How utterly pathetic!

Scallypool is "Captial of Culture". Why? Cos Cherie got stuck in and swung it. Progress to date. Backhanders, building projects (Scallypool is a nightmare of cranes, roadworks and "loft conversions" at present). They appoint a Director who fucks off to Australia and is said to have resigned to spend time with her family (oh yes). Council Leader resigns (before being shot). Property guys minting it.

Oh yes, Capital of Culture. What shall we do? We shall get Ringo Starr to launch it

Meanwhile the labyrinth of Culture Companies, QUANGOs, committees, (all staffed by the same masonry) are on the gravy train.

Fab 4?

A section of North Wales society tried to get in on the act by suggesting that as Liverpool is closer to us than is Cardiff Liverpool should be "adopted" as our capital. The idea was laughed out of court by the majority but there is still a substantial "underground" working toward that end. I cannot imagine why.

The 67-year-old is to appear in a concert at the new King's Dock arena

Christ I feel old!
