I acquired a copy of the Foggy Furze Ward Councillor update and the compulsory 'My Cafe' menu alongside it. There's the picture of the Three Caballeros on the front Cranney, He who must be obeyed and what on my photocopied sheet looks like an anaemic Jabba the Hutt?
There's an article on the 'success' of the Waterfront Festival and the Hartlepool Town Show (aka Rift House Rec Burgerfest and guess the weight of the Councillor Festival) which were apparently attended by thousands. Whatever.
Under their 'Local Events' banner there's a a 'COMIC-CON' event from '10pm to 4pm'..? at the Belle Vue Centre. What that is, I have no idea, but the opening times are a puzzle.
And that was just about it. Something that did catch my eye was in the small piece on 'Street Cleanliness', with their '10 additional seasonal cleaning operatives' and 10 apprentices. Apprentices for what?
Apprenticeships used to be 4 years long related to a craft now it's slapped onto anything, so employers can claim they're providing 'apprenticeships' which once meant something substantial, now we get them in shelf stacking.
Perhaps the clue lies in the event title, who knows. Comic capers abound in these parts. A lot you could not script.

It is one of the few times the hikikomori leave their bedrooms. Instead of criticising you should be pleased to see these people are finally getting (at least for a few hours) into the sunlight instead of pandering to their Panchira fetish behind permanently closed curtains.
Carl Richardson is really into the genre and has announced he is attending. He has borrowed a cosplay costume from the SCABs, one of Mad Dogs wigs and Doc Potholes dog for the occasion and is going as his favourite character from 'The Fifth Element'.
This teaser from his Facebook page..............

:D
This has got me thinking, a point so obvious but never noticed before. They do live in their own detached little world's surrounding themselves with little outposts of Empire where they can sit safely amongst their own lackeys and acolytes avoiding coming out into the big world.
They're out again today, posting the same leaflet again. Someone press the wrong number on the photocopier?
