Missing sponge cake no bar to success Bundy boy takes the cake

Madeleine Doherty

Mystery and intrigue sur- rounded the 108th Tweed River Agricultural Show when one of the sponge cake entries suspiciously disappeared. For years, Peter Lloyd-Jones of Bundaberg has been suc- cessfully entering his cakes in the Tweed Show but this year there was a rat in the ranks. Pavilion steward Robin Ross said Mr Lloyd-Jones had used Australia Post’s Express Post service to send his six cakes to the show this year. But one sponge did not arrive. Mrs Ross was not impressed and was determined to get to the bottom of the missing sponge saying there would be an inquiry. Mr Lloyd-Jones said, ‘I sent Cakemaker Peter Lloyd-Jones.

FOOD MATTERS is a controversial new fi lm that uncovers the trillion dollar ‘sickness industry’. J oin the world’s leading authorities on nutrition and aff ordable! We stock organic 6;E4=4;4

1. A new series of the sitcom Scrubs is getting airings on Prime, albeit mainly late at night and in several diff erent time slots during the week. The chopping and changing of scheduled programs at the last minute has become so rife that even this TV Guide has little confi dence that what we print on Thursday will still be accurate by the end of the week. Seven and Nine in particular reschedule without warning, trying to get a jump on each other. Advertisers presumably drive this hair-trigger reac- tion to ratings, but the channels might try thinking of viewers rather than advertisers. Sure, the ads pay for free-to-air TV, but if the content gets so unreliable that viewers give up watching and buy DVDs or download their favourite shows from the web then the channels will be busted anyway. 2. Fred Zinneman’s fi lm of Robert Bolt’s superlative play A Man For All Seasons is the standout movie of the week (ABC2, 1 2 Saturday 8.30pm). Paul Schofi eld plays Sir Thomas More.
