Well done Dani Pedrosa!!!! I'm a Rossi fan but even i feel for Nicky Hayden. Pedrosa takes out Hayden! Hayden and Pedrosa, Spanish MotoGP, 2006 Dani Pedrosa has made one of the biggest mistakes ever seen in modern motorcycle grand prix racing - smashing into team-mate Nicky Hayden early in the Portuguese Grand Prix and destroying the American's world championship lead.

Hayden was third at the time of the accident, which occurred when Pedrosa lost the front of his Repsol Honda while trying to re-pas…

British scientists bring back ancient cure to treat wounds By Eleanor Mayne Last updated at 21:01pm on 14th October 2006 Magic maggots to treat wounds An ancient medical method is making a comeback - scientists are using fluids extracted from maggots to treat wounds. For centuries, fly larvae were used to clean damaged flesh by civilisations all over the world, including the Mayans, Burmese hill tribes and Australian aborigines. The practice was based on the worms' propensity for feeding on dead tissue while leaving healthy skin intact. Now British scientists are reintroducing the use of maggots to mainstream medicine. But those horrifi…

Until recently I had no idea what The Rat Pack was. I heard my brother listening to them and thought he was watching some weird movie from the 50’s. They are such Cliché’ entertainers like something you’d see in ‘Chicago’…except funnier. For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, The Rat Pack was the nickname given to a group of famous entertainers most active between the mid-1950s and mid-1960s featuring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop who always used to perform together. I think there are new Rat Packs – Matt Damon, Brad Pitt & Ben Affleck and Luke & Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn because those gr…

Harry Potter author tops list of writers Americans most want banned Book ban: there were more than 3000 attempts to remove JK Rowling's books from schools and public libraries On these shores she is the writer who waved a magic wand and turned millions of computer-obsessed youngsters into bookworms.

The author is now number one on the list of writers Americans want to ban. The multi-millionaire mother of three's tales about the boy wizard have been interpreted by some as an attempt to promote the occ…

Pupils can now gain top GCSEs in English without reading a whole book by SARAH HARRIS Last updated at 16:31pm on 13th October 2006 Pupils can achieve A*s in English literature GCSEs and top marks in national curriculum tests without actually reading a whole book, a new report has revealed.

But literacy experts claim that the growing trend is resulting in …

Council spends £10,000 to discover who 'baaed' at meeting Last updated at 13:36pm on 13th October 2006 Woolly thinking? A councillor made farm noises during a meeting Council bosses have spent £10,000 in a bid to establish who baaed like a sheep during a planning meeting. Havering council, based at Romford, Essex, has forked out the sum over the last 12 months on a 300-page report into the bizarre incident. But the chief suspect is no longer a councillor and therefore cannot be punished. A council insider said today: "This is absolute madness. We've wasted a load of money and a lot of time on a councillor who baaed like a sheep - and we've g…
