John Taylor wants to set the record for shoving as many poppadoms as possible in his gob.
There's gonna be a borstal breakout.
There is no option for cabbage & bacon on that poll. That is my favourite dish.
Parker-Perry the famous Homophobic little ginger fanny.
That girl Jackie from Dukinfield doing a good job for our heritage.
Dukinfield councillors always in the paper doing something good wish I could join them .
Never said the above you silly billy.

Oxfam has relief work in India? A country with a Space programme and nuclear weapons?
(By the way, what happened to the report of the Dewsbury men on terrorism charges?)
Theres more than one Roy around here I should know .
Why is it that John Taylor always runs to the borough solicitor when you send him a letter?
Ex Para
Why dont we all go for a curry at the Indian Ocean. We can sit Liam next to SPP. TonyDJ next to Cllr Bell and Roy West next to Cllr Taylor. It would be an evening of fine food and political posturing. Who's up for it?
You know ex-para, I could go for that!
I reckon we're all pretty mature enough to behave ourselves.
I'm up for it!
can i be your waitress for the evening?
When are Liam and Parker-Perry married?
I would be up for it, I just wouldn't trust any Labour councillor to put their share to the bill!
