Missing person

gynn · 24-11-2011, 21:37

Concerns have been expressed over the disappearance of one of the regular contributors to this web site. Nothing has been heard from the contributor going under the name of "Ken Moss" since 3rd November, a worryingly 20 days since his last post. It is completely out of character for Ken, who has never been backward in coming forward when the Council has been in danger of going off the rails.

A number of theories have been put forward for his disappearance. It is possible that he is so ashamed of the performances of Blackburn Rovers in recent weeks that he can't face the outside world, but experts consider that least weeks dramatic equaliser against Wigan would have been too much to prevent him coming onto the site with a whoop of delight.

A more likely explanation is that he is ashamed of his behaviour in supporting an inexplicable Council resolution to support an obscure and destructive terrorist organisation in a remote part of Asia, and he has gone into hiding. Persistent requests to justify his vote have been met with a deafening silence.

If you know of Ken's whereabouts, please treat him with caution but with care.At heart he's a gentle creature.

And remember, Crimes of this nature are comparatively rare, so don't worry. And sleep tight!

Perhaps he wandered into Hyndburn's own political Bermuda Triangle, and a cleaner inadvertently locked him in?

Can be hard to free yourself, when tied by the chains of power.

If we all listen quietly, we might hear the screams.

I could have asked him on Facebook.

But he's de-friended me, for making a lot of fuss and silly nonesense, over the removal of some benches.

Poor old Mossy - thought he was a rolling stone.....

Hope he turns up - should never have gone on the Althams coach trip to Karakoroum -the offer of the free hand-made luxury knit-wear was too much to refuse obviously...

For those desperately missing him, you could always read the body of work, that he's left us to remember him by.

There are one or two threads, in which he wasn't being too beastly, about the then leader of H.B.C.

Am not really at liberty to reveal the following BUT a close friend of mine, who is in contact with MI5, has intimated that the real reason for his visit to the afore-mentioned Kashmiri-region was to commision some secular mahoganny specifically for the construction of communal seating in the market area of the Borough of Hyndburn. Lets hope his sacrifice -if such it turns out to be -has not been in vain and that the benches at least are completed in the name of his un-selfish act....

Breaking news from Asia - sources have just confirmed a sighting of Ken Moss at the Dalai Llama's summer palace in the Indian region of Arunachal Pradesh in the Himalayas. He is reportedly on a pilgrimage to the sights visited by his idol Richard Gere (you may have noticed in his Avatar how Mr.Moss closely resembles Mr Gere - same winning smile).

Now said to be wearing fetching orange robes it is feared he is blending in with the local population as part of a cunning plan to abscond and join a group of freedom fighters in Katmandu....all this in his quest to secure the best deal for the citizens of Hyndburn WRT the raw materials for the new communal seating area planned outside Accrington Market Hall...

Foot-note: The mahoganny in Karakoroum was found to be beyond the council's tight budget. Teak is thought to be a better bet...

Why was this thread first closed, then deleted, then re-instated?

Played havoc with my karma.

Was it really? Didn't notice...it could be because of the sensitive information it contains!

Have sent you some karma to re-balance your Chakra Gynn....

Because I changed my mind, its less abusive than others we have left on about other Councillors.

Many thanks.

I don't see why you consider that any councillor is obliged to post on this forum.

You may well prefer that they did,
but do not deny them the right to withdraw from contact with you if they so wish.

.

Agreed, but this is a councillor who lived on this website when in opposition, and criticised other members for not posting on here.

He may well have many better things to do than try to explain himself to you, especially since many of you have already decided his reasons for his absence, which may or may not be correct.

I am not in the position of ever being browbeaten into explaining my actions or lack of them. (Neither should he be.)

If I ever was, I think I would just 'leave you hanging' too.

You're right, this website isn't connected to H.B.C. in anyway at all, so really isn't the place to expect answers to any questions.

Though it's more than a little ironic, that the people who are now being questioned, regularly demanded answers to their own questions on here from members of the ruling party....whilst they were in opposition.

If people want to have a little moan about those in power, that's gone on since time immemorial. Over the garden fence, in the wash house, down the pub. An internet forum's just a newer place to carry on this ancient tradition.

Besides, you may as well ask questions on here, and get no reply.

Last week I wrote to a Hyndburn councillor, to the email address given on the H.B.C. website, asking for information and help, and am still awaiting a reply.

Thankfully I didn't send my very proper letter by snail mail, otherwise I would have wasted the price of a stamp.
