Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 
I have got to admire the blind loyalty of some people.

You read in fairy tales of people spinning straw into gold.

It must be really difficult to try and spin something, when all you've got to work with is a pile of stinking old dung.

Glad you can't possibly be referring to me, given I have criticised both parties locally and nationally. :D

We disagree because you seem to be under the illusion that it would somehow be less a waste of money if it contained all the details of councillors, and I don't.

I think it should never have been produced using tax payers money, irrespective of the details contained on it.

It isn't needed, full stop.

I mentioned generic 'people', and gave no names.

Still, if you think the little pixie hat fits, so be it...

...and yet the people of Hyndburn, as a whole, twice rejected him as their M.P.

Perhaps his popularity doesn't travel much further than the St. Andrew's ward boundary.

We'll see what happens for a third time, now he's declared an interest in standing yet again....if he's selected.


:rolleyes:

I don't think it would be less of a monetary waste no garinda, I have expressed this opinion in a number of posts in a number of threads now!

I also think it should never have been produced using tax payers money, irrespective of the details contained on it.

I also believe it isn't needed.

Lets say you decided that you no longer liked to drink wine, but didn't inform your friends, and two of them bought you a bottle of wine. One friend, Ronald, bought you a full bottle of wine. Another friend, Peter, wasn't quite as fond of you because you posted a naughty picture of him as a cyborg on a local internet forum, so got you an empty bottle of wine.

Although it's essentially a waste that the bottles have been bought, at least you can give the full bottle to somebody else who does like wine. Therefore the full bottle is more useful, or valuable. ;)

Come election time I think you are going to see a few of Graham's posters in Ossy. We can always shove one through your door if you want one.

Spin, spin, spin.

No, sorry, still no gold.

Still just a pile of old dung next to your spinning wheel.

I'd give up, and go and try something else.

You could go and see Hansel and Gretel's house, and see why the Daily Telegraph listed it as being in an area with the highest council tax in the country.

;)

I don't think you're being biased to Labour, I just think you're too stubborn to agree. ;)

That was actually Neil.

Don't let he facts get in the way of your rather surreal analogy though.

(Though I would check there isn't a gas leak, causing you to write such seemingly off the wall, and flowery posts.)

If I agreed, trust me, I'd say I agreed.

I'm lucky, to be in the politically unencumbered position, of being able to say exactly what I want.

This post caused me to spray tea over my laptop. :p

Forgive me, it was you that suggested Peter be the Halloween, October, picture on the 2006 calendar thread. Just a normal picture, no cyborg. :D

My analogy still stands though, and sums up why both parties have been wrong in Calendargate.

I'm happy too to say I am in the politically unencumbered position, of being able to say exactly what I want.
