late submission of our entry forms. It's quite a drive from where we live, and my wife decided to use that excuse to take the whole family down to stay in a hotel which meant we were better rested before arriving for weigh in on the Sunday. The competition was as big as I'd expected - there were something like 300 competitors there and the place was packed out. The competition was confined to a single large hall, but the sports centre had people wandering around in Doboks & sparring gear just about everywhere you turned.James didn't fare very well at this one unfortunately - he seemed to be phased by the size of his opponent who was a fair bit bigger than him. He also seems to have a bad habit of looking at the scoreboard, or at me throughout the round. Had some harsh words with him about that! He lost by a single point, and I'm sure we can get a better performance next time from him.I fared slightly better winning my first bout with a techn...

He's got more information about this event on his Taekwondo Site.See you there!
Dorset Naga Pepper
2008-04-30 01:33:00 The Dorset Naga pepper is a cultivar grown in Dorset, England that is believed to be related to the Naga Jolokia pepper. Some claim it is even hotter than the Naga Jolokia or Bhut Jolokia, which holds the current Guinness Book of World records title of hottest pepper in the world. It's difficult to determine which one is hotter because the results of testing on the Scoville scale depend on different things such as the soil the peppers were grown in and the testing method used. The Dorset Naga has scored in a range between 900,000 and 1,600,000 HU. The people responsible for brining this new cultivar to the world are Michael and Joy Michaud, owners of Peppers by Post, a mail order pepper company based in West Dorset. They developed it over several years using a selection process from varying seeds of the Naga Morich, a Bangladeshi pepper that is popular in Britain among the Bangladeshi population. The Dorset Naga is a small, red, wedge-shaped pepper much like the Naga Jolok...

Advice on the first frost in Dorset
2007-12-11 09:35:00 Advice on first frost in DorsetClean the chimneys and light the fires.Feed the animals and family.Snuggle in with a bedfellow,Sooner rather than later. STOP!But stop a moment, before all that, go and see The Snow Queen.A few weeks ago before I was distracted in London, my wife was given two tickets for the Ballet as a special birthday present.The Snow Queen is Michael Corder's third new work for English National Ballet. Using one of Conrad’s emphatic words “bloody” good it was too.Things I applauded:The standard of dancingThe costumesThe set, lighting and visual effectsThe music arranged by Julian Philips from various sources by Prokofieva great orchestra.No detailed analysis, just go to see and hear it. I recommend you choose a seat where you can look down on the stage. The reason will become evident if you do, you will miss something if you ignore this advice! Great night out for all ages.Next post will be in defence of Millais after I have been to see it Conrad.

Dorset Village takes on Gordon Brown for a Referendum on the EU Treaty.
2007-09-20 08:13:00 The village of East Stoke in Dorset is leading the way in the public's fight to get the referendum on the EU Treaty that Gordon Brown's party promised in their election manifesto. "The mouse that roared" village is holding a vote Today on whether there should be a referendum on the EU treaty by exploiting a little-known loophole in the law.Organiser Darren Patterson, said: "We hope that from small acorns, huge oaks will grow. I have been inundated with people from surrounding villages wanting to know how we have done it. The village may be tiny but the support is massive." It looks like the people are starting to let Gordon and his cronies know that they will not be walked over. Local resident Peter Roe, 81, said: "This country has pretty much stood on its own for thousands of years. Why should we jeopardise that? I am dead against this Europe thing. Tyranny has affected Europe all through the centuries. Who has stopped them? We have, this island in the silver sea. East Stoke is a...
