Fit for a King!
Hyde Bank Farm dates back to the seventeenth century and has had a wealth of important historical figures living there over the years.
FARMERS MILKED FOR ALL THEIR WORTH!
This is a further blow to farmers in the area who are struggling to keep profits up and must open their barn doors to the public in order to survive.
Like many dairy farms in the area, Hyde Bank once got its main income from a milk round, but due to the emergence of supermarkets there is now a lack of demand for locally produced milk.

Holly makes a boob!!
The 'offending' dress is shown in the picture on the right and has caused outcry all over England. Although her boobs are clearly well settled in the dress, many viewers were worried they might escape!
Newspaper blogs such as The Daily Mail and The Sun contained comments from parents who felt uncomfortable watching the show with their children!!
One comment, published by "Sunfly" on the Sun's entertainment blog, read "MORE BIMBO`S AND CRAP ON OUR SMALL SCREENS!!"
Interesting comment from a reader of the Sun!!
Even when Holly donned a black dress the following week which completely covered her chest, she still outraged viewers when they realised it was backless. Apparently her bum was now in danger of revealing itself!
The show is full of short and barely there dresses worn by the skating contestants, with Holly ironically being one of the most covered up women on Dancing on Ice!!!

Nice to see you, to see you….nice!!!
One of televisions most popular entertainers celebrated his 80th birthday yesterday! Brucie bonus!!
Star of such well-known programmes as Play Your Cards Right, Generation Game and most recently Strictly Come Dancing, Bruce Forsyth is still going strong at the grand old age of 80!
The media have paid tribute to his career in showbiz, with Natasha Kaplinsky featuring Brucie on Five News.
Best known for his catchphrases, Bruce Forsyth is somewhat of a British institution.
Forsyth is one of those characters you either love or detest! His performances are textbook and his jokes as obvious as you can get, but something has kept him at the top for the last 50 odd years! He has split the opinion of the nation, with some finding him repulsive and others regarding him as a living legend!
One story by Lorna Cooper describes how some bloggers turned against Bruce after the latest Strictly Come Dancing series, believing him to be “past it”.
Whatever your opinion of him, you cannot deny that the man has done well for himself over the decades!
Happy Birthday Brucie!!!

BAFTA's
With Jonathon Ross presenting, the ceremony was bound to be littered with mockery and jokes and we were not disappointed.
Atonement only managed to win two of the 14 categories it was nominated for, but scooped the coveted “Best Film” award making it the big winner of the evening.
To the audience’s delight, Shane Meadows received the “Best British Film” award for “This is England”, a film partly based on his own life. His speech also went down a treat, with his “man-boobs” joke bringing the ceremony back down to earth.
Surprise winner of the “Best Actress” award, for her performance in French film, “La Vie En Rose”, was Marion Cotillard. Equally unexpected was the prize for “Best Supporting Actress” going to “Michael Clayton” star Tilda Swinton.
It proved to be a good night for subtitled films, with “La Vie En Rose” winning four awards and German drama, “The Lives Of Others”, winning “Best Film not in the English Language”.
“Best Actor” was always going to be awarded to Daniel Day-Lewis for his role in the recently released film, “There Will Be Blood” and he accepted his award in his usual humble form.
Anthony Hopkins deservedly received the Academy fellowship for his work.
In all, it was an enjoyable evening, with the usual glitz and glamour and the odd star who seemed to take the ceremony too seriously or failed miserably at reading the auto-cue without making it obvious they were doing so!
“Best acceptance speech” award would definitely have to go to Shane Meadows for being genuine and good-natured.
