The star's petrified he'll catch it. Ozzy Osbourne says he worries about catching bird flu. The singer says he will probably be the first person in the UK to catch the disease because he is so unlucky. Speaking on BBC Radio 2 he said: "I don't smoke, drink or take drugs anymore. But knowing my luck, a bird will c**p on me and I'll get bird flu on the way home."

Say goodbye to using the lift, forget munching biscuits at business meetings and don't even think about nipping out of the office for a pub lunch. Instead get ready for a new era of lunchtime walks, offering clients sliced apple and having a spot of massage at your desk to relieve stress. These are some of the changes to the habits of Britain's 30 million employees that the Government hopes will ...

But four cases have been dismissed because of road sign problems. Those previously convicted may get fines returned and licence points erased. The Devon and Cornwall Safety Camera Partnership, which runs the cameras, says it is ...

Besides Dog crap there is also chewing gum.Instead of leaving it on the bedpost over night, chewers leave little scrumpled balls of it wherever you look. It then gets splatted flat into the ground by somebody's shoe.It takes 5 years to break down on its own apparently. Filth, utter filth. I would like to chase after the culprits with their bit of gum and say 'Hey, yours I believe' and pat them on ...

Not sure there is one. If you've ever watched TV's Rogue Traders then you'll probably never get any work done by a builder.Mind you, they call themselves Property Renovators or Property Maintenance now.Not plain builders.(Even the most basic jobs now have a posh title to accompany it). Best way is to ask others who have had work done and are happy with it.Ask the company if they have any letters ...

The team Of The Week Award must go to Dawlish Ladies - they beat Honiton Hornets with only EIGHT players! The Channel Division 2B leaders forced captain Claire Chudley to do some hard thinking, as she tried to work out a formation that would give her side a chance even three players short. With the accent on defence and with only two players committed forward, Dawlish soaked up Honiton's pressure ...

One of the lads, aged 15, was injured as he was ordered to hand over his £250 silver Samsung E800 mobile phone in Barton Lane just before 8pm.

My ancester, a sister of George Eli Newman, married a McKeoun boy, I suppose at the turn of the century. The Mckeoun brothers boxed in the ring at Anderton & Rowlands Fair, now Rowlands Fair. Has anyone information on this. I am not sure of the spelling of McKeoun, it could be McKewan. My ancester helped sell tickets on the tombola. That's all I have. Thanks

Does anyone know a reliable builder in Dawlish, who will do small alterations? We have tried leaving phone messages to various builders but very few even have the courtesy to reply. Others come to quote, but the quote never arrives.

Apologies! I thought Rumpelstiltskin was a fable character who slept for one hundred years.That's why I quoted him in my posting, because it had been months since I had written. Wrong! Rumpelstiltskin did nothing like that. I will now go back to my deep sleep.

You proably have all seen in the 'Dawlish News' on the back page ..Somerfield ends next year. This will please many I guess who have disliked the shop so much ..the paper mentions it being possibly an Electrical store?. I did notice that the paper says it is the only Supermarket here, there is 'Cost Cutters' with larger floor space than Somerfield and they are open until 10pm everyday. I don't ...

Sir/Madam I am wondering if you have any archive record of any e.mail you may have recieved from an American seeking any information about a dancer from Dawlish, which would have been sent approximately 4-5 years ago and was displayed on the Dawlish Noticeboard. I mistakenly deleted it. If you yourself do not have the message, perhaps readers of your noticeboard may still have a copy. If so I ...

My instincts tell me, that is a lot. Dawlish is really nice, but come on. The developer is taking all the profit upside off the table, and more besides. People buying must have balls of granite.

To Jambar. (I'm from the guest book.) In my opinion you are a damn lucky fellow if you have the opportunity to re-locate to Dawlish/South Devon.My advice to you is just do it! I live in a crap southern town and my wife and I would love to move to Dawlish but finances and work prevent this at the moment. We console ourselves by holidaying in Dawlish twice a year and hoping that when our daughter ...
