I've heard that the council are making the new harbour master wear a white shirt so it will be easier to identify when ""his"" assistant starts stabbing him in the back

the peasants are indeed revolting... but don't nearly ming as much as the filthy rich. Apparently JR can't swim that well, so he's going to be working in the 'Harbour Lights' kiosk -(forfilling a lifelong ambition)

I had heard the the George had gone downhill since the Undertaker had taken it over, well after having visited the said establishment recenmtly I can confirm that it is a pale shadow of its former self. It will always be the regulars that make it what it is but some sign of life from the management would be good. We now have a bloke that can hardly string a sentence together and a woman who appears never to have seen a pub from the business end of the bar. The menu has gone to pot and little labels announcing coffee and a cake for OAPs would better be pløaced in a west bay kiosk than in what was once a great place to eat. I overheard an very funny anecdote from two of the local characters who drink in there with one saying to the other that the new people had been brought in as trouble shooters to which the other replied ""well best they find some one who is a better shot then"" Only in the George, priceless. Rumour has it they will be gone before the years end

Back a few months ago, we heard the rumour that Jacqui was leaving...then everyone was rumoured as saying they would boycott the place, then the enevitable REALITY is that everyone just went back in there! That's loyalty for you! £3.10 for a pint? I'm off to Notting Hill!

The George was never the same since they cleaned (scrapped) the nicotine off the walls (early 90's?)and everone realised there were paintings on the walls! All the drinkers go to the Hope now!!

Rumour has it that the excitable Ros Kayes is against eco freindly low cost housing. She will be running for the ultra right conservatives in the next election

MP Oliver (i don't live here) Letwin is in charge of Camerons policy review. In his spare time he is a non executive director for NM Rothchild Corporate Finance whose current business includes ""ongoing"" work advising on the £2.8bn restructuring and funding by goverment of the Post Office network. This is basically privitisation by the back door and as a net result closure of many rural post offices. When Letwin presented a petition to parliment in December from his west Dorset constituents demanding that the goverment help maintain rural post offices it is not known if he found time to pass on our views to his paymasters Rothchilds. Me thinks not.

I've lived in Bridport for most of my life but never done the Brewery tour (too busy testing the finished results). Can someone: 1. Tell me if the tour is any good and 2. Is it true that the pipes strapped to the bridge over the Brit by the water mill carry spring water to make the beer? (and presumably not linked to the toilets in the Leisure Centre which makes the ""bog standard"" (haha) BB)

Posted by Rustic, on 23-09-2007 07:46,

I have done the brewery tour and it is just like their beer, rubbish!

Posted by Rustic, on 23-09-2007 11:47,

After completely decimating the busy local trade I can confirm that I heard a bloke say that the ""undertaker"" and his morbid missis are, at long last, leaving the George. Hurrah Hurrah Hurrah, My only fear is that the gormless Palmer brood will put in someone else totally unsuited to the pub trade. Oi Palmers!! I don't know if you visit this site but a good starting point for a landlord and landlady is that they actually like people and have the ability to hold a conversation of longer than three words.

...there is no comments box attached to the Police Ball article, so confirm or deny; Am I the only person who translates ""Police Ball"" as ""Drunken over-paid idiot gathering, where freshwater staff and entertainers are treated like scum and, at the end of it all, conduct a major (and futile) cover-up operation to stop the stories escaping about the massive drunken BRAWL that generally follows in the carpark?"" I suppose ""Police Ball"" is more catchy.

Sounds like you have some first hand experience of ""Balls gone By"" Carlito, but I attended the police ball last year as the charity /comedy auctioneer. (I have to be honest and say that the charity bit went OK but the comedy wasn't too well received by the majority.) The night as a whole was a great success and to see the Sidekicks in full swing was a joy. The dancing police video put together by Andy Hawthorn was superb as was the big screen live camerawork elevating Shaun and the boys to supergroup status. I think Scott McGregor had done a fine job of putting together a good night out that raised a fair few bob for ""local"" charities and good causes, and based on last year I could recommend it to anyone. I have never been a fan of the black tie cummerbund style of dress for men but the ladies looked awesome in the posh frocks and I think the only way that Scott could improve the night would be to have everyone come in fancy dress as Police Officers, now that would be funny. (Don’t forget that at the ball there were only about 3 serving police officers as the other 2 were on duty) Everyone I met was cordial and well behaved, the bar crew didn't seem harassed and I certainly saw no brawls in the car park although I did have to leave at about midnight to attend the annual meeting of Smugglers, Burglars and Badger Baiters which by tradition is held on the same night as the PB for obvious reasons.

Er Carlito I hate to have to be the one to point this out to you but the article about the Police Ball is advertising an event (last years very good by the way) and it would appear that the norm is that there isn't a comment box for gigs. What would we all say anyway? ""Can't go as I am trying out a new knitting pattern that night"" As a thought oh mighty Editor how about a page dedicated for reviews of events that people have seen, restaurants eaten in, that sort of thing. You could call it ""A Night At The... and leave us to fill in either, Evershot Hall, Art Centre, Loders Fete, Pub, Comedy, Cinema, etc etc

Posted by Editor, on 02-10-2007 08:08,

Dear Rustic The team at Bridport Radio would welcome reviews from our readers, they are usually posted under the existing page headings (so a restaurant review goes under ""Eating Out"")kk? - Bring it on

There I go, painting all of the balls with the same brush! Bentley, not that I wish you to blurt out my ID in surprise and alarm, but I was at this meeting you describe wasn't I? YEEES... Having drank enough booze that evening to cause my brain to divorce my body, I can't for the life of me remember why I was there...but I can remember you arriving, and gesturing wildly about the flat response at the ball, before slumping at the bar in comic defeat. It may have been the first time I heard the ""Jack Russell"" joke. A true classic.

Posted by Bentley, on 03-10-2007 03:30,

Ah yes Carlito I remember it well, I also remember why you were there and despite your prolific intake of moonshine that night you did well to last the distance as there were only 5 of us left at the end. The two chair-people (wink wink, say no more) yourself and your adorable companion and myself with only a serving lad to be privvy to our discussions. I would show photos but Boots wouldnt print them

Posted by tuzo, on 03-10-2007 12:32,

what a civilized conversation (C45 B46) guess you have known each other for years eh? Oh what it would be like to be in ""your gang"" (I can only dream of such heady intellectual feastings!) on the subject of the police..(not the ball) why do they call us by our first names sometimes?(when we all know we have not been properly introduced!!)

Posted by Bentley, on 04-10-2007 09:28,

As far as I am concerned you can dream on you dainty fop. I think Rustic on cull the gull maybe right

Posted by Carlito, on 04-10-2007 10:04,

Tuzo, this is no ""gang"" you tiresome wench. Judging by your envy, it's obvious you haven't quite grasped the concept of ""friendship"", which comes as no surprise. It is odd that you use this forum (which is obviously your only contact with humans) to interrupt conversations like an ill-timed fart. No, actually an ill-timed fart is potentially more amusing. And yes, you are right. I have known Bentley for about 20 years.

Posted by tuzo, on 04-10-2007 12:44,

If these are the only ""humans"" I meet, then who the hell are the others? Your leg was being pulled (carlito 49) but it came away in my hand, what do you want me to do with it? I will sit back and read the unending, unedited squirts of monologue from you on all the many subjects you have an opinion on. Maybe your good humor will return,and maybe there is a policeman out there who can answer my previous question? (we were talking about the police ball?)

Posted by Charis Matic, on 18-10-2007 12:22,

I've been away for 10 days and come back to the hot gossip that on the 4th October our local rag published a photo of the rugby team with newly sponsored kit and an appendage? I am sure that I could find at least another 19 girlfriends, who after careful viewing would be only too willing to sponsor looser fitting shorts for the rest of the team.
