Holly, who it has to be admitted would look good wearing a bin liner, wore a dress with a neckline that plunged more than the FTSE 100 last Monday.

It has sent the fashion editors of the national newspapers into a frenzy with double page spreads of famous women displaying flesh in either the right or wrong way.

Helpfully, these pictures are marked with a large and colourful tick or cross depending on whether the alleged expert approves or not.

These are actually quite useful as it saves you having to read the story that goes with the pictures, which is bound to include various cringeworthy puns about booby prizes and uplifting moments (stop tittering at the back).

In fact in true Blue Peter style I'm thinking of making myself a large tick and cross for use at home. Then, when My Special Friend wanders in front of the telly when the football's on and demands to know what I think about her new dress, I can just hold one of the signs up.

Anyway when it comes to cleavages, or anything else for that matter, I say if you've got it, flaunt it. Middle aged men with beer bellies should disregard this advice. (Dead right – MSF).

Why I'm not parking mad any longer
Finally action is being taken to stop cars entering the pedestrian area at Long Causeway and parking there and in Cathedral Square and Church Street.

I'm feeling in a charitable mood, so I won't carp on about the ridiculous time (and very serious incident which left three people badly injured) it has taken to get some action, and just say "better late than never''.

I was surprised though by claims that, because traffic wardens are set to be given powers to issue tickets in the area, it will free up police to concentrate on more serious crimes.

As until the last few weeks, there were more sightings of the Beast of Castor than of a cop in Cathedral Square, I can only assume all the policemen handing out tickets must have been in plain clothes.

Lego kept me happy
nlego is celebrating it's half century this year. I loved Lego when I was a lad – I think there's still a box of it in my mum's loft. Mind you, I don't remember building anything as grand as this dinosaur.

Come to think of it the only thing I built was walls. I'm sure a child psychologist could have a field day with that!

Still I was a happy kid and I had all I needed – my box of Lego, a football, my Chopper bike and a fleet of Matchbox cars.

Somehow, I don't think that would be enough to keep kids happy today.

A Lotto good ideas on how to spend £10,000
the ward I live in was the only one in the city that didn't spend any of the £10,000 made available by the city council. One of my elected councillors, who choose how the money is spent, made some lame excuse about the system being too complicated. Well, other councillors obviously managed to get to grips with the system and spent the dosh.

I could have spent it for them.
