Formby
Fire Station received a call from concerned people that fire had
started on the Gipsy Caravan site. The Fire was giving out
plumes
of thick smoke that could be seen from the Ince-Woods on the
Formby Bypass and from Southport.
Road
Closed in Formby.
Drivers
are being held up for the next three weeks in Formby as resurfacing
work is carried out on the Bridge. Any one who is going to cross the
railway in Formby should allow plenty of time. Other work
in Formby is also causing problems as new water pipes are still being laid.
A Chopper from Summerset
landed on the beach on Wednesday. This chopper used the landing
strip, that this year has been closed to planes due to the bad
surface.
"This is now an ideal landing spot" said the
chopper pilot who was fending off a parking warden.
One of the business
men said "Landing on the beach is great. It gets us
close to the town and cuts out travel time. I think it is a
great bonus for Southport to be able to land choppers on the
beach."
Happy
Birthday!
It's Birthday time, Andrew
Aston from Southport. Just 30, with love from your Girl Jenny
Hogton.

review:- Rush Hour
2.
A real good marshal arts film that
takes the mickey out of the Americans. Directed by Brett
Ratner,
this is yet another funny and
well constructed film. The only down side is the annoying scripting
of Det. James Carter, LAPD played by Chris Tucker makes the creator too much like Axel Folly in
Beverly Hills Cop. Chris Tucker cannot deliver that type of stylized
acting, so it adds to the problem. The film starts with
James Carter on holiday and ends in
about the same mood with the joint star of the film Detective Inspector
Lee played by Jackie Chan. With high kicks flying and fists pounding, the two try to stop a Triad
Gang from distributing counterfeit US Dollars with an over the top, tongue
in
cheek plot. You have to like Jacky Chan films to appreciate this one
to the full, except that it is not of the same standard as Jacky Chan. Otherwise this film
is well worth seeing.
Cast, well voices overview, first credits
only:- Jackie Chan as Detective Inspector Lee, Chris Tucker as Det.
James Carter, LAPD, Chris Penn as Clive, Don Cheadle, John Lone as Ricky
Tan, Ziyi Zhang as Hu Li, alan King as Steven Reign and stephen Stable.
