Grand designs of the Earl of Fair Dinkum

Article Abstract:

The sixth earl and owner of the 3,500-acre estate at Henham, Suffolk, England, Keith Rous, returned from Australia when he inherited the estate in 1983. He emigrated in 1963 to escape his family and accumulated wealth through land speculation. He intends to regenerate the estate. He has created a lake by locating 180 underground streams, so finding the possibility for irrigation. He plans franchising schemes which would employ 100 people. He commutes between Suffolk and his Victoria farm.

A couple of fair-dinkum stirrers

Article Abstract:

It is extremely funny when somebody relentlessly pursues an idea, according to comedians John Doyle and Greig Pickhaver, who make up the double act Roy and HG. They have become extremely popular in their native Australia, and are now set to establish a presence in the UK through the television show 'Planet Norwich.' They feel that their success is partly attributable to the fact that they still amuse each other, even though they have been working together for many years.

This little piggy will go to market in style

Article Abstract:

Pig behaviour expert Professor Peter Brooks works in Plymouth University's agricultural department. He discovered that sows produce more piglets if they eat more on the day they are mated. He believes pig production can be humane. Plymouth University investigates animal welfare. Before intensive farming, pigs survived in the wild eating nature's waste. They could use man-made waste such as brewing by-products.
