Here is an idea as people put their rubbish out the night before collection, why don't the dustman come round at 9.00pm at night to collect it instead of in the morning.

Bring back Pete the road sweep!! Why do these idiot put there rubbish out the night before or even the day before for the cats, shitehawks and rats to rip the bags open??? Yes wheelie bins are the solution in many ways along with a huge vermin shoot??

Isn't it time the traffic light system at Morrisons was nuked and a roundabout put in?

Isn't it time my sniper idea was taken more seriously?

yeah i've seen that ghost - it's looks like that skinny alcoholic with the face of a screaming skull. the sniper idea is good maybe you could hire one

the ghost is reputed to be that of an expired Palmers tenant of the Pack Horse Inn who, on hearing that ale was only going to go up once that week took to his bed in shock and never saw the light of day again

It's been sighted again at Gundry Lane. An elderly lady saw it and got to Bucky Doo and fainted. She was helped out by the local constabulary and an ambulance had to be called. Heard it was Friday just gone, did anyone see the ambulance? Or the ghost? Apparently there has been some minor work carried out at Gundry Lane by builders and word is they have 'disturbed' something. There have been 2 other previous sightings of an eldely male dressed in Victorian dress walking 'through' the doors of the old custom & excise building across the road into the car park of the youth club. Non of the people who have seen it know each other and each didn't know that there had been other sightings.

I'm not in favour of the Lyric being knocked down and replaced by something hideous either. But you can't blame the Estate Agents for advising their clients to go the most lucrative route! It's up to the Gale family to stick to their morals and go ""bollocks to that!"" and gun for the community. Regarding the old-ship - thought that was already ear-marked for a series of desirable maisonettes? Right next door to the electric palace! That'll have environmental health all over Hitchen faster than he can gather slave labour!

and another thing ! i drive from bridport to beaminster every day, what's with the drivers, usually old, that like to drive at 40mph all the way ? they hold you up when the speed limit is 60mph then break the law through melplash when the limit is 30mph. i'm quite happy to stick to 30mph as long as i can do 60mph when allowed. GET A MOVE ON !!!

I believe you can download an application form from the Bench Allocations Department of the Council. It goes something like this: Name: Shortened version of name (incase name does not fit on standard sized plaque): Date of Birth: Date of Death: Type of Death: Perceived Public Sympathy for Death (out of 10): OFFICE USE ONLY Please tick where applicable... Approved: Approved Providing Existing Bench is Stolen: Waste of Space: Never in a million years:

I think you need to upgrade to a mortar! You'll at least then have a chance to get some of the groups of chavs

Actually I did hear that the Bridport Worshipful Lodge of Free Masons had sent their High Grand Wizard on an all expense paid whistle stop tour of Europe. Maybe Pc McGregor and the High Grand Wizard are one and the same ... (or maybe they aren't, .. dunno really).

Ah, that Area Prone To Fog sign was the multi thousand pound (tax paid for) item that only works for a couple hours a year. The rare times it is illuminated is more often on a sunny summers day !! Wouldnt it be more useful if it displayed ""Person with nothing better to do, parked at Askers dual carriageway dishing out fines and 3 points"" (I'm also being sarcastic !!)..

What slave labour is that then? There are ALOT of good people in Bridport who would love to see the Electric Palace open again and are willing to give their time and effort to help. Stop critising other peoples efforts and do something more positive yourself.

I hear there is a plan to bring vultures to Bridport - they have been seen from Essex to Devon already .. just think of it, the council would only have bones to clear up in the mornings. Do vultures eat seagulls ? or just traffic wardens ?
Posted by chesilbank, on 14-11-2006 20:56,
thanks for that delboy, some of us ""younger"" drivers are trying to earn a living and being held up by sunday drivers during the week is out of order. drop your licence off at the police station and take the bus !
Posted by Ivor Bigun, on 15-11-2006 21:07,
Oh the police CAN see them Delboy,but when they weigh up wether its worth the 400 page essay of red tape just to say ""On yer bike you lot"".They decide instead just to drive by past them !!

Sorry about the spelling mistakes in my previous posts, had had a few when I went off on a rant :) ANYWAY .... I do think two more tennis courts were a bit over the top. I mean how many people actually play tennis??? An open air swimming pool with fantastic water slides and a poolside sniper range would have been just the ticket. Once again the anti-sniper contingent force their namby pamby opinions on the poor people of Bridders (and surrounding areas).. END THE EXPLOITATION AND CLASS OPPRESSION OF BRIDDERS!!! SNIPERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!!! (This message has been brought to you by SAPCPOSITWCOSR, the ""Shrill And Politically Correct Protectors of Snipers in the World Council of Sniper Rights"".)

ok goccibos, if Bridport continues to evolve as it is you will have a great choice of charity shops and no private business at all .. so where do you do your shopping? probably Argos, Currys, B&Q, Debenhams.. anyway, we've got the yobs so we are halfway to Yeovil ..might as well add the shops as well .. Do agree with you about parking, why do people all flock out between 11 and 2 and then moan about parking..mind you half of them could walk to town .... by the way Bat, I am a marksman, any more room up on the bell tower ...please.....
Posted by chesilbank, on 17-11-2006 18:24,
Why not park where you want but do the following: 1: Take off your windscreen wiper arms so the gestapo can't put a parking ticket under them. 2: Take off your wheels and put them inside your vehicle so that they can't be clamped or the car towed away !! Just don't have your best clothes on whilst doing number 2, as you may get a bit grubby !!!
