As its a merry new year ting,
get rid of a certain "deprived" 80 year old useless councillor for Golf Green.... ...ggrrrr
Well as we long term sufferers of old timers now know our old timer is now King of the Castle in TDC`s jolly up meetings.
Must say that the new chain of office has made his 30year old suit look like new in dark blue.....
Anyway...not sure if i should post this link...but read through it for a better look at IN-Tends asperational material for OUR Town..
Funny how they offer the reader of their website a variety of jobs and at the bottom of the advert say, to find out more about these fixed term contracts visit the website.
Funny thing is...For exceptional candidates there may be scope for negotiation,
right next to a picture of a huge cruise liner....
Any spaces left for the new (soon to be ex?) head of Suffolk Council @ £240 K a year...well handy to pop off on a cruise, while "in the office" on a lap top...
As it's all mod cons Ivan is the TM fitted with CCTV?
satellite TV would be better amemity...lol
I installed my neighbours large dish and free to air chanels reciever
100`s of chanels, depending what group of satellites you point it at..
The TM could advertise as the best chanel 5 reception for miles,
and both BBC & ITV regional variational news chanels running on a loop, as visiters could catch up with local to home news, to make them "feel at home" while enjoying their 20p spend...
I was thinking the other way around, you know when a great personage enters the portals, on come the cameras, bit like watching Felixstowe docks on their live feed.
Do you get a Fanfare as you pull the chain (cor I know what chain I'd like to pull VERY tightly , near a blue suit ) or would you rather call it a 'Royal Flush'.
I expect even the mirrors above the hand basins say "You are the cleverest of them all "just like in Snow White.

Sorry, yet again amenity, my bedazaled brain will need a few days rest & recoup before,
normal service will be resumed next week...........lol.
But the idea of a court jester only activated motion cam trained to accept & zero in on just the one person sounds just brillient.
It would be like a DNA footprint switch.............lol.

As ever young Lin, brillient post..
small point though, would you like to "adjust your dress" infront of one of the T M mirrors, dont think i`d like to, even if i wore a dress.......lol
(thought i`d get that one in before "someone else did madam)
The very thought of secret cctv behind one way glass, just "keeping an eye" on the latrines patrionages, sets my nerves all a tingle.
Its public knowledge that Chairman Mao has given his OK for Tin - Tins army to be equiped with night vision goggles.........
The reason it was granted (so its rumoured) was because an "idiot" was wearing beer goggles at the time, and got confused with night goggles, but was too "confused" to admit his mistake afterwards...(so they say)
Back to the 100 Ideas thingy.
How about ,all along the greensward up to Holland on sea ,cutting all the grass into grass mazes (s'okay ,you can all come out from behind the sofas now ,MAZES not Mayzies ........phew !!!).
I saw something on a small scale at Hunstanton and at Leeds Castle ,the youngsters loved them.
Mind you ,if the Council really wanted to go to town BIG style ,and not too expensive ,how about planting mazes all along the and making it Britains Biggest maze ,think of the tourists !!! Get your ice cream van out Ivan ...we're in business !!!!!!!!!I do get these strange ideas sometimes ,remind me to tell you about the collapsable letter box cages
Well ,having had a few dogs in my time .I decided I was fed up with my letters being eaten before I got to read them.
Now ,my front door opens inwards against a wall ,so I could not put one of those letterbox cages on as I wouldn't be able to open the door fully .So ,I thought ,what about a folding one that collapses when the door is opened ,by a string going up .over the door attatched to the frame.That way ,when the door is shut ,the box is open ,but when you come through the door ,the string pulls the box to close upwards ,thus allowing you room to get in.
There you go Ivan ,now you know what I think up in the small wee hours.
Probably been invented ,but never found one .Husband thinks I'm daft ,so does my neighbour who is eldrly and is finding it a stuggle to ride his bike(I came up with a sail solution for this problem ) .
Oh I have dozens of inventions in this blonde head
Luckily with my lovely dog I have now ,this problem has disappeared as I have taught him to bring the mail up (and the paper) and place it on the coffee table ready for when I read them. Though it has not stopped him from eating my shoes ,the hall carpet ,hall walls ,various clothes ,balls and undies.Not forgetting the wonderous contents of my recycling bin.
Oh young Lin,
your remote string pulled collapsable letter cage is actually a good idea.
perhaps it could be made with a coiled spring along one of its edges that allows the
cage to collapse when it comes into contact with the wall ?.
Your other sail-bike idea had me smiling at the idea i saw on an old top gear show on telly when Mr Slow (James May) fitted a sail to his triumph herald, made it water tight (he thought) and tried to sail accross the channel at Dover in it..
He nearly sank........lol.
I think you neighbour may need to read up on rechargeable bikes..
To a dog, the treasures of a recycling bin are immense.
my two bi*ches (the jack russells naughty), just jump out of their basket at the first sound of an empty plastic bottle.
not only do they unscrew the tight caps, then chew them into tiny pieces all over my carpets (good old dyson hoover to the rescue)
but for some reason try to eat the bottle tops off..
( i must remember to feed them).........ha..ha..ha..
In reality, both them and my other queen of the castle, piddles the cat, are most fussy eaters........pets, who would have them eh..
P.S. "Well ,having had a few dogs in my time"
see, i never made a joke about that, did I.
(did drive a cab round Romford for years though)...lol
Had to post this picture.I have been waiting days for my bid to be the highest on ebay ,and ,whopee ,I got it.
It's the chidrens boating lake at what is now the Leisure Centre .In the background is County High School .
The post mark is 22/8/1930 .
Even Jaywick had a boating lake before its own railway line, both long gone..
As our revamped lifestyles tingy has sprouted cracks already (not just the management either)
if it was erected over an old lake, how was the lake fed...
no jokes about unstability please.....lol.
When i was a child (still am but older) and living in NAM (dagenham) we had a most marvellous place right next to the railway between Becontree and Upney stations, called Mayesbrook Park.
It had 2 boating lakes and a most regal structure on the first one where the old "parky" used to sit and survey all his kingdom, and if he caught you cycling (not allowed then) he would blow his whistle with fury, then chase you on his bike.
The parky has gone along with the regal structure, but the lakes remain.
I am sitting looking at a London A to Z with pages open that covers
Chadwell Heath down to Barking, across to Becontree and Rush Green down to Dagenham East.
In these two pages of them areas, it shows 21 parks and playing fields and 11 ponds or lakes.
I had forgot all about them untill i opened this A to Z map...
I had lived in some of them areas at times in my life, and had driven around that area as a cabbie for years...
5 years of living in the calm of my part of Jaywick, while awaiting the latest regen thinking makes you forget things easy....
Anyone remember my idea of letting the grass on the greensward grow and cut mazes (no ,not cor salt and vinegar) , in them?.
Well ,I found this one ,do you reckon TDC would go for it ?????. sorry it's such a small pic but knowing you lot ,it will get googled.I found it in a 500 days out in England Book (funnily enough Clacton does not feature) that we picked up for a fiver in Tesco.
Called star Trek Maze in Yorks
