I know nothing about that at all.
When I mentioned knowing about some other bids they are ones groups I know are involved with. Sorry for the confusion.

Think it was early spring judging by the flowers in the planters and some daffs. I guess they couldn't wait for summer and blue skies, just had to get on with the filming.
I was asked by Cllr Clare Pritchard and the Town Centre manager to produce this film sometime in February with a closing deadline of March 28th, there wasn't the time to wait for better weather unfortunately. They wrote me a script, I worked around that and had to fit it in when I had the chance which left me around a day to film and edit the final presentation. By far the hardest part was uploading the thing to YouTube which has 'improved' itself recently and is worse than before.

It's not meant to show off Accrington at its best, the whole point is that we need the money.

Sorry for those who think I drone on in the narration, that's what you get for free.

Hearing the narrator drone on, and mentioning the Market Hall having won the 2011 'indoor market of the year'.

Oh the irony.

It doesn't seem two minutes since certain people met that announcement with total derision.

When it turned out the last lot in control at H.B.C. had paid to enter the 'competition', and apparently glittering prizes were therefore two a penny, once you'd paid the hefty entrance fee.

:rolleyes:
If you've got it, flaunt it.

If the film brings money into Accrington, however small an amount, I'm pleased to have played a part.

Far better than sitting on my arse whinging.

For what its worth Ken, I think you did a really good job. Hope it gets results.

BTW - Accy's got a town centre manager? Why couldn't they have done it??

Was it you, doing the narration?

Then I apologise.

I thought Kenneth Williams must have done it, before he popped his clogs.

As part of the bid, it's very professionally done.

As I would expect.

Well done Ken.

There should be a goofy smiley, after the Kenneth Williams line, but it didn't look very pleasing to the eye, in the middle of the post.

So he's here instead.

:D

Ken, I wondered if it was you narrating. You didn't sound like you were just reading from a script(if you were?) and came over quite well.
Anyone who has tried to add narration to a video(even just a holiday one) will realise how hard it is to sound natural! I only tried it once-never again!
Let's hope the video helps.

Nice.

I presume that's aimed at myself, since you quoted me.

Somehow I didn't expect you'd be very supportive of disabled rights.

After your wholehearted support for the removal of Accrington's public seating debacle.

Do be careful though, if you attempt to go kissing any babies, whilst out electioneering.

Make sure you pucker up to the right end of the lucky little tot.

Or you could end up with a mouthful of crap.

:dummy2:

I could sort of accept it, you playing the poor little me, victim card.

If, whilst in opposition, you hadn't used this very forum to launch such vitrolic attacks, against your political opponents.

I really can't help who's nowadays as popular as rickets.

I just wish you luck.

You might need it.

Give, give, give.

If any money does turn up, do we know what is planned for it ?

Whinge?

Never.

Too much energy wasted.

Bitch. Yes...if needed.

Terrible judge of character, some people.

Simply amazing.

The filth they're so happy to share with you.

Shocking.

Give, give, give.

Every town centre business owner gets a free ginger bob.

Well so far, the general consensus seems to be....could try harder.
