Duncan leads gold rush

HESWALL archery ace Duncan Busby twice struck gold for England in the

Commonwealth Games.

Busby won the team compound gold and then followed it up with the individual title, to

claim Englands 600th gold in Commonwealth Games history.

The 26-year-old, who is a member of the Blackthorn Bowmens Club, said: It means

such a lot to me. England have taken all the medals in compound archery this time and

thats very important this close to an Olympics.

PLANS for a new Sainsburys store at the old Lookers car showroom on Pensby Road

lorries which they claim will be a danger to children crossing the road.

Home advantage gives you an advantage - Bobby Robson

AFTeR introducing you to a 1930

Austin 7, affctionatly known

as Vanssa in my last pic,

this tim w ar looking at a

vry diffrnt typ of car.

Our pictur this month is of

a gnuin Daimlr sports

car built in 1962 bfor

th luxury car makr was

takn ovr by Jaguar.Introduced in 1959 as

the Daimler Dart, the car

got off to a bad start when

Chrysler claimed they had

already registered the use of the

Dart name. The car was subsequently

called the Daimler Sport 250 which was then

abbreviated to SP250. SP for Sport and 250 for the

engine size of 2500cc.

A second snag soon appeared when it was discovered that the doors would mysteriouslyopen of their own accord during enthusiastic cornering manoeuvres. This was eventually

blamed on the chassis not having sufcient rigidity for the unusual breglass body and

was sorted for the following year.

However by now the company had been taken over by Jaguar who were just about to

introduce their rst E Type which was much more advanced than the Daimler. The SP250,

which was not proving to be a good seller, subsequently disappeared from the market

in 1964. Jaguar however knew a good engine when they saw one and hung on to the

beautiful 2500cc V8 motor, which had been specially designed for the SP250, and used it

in other cars.

The SP250 was quick in its day and had all round disc brakes to slow it down. The carswere successful and extensive in competition and although used by police for high speed

pursuit, they remained plagued by a reputation for poor quality. Hence only 1415 LHD

cars were built plus 1229 RHD models for export. Its rarity and unusual style are now

considered to enhance its dramatic appearance and appeal, making it a true and popular

icon of the sixties.

The car pictured here was rst bought by the Marquess of Hertford in 1962 and has been

owned by its current owner Peter Broadbent since the year 2000. Peter, who previously

had owned a Triumph Spitre, acquired the Daimler just after it had undergone a full

body-off restoration. He has found it to be a very reliable car; a joy and delight to own and

drive. Dave Evennett

Politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians - Charles de Gaulle

Fiction: Room Emma Donoghue

Narrated by 5 year old Jack whose mother was kidnapped before his birth and

incarcerated in a hidden room by her captor, this novel was inspired by the true story

of Natascha Kampusch, the Austrian girl who was held in solitary captivity for 8 years.

However, Room is not nearly as gruesome as it sounds- rather it is a touching and

often funny picture of maternal love in dire circumstances through the eyes of a little

boy who has never known anything different. When the mother and son are released

into the real world halfway through the novel, the reader is led to engage with

questions about the nature of true freedom. Shortlisted for this years Man Booker

Prize and in a compact little hardback, Room is unlike any other book Ive read.

Thoroughly recommended for reading groups.

Autobiography: The Fry Chronicles- Stephen Fry

When Stephen Fry arrived at Cambridge University he was

on probation: a convicted fraudster and thief, an addict, liar,

fantasist and failed suicide who appeared to have nothing

going for him. To his surprise he found love, friendship

and his rst major opportunities to entertain on-stage. It

was at Cambridge that he met Emma Thompson and Hugh

Laurie, and, after working out how to cheat the universityexam system, began to emerge as the amazingly talented

comic individual we all think we know so well today. In this

courageously frank, honest and poignant memoir Stephen

has recorded some of the most turbulent and least well

known years of his life. His autobiography will make you

laugh uproariously, move you, inform you and, above all, surprise you. Packed with

glossy colour photos taken through his life, this is an ideal Christmas present for his

fans.

Humour A Brief History of Tim (the world minus one letter)

- Kathy KlugstonRather than explaining our origins, A Brief History of Tim addresses our history and

culture at the level we most deeply desire the trivial. By simply removing one letter,

the world is tweaked, with immensely enjoyable results.

e.g. Im gonna make him an offer he cant re-use (Marlon Brando igniting the

debate about re-cycling), or O hello- (Desdemona isnt expecting Iago to pop round.)

And then theres Bet Blockers- (those pills prescribed for people with a gambling

problem) and The Empire Trikes Back- (Luke Skywalker is forced to ee Darth Vader

on a small three- wheeled bicycle.)

Get it? A brilliant little stocking ller- will keep you chuckling for ages.
