Re: Wandering off thread
 

I hope so too Susie, we have lost too many of the old traditions and links to our past.
It was interesting to read some of the erudite and pithy comments on the Telegraph thread too, though I am not sure that ‘old&grumpy’ is correct when he says “The original dancers were unemployed and danced to get money. This was considered to be a form of begging which was illegal. The dancers blacked up to avoid being identified”
It goes back a lot further than that of course. I always thought the black faces were to show solidarity to the miners during the 1893 strike.
Anyroad long may the “Nutters” prevail

You though you were poor Mr D?, my cousin Pete who lived next door to us on South Street back in the day was told to put all his birthday money in the special blue savings box under the stairs marked NWEB.

Re: Wandering off thread
 

I’d just like to thank everyone who turned up at Town Bent Fold for the scattering of Wandering Walter’s ashes into the headwaters of the Tinker Brook. It was a fitting tribute to the man who as you know I miss greatly. Nevertheless I am comforted everyday by his gnomic and sage like phrases and sayings.
After the ceremony I was approached by a sallow little man with lips pinched from the cold all dressed in black, black-gloved, and coat buttoned to the chin. He introduced himself as Walter’s solicitor Mr Vholes. “ Mr P” he whispered “I have a package for you, some of Walters belongings he wanted you to have”
Well you could have knocked me down with a feather, indeed you could have knocked me down with a crowbar, I was touched and just wait till I tell you what was in yet another Tesco carrier bag !!!

Re: Wandering off thread
 

Where were we?

Oh yes ..the contents of the Tesco bag left in the catacombs under the Con.... that really was a bit of a curates egg. there were a few more packets of Swizzells Love Hearts, a framed picture of a Shetland pony, a Junior Membership card for iCandy on Blackburn Road and a few till receipts from Asda and Tesco for various surgical supplies. Unfortunately the receipts were too damp to establish the dates and times and what with the cost of the MQ1 and the NROL-36 hovering over the town there’s no money left in the budget* to run the supermarket checkout security cameras. No bad thing really I mean if the Predator guys at Creech Air Force base were bored looking down on Hyndburn, imagine having to sit and watch the comings and goings on these store tills for a day even!
BUT
There was a hand drawn map showing a series of tunnels leading from under the Con Club. The CRO after gas checking these tunnels did a bit of exploring. One going off in the direction of Moleside and clearly marked Gamblers Caves was blocked by a roof fall underneath the Abbey Hotel on Bank Street BUT the one going off in direction of the factory bottoms was followed to its point of deboucher * And you’ll never guess where that was? As per the photo .....half way up flipping Priestly Clough. Perfect one would say for someone to pop down and back from Holy Family School during breaktimes and free periods. No wonder the drone and satellite didn’t spot him.

As kids we used to be told that the brickwork shown here was part of the network of tunnels dug by the monks of the Grange at Black Abbey stretching all the way out to Whalley Abbey, maybe just maybe that story is more than a myth? ;)

Re: Wandering off thread
 

He comes from Holland?
:confused:

Re: Wandering off thread
 

I have been contacted by a few peeps on here pointing out that a Predator MQ1 can’t hover, well spotted all those pedants, this was in fact the NROL-36 spy satellite maneuverered into a geo-synchronous orbit over Hyndburn, meanwhile the Predator was in fact doing a lazy loop several times an hour taking in Whinny Hill tip in the North and down as far South as White Syke Farm. The folks on the tip who rang into the Town Hall thinking they had seen a UFO were fed the party line “ It’s taking air quality samples over the tip” :cool:

Re: Wandering off thread
 

Houston we have a problem.
Our DtheP47 is suffering a serious malfunction. Suggest we shut it down and jettison it.

Re: Wandering off thread
 

Either you are dazed and confused or I am!

Re: Wandering off thread
 

You are neither dazed nor' confused, D the 47th pillock has imitated a dying star imploded upon himself and can see no further than his arse, mainly because his head is stuck up there, judging by the size of that head, surgeons will need to use more than keyhole surgery to remove it.

I personally am against the operation, he has finally met his true love.
:o

Re: Wandering off thread
 

Bullshine! I doubt that anyone would willingly contact you unless it was in a post, they would want witnesses to any reply they may get.

Be honest D the pathetic, you're lonely and in desperate need of friends, just don't now how to make any.

Since this a wandering thread I will make it wander a little.

Re: Wandering off thread
 

A few peeps have contacted me on here asking what was in the second Tesco bag the creepy Mr Vholes handed me up on the windswept banks of the Tinker Brook that day. Well as Bob Dylan sings* “By a simple twist of fate” and of course Wandering Walters generosity with his bequest enabling me to buy the U S Airways Envoy Class ticket I find myself in the Cock & Bull pub on the windswept banks of the Ohio in the good old US of A, with Walters well thumbed copy of Ainsworth’s Old Homesteads of Accrington & District and his print out from the Ellis Island Register.

Since I got here I have been somewhat distracted I have to confess by the Cincinnati Beer Fest so the whys and whatfor’s of the contents of that blue and white supermarket bag will have to wait until I get back to perfidious Albion’s shores. I can however share with you the plethora of beers on offer at the Fest because I know a goodly few members scattered across the globe, on the AccyWeb like the odd beer. I am always amazed at the lexicon of names brewers create for their beers both here and at home. Something for every occasion and for everybody I am sure you will agree.

*Cue the AccyWeb jukebox #4932 and 4935

oops......The Beer List attached

Re: Wandering off thread
 

I saw a job ad on the London Underground today advertising for “ A Grand Wizard of the Inner Circle Line”
I thought, “That’s lovely, Boris is taking street theatre subterranean and paying homage to the books of J K Rowling. They will probably finish off at Kings Cross to see the Platform 9 and three quarters with that half a Asda trolley embedded in the wall”


Then I read the job description in the small print it was actually for an old fashioned wheel-tapper and shunter. ;)

Re: Wandering off thread
 

;) Where were we ?

Just had a look at the Lonely Planet’s Guide to Boloxnia.

Re: Wandering off thread
 

Oh tee hee how witty your attempt could be.

Just come in from the pub have you?

Ready to give us the wisdom of your gaffs?

Oh by the way someone left a message for you over on the today I met an accywebber thread.

If you can manage to keep one eye open you'll be able to read it.

Re: Wandering off thread

Re: Wandering off thread
 

Well there you go again showing yourself to be no-one of real consequence.
I think I actually used that picture as my Avatar several years ago.

I seem to remember you whining in some other thread after you came in from the pub about how you didn't like losing this battle.
I did reply that whenever you want to stop what you started is fine by me.
Perhaps now would be a good time?

After all, you keep doing the attacking with the severity of a flea bite, which does me no harm but it really does show you up.
:)

Re: Wandering off thread
 

Exactement..where do you think I got it from Wizz? Somebody sent me a scan of one of your old posts this morning. :cool:

Re: Wandering off thread
 

You are so full of bullshine, it wasn't on AccyWeb. :)
You really should go back to your imaginary friend Water and give up trying to score points when you don't even know how may beans make 5!

Who said it was on the AW? The techie guys at Creech AFB have all your posts :cool:

Re: Wandering off thread
 

Oh yawn, how boring you are, why on earth do you exist, you started your silly little campaign without any input from me, you whine when all you do is make a fool of yourself, you don't follow my suggestion of stopping what you started.
I might just get annoyed with you, except...


...you aren't worth the bother, now go away try and find yourself someone that gives a damn!
:)

Re: Wandering off thread
 

The techie guys have just sent me one of your posts to Ask Abby.
Dear Abby I’ve got maggots under my scrotum and don’t know what to do. I have been banned from the Asda Chemists for pestering the Pharmacist for a solution. Can you help please? Wizz.
Dear Wizz, you are a wizard for Pete’s sake!! Wait a couple of days and they will turn into your flies. Abby.;)

Everyone is trace-able, even in the real world of virtuality, just a shame you make it up as you go along...

Re: Wandering off thread
 

This thread makes the drug one borderline interesting

Re: Wandering off thread
 

Love the idea, DtheP47 actually posted something interesting on the WWW.
Anybody got ideas of what sort of spam should be directed to his email Addy at the bottom of the first link.
Nothing to do with penis enlargements, as he's already proved himself to be an over-inflated Richard.:D

Re: Wandering off thread
 

I'm so glad, I've hardly slept worrying about why things always happen to you.

I've come up with a theory, if you treat everyone as you're inferior, the more inclined they will be to lose your baggage!

Same goes with folk on the web, treat us like that and boy, you will be the one with regrets.
:)

Re: Wandering off thread
 

Ok Ok

I’ll put it down to your lack of sleep that your middle sentence doesn’t hang together but hey I get what you are trying to say. It’s only an apostrophe and I’m not the forum spelling nazi.

David Hulme once asked the question “Would any man who is walking alone, tread as willingly on another’s gouty toes, whom he has no quarrel with, as on the hard and flinty pavement.
Put another way by Virginia Heffernan “Would any other solitary human being be cruel to a sick or weak person when he stood to gain nothing?”
I awarded you the sobriquet of “the sphincter in the pointed hat” when I read you bragging of just that several months ago on this forum.
And as far as egrets, as Burt Lancaster says in Frankenheimer’s classic film “ I’ve had a few”:)
Ditto threats.;)

Re: Wandering off thread
 

Yet another yawn, your nit picking doesn't improve.

Why don't you find a site you can dominate?

Burnley web for example?

Oh, no, that one was killed off by folk like you.

Re: Wandering off thread
 

Well I am one of the forum's spelling Nazis, and if you are going to quote a philosopher then at least you could get his name right. It's Hume not Hulme.

And what a pity you didn't go on to quote the rest of Heffernan's article:

Internet trolls regularly tread on gouty toes. They trick vulnerable people with whom they have no quarrel; they upset those people; they humiliate them; they break their hearts; they mess with them. They do it for something Hume didn’t perfectly name: the lulz — the spiteful high.

So do you troll? Trolls occasionally use hacking or identity-thieving skills, but you don’t have to have special skills to become a troll — just a cast of mind. Theirs is not a federal offence. It’s rarely even actionable. But, holy, is it mean. Stomp, stomp, stomp-on the parents of a young man who committed suicide. On a sweet girl looking for love on MySpace. On light-sensitive epileptics looking for information on a health site.
Then, when the ouch comes, or worse — gouty toes are supremely tender — trolls get their lulz.

Ring any bells?

As for the egrets, is that another lapse in concentration or your feeble attempt at a joke? (yawn).

Dominate as opposed to intimidate you mean?

Intimidate as in posting a link to someone’s personal details and then suggesting to his attack dogs they spam him.

Can you print all your posts as above, save me bothering to read them, life really is too short:rolleyes:

Re: Wandering off thread
 

Go and patronise somebody else - or just go.

Re: Wandering off thread
 

Isn't life strange?
You started on me, I tell you I'm ready for it to stop, when you stop, then you continue on me?

I show really worthless posts on the www from you after all your made up insults about me and still, you insist I'm the one doing wrong?

Have you ever considered therapy rather than attacking those that never actually spoken to you until you insulted them?

Oh dear, I can't quote your first input against me, it was removed for your profanity. Just before you were banned the first time.

I have patience, you will soon be banned again, for how long?

Don't bother to ask, I haven't decided.
:)

Re: Wandering off thread
 

My first input to you only asked why? and contained no profanities. :)

Re: Wandering off thread
 

Right me and a few others are fedup with all the name calling on this thread so its now closed
