Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

What you have just said has absolutely nothing to do with what I commented on about a leaflet distribution service posting for the Labour candidate. Has it? So your comment was pretty useless really. Or was it just a little dig asin licking Gayle's ar*e?

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Well I feel that a Conservative government is completly different to a council, same for any of the other parties...

I'd vote for the Conservatives because I believe in core conservative principles like helping people help themselves..
My teacher is left wing. I doubt he would ever recommend that I vote Conservative :p

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

So Cyfr a conservative Gov would encourage the dole couchers to get a job?

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I don't believe Cameron has mentioned anything specific about things like that yet, although I would certainly hope he will do before the election :).

But.. I don't believe in making the state sector bigger to solve unemployment as I see the state mainly as a burden, the economy should be allowed to thrive privatly and then companies might once again want to build their offices in this country!

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Cameron hasn't mentioned anything specific about anything yet!

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Well making specific promises on say the the economy such as 'x amount of tax cuts' would be kinda silly since its 2006 and not 2009/10..

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Well he better find an answer soon because 14 months from now Scotland goes to the polls for the purpose of filling the folly in Auld Reekie. As conservaties are getting as rare as rocking horse dung he better get his finger out and give them something to work to or they will become a big a myth as Nessie! As tax is still in the hands of Westminster weavels it will be an issue up here and if by some fluke minor miricle or even a bit of skulldugary DC gets what then?

JM could run the show up here with the weavels down there and the outcome would be the same as The Pres. of the USA being of one party the 2 houses of congress being of the other. The verbal fireworks might be the most intresting thing. Maybe PB could get the job of running the campaign here to give us all a laugh.

DAILY RECORD headline; A rare sighting of a Conservative polotition was reported today in the west end of Edinburgh. Police have put a 24 hour gaurd on this very rare creature for its own safety and insist at the first oppotunity will be resettled back in the south of England. Though it is a rarity officials decided to rehome it down south for its own mental welbeing and support from its own kind. A cage was considered to be unlikely to allow its survival and as its nervouse it might not appreciate some glakit galloot from the public staring at it.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I disagree. If the Conservative party want to build support over the coming years until the next election then they have to tell us what they would do that is different from the current regime. You can't just wishy washily say, well, we'll do it differently!

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Well they've told us lots about what they're going to do, just no actual figures on things, because it would be unrealistic to make a figure now, in my personal opinion. The economy, or whatever, the figure is based upon, could be different when the general election comes round so it wouldn't be wise to have to u-turn on policy..

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

They haven't told us what they plan to do they've just used genera phrases like 'improve the NHS' etc - they haven't said how. Cameron spent six minutes speaking after the budget and he didn't say one solid thing - all he did was using ridiculous phrases about Gordon Brown, who is now 'an analogue chancellor in the digital age'. What has that got to do with the budget?

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

He didnt have the guts to say that GB needs a reality check. Either that or his own ideas are way to radical for Joe Public to digest. :s_sick:

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Wants to share proceeds of growth between tax cuts and public services
Public services paid by the state don't have to be run by the state
Fight for fair trade, increase international aid, and press for further debt releif.

The opposition are there to scrutinise the government... wasn't be just saying that brown is stuck in the past as a tax and spend chancellor with his 'an analogue chancellor in the digital age'?

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I lick only myself.:)

Your pettiness in another thread did seem relevant to your comment.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

That's strange, in a recent thread you said that you "didn't want to get drawn on national issues." and you also said that you "needed to focus on local issues". Seems to me that you only want to get involved in national politics when it suits.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Touche, yes I kind of got sucked in to this one without really wanting to. :D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

OK, Gayle, I'll let you off. Perhaps you were still recovering from your "green" experience? :)

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Thank you!

Yes, it's not easy being green, being the colour of the trees!

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

What sad people - Peter Britcliffe loves you all.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

You sound just like one of Jesus's disciples.:eek: :D

Maybe he can't walk on water, but you'd have thought he'd have made sure the tannoy worked this afternoon, when Accrington Stanley had their parade and reception at the Town Hall.....nearly as bad as the Oswaldtwistle Christmas lights 'grand turn on', when his fairy lights wouldn't twinkle, and the mictophone didn't work.

Welcome to Accy Web by the way, nice to have a Britcliffe supporter to debate/toy with on here.:)

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I wouldn't be a Britcliffe supporter if Oswaldtwistle Labour Party put up a serious political candidate.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Rindy are you saying the "second comming" has happened and we all missed it? I am surprised you think Peter is Jesus when you appear to be a Gayle supporter. Does this also mean that you think Gayle is Satan without the little pointy tail?

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Define "serious political candidate" please

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Bill Greene ;)

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I was just impressed from Ralph's first post, and it's Messianic, simplistic devotion.


Appear to be a Gayle supporter? I've had more than one disagreement on here with her, and my vote remains private, though you may guess who won't be getting my little cross come election day.;)

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I know who you are voting for and which selection method you used. Do you forget all our half druken conversations?

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Any convo when drink is involved should be taken with a pinch of pepper. :)

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

OK, I'm interested - which selection method did he use and is it something that I should be using to get other voters?

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Arm up the back and a cudgel in hand. :p :D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

It might work and would make for more interesting leaflets than Peters very nice and informative one with all the pictures.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Neil is volenteering to be your spin doctor Gayle. :D Depends on the type of pics he has in mind. ;)

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I'm just waiting for feedback on my own election address. I'm surprised Neil hasn't commented yet!

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Give him time he is keeping you in suspense. :D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Well, news in the LET is that the complaint against the calendar has been rejected. Apparently, Cllr Britcliffe as head of the Area Councils had wanted a calendar for all of the Area Councils so decided to do the Oswaldtwistle one as a prototype. He then decided that it wasn't a good idea and so decided not to do it for any of the areas. Then he decided to use the Oswaldtwistle one as a personal one for him and Cllr Britcliffe and apparently paid for all the work that council officers had already done on it.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

callme cynical if you must, but my response to this is a big fat raspberry and the comment 'a likely story' with my tongue planted firmly in my cheek.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

What a suprise.

I will always cherish mine, as one of the chosen one's in the ward he contested.

Can anyone laminate it for me so it will be wipe clean?;)

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

No Garinda, but I can lend you a couple of pieces of rotten fruit and an egg that is past its sell by date....oh yes, and a couple of suggestions on what to do with them....in respect of the calendar of course! :D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Thats that sorted out then! ;)

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

why don't they do a proper accrington publicity calendar.
hmmmm Just remembered there's nothing to put on it is there town hall, market hall, graffiti coppice, pounland, sawn down tree stump, oak tree at christmas.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Christmas lights!

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

why do people keep saying that to me.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

We do have some genuine olde worlde stocks in Ossy, which would make a great photo opportunity....if only we had a willing volunteer to sit in them?:D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I should do a site with my lights on, as I've had donations to WS lights this year.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

lol I will if you want, just don't use that rotten fruit on me.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

No, the fruit will be fresh...and ripe.:D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

lol you sod, your soooo cruel to me.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

How disappointing.

This years calendar was on cheap, flimsy paper.

And instead of last year's twelve photographs, this year there was only one.

Still it did feature Peter Britcliffe and Neil again, as did so many last year, so it's gone up on my kitchen wall.:D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Kitchen?? or bedroom :D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Put it through the shredder and then in your white sack, show him you really do support his efforts for re-cycling.

Done.:)

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Awww, I haven't got one. Now I can understand last year not receiving on because after all it was a message from the Conservative party but this year - I think I'm being discriminated against. Surely if they are being issued to all the residents of St Andrew's ward I should receive one - am I being singled out here?

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

You could put in a freedom of information request for the posting list for the calendars. ;) :D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Mine wasn't delivered to my house, I intercepted my copy.;)

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Why doesn't someone make a callendar up showing 'some' of the grot spots in Hyndburn, and send it to Peter Britcliffe, notice I said some of the grot spots.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

But what would that tell me - oh, I know, everything I knew already! :D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/s...dburn+calendar

:D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Look's like i'm 2 years out of date garinda, I had the right idea though:D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

The fun part of doing it is the hassle it causes ;) :D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I've just had this year's calendar posted through my door, from my local councillors, Peter Britcliffe and Brian Walmsley.

Times must be hard. One side of an A4 sheet, and in black and white!

What's most shocking, besides the fact that Neil and family aren't pictured on it this year (perhaps they demanded a fee this time), is that Peter Britcliffe himself is nowhere to be seen.

How I'll make it through these dark winter months, without seeing that smiling cheruic face of his, I don't know.

It looks as if the full colour, twelve gorgeous picture days, are over.:(:D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

P.S. I hope other people received their calendars as well.

I'd hate to think they were going to all this trouble just for me.:D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I wish I had last years calendar. I Don't think I could think of anything much better than having that as part of my inspiring collection of political and humorous documents loosely attributed to my wall. :(

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I haven't received one but then again I think I've been excluded from their Christmas lists for quite some time. ;)

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Perhaps they're not giving you one because they know you're moving.

But then again I don't think you received the 2006 controversial, full colour, twelve glorious Britcliffe photos one either.:D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

No, strange that I should be excluded from that isn't it? Perhaps when I move they'll send me one then (until they find out where I've moved to!)

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I thought my Spring edition of 'Toby Jug Collector International' had arrived early, when I collected the post from behind the door this morning.


Long gone are the days, well actually two years, of twelve glorious full colour photographs.


Perhaps it's the credit crunch.


There isn't even a shot of Neil on this year's much awaited calendar.

:D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I got one of those the other day too. :D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Its Lancashire County Council elections this year and the european elections this year rindy .... that might be why.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

No, I get one hand delived every year, smelling of Tweed by Lentheric, to keep me sweet, and keep saying nice things.

Never been as good as the one there was an inquest about how it was funded though.:rolleyes:

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

If you are not going to use it, I'd be grateful of it! Unfortunately I think the Rhyddings Park calander Gayle sent got lost in the post. :(

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

...it could be Brut.

It's a bit ambiguous.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I'm very grafeful.

I've attached it to my front door to frighten away those trying to introduce me to salvation.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Id have thought they'd have given up long since rindy ...... :D:D:D

Re: Ratcliffe monthly.
 

Well they have Jen, but when he went away for his annual away day last year he forgot to cancel them and when he came home they had set up a camp site on the gassy knoll outside his house and were running a steam press printing the Watch Tower.:D:D:rolleyes:;)

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I think I have a few left still if you want one. When are you back in these parts?

Re: Ratcliffe monthly.
 

Well friend or no friend I don't want one I more Calendars this year than soft Mick, FORP, AIR Ambulance, HBC recycling, HH, an my Daughter made a very special one with different photos of the Grand Kids every month, so I have that and FORP on my wall in front of my desk:mosher:

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I'm actually going Hull today, but will be back for a short period early next week..

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Let me know when you are back and where you are and I will see what I can do.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I did send one to you, honest.:(

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I do believe you. :D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I too got one of those calenders with peter on the front....and back....sadly though for some strange reason i had the urge to shovel some cat poo with it:rolleyes:

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Me neither :( what a surprise;) But if you are short a calender, I might have a spare copy of the Kingston Whig-Standard calender ... pictures of Kingston ... and this Britcliffe character isn't in any of them:alright:

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Are you sure Eric:rolleyes:

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I'm surprised he has'nt commisioned a limited edition Stamp, to be printed with his Mug on it!!...Mind you, it would sure make me thankfull for the self stick ones.....you really would'nt want to lick one of his would you!!


Best Regards - Taggy

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Lick one of his what?:eek:

Re: Ratcliffe monthly.
 

He did suggest it Taggy, but I talked him out of it:D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

For those of you who didn't receive a calendar...tough.

It's the result of your councillors not agreeing to the calendars being funded from H.B.C.'s coffers.

Who cares about what else the money could have been spent on in the borough, when you can look at the pretty pictures instead?

Re: Ratcliffe monthly.
 

Exactly:hehetable:hehetable

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Now you mention it, there is a horse in one of the pictures ... and from some of the comments, it seems many of you think this Britcliffe is a real horse's ass:eek:;)

Re: Ratcliffe monthly.
 

And he speaks eloquently well about them too:D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I recently received a calender through my door from the local area council. Does anybody know why the calender only features the names and pictures of Conservative Councillors?

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Might it be because they represent the ward you live in?

I know that's the case for myself.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Thanks for your reply, but it can be that. The Area Council I live in has Conservative Councillors, but it also has Labour Councillors. Bit confusing really.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I'm afraid I can't help you.

My calendar at least had the contact details of the councillors who represent the ward I live in.

I'm afraid mine has long since been recycled, as those councillors just weren't as pretty as the photographs in the Friends of Rhyddings Park calendar.

:D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

It does have 1 Labour Councillor yes. Maybe they forgot to invite her for the picture.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Yep I got one too on Avenue Parade, with Paul Barton smiling..ish at me.....no sign of Bernard Dawson or Graham Jones on it though!

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Does it?

As it only had one photograph of our leader, and not one of you this year, I only gave it a cursory glance before putting it in the recycling sack.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Ossy has 1 not the calendar.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Can't be 100% sure because it's gone, but I thought my calendar just had the councillors from my ward.

You're probably right.

As I said, after the luxury of previous calendars, this one only merited a quick glance.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

We have 2 Councillors in our ward Peter Britcliffe and Brian Walmsley both Tory. Ossy's Labour Councillor is Collette McCormack, she is Immanuel ward along with Jean Lockwood (Tory)

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I'm aware of that.

I just seemed to remember the calendar featured Councillors Britcliffe and Walmsley's details.

Which I certainly don't have a problem with, as they are the councillors who represent the ward I live in.
