| To paraphrase: " we have no party political heavyweights so lets make somebody not party affiliated mayor". I wonder who he had in mind? Other than that it was rubbish but had I not looked at it I would never have seen this: - Hermes 7744477 wrote:
- "RATIONS: sailor." == "Give me one good reason why the slaves should have holiday this year after all all they have been to me is trouble all year. What's say I yea yeah in I." || "Plymouth has no political heavyweights – so should we go for an elected Mayor" == "Referring to the question in angle angel all raised by my imaginary other half on the other side may I in second of opinion held at bar in balance – if none raise objection shall we continue on as last year in our unelected privilege in minor detour." *** In summary, as to whether in endeavour I am well within all realm or whether I am contesting well above my weight, in all, in measure, does every line lay in balance. Freemasonry in the Victorian era may have attempted in re-tell in tale a say of, "In ballot, black-balled. Not saying this man has shown me such offence, not saying this man has raised such objection to our lines, not saying that at all so as to encompass all whom I decide this year is no longer in friend to all and by that I mean me, Freemason that I am, Freemasonry". Church of Scientology may have attempted the lie, "In vote know. You've been spotted paying too much attention to our lines and peering in to our business like nobody's business what's say we club together pull round and vote out our source of trouble after all the wisdom in our line is kill them all" . The year of our Lord two-thousand-and-fourteen. Although again and in gain own in yearly game Freemasonry and Church of Scientology may attempt to state, "given the absence of presence of any indication of the presence of Jesus Christ God Satan what's say shall we pay respects to our god of money using our knowledge of the Christian Bible as a tool to meld our enemies and to blame another god in example all". I am not my brother's keeper. I am not known merely by the company I keep. I am I. Yes the temple in the desert was a movable shrine in defence of all faith and all faithed. As per my examples, Freemasonry, Church of Scientology, this year I take you both in lieu. A.'.A.'. Argenteum Astrum

- ride with the three witches to the thing. Yesterday on the winds of wisdom the Herald attempted to re-tell the story of an ancient 'god' in divide and conquer and division in lot, with a re-quoting of facts and figures re-written in the wisdom of the modern day [English] as an imaginary re-telling of the greatest story another way – the stocks and stores of a naval vessel being divided amidst and amongst the crew to imagine a conception of what each would each per day yet without recourse to recipes nor broths nor which sat at any table in feast – as though in summation and as warning to all decks of a day of reckoning when all receive reward in tide and tithe and Naval tradition, often misquoted as the Queen's rules, the local press attempting to state that now is the time to settle matters of money before the table of Ragnarök, that is a subtext within the article of, "please place lots of advertising in the newspaper to make more money in the run-up to Christmas and the New Year" (a thinly veiled attempt to declare 'war' on everything, divide the spoils, spoil the deriders in poured opinion, and dispense with those in disagreeing position, divvying up the rest to rest or death; politics being as is). However, in evident, in clear, this year there is to be no ransom over money. In today's editorial dispatches we see a barbarian standing-up and attempting in written word to proclaim the various facts of engagements, wed-locks, and other matters of human biological and organic nature, sexual, and sensual, desire, as though as a 'sex god' before the table of Ragnarök. However, in evident, in clear, this year the matters of love, sex, are in being. I ride with the three witches to the thing. A.'.A.'. Argenteum Astrum

ONE OF TWO - I suppose I should help Chris Webb out here as it seems that being a busy embryonic political heavyweight and rubbing shoulders with the movers and shakers means he's struggling to find time for this column. Chris opines that Exeter have parked their tanks on the business and retail, and not to mention airport, lawn we need to find some other Devonian niche to occupy, a USP that's different from the County's capital. Let's hope that Exeter don't poach or headhunt Chris Dawson eh Chris? While Chris Dawson stops his Rolls Royce Wraith to collect dead car batteries discarded on the curb, your ramblings about Pasties come in for a battering. Chris says we should promote ourselves as the home of Sport and Leisure? I guess that could go with the mooted Cruise Liner terminal to bring tourists and money to Plymouth, with guides pointing out that the lighthouse on The Hoe was previously where the Eddystone they passed by earlier was. Once ashore they could be taken on boats to Burgh Island and to Fowey to see du Maurier country. Would those moneyed passengers on the Cruise Liners be able to see Gog and Magog, the Chalk Giants to be laid in chalk in front of the Citadel? If they can't they would look good in the aerial photos for the Britain's Ocean BMW City, or Britain's Ocean MINI City. Besides looking good in aerial photos they would provide another open air latrine for the city's Seagull population. If we're to be the County's capital of sport and leisure that excels at being twixt Moor and Sea and revel in our rich nautical history surely we need those Diving boards on The Hoe foreshore don't we Chris? What are the chalk giants that others online have opined Plymouth is misappropriating for our own airbrushed photogenic misdeeds going to cost? £35K? How much of a dent would £35K make for a pair of diving boards on the foreshore? Those that are keen on the Giants could be appeased by naming each of the Diving boards after them. The artist's impression looks like something you'd see on the funnel of a warship or RFA so could just as easily be cut into sheet metal and attached to the Diving boards. I don't want the Diving boards looking like giant sandwich board men so other important facts relevant to the history of Plymouth could be cut, secreted into the structures? Little details that allude to Plymouth's history that aren't noticed unless pointed to? Hidden little hints like the Letterboxing on Dartmoor? When we have world class Gin Palaces made in Plymouth and Councillor Chaz Singh recently attending the Graduation Ceremony for PCAD we must be able to procure some really good looking Diving boards that would look as good in the Plymouth promotional materials as the chalk giants? We used to have the RNEC at Manadon. We built HMS Plymouth. Surely it's within our ability to design some Diving boards that look as good as the Millau suspension bridge in France? When we have a painted wooden figurine of Brunel in the middle of Pennycomequick roundabout surely it's not beyond our ability to design some stunning looking Diving boards? It seems Thronegate led to Chris Webb's mate James Brent taking over the reigns at the University of Plymouth. £150,000 for some snazzy chairs to star in some promo video for the university? Could we get a pair of snazzy Diving boards for The Hoe for £150K? Does the university have a Diving society? I don't mean soccer here Chris. A pair of Diving boards on The Hoe would get soiled by Seagulls overheard rather like the incomer chalk giants, but then again so would the Cruise Liners bringing the cash laden tourists. Those visitors bought to us by The Sound won't be able to see the Life Centre will they? But they'd be able to see two stunning, otherworldly looking Diving boards on The Hoe foreshore.
GAWker | October 20 2014, 11:08PM
TWO OF TWO - Would the Diving boards also be something for those arriving on the cross channel ferries to see? Would they be visible to the crowds that mill around The Hoe for the annual Fireworks Championship? Would people attending The Hoe for the graduation ceremonies of their children and siblings take a detour to check the fabulously well designed and photogenic Diving boards? Imagine Chris Webb and Councillor Chaz Singh giving their smart phones to another so they can have their 'Selfies' taken next to the Diving boards? As a proficient Twitter user and proponent of getting behind a cause and a crowd, does Chris Webb think there could be any Synergy between some stunning looking Diving boards on The Hoe foreshore and Tinside Lido? You know that Tinside Lido that recently featured on a Royal Mail stamp? Swimming and Diving don't go hand in hand? Recently The Herald has covered the Ecover Blue Mile event in The Sound. We had the Breakwater Swim that was postponed due to the weather. Surely Diving boards would go just as well with those? The locals could use the Diving boards. Students could use the Diving boards. Tourists could use the Diving boards. Tombstoners could be directed towards the Diving boards. So we have the Ecover Blue Mile and a section 59 telling people that they're not allowed within 50 metres of the shore unless chased into it by an officer of the law? At least give the Tombstoners an alternative venue. 'The taxpayers of Plymouth have paid a lot of money for those Diving boards, if you choose not to use them and risk life and limb here expect to get done for it'? If Tombstoners want to perform to the crowd, just as some politicians and aspiring MPs do, let them do it in front of the Plymouth foreshore Diving board Webcam. You don't need your mates or a coach to critique your dive into The Sound, you can watch it yourself when you get home from the Plymouth foreshore Diving board webcam. Those on the Cruise ships could take a peek from their cabins to check the weather to decide if they want to come ashore or not. You know those colourful fibreglass fish that were recently auctioned off? Imagine the same people making double or treble sized fibreglass models of Rūta Meilutytė, Sarah Barrows, Tonya Couch, Sharron Davies and Tom Daley stood around that the base of the Diving boards. Would they need to be removed for winter of just protected by Spinal Tap like Perspex shells? Imagine how good Tom Daley's abs would look in double or treble size! We could have statues of real, living Plymouth giants. We could have huge false idols of Plymothians that have achieved! Those that have been somewhere, participated and achieved! Chris can take a whole column to explain why the Diving boards are a non-starter if he likes. Chris doesn't need to pay me if I've bailed him out here and run with his idea, but I'll settle from a free used car from Specialist Vehicles. As I like working collaboratively and I am not a stranger to compromise I'll concede that we can call the Diving boards Ivor and Ron if someone wants to throw out Gog and Magog with the bilgewater. When politicians have been derided for presentation over substance since before 1997 I think the people of Plymouth may want a bit more than beliefs and sound bites. 'Carlsberg don't do Diving boards….. I am not on Twitter. It should be obvious why.

I'm not so sure Mr Seadog. If he can turn his natural oratory skills into the written word we may very well have our own Janner Shakespeare. Where's that too then |
