Sock Horror

I just had to post this article published on the gazette website.

 

http://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/blackpoolnews/Painters39-shortcut-leav...

 

It did give me quite a chuckle. However after reading it thoroughly, i again became concerned at just how fucking stupid people really can be. Please take note of the following paragraph

 

She said: "It looks so funny painted silver - a lot of the guests have
been asking me whether it is part of this year's illuminations display! 

 

Are you fucking serious????!!!! You actually think that these are illuminations??? Give me a fucking break!

 

For some reason though, i feel the need to publicise this story as much as possibe to see how far this story can get in the media

I reckon a load of silver

I reckon a load of silver socks would actually be BETTER than the illuminations.

No fucking doubt

I love the way Blackpool Council make out like this shithole of a town has a great image and this is anything other than a piece of sweetcorn embedded in a turd amongst a toilet bowl full of them...

"No-one can believe anybody could be that lazy."

Are you fucking kidding me?  You can't believe someone, most likely on Community Service, would just paint over something than go to the effort of untying it? It's more unbelievable that you're actually that nieve..

I say this, but this is the same dumbass council that ran the "No Need To Speed" and "No more deaths on Blackpools roads" campaigns.. both, obviously, utter bullshit..

Fortunately I pay Fylde Council Tax, else I'd be writing them 'anonymous' letters...

Is that THE St. Annes decorators????

years ago back in the mid 90's i used to be a painter and decorator and St. Annes decorators were infamous for their poor work and cowboy methods.
