The front page story 'Gays in rush to wed' was a bit of a non story. Lancashire County Coucil wouldn't even say how many gay partnership ceremonies were booked at any venues in Hyndburn. It did however allow local rent a homophobic quote the Rev Kevin Logan, to come out with the usual drivel. This is the same man who used the Observer in the 80's to say that gays deserved to die, and that AIDS was God's punishment on them.

Nice touch though asking if any same sex couples want to be included on the wedding page.

Makes a change from another page of pussies.;)

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

I have never seen any cats on the wedding page.

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

Not on the wedding page!

It is the grand final of the pretty pussy competition though. I can hardly sleep with excitment.

Oswaldtwistle - something fishy going on at St Andrew's


I'm intrigued - what's this about?

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

Stop being so tight and go and buy a copy :rolleyes:

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

I get it delivered on a Friday morning.

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

Have now got my copy and I've noticed something's missing. Where is our good leader's stop smoking column - don't tell me he's succumbed to the wicked weed again? In fact, I've been through the paper a few times and I can't see his picture anywhere - something strange going on! lol

My Mum's in it though!

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

If he aint what is he up to? He is either ill or has decided that because its the festive season he is giving everyone a break.

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

There is a bit about them banning smoking in all HBC buildings

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

Suppose they will errect a covered shelter out the back for them. At work we have a room for smokers but new legislation that is due to come into force will put them outside.

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

What legislation is that?

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

If that was a let-down for you have a read at this:

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

That is horrific. Can you imagine the reaction of their grandchildren? Yuk! The simple fact is that this Civil Partnership Act amounts to no more than state-subsidised sodomy. Is it any wonder that there is no longer any respect for authority and anarchy prevails on the streets?

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

It might just be for Scotland Neil but all smoking will have to be outside buildings from 2007. They aint happy at my work about it because it will be in all weathers. Have seen places that use the bicycle shed setup and it is loathed. The smokers feel they are being punished for their habit. Dont see them lobbing the hangover brigade outside when the stale alcohol smell makes us feel sick (of which we have a few regulars).

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

:confused: Can lesbians commit sodomy?

Your obsessed with buggery man.

God knows what Freud would have made of you.

Well I do actually, he'd put it down to deep seated sexual confussion.;)

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

i believe there items that can be worn to permit this ;)

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

Oh yes, it's all coming back from when I managed Scotland's largest adult superstore.:)

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

realy ..?

and what did you manage to do with it exactly :confused:

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

Made sure that nice girls from Edinburgh weren't chaffed with their strap-ons.;)

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

Yes. DVD through your letterbox this evening mate :D

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

Thanks for the feedback on the civil partnership story.

It appears Lancashire County Council won't tell us who the couples are in order to protect their safety.

However, we will strive to cover the first ceremony in Accrington in the next couple of weeks.

Also, I was only following the boss's orders with speaking to the vicar.

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

Heheheh, this is what I've noticed in the last few weeks..

11/11/05 headline Eid parade 'terror chiefs' spark fury

25/11/05 headline Power cuts spark anger

9/12/05 headline Mum's death sparks probe..


There's a hell of a lot of sparking going on at the AO. Can you please come up with a different word for the headline this week? As fond as I am of Sparks, this is getting a little too repetitive...:D

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

Sparks better whatch hiself or he will get a name as a trouble maker. ;)

Re: In Friday's Accrington Observer (9 December)
 

Good point, actually..it does appear a little bit rusty using the same words.
