Not at all.

Glorious in the fact that it proved a point.

That your little chum, Peter Britcliffe, could eat well in London for a tenner. When he asked if anyone could, and if so they should write a guide book. When justifying why he'd ignored the recommendations of an independent panel, and increased councillor's food expenses by 100%.

Council makes a meal of rises - Accrington Observer

I kindly offered details to a lovely restaurant, only minutes walk from where he was. Two course, half bottle of wine, all for less than £10.

Gloriously detailed, and helpful advice.

It inspired me to start my now popular travel guides, Live Like a King, on a Pauper's Pittance.

:D

Whilst not being anything to be proud of John, you must have been one hell of a teacher.

However, you really need to advise Peter that he's going to have to move the events of the Royal wedding forward in order to get the photos in the paper in time for the local elections. Freemen of the Borough, photos with the lucky people getting married, street parties....no votes to be won by appearing in a paper that actually comes out on election day! I'm sure Mr Cameron can wangle a picture of the Leader with Prince William and Kate in advance.

Having watched the Leader of the Council blaze out of the car park like the DeLorean from Back to the Future on hearing of Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen's visit to the Haworth Art Gallery, I fear there is nothing that would prevent him from courting the media if there was the vaguest hint of a few votes.

Advise Peter:eek::eek::eek: your are bloody joking, to advise you have to be in contact with, something that hasn't happened for years, I converse more with you:rolleyes:

I'm honoured, although slightly disappointed that someone who has clearly had strong and loyal Conservative views in the past is now all but forgotten, save for his musings on a discussion forum that is derided by the very same man he spent years assisting.

Some friend he must be.

Its funny that Ken, friendship is very hard to evaluate really, true friends are few and far between, I have very few, loads of respected acquaintances, but very few true friends, I recon I have about half a dozen, some I've known all my life, one I've only known a few years, but they all have one thing in common, now I'm in very poor health, they still pop in to see me, which shows true friendship. There again Ken just imagine how dull, treads like this would be, everybody agreeing with each other, at least I do throw the occasional hand grenade in the mix before retiring to watching telly:D

That reminds me, Jaysay , of the late Father Bourke of St. Mary's , Ossie .

One Sunday morning he held up one hand and said that is all I need to do to show you how many friends I have , and he added that he probably wouldn't need all the fingers of that one hand to show the number .

Like you he said that he had many acquaintances , but so few friends .

There's a quote , I can't remember by whom , that a friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out .

I don't know about you , but I find as I grow older how shallow human relationships are .

I agree JCB, but you also find out what's what too, I'm kind of with father Burke on that one, but the ones I can count on have proved they're are good people in this world, who still have time for others even when they are out of sight and forgotten by the rest

You may fire when ready.....

Hope your not refering to HBC employees , no doubt you have somwhere in the 'greater' Eastern Prussia in mind or even Siberia ........ think we have heard stories about "relocation" before , seems to me theres not much difference between being a national socialist or an international socialist :eek: ;)

Good grief no, we don't want another dictatorship.

We do have a problem over at Peel Street toilets though, a simple redistribution of human resources would solve everything.

I was begining to think they'd been consigned to history, but no!

Just been hand delivered.

Better late than never.

Fully colour.

Nice quality shiny paper...easy to wipe clean.

First photo's rather odd.

Peter Britcliffe's crouching in the middle of the street, outside Neil's house.

Lucky Neil.

Hey ho.

Now it's finally arrived, I feel like 2012 has finally started.

Happy new calendar year.

Other than there are a few other councillors stood round him, whilst he's mid crouch.

No just crouching, and staring right ahead.

I've warned you before, about drawing your curtains, when doing your naked star jumps.
