Coronation Street Christmas Spoilers 2013
In this week's fab double issue of Inside Soap magazine there are the following teasers for Coronation Street Christmas storylines.
There's a glimmer of hope for Kylie and David to get back together but not before Kylie causes mayhem for the Platts. Kylie sulks off in a drunk, emotional state and David finds her by the canal on Christmas Eve where they have a heart-to-heart, but will they get back together?
Carla has shock news for Peter! Inside Soap says: "Peter's absolutely stunend by Carla's shock news and it has huge implications for their relationship." Meanwhile, Peter and Tina continue to flirt and Tina throws herself at Rob to make Peter jealous (and Tracy livid, I hope!).
Nick loses it completely at the Platt's Christmas dinner and slaps Leanne in a vicious rage beside the sprouts.
Steve's school mate Andrea sets her cap at Lloyd and gives him the glad eye.
Steve's in the dog house when he buys Michelle a ridiculous gift.
Sophie bonds with a homeless girl called Maddie - but could her new pal end up being bad news?
And of course, it'll be Hayley's last Christmas. Tissues at the ready, folks.

I don't know why David would even want Kylie back, considering she's proven to be an ungrateful, untrustworthy bitch who stole everything he had. Basically she's like another Leanne.
He should want to be able to see his kids, but that's it. Let Kylie and Nick get together (she will eventually to rub it in David's face, for sure), because they're actually well-suited for each other.

Please dont it be the OLD CHESTNUT that Carla is pregnant????????? Unplanned pregnancies have been done to death on soaps.
Looking forward to Leanne getting a Slap on christmas day!!
- 3 December 2013 at 14:10
I agree with the comments regarding David and Kylie. Who the hell is she to take the moral high ground! At the end of the day she slept with her brother-in-law yet Nick and Kylie act like the innocents. As much as I detest David he is a loving father and has every right to see the kids.

Of course Maddie is going to be bad news. Standard Issue stuff. Kind of glad that this Andrea isn't going to be a bunny boiler and chasing Steve or vice versa. Sounds like she really is just a mate for him.

David deserves everything he gets he did it to himself

Enter: Matt and Roman into Soi 17. Soi translates as street, but definitely not the type of street that you are thinking about. In the slums, "street" can mean as little as a 3-4 foot wide concrete walkway raised precariously over the trash swamp. Knowing that our host grandpa is crippled and has a wheelchair, the first thought that crosses my mind is, "This rickety walkway is definitely not ADA compliant. I really hope I don't drop grandpa into the swamp." As we step into the soi, a second thought cro
Everyone in Thailand wants to be white. The Photoshopped models all have white skin, commercials on TV advertise "extra whitening" skin treatments. Girls with beautiful bronze skin think they are ugly. Well, I am a genuine #nofilter white person and let me tell you, light skin is not all that it's cracked up to be. I'm on a team with five other people. All Asian. When I was first introduced to my team I honestly did not think much of the race factor. "I have plenty of Asian friends, sabai sabai (it's fine, it's fine)," I thought.
"I'll give you 50 baht to eat this," I say to my teammate, Steven, as I wag a crusty slice of foot skin, freshly picked from my new calluses. The amount of calluses and punctured skin on my soles has taken an extraordinary spike thanks to our nightly barefoot football matches with the community children.
My teammate, Beth, and I share a room with one of our hosts, Sohm. She is 17 years old and loves rugby and singing. During the first few days on our site, I felt awkward with my limited Thai and slow adapting of a new culture. I wanted to connect with her beyond formal greetings, but wasn't sure how or even where to begin. It felt like we were worlds apart. An unexpected opportunity arose one evening just before we were about to go to bed.
In some ways, the last 10 days since mid trek retreat have felt like us starting all over again on the Trek. We moved to a new community, a new host family, and have begun to work in Conexion Mosaico's summer courses. It has been such an incredible time here in San Sebastian; we've had good days, we've had days where we've struggled, but in all, we are continuing along this Trek adventure.
There's a saying here in Mexico about Mexican and Japanese crabs. There's two pales; one with Mexican crabs, and the other with Japanese crabs. The Japanese crabs work together, and together they escape the pale. On the other hand, the Mexican crabs fight and pull each other down. Eventually, they resign, defeated and distant from each other, still in the pale.
"Sabai Sabai" is the motto here in Thailand. Directly translated it means "chill chill." Basically, "sabai sabai" is an all purpose phrase synonymous with "It's all good!" For example, if you're running a little late, it's "sabai sabai" – no big deal. This past week, our team encountered injustices here in Bangkok at which Thai culture shrugs its shoulders and says, "Sabai sabai." But, our hearts break and we want to see change.
This past week was full of so many new things for those of us in Khlong Toey. We went from Khlong Toey to the Red Light District to caring for Yai to this past weekend for our mid-project retreat at the beach. It was a huge contrast. I asked the members of my team what their thoughts were between these contrasting realities in one society. Here is what they said:
It has already been about 3 weeks since we've arrived at our site. Daniel, Matt, and I have been placed at Phra-praedeng, a slum community for leprosy patients. The community has been generous with their love in welcoming us to Phra-praedaeng, but the presence of poverty is still strong here. Most of the buildings are built over swamps and open sewage. Stray dogs and cats roam the streets. Broken families, alcohol and drug abuse, as well as gambling are strongholds in this community.
You are the man in the yellow shirt at the metro station. You are the man in the yellow shirt who made me stop and look twice. What a rarity that is in a city like this where there is too much to do and too much chaos to stop and look. I thought you were dead. But you were alive. Your heart was still beating. Your lungs still inhaling and exhaling the same air I breathe.

We stayed in Falcon Rest unit for a week and were pleasantly surprised. It was comfortable and well situated.The kitchen is small but sufficient for when you are on holiday. The jacuzzi is still not working but we visited in winter so didn't miss it.Very happy with our stay and would visit again.
We really enjoyed our stay. Quiet surroundings. Will recommend this place.
Accommodation is below living standard.Advert does not match real picture
In need of a good clean and upgrade photos deceiving. The kettle, light switches, plug switches had dirt and grime, TV screen thick smears, shower carpets looked dirty, needed to be replaced. broken floor tiles under carpet, cushions on outside chairs torn with stuffing hanging out. Outside seating green with moss, when asked if we could put Jacuzzi on told not working, no hairdryer. I apologise to our overseas visitors I took there. Will not make a booking online again.
We had a wonderful stay.Only problem was the hot water. It was warm not hot.

'Problem' Christchurch bar shut down
Relevant offers
A Christchurch bar will be shut down after a young woman who smuggled in a bottle of tequila became so intoxicated she vomited in front of a police officer.
Richey Bar, a nightclub and karaoke bar on Riccarton Rd, has been ordered to close by the New Zealand Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority.
Judge John Hole ordered the bar to shut at midnight on August 30, allowing time for owner Yang Zhang to work through the closure with his employees.
In a written decision released earlier this month, Hole described the bar as ''one of Christchurch's significant problem premises''.
Police had called for the bar to lose its liquor licence due to multiple cases of intoxication on the premises, including an incident where a young woman had smuggled a bottle of tequila into the bar.
The woman became so intoxicated she vomited in front of the bar's duty manager and a police officer.
Owners and tenants of neighbouring businesses also complained about the amount of vandalism, rubbish and vomit which needed to be cleaned up most mornings after the premises had been open. They noted the problems disappeared while the bar was closed for renovations in March.
Zhang said he cleaned up the car park when the bar closed each day, but neighbouring businesses said his efforts were inadequate.
A Christchurch District Licensing inspector also raised issues about food, training and security staff failing to display their Certificates of Approval on several occasions.
She told the authority that if the licensee could not get the small things right then it was unlikely to get the big things right.
Judge Hole said Zhang had little or no experience of the licensed industry and had demonstrated his deficiencies by overruling his general manager to allow intoxicated people into the premises.

Brooklyn Nets Should Keep Marcus Thornton
The Brooklyn Nets fear losing Shaun Livingston this summer to free agency. Although Livingston has said he'd love to stay in Brooklyn, the Nets are limited in the amount of money they are allowed to offer him. They are only allowed to pay him the tax payer's mid-level exception which is a three-year, $10 million deal.
The Nets are exploring all options to get a backup point guard in case Livingston does leave. One option they've looked at is a trade centered on Marcus Thornton in order to acquire PG Jarrett Jack of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
It would be a bad idea for the Nets to go after Jack because of what Thornton brings to the table. Thornton is known as the "Bayou Bomber" because he likes to take a lot of shots and tends to go on hot streaks.
At times last season after he was traded to the Nets he scored 20+ multiple times and carried the Nets to victory. He is a dynamo who can go off at any time and can shoot very well from deep. The Nets have him in the perfect role as lightning off the bench.
He struggled some in the playoffs last season but that was his first action in the playoffs of his career. He has always been stuck in situations where the teams he was on simply weren't competitive enough.
Playing on a team full of veterans is perfect for him. They can keep him in check and make sure he doesn't get out of hand with his chucker mentality.
With Jack, sure he brings stability off the bench, and is arguably the best backup point guard in the league, but he doesn't have the microwave factor that Thornton brings. Jack does have a tendency to come up big during the biggest moments of the game, but not as well as Thornton.
Also the contract situation. The Nets are looking to be players in the 2016 free agency market, Jack will eat into that cap space the Nets will have, whereas Thornton comes off the books at the end of next season.
Keeping Thornton would be best for the Nets. The way he can score the ball, especially off the bench against other team's second units, he'd be a candidate for the sixth man of the year award. Thornton is a must-keep if you're the Nets.

The two local boys put on an impressive show today. Sepp Bruhwiler made it into the round of the round of 24 as well as Peter Devries, his form today being reminiscent of his victory last year.
But former World Tour competitor Kekoa Bacalso (HAW) as well as CWC Tasmania winner and current frontrunner in the CWC Series rankings, Stuart Kennedy (AUS) are already out of the competition! Joining them was another former World Tour surfer, Tim Reyes (USA), as well as Yadin Nicol (AUS), Dion Atkinson (NZL), Tim Curren (USA) and 2009 CWC California runner up Heath Joske (AUS)!
Tomorrow all eyes will be on Shaun Cansdell (AUS). Shaun is the only surfer in the top 5 of the CWC Series rankings left in this competition and will be looking to make his mark and move towards that $50,000 prize money.

ORANGE - A man the police in Orange call a person of interest in a woman's disappearance has been arrested in Tennessee.
Investigators in Orange tell KFDM News they passed along information to authorities in Tennessee that Joshua Latham, 26, of Orange, has relatives in Maryville, Tennessee and he might be in the state. Detectives contacted law enforcement there to check a residence and Thursday night they found Latham, along with his girlfriend and their two week old son.
A detective from Orange and a Texas Ranger are en route to Tennessee to interview Latham about Tami Higginbotham.
Family members reported Higginbotham, 41, of Vinton, missing last Saturday. They say Higginbotham traveled from Vinton to Orange to meet Latham about buying a cell phone.
Police call Latham a person of interest in her disappearance. They questioned Latham and his girlfriend Monday.
Family members of the girlfriend say the woman called them explaining the police had questioned them.
They say, since that night, their phone calls have gone unanswered.
"It's scary not knowing what happened to Tami, but I'm concerned for Dusty and the baby," Frankie Bass, the woman's mother, told KFDM reporter Justin Hinton Thursday. "I mean, I love Joshua with all of my heart. I just wish they would come home, and if they know something they need to tell it."
Higginbotham's family is worried something bad has happened to their daughter.
"In our hearts, we hope. We hope we have a little glimpse of hope, but we don't think that she's alive anymore," Bill Mauldin, Tami Higginbotham's dad said.
For now, another couple is sharing in their grief.
Tina Glisson and Randy Faulkner reported their daughter missing in December.
She was last seen in the same gas station as Higginbotham. Several days later, she was found dead.
