Well here we are again, another brand new
year on the doorstep. So get out and do something with it before somebody
goes and mucks it up for you.
Two thousand and four eh! And what are we going to do with it? Well
the first thing you could do is to make sure that you have your Pantomime
tickets. There's a bit of deja-vu (all over again) for me with this
panto. The Character of Pinocchio
is being played by Beth Mayhew, (And rather well I think.) and I play
her father. Fifteen years ago, in Wickhambrook's very first Panto
the lead character Aladdin, was played by Beth's Mum Julie, and I
played her wicked uncle. What does that say eh! (Probably that the
readers have been putting up with your ugly mug on the stage fourteen
years too many. Er-indoors). Well, apart from the fact I'm getting
old it also means that the memory is going. I can still remember my
very first line from the panto of fifteen years ago but not a blessed
one from this latest production and time is running short.
The other big news for the village is that we now have our own official
website. Designed by Mdsign
for the Parish Council it puts our little village on the world wide
web, which for those who are not in the know means that anyone with
a computer anywhere in the world can log on to the website and read
about us. (Or so I'm told.). I mean, don't ask me I'm still doing
the basic course in computing run by the West Suffolk College. For
anyone interested courses are being held in Bury, Sudbury, Haverhill,
Newmarket and several other venues locally. It's free so you can't
complain at the price and you might as well get something for your
Council Tax. The name of the course is e-Quals, and if you fancy doing
it give the West Suffolk College a ring. Anyway there is more about
the new website further in the magazine.
I notice that the new skateboard park is almost finished and I expect
to see the youngsters enjoying this facility very shortly, in fact
I expect skateboards were mentioned in more than one letter to Santa,
back in December. An awful lot of hard work went into raising money
for the Teen Project,
and those involved are to be congratulated.

The World's Biggest
Coffee Morning 2003
Thank You I would like to send a very big thank you to everyone who
attended and so generously supported my Coffee Morning last September.
The event was part of the Macmillan Cancer Relief's World's Biggest
Coffee Morning and was a wonderful success, a final total of £662
was raised for the charity. Our best effort yet thanks to you!

The Wit of Tommy Cooper R.I.P
Tommy Cooperisms... ...to brighten up the day.
"Doc I can't stop singing The Green, Green Grass of Home".
"
That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome."
"Is it common?"
"It's not unusual."
Marriage Seminar
While attending a marriage seminar on communication, Colin and his
wife listened to the instructor declare, "It is essential that
husbands and wives know things that are important to each other."
He addressed the men, "Can you describe your wife's favourite
flower?"
Colin leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and whispered, "Self-raising,
isn’t it?"
Ouch
A chap falls asleep on the beach for several hours and gets horribly
sunburnt. He goes to hospital and is promptly admitted after being
diagnosed with second degree burns. He was already starting to blister
and in agony. The doctor prescribed continuous intravenous feeding
with saline and electrolytes, a sedative and a Viagra pill every four
hours. The nurse, rather astounded, said, "What good will Viagra
do him?" The doctor replied, "It'll keep the sheets off
his legs."
