I hadn't thought of that, maybe we could offer to host the peace conference at the Dunkenhalgh

Might be better, being more central, to host any peace conference in the Crocheted Gonk Suite, at the Old Market Hall Arts Centre.

Nope, so we cause the minimum of offence it will have to be Kentucky Fried, it's Hal al so that's o.k. for everybody, (except the mediators, (but they don't count)), and we'd never talk the Indians into going anywhere near Blackburn Road.

Nowadays, there are wholesale redundancies and service cuts which SHOULD be of concern.

No that would never do Less, most Hindu's are vegetarian. How about a few chairs gathered around the coffee machine at Scaitcliffe Towers?

Perhaps completely neurtral would be to clear the alki's and 'social' drug users off the benches outside the market and everyone could sit there...

Arghhh, no, just realised, that will start rindy on his long term rant about the benches having been removed, still, a new set could be claimed on expenses for the meeting.

I'm not that bad, although I must admit I don't recall Jeeves ever admitting a Tory.

So long as visitors enjoy a drink and are decent company I'll usually offer them a drink....

Ah yes, the removal of the Market Hall benches.

I had a visitation.

No, a real one.

I wasn't tripping on L.S.D., and imagining a spooky incarnation of the Deputy Leader of Hyndburn B.C. on my doorstep.

I was told I was right.

The benches were damaged beyond repair, when they were removed, as part of this experiment.

But I was very naughty boy, saying those gypsies had been told to take them away, because as sure as Kashmir is India, all the broken bits are still there in the coucil yard. So my informant was wrong.

:rolleyes:
