We have a Residents Association round here which publishes a Newsletter every month. I normally skim through it as it's quite amusing but this month they have excelled themselves! It is hysterical and it makes me proud I moved here! For example:
Fighting councillors.
"Both Councillors who were involved in the fisticuffs in the Town Hall have at last been demoted."
NO to Sheep!
"In September Councillors on the Planning Committee found an application concerning a rare-breed sheep farm very funny, made baa-ing noises throughout the application itself (reducing the applicant to tears) and then refused permission."
Casinos.
"We are concerned that the Council is pressing for eight regional casinos in the area. Presumably to being ruin within reach of the poorest."
RUIN! Ruin?! How dramatic!
Whoever writes this newsletter has the funniest turn of phrase, and the thought of a load of Councillors baa-ing at a poor old sheep farmer made me laugh so much it reduced me to tears. It is a monthly rant at noisy teenagers, bad drivers, people not mowing their lawns enough - you name it, they complain about it. You can subscribe to be a member for £1 a year - or £10 for life! For the sheer entertainment value I'm subscribing rightaway. Anyone with me?
