We can only live in hope.

People power seemed to have some effect when they tried to waste another load of tax payer's money, changing the name of the borough, for no discernible benefit, other than as some costly ego trip.

As long as there's daft ideas, there'll always be some who come along to dampen them.

The bin's emptied, as if by magic.

Rindy (again) points out Britcliffe's c.v. on the B.B.C. is full of hilarous mistakes.

They get rectified. Nine mirth filled years later, but rectified all the same.

Rindy has his now annual rant against public funded calendars, in addition to the one already produced by H.B.C.

We'll wait and see if the magic of Accy Web works on this one.

:rolleyes:
By the way, I'm not making any claims to get things changed.

The power seems to be with the new media we have....Accy Web.

Why contact the organ grinder direct, when you have a problem?

One of the monkeys will do it for you, after reading about it on here?

That's rather dissapointing to hear.

That some councillors plan to waste yet more local tax payer's hard earned money on unnecesarry calenders next year too.

Thank you for passing on this information to the residents of Hyndburn Bubbles.

If as you say Hyndburn resident's money is to be wasted next year too, could I put in a request?

If we are to have another calender forced upon us, could we at least have one with another funny photograph, similar to the Toby jug one?

This one would fit the bill, and might even double as an audition entry for Britain's Got Talent.

Councillor Peter Britcliffe - Peter Britcliffe

If a break-dancing, benefit cheat pensioner can make the grade, there might be a good chance for a balancing act.

I'd be more than happy to design any costumes, and think feathers would look fabulous.

Not to rain on Garinda's parade by resurrecting this thread on his behalf but the fate of this illustrious publication rests on the meeting of the full council on 14th September.

I am moving to have them abolished. Monstrous I know, particularly in view of the pleasure we've all had in taking the mickey, but several thousand pounds of public money is at stake in order to duplicate the excellent recycling calendar and enable Peter to start next year's election campaign at the expense of the taxpayer.

I know some of you will be sad to see them go if I am successful but it seems that the council leader is rather keen for them to stay. Not 24 hours after my proposal hit the desk at Scaitcliffe House, all Area Management chairs received phonecalls to see if they wanted a calendar this year.

My Rishton counterpart, Cllr Harry Grayson, replied firmly in the negative with the request that we could have the money to do something really useful instead.

We await their reply.

Can you also pass on our thanks to Peter for apparently single handedly getting bullfighting banned in Catalonia.

I'd happily see the production of these unnecessary calendars ceasing.

Firstly, the money they cost could be better spent elsewhere.

Secondly, my mint condition, collectors copies, will shoot up in valuable.

Thank goodness for wipe clean plastic, say I.

:D

Just trying to do what's best for the residents of Hyndburn. Abolishing them makes money!

It sounds like they've been the cause of some little excitement for you in the past...

The one with Cllr. Britcliffe and Neil on all twelve pages, you mean.

I thought it was a brochure advertising civil partnerships!

I suppose I'll just have to make more of Christmas itself. If I'm not going to be able to look forward to that hefty plop on my mat in the NewYear, when my calendar is hand delivered.

Hey ho.

:rolleyes:

He would be better thought of if he stopped Bullshiiting in Accrington.
How come he's never tried to move the council offices up Ossy, he wouldn't have far to go then,
and seeing he's a one man band, his front room would be big enough.
