Am hoping that a visit to the season's first meeting on Thursday evening will pay dividends, so will check it out.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Thank you for co-op erating.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Glad that you caught onto my train of thought Les. I was far too subtle for Katex.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Nah, you were just being a divvy ...:D

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

As this uns of interest i shall see yeh yon Kate.:);)

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Was worth the trip down, The speaker who i'd seen before was well worth his salt.:)

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Next lecture is Thursday 6th December @ 7.30 p.m. Lecture Room, Accrington Library. Non members £2.50.

"125 Years of Accrington Newspapers."

Speaker: Richard Crossley.
Whalley.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Richard's family owned the Observer. I think this will be one of the highlights of the society's year.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Yes Bob, there can't be much he doesn't know about newspapers in Accrington.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Jan 10th - talk about Tiffany Glass

Can I just mention to folk this will be a FAB talk. Doug Jackson must know more about Tiffany Glass and the Briggs family of Accrington than anyone else I know. He was a friend of Norman Potter, one time curator of Haworth Art Gallery and became interested in the history of the glass through his friendship with Mr Potter.
Well worth a trip to the library, even if its a horrible night!

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Woulda gone to that, but away.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

I agree with Atarah. I've heard him speak before.It's in my diary - 'seeing Katex and Atarah tonight. Wear after-shave.Change socks.'

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

After shave, christ all mighty Dobbo your becoming a right big girl, whinging that bic razors scratch, you don't like carbolic soap, and now after shave, where do you keep all these things in your handbag. :tongueout

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

My, don't these girls scrub up well, although I'd of thought perfume would've been the better option. :)

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Yes - the one you gave me.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Yep it was an old one my mother left for you.:hesoff:

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Once again, a serious thread spoilt by stupid comments!

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Lighten up a bit Atarah, people posting on it, keeps the thread at the top of the list, so more chance of others who aint on here regular seeing it.:rolleyes:

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Hey, I dont need to "lighten up" believe you me!
As to what you say, thats what worries me. Folk will see others have been regularly contributing, but, when they look at the posts, all they will read is rubbish!

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Disagree, they will read the new posts from yours, the rest is irrelevant if someones interested,:rolleyes:

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

A touch over exaggerated don't you think ? They will see what they want to see, an open invite to some local history events & some gentle ribbing going on. Credit the viewers with the ability to at least pick out what's relevant & what's flippancy.

You don't think this is the first or last time a thread has been subjected to a humorous wander do you ? When it happens, instead of getting miffed someone brings it back round again to its origins. Life's to short to be taken to seriously, unwind a little & life's less harsh. :)

It's Kates thread after all & she doesn't appear to be overly upset. ;)

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Yeah Dave but why would they want to have a humorous wander on this thread. If these trolls want to draw attention to theirselves, flex their intellectual or comedic muscles let em' start their own thread.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

44 posts in 4 years, & now your critisising & telling listers how the threads should be run. If every one posted at your rate there would no Accy Web. By the way you've wandered of thread as well by responding to Dave's post.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Well I've just increased your Posts/Liked ratio by 10% Retlaw, oh the power of the keyboard.
But as you so rightly point out in your big bold font I have wandered off thread, I'm starting a new one called "Wandering off thread" come on over.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

I am ever so gratefull for your insight Mr D**kheadP47.
Your a positive asset to the site, especially with your light bending qualities. By the way the PM you sent about the number of likes, if you took any notice you would realise that facility has only been available since Roy's last update. Also I use this so called big bold font because its easier to read, not to make any statement, like some of your posts in your new thread do, you seem to have a large fan club, how many is that now, 1 or 2.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society 2012/13
 

Reminder - this Thursday 7.30pm in the library - a talk on Joseph Briggs and his Tiffany Glass connection.
