:D

"neigh" is a sound that horses make, dearheart. The word you were obviously groping in the gutter for is 'nay'.

Do you remember a while back someone posted a link to another website where, following a series of question regarding current affairs, you were then scored as to your position on the political 'left-right' scale? I took the test and fell out with myself for over a week. It said I was to the left of Harold Wilson!
And there was I fondly imagining myself to be a camp follower of Atilla the Hun.

You'd have to fight the fragrant Marcia, Lady Falkender, for the honoured position at old Harold's left-hand side.

As for my equine neigh, it also applies when a silly ass does it.

So I was correct.

:D

Will Mr Britcliffe be wearing his medal at the Rememberance Day Parade on Sunday?

As a row of tents darling....and don't you forget it. In case you do I'm sure Garinda will remind you, he's quite good at that sort of thing.;)

If it wouldn't be wanton disrespect of our Glorious Dead, it might be worth turning up just to point at him and snigger, loudly.

I have my moments.
Going back to the thread, does anyone know what it says on this infamous medal or are you not allowed to get so close? If it just says 'Leader of the Council' perhaps he's reached that certain age!

It says '21 Today' :)

......and there is a little price tag on it saying 72.11 + VAT.

Acrylic-bob 03-11-2010 17:10

Re: Synergistic Spending in Hyndburn
 
I know what it should say.....:D

If Mr Britcliffe had been really clever, he could have claimed the VAT back.

There hasn't been that many. Michael Hindley and Ian Ormerod are names that come to mind. Jean Battle, stood in for Ian when he was ill as leader. But I told her that doesn't count. Peter is hardly likely to let her have one of those medals for standing in for two months.

'Harold Wilson's personal doctor suggested murdering the former prime minister's secretary when she threatened to reveal an alleged affair with Mr Wilson, it was claimed yesterday.'
Harold Wilson's doctor plotted to kill Marcia Falkender - UK Politics, UK - The Independent

This could explain some of the stains on the Gannex.

:eek:
