Of course we're a cynical bunch, we've been griping about Accy for years.
Then some new kid on the block comes from nowhere to announce a super new initiative, then goes away, nothing, zilch, nada from you.
The thread would have died a death on its first post if I hadn't added cynicism to it.
Only now after the hard work of building up interest amongst members do you return to tell us of massive amounts of 'passion, energy & drive'.
Is this because the above attributes are delegated to others so that not only is the ball kept rolling but also to get the damned ball moving in the first place?
Remember you're thread was dead in the water because of your lack of energy to return and keep plugging.
P.S. who's server are you using to host your website, I believe there's plenty of room on Hynburns since their last website died a death.
P.P.S. At last time of looking, although you take advantage of AccyWeb to put a link to your website, you have not reciprocated by putting a link to our site on there, very impolite!

Re: C.a.t.c.h
I heard him on the radio this morning ... he said broadway needed powerwashing .. to get rid of the chewing gum and bird .... on there to make it look better ... Claire Pritchard said that is being done wk commencing 12th august .. it has been in the works programme since feb ... then he said to attract more shops ie national chains to accrington eg next and Debenhams .. theyre not going to come to accrington .. no 1 they have their shops in Blackburn .. it would be too close .. no 2 how many people live in accy .. compared to Blackburn .. why do they fixate on getting a next .. will people be more attracted to accy because we have a next ..
by the way if you listen to the programme .. it started about 8.20am they were on for about 5 mins ....

So far, how appropriate!
No, PM's even though requested, no answers to simple questions, no venturing from your own thread to show your mind can deal with more than a singular topic and no real input that gives us much enthusiasm.
I've already said that I like the idea, no doubt the majority of the site, like the idea, but are we being drummed into a fervour of enthusiasm?
Perhaps the heater on the air product is turned to full?
Please prove me wrong, give me and perhaps others a reason to believe.

Re: C.a.t.c.h
Belief comes from within sir......I'm on here for one reason and one reason only, that is to see how many people share our campaigns objectives and are willng to commit time and effort into improving OUR Accrington. Attitudes, standards and aspiration need to change from everyone in the town including its residents before we will ever move forward, negativity is a self limiting prophecy. I will continue on my journey of self discovery and will contiue to enthuse myself with the belief in the objectives of the Campaign....improvement through engagement. Hopefully we can generate some enthusement about OUR town.
If you want to come along for the ride that's fantastic.....if not well "hey ho"
I will afford you your cynicism and mistrust, after all your entitled to your views as you've seen people like me "Come and Go"
Just one parting thought afore I go though..... What came first, the chicken or the egg ? (That should generate some stimulating and witty responses for the longevity of the thread and your continuing mirth ) ;-0
Many Thanks for time and your continued cynicism !
I hope I will win you over one day, until then......I will keep plugging away. Cheers and all the very best !
Mark Brown.

Only on here for your own gains, they being bringing you to the front of some form of publicity stunt? By the way stop fawning I'm not a Sir, I'm a member of the one and only AccyWeb.

I don't think the members of this site need to be told that, they have seen similar to you come and go, though without the added publicity.

So you are now wishing to be a public figure and at the same time contemplate your own navel?
There is already enthusiasm about our town, if you knew AccyWeb you would know this.

I may want to come along for the ride if it is actually going to take me somewhere, however if like a kiddies ride at the fairground and you are just going to go around in circles with nothing to offer, then no thanks, (still not answered many questions have you Oh, positive one? Here's one, can you explain what your plans are that will motivate us off our backsides?).

As a reply to one inane question, here's another, 'What has that got to do with the price of fish?'.

The cynicism continues because you have yet to say anything!

This is a quote from an earlier post, just thought I'd add it because you seem to be saying goodbye.
Now, may I suggest you put up or shut up.
So far you have offered nothing but pic's in the Obbo'.

Re: C.a.t.c.h
In my book the word Sir is a bloody insult, I DON'T like that word and never have done, it were the so called sirs that led to the deaths of 100's of Accy Lads in WW1, as the Germans said, they were LIONS led by DONKEYS.

I must partly disagree with you on this point. Yes, the General Staff and most senior officers of the First World War era proved to be incompetent, as they were in previous conflicts and subsequently. However, the Lieutenants, Captains and Majors, and no doubt some of the Half Colonels, most, if not all of whom disagreed with the orders they received and should therefore be viewed in quite a different light than the senior officers.
The discipline of the British Military was, and is to this day, is to follow the orders they receive.

that alone puts you head and shoulders above our MP
he dosnt give a stuff about the town were just too thick or stoopid to be given consideration on anything too serious and should be greatfull for him making all the big decisions for us using his vast knowledge gained as a printer
i smoked a powerfull joint in amsterdam,took some pictures of prostitutes and got mistaken for a terrorist in barcelona
id say that makes me more qualified than him to make a decision on the EU
good luck with your efforts im not sure whats been hinted at but if this is some ploy to make mugs of teh people of accy then taht would be a shame becaus eit was only a few weeks back i was mentioning how the people of accrington of old all banded together and built accrington victoria hospital and what a shame it is teh town wouldnt even dream of doing that in todays times.Hats off to you if you are genuine mate which until evidence saying otherwise is presented i will assume you are
