Peaches by the dozen
If it wasn't already the hottest ticket in town, it certainly is now. Kate Moss has given Punk - the small, but perfectly formed club in Soho Street - her seal of approval. She hired the whole place out for her epic, star-studded birthday bash on Wednesday night, but mere mortals can party there too. Fingers firmly on the pulse, six days before the Moss posse head down, we pay Punk a visit. As we arrive, Peaches Geldof is screeching orders into her mobile, "HURRY UP! You've gotta get down here by 9.30!" and swigging from a bottle of Veuve Clicquot. It's 8.55pm and we're just in time to make it in for free. We clatter gleefully downstairs and take up residence on velvet sofas in a roped-off section at the back. It's possibly a VIP section but no one seems to care, and we dispatch the boys to the bar for £12 bottles of house white wine.

A Labour governments main priority will be to adopt a zero tolerance policy towards corruption, abuse of power and conflict of interest, he said.
Ms Cini referred to a comment Investment, Industry and Information Technology Minister Austin Gatt passed recently about government project overruns and said that this statement not only gave carte blanche to public projects but also to private contractors.
Dr Sant replied with another statement often used by Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi nothing happens by coincidence.
As Dr Gonzi likes to say, nothing happens by coincidence these overruns are a clear result of bad planning, he said.
Incompetence is not a coincidence, added Dr Sant.
Ms Cini then turned the subject onto the environment and stated that in the Malta Environment and Planning Authority (Mepa), there is still a culture of people scratching each others backs for favours.

Comebacks, penalties part of ECHL stat revelations
Deeper in the statistical summaries from the league's first 131 hockey games in its 20th-anniversary season, though, were some gems that might have gone unnoticed. Like this David vs. Goliath match-up of coincidental roughing penalties on Nov. 2 -- Bakersfield's Justin Chwedoruk, all of 5-foot-9 and 170 pounds, gave up a few inches and pounds to Victoria's Kiel McLeod (6-6, 235). Or check out the plus-minus bonanza enjoyed by Reading defenseman Shawn Germain on Oct. 20. He clocked in at plus-6 in a 6-4 win at Johnstown. Talk about your statistical aberration -- Germain is a combined minus-1 in 12 other games. At least he's not Augusta's Eric Lundberg, the defenseman who authored a minus-5 in a 6-3 loss at Columbia on Nov. 2. To be fair, Lundberg is merely a combined minus-1 in nine other tilts.
