Rovers must have been away:D

You may well be right, but at least he turns up sometimes, unlike other local politicians, on either side, that I could mention.

He's usually looking after his daughter Wyn:rolleyes: he ain't anybody at home to do the honours;)

Its only a game, he might have important things to do :rolleyes:

That's true, he comes on quite a lot now. You cant miss Graham up the Stanley. He always seems to have a pie in his gob.

Thanks for the messages. It's going to be hard in the whips office. Ed has put me on lighter duties to cope. He was very kind and encouraging when I hesitated.

I have to coordinate the southern section of MPs and work with Yvette Cooper in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

I have a season ticket for Rovers with my long time school friends. I go Stanley as well as regular as possible. I like pies!

On a humorous note I passed comment in the famous comments book in the House of Commons dining room. In essence complaining about cosmopolitan food and the lack of gravy when ordering chips. This was discriminatory practice against people from the regions.

We do miss you as a councillor, and opposition leader in Hyndburn.

Your successor is very low key.

Thank goodness for Cllr. Moss, who isn't.

:D

Do you mean Wendy Dwyer who replaced Graham as ward councillor or Miles Parkinson who is now Leader of the Opposition, Garinda ?

Do you mean they are low key on Accyweb or just generally ?

Sorry, I should have been clearer.

The new leader of Labour in Hyndburn, Miles Parkinson, is less high profile than Graham was. Not just here, but in all the local media, and unilke our Mossy.

I'm not saying he isn't working just as hard, but we don't get to see it.

Wendy, my dear chum, is too busy to court the press.

It used to be Graham getting stories in the press, he thought needed attention. Now it seems to be Ken Moss.

No doubt a future leader of the Labour Group:rolleyes:
