THAT WAS THE WEEK THAT WAS

A FRIDAY COLUMN WITH AN ALTERNATIVE TAKE ON THE WEEKS NEWS

WHERE THE HELL AM I?

To be honest, with the week being dominated with Blair’s promise to commit hari kari, there hasn’t been much news to have a go at. Let’s give it a go though!

With the local elections now over, South Tyneside didn’t produce any big surprises. The high light of the vote was when Linda Waggot thanked the people of Bede Ward for returning her to the Council. Poor old Linda then had to be reminded that she had been voted in by the Boldon Colliery Ward, and it was in Bede where she stood last year (and was unanimously rejected). So there you are then Boldoner’s, if you don’t see much of your councillor, it’s not because she was just looking for a safe seat to return to the Council gravy train, it’s probably because she’s in the wrong ward!

Last seen buying a compass and map at a camping shop and then heading of to the bank with her husband, His Royal Highness Duke Paul of Waggsville, Linda was heard to sing these words to the tune of “Any Old Iron”

“Any old ward, any old ward, any any old ward
I’ve stood in three
I’m completely out of me tree
Any any old ward”
