Any more? There was one about Springhill House in the Observer I think. Observer not obby,

obby= oh baby.
Pronounced: aw bee.

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Yes, l apologise for that.

I was having a bit of bother transmuting from my last manifestation to the present one.

The bumps were probably caused because I weighed 10lb 2oz at the time I morphed, and the scratching was because of an allergy to a nylon bonnet.

Re: The spirit of Accrington.

That one is a load of cow manure, created by the bloke that does ghost walks, I emailed him for documentry evidence, guess what no reply.

There is nothing in the Coucher Book of Kirkstall, or documents of the de Altham family that show any evidence of any such event.

There is also mention of the ghost at Dunkenhalgh, the Accrington Pals put that myth to rest when they were on a night exercise, it was the mist coming off the stream.

What monks I am tempted to ask?

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Have you not read previous threads on the history of Accrington. Monks from Kirkstall Abbey who by devious means aquired lands in Accrington, from 1192 to when they quit in 1280.
Its as less said in another thread, newcomers should read some of the older threads, to bring themselves up to speed on the subjects they reply to.

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Oh dear don't mention previous threads, it seems accyweb and it's posts aren't allowed to exist from before he got here!
:(

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Might have had something to do with the poor sixties construction, and building materials used. That and the beer sodden carpet, and the leaking bogs.

I wonder if the lights coming on at 'inopportune moments' was accompanied by 'Glasses please!' and 'Have you lot got no homes to go to?'

:rolleyes:

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

That was The Swinger's Arms, run by two men, Willie Eckerslike - Bobby Tupper.

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Some people have things to do so have little time to read all post posted long ago and in many cases are pure dross posted by some unpleasant people.

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Since at least one of the 'stories' was provided by a charlatan, who makes his living from telling tall tales, as pointed out by Retlaw, and who asked, but was provided with no documentary evidence to furnish his 'story', I think there's been nothing posted in this thread that would frighten the horses.

Boo!


Don't have nightmares.

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

I used to regularly wake up at night seeing pink elephants at the end of the bed, the doctor said it would be better if I stopped drinking copious amounts of gin:D:D

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Have any of your close friends got a key to your home?

:D

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

If thats your attitude why should the rest of us respond to your posts, when your too bone idle to read whats gone before.
You asked a question on a historcal subject, when have I written any dross on the history of Accrington.
You must have read something to come up with the statement "DROSS".
I will not be responding to any more of your posts, I also have too little time, especially for fools

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

He is new and he spit's in the face of people that try politely to give him assistance.

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

He may be new, but he has only one thing going for him, he is a legend in his own little mind.

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

i got to page 2 then got an itch in my left testicle , by page 3 the itch was so unbearable to i had to pause my reading while i looked for a appropiatly sized ferret to itch it with ,by page 4 the ferret had bitten off my left testicle and i was rushed to hospital where i tried my best to carry on reading on my PDA but due to the small text,watery eyes and the effect of morphine my reading ability was extreemly hampered and i gave up by page 6 but as a rough estimate i woudl say 6 pages took me 3 hours 22 mins but there were obvious interuptions to be taken into account.

yeah i know im talking bollocks but i didnt start it :)

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Don't mention the bloody Ouija board to me Less, once tried one out for a laugh in an all night restaurant in Blackburn after finishing work at the Cav, the thing kept flinging the glass of the table when I asked it a question, the guy that owned it said the spirits must like me:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Now there you are again, thinking I'm against you, well I'm not, all that can be explained, but, until you stop acting high and mighty, why?

So far you aren't acting as someone that needs friends, but friends are the whole idea about sites like this.

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Well done Accyman, you did make me chuckle :D :D :D

Re: The spirit of Accrington.

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

preferably dead ones a friend of mine went to a show liek this with his partner and was passed on a messge from his grandfather.My mate was amazed as it was only a few hours earlier he had visited his grandfather and he seemed in pretty good health and was relieved to find him still alive after teh show so unless his grandfather had an out of body experience he had no buisness talking to the psychic :rolleyes:

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Everyone has two grandfathers and only your grandmothers have a chance of saying correctly who they are;)

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

not even them if jeremy kyle is anything to go by lol

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

If he's after spirits I'd better keep my eye on the Whisky cupboard:rolleyes:

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

LOL!!....You not opened that ruddy Glen Spey yet Jaysay?....I couldn't resist a snifter...go on...be a devil!!;)

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Is this the Glen Spey that is 12 year old 43% & has a picture of a bird in amongst pine branches on the front ? :)

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

I will one day, might even get a we dram if you want one Taggy;)

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Its a millennium special which I've had for 10 years and was 12 years old when I got it, its in a special bottle in a presentation case

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Oh yes....you can deal me in for that one Jaysay!!!!:)


Best Regards - Taggy

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Any time Taggy, I'm a captive audience these days, I'm always in:D

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Can't really tell you much as I can't seem to find anything about a "Millenium special" bottling & as for it being a 12, it still is, only Whisky that is still laid in a Barrel ages further Jaysay, quite a lot of people are under the same misunderstanding of Whisky & aging. :)

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

If it is a special bottling it will be made quite clear on the packaging, stating somewhere or other "1 of 15,000" or "limited bottling" something along those lines anyway.

If it is the Standard but in a presentation package, it belongs to the Diageo plc group, check their site for more info, but according to the Malt Whisky file it has a rating of "7 for sweetness & 3 for Peatiness" & here's the blurb.

Colour - Amber with pale gold highlights. Nose - Quite light & delicate, medium sweet, grassy & hay-like with a soft smokiness: water gives red apples, honey & beeswax & some cereal notes. Palate - Medium-sweet with quite good body, fragrant, nutty with a heathery floral note, quite fresh & smooth with an oily oak unctuousness. Finish - Rich & enjoyable, if quite light, with a bit of spice Notes - D.o.b. (Distilleries own bottling).

But at the end of the day so long as you enjoy it, that really is all that matters. :) :) :)

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

There we go we all learn something new.

Not being a Conning sewer of any form a spirits I can only tell you, if a 12 year old whisky ever comes into my house, it won't get the chance of reaching it's 13th birthday.

However, I do seem to age overnight after having such a treat, which reminds me, must put a pot of coffee on.

I take it from that comment that you have enjoyed a rather pleasant evening there Less ?? :) Once more you're rebuilding your reputation after the cruel expose of the other day !! :D :D

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

I typed in Ghosts and came up with this amongst others.

Happy to help

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

No Whisky last night.

Being on this healthy food kick, in actual fact I relapsed to drinking Cider last night, I'd dug up a recipe for Kidneys Marinated in Cider on a bed of rice.

It's that long since I'd done this meal I'd forgotten that the recipe only calls for two tablespoons of the stuff, so having opened the economy extra large container of white lightening I thought it would be a shame to let it go flat, ended up marinating my own kidneys and liver as well.

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Gosh, I didn't know we could do that, wherever did you learn such expertise?
Is there a chance that you could share your wisdom amongst us?

:worthy::worthy::worthy::worthy:

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

It's just a mater of knowing your right click from your left and getting them in the correct order:D Takes a little time,but worth it in the end.:tongueout:enough:

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Thanks for that, sorry it took so long to answer but I must admit it made me a little over-confident and I tried both clicks at the same time.
Now borrowing my mates P.C. to answer you, could you tell me what does a blue screen with the words,

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Watch out for a Nori coming through your living room porthole.:D:mosher:

Re: The spirit of Accrington.
 

Couldn't agree more, its a cardinal sin to let good alcohol go flat & lifeless & on top of that what would you have been able to do with the remainder as cider vinegar ? there's only so much dressing you can cope with. :) :)
