Classic moments from the Anglesey Show

Seeing as its the first day of the Anglesey Show tomorrow, its a good opportunity to remind ourselves of this classic pseudo-evangelical performance outside the Plaid tent a couple of years ago...



IWJ's body language during the first little performance says it all...

and there was I thiking this was Theatre Cymraeg auditioning the part of Uriah Heep ....

From Wikipedia:
The character is notable for his cloying humility, obsequiousness, and insincerity, .... His name has become synonymous with being a yes man.

Yes Man.
Would go down well with Bowles then.

In the spirit of celebrating things good about IOACC I submit this BBC article about council recycling in Wales:

Anglesey is in 2nd place just behind Denbighshire and 9% above target.

Well done the waste control department.

Mr Owen said: "I believe that a mayor voted in by the people of Anglesey is the only way we can really go forward with the council.

"A directly elected mayor will be someone who would speak for the whole area and would make it easier to get things done and would be responsible should things go wrong.

"It's time for Anglesey County Council to get its act together and be accountable for its actions.

"I believe an elected mayor is the best way forward for the island, bringing both stability and accountability to the people of Anglesey and motivating both councillors and our beleaguered council staff alike."

And who has Albert in mind for mayor? No other than the odious Mr Chorlton who IMHO has done as much as anyone to bring IOACC into disrepute.

"Mr Owen said: "I believe that a mayor voted in by the people of Anglesey is the only way we can really go forward with the council. "

Given Albert asked the Druid to 'come out' into the political arena, shouldn't he have shown the same deomcratic bent and first asked the people of Anglesey if a mayor is what they want, or is it just what he says that goes?

Councillini:

That's a good new word.
Somewhere between democratic and demontic.
I like it.

The odious Mr Chorlton your far to kind.

No Thanks said...

Mr Owen, oh dear.
If he hadn't been caught out with his ("Procedural errors") expenses claims, would he have paid it all back?
Mayoral-ship for Anglesey indeed, you must be Joking, we've got enough "Procedural errors" as it is thank you.

He he. I must have had god-like figures in mind as I wrote!

"Well done the waste control department."

Indeed. A pity they don't collect asbestos sheets any more; seems like an own-goal, in that people will tend to bury or dump it.

Also a pity they reject so many plastic items like yoghurt pots and so on; 'bottles only' is their philosophy, but the message we're always beaten with is 'recycle as much as you can'. We will, just as soon as you start accepting more items - and maybe hitting the eejits that produce so much waste packaging in the first place!

Alber Owen the clown, whose voice no-one listens too, people are too busy ignoring him to even consider his opinion about a Mayor. The best Mayor for this Island should be a Victim of the abuse and the political incompetence, we know who he is, he is armed to the teeth with the bullets of freedom and justice.
