The Popular Front for the Liberation of the C.P.S.A
MONDAY
ROUND AND
ABOUT
by Judas Iscariot
Bournemouth was unusually sombre this weekend as all factions plotted
their next moves in the light of ALAN ENGLANDS challenge to the presidential
elections, which incidentally has prevented the release of all the other
national election results, not to mention the Rule 15 votes which are
taken at Conference. The Moderati, who had stacked up the bubbly in anticipation
of yet another comfortable victory are now facing the awesome task of
yet another contest in a four horse race. And ENGLAND is certain to draw
some votes away from MARION - which could just tip the balance in favour
of her hated rival, Mrs. JARVIS.
Moderati campaign managers believe that they had seen off the challenge
of UNITY, the new RED bloc, while at the same time buying the usual number
of EX-LEFT crawlers, such as Sir ROY d’LEWIS, to ensure their continued
dominance.
But despite all the woes, the full-timers and their hangers-on did their
best to keep the publicans of this fair resort happy. On Saturday night,
a group of thirsty Scots, led by Deputy General Secretary, MARTIN BOYLE
descended on the LAGUNA HOTEL - a ghastly dump in the middle of nowhere.
The Scots descended on the COCKTAIL BAR - driving the respectable clientele
out with their scintillating conversation, which was followed by a rendition
of obscene rugby songs. BOYLE staggered back to his hotel, the HIGHCLIFFE,
but had to be carried up the stairs by two hefty porters and tipped onto
his bed. He then rediscovered his thirst and proceeded to empty the mini-bar
of a further £40.00 worth of strong spirit.
Talking of which, Standing Orders felt a bit peckish on Saturday and ordered
6 coffees, some sandwiches and a vegetarian omelette for ENID from the
hotel where they are all entrenched. Two lackeys from HIGHCLIFFE duly
arrived at the BIC with the said coffees, some minute sandwiches and a
microscopic omelette - all for a generous £37.50.
No, you haven’t seen a ghost, the reptilian features of PETER THOMASON
have been seen around town. The retired playboy full-time official has
been acting as Mrs JARVIS’s election agent over the past few weeks
much to the dismay of his former chums now in the DEMOCRATIC LEFTOVERS,
a RAMSBLADDER front. This enraged the Moderati who booted him off the
CIVIL SERVICE PENSIONERS ALLIANCE in revenge. In any case PETER’S
experience of elections is somewhat limited - when he ran against BARRY
in 1992 he obtained a pitiful vote, coming a poor third of three.
NOOKS and
CRANNIES
by Barabbas
Its seems we’ll never see the back of him. Fellow thespian Coun.
ARTHUR NEWELL returns again to collect his GOLD BADGE - he is one of few
TORY councillors to save their seats in last week’s slaughter. If
you see a silver haired pensioner with a very loud voice congratulate
him on his win and tap him for a drink. If this doesn’t work, just
go up to ALBERT ASTBURY and say you voted for him - it never fails.
ALBERT’S new found militancy unfortunately has not extended to his
branch. During last November’s one day strike only one person was
absent - Albert himself - and he was in fact attending the DTUS office
in London at the time.
Sir ROY, who expects to receive his NEC seat as a suitable reward for
a lifetime of treachery, was more sober as he appears to have mislaid
his chequebook. By the way, you may wonder why the old boy is looking
more dapper these days. MARION has given him a number of suits -only slightly
worn - and his OXFAM collection has been relegated to the cupboard, at
least for the time being.
Every cloud has a silver lining - or so says LIZ EDGE exiled to Yorkshire
for her sterling service to the Union she has dedicated her life to. In
order to bump up her relocation expenses she has installed every type
of burglar alarm she could lay her hands on for her new home in YORK -
which she claims is the crime capital of the North. LIZ, age 53, comes
from BALHAM.
ROBIN UNWORTHY has at last got here. He came down with his branch chair,
GARY EASTON who was driving his brand new Fiat. They broke down outside
Southampton and had to be towed to Bournemouth where they spent the next
four and half-hours trying to find a Fiat garage. Six are listed in the
local Yellow Pages. They were towed around five by the obliging AA man.
The first was now a Mazda dealership, the second was shut, the third had
now switched to Toyota, the fourth was shut and the fifth had ceased trading.
The final one, which did have the spares, turned out to be 200 yards from
the hotel they are staying at.

The main issue of the week is, of course, the rerun of the Presidential
elections caused by the heroic actions of Alan England in trying to end
the ungodly dominance of Women who have run our Union for far too long.
Other reasons for supporting his candidacy include the cost savings achieved
by having him as representative for all the equivalent posts in NUCPS.
Presumably the two Unions can reach agreement on sharing one set of expenses.

TUESDAY
ROUND &
ABOUT
by Judas Iscariot
The baleful shadow of ALAN ENGLAND hovers over Bournemouth - putting a
damper on the festivities planned to celebrate yet another year of Moderati
control. And though the jollities will continue as planned an air of uncertainty
hangs over the HIGHCLIFFE. No one knows the election results, no one knows
how many votes ENGLAND will get or even whether the re-run will be the
end of the saga. And we are left with the bizarre spectacle of the Moderati
upholding the principle of no recourse to the TORY COURTS (a sharp contrast
to the 70s) while the assorted REDS defend the worthy challenger’s
right to use them, in their conference rags.
Meanwhile these earth-Shattering events have not been entirely ignored
by the world’s press whose sole in the PRESS ROOM on Monday consisted
of the PFLCPSA, RED TAPE, the NEW WORKER and nil the usual thirsty full-timers.
MILITANT’S ace reporter was eventually admitted into the BIC, but
only after his NUJ card had been checked. And even then he was segregated
from the rest, being confined to a cupboard at the back of the Hall. The
Press Association promised to send some-one but he didn’t turn up
and the BOURNEMOUTH ARGUS said they were too busy and suggested that AMANDA
send them a press release. ROY JONES the drunken bum who writes for the
MORNING STAR is threatening to show his face and punish BARRY’S whisky
and Sir WOY is covering the event for the BIG ISSUE.
Everything changes and nothing changes. JOHN ELLIS was spied in the observer's
gallery in the morning. Most people had already forgotten who he was,
and he didn’t buy any drinks for those who did remember him. Don’t
bother to hunt him out today - he’s off to NUCPS for the duration
And PETER THOMASON was a false alarm - much to the dismay of all the bars
and drinking clubs in Dorset - RAMSBLADDER has made it clear that he will
not be welcome at the BIC this year.
TONY ROUSE bought a round for some delegates he had never seen before
- a fact witnessed by several delegates who were injured in the rush.
Was anyone in the hall yesterday afternoon? JULIE BREMNER, Maff SOCIALIST
WANKERS PARTY, delivered her impassioned support for the censure contained
in Motion 156 during the debate on motion 175 - an inocuous motion on
ADP allowances and starting pay on promotion - which the moving branch
had to remit with the full support of Conference. She still got a round
of applause for her mistimed and irrelevant attack on the NEC. No one
cared.
****************************************************************************
NOOKS & CRANNIES
by Barabbas
Mrs. JARVIS is holding court at the HERMITAGE, which she block booked
eleven months ago for the sole purpose of depriving the Moderati of their
usual watering hole. Unfortunately she has had to struggle to fill it
- and she really would have been in trouble if THOMASON hadn’t stumped
up the three grand deposit in the first place.
The DEMOCRATIC LEFTOVERS, a bolthole for the likes of LEWIS and LEECH
while their application to join the Moderati is being considered, produced
their first Conference bulletin on Monday. But it was touch and go. The
original was hurriedly withdrawn after Welsh followers objected to offensive
remarks to their Celtic nation. Their tatty leaflets eventually came out
five hours late - which didn’t matter as no-one reads them.
And the BIC is pulling out all stops for Conference this year. Praise
is being heaped on their catering facilities; the sumptuous sandwiches
only a few days old; the speedy service at the bars; and the reasonable
prices of all the beverages. Their latest wheeze has been to demand a
£700 weekly charge for stands at Conference - which gives us another
empty room and spares us the sight of those whingers from GCHQ who have
bored us for the past 11 years. SOCIALIST WANKERS, who dared to defy BIC
management, were unceremoniously shut down. Unfortunately, it hasn’t
worked a hundred per cent: GEORGE LOBO has been made the exception and
he will man the ANTI-APARTHEID stall regardless of the fact that apartheid
ended two weeks ago. He’s got plenty of redundant stock going cheap
- MIKE HEMINGWAY please note. (Next year they’ll be on sale as antiques)
Talking about suits, DONNY McINTYRE, one of BARRY’s thugs, was seen
strutting around in his BENEFIT AGENCY corporate wear - company tie, blue
blazer and black trousers -as he was under the impression that it was
black tie for dinner at the HIGHCLIFF.
GARY GRAHAM, one of our razor sharp research officers, excelled himself
last night. He apparently didn’t know what BIC stood for, and thought
it had something to do with a pen.
ALBERT ASTBURY, who is still of some use to MENDICANT, is still trying
to buy friends. And he needs them. His own LCD Section Conference was
a disaster. He spent most of the day pretending to be a TROT, slagging
off EL ‘84 , under the impression that this would do him some good.
Unfortunately for him, EL 84 swept the board in the section elections.
And the post conference SEC punished him for his rashness by kicking him
off his last remaining sinecure, DTUS Chair. Albert now loses all his
facility time and will have to go back to work - something he last did
25 years ago. Even worse, he will now have to sell his mansion in Winchester
and seek more humble accommodation in the absence of the juicy expenses
he has grown accustomed to over the centuries.
Senior officers of the PFLCPSA, including the entire Revolutionary Command
Council, have been distinguishing themselves as usual, bumming drinks,
fags and food from anyone they can lay their hands on - including hapless
visitors who were just going to the swimming pool. The pitiful attempt
at cheating at the annual Quiz Night at the Quarterdeck failed. BRONCO
and LEWIS came a miserable fifth.
Cognoscenti will have recognised the music played prior to the opening
of Conference as the Intermezzo from the Opera ‘Cavaliera Rusticana',
which has previously been used in the films ‘Godfather III’
and the fight scenes in Raging Bull’. Wise choice Barry.

WEDNESDAY
ROUND AND
ABOUT
by Judas Iscariot
The ENGLAND saga runs and runs. The Moderati have gone for the count -
not because of the pressure from the Assorted TROTS - but simply because
they believe that the results have once again gone in their favour AND
they need to know how many votes ENGLAND has bagged in the NEC race. A
simple calculation, take his vote away from MARION’s and then compare
her net vote to JARVIS’s, will tell them what they can expect at
the re-run. Nor can they tell DEMOCRATIC LEFT candidate - a nobody called
JOHN MOFFAT to simply stand down: this is a re-run, not a fresh election
and so all the existing names must stand.
And back in the UNITY camp the uneasy alliance between BL 84 and MENDICANT
is holding under the belief that they have captured 9 seats on the new
executive up from last year’s 3.
ROY JONES, the industrial correspondent of the MORNING STAR, has at last
arrived. The RED newspaper is in fact the only daily covering Conference,
even though the paper is not obtainable in Bournemouth. ROY, who is retiring
this year, was far to tired to write out his turgid copy and tried to
persuade AMANDA to get her staff to tap it in for him on their computers
on the grounds that he had "left his lap-top behind in Brighton".
Sad to say, they were too busy to help him, and resisted his offer to
type it himself JONES, who has difficulty in coping with a portable typewriter,
claims he normally uses an Apple-Mac.
PAUL SMITH went on a sponsored slim earlier in the year to raise money
for the starving people of Africa. Unfortunately for them he put on two
pounds. And delegates have been amazed at the appearance of MIKE HEMINGWAY
these days. He’s lost ten stone and bought a new set of clothes.
The reason is that MIKE got married in March and has been put a strict
diet. By all means tap him for fags and booze but beware - his sole topic
of conversation is his LADA.
Talking of bores, no one has missed DOZY BOWESIE, ace MOD wit and raconteur.
He broke his leg standing on a football and is in convalescence. And PETER
HARRIS was so impressed with his accommodation at the CONNAUGHT that he
has gone and booked it for next year. Conference 1995 will be held in
Blackpool.

NOOKS & CRANNIES
by Barabbas
BARRY WOODBRAIN, a member of Mrs.JARVIS’s think-tank got so drunk
at the ES social that he fell asleep on the bog-pan before he could remove
his trousers with predictable results. GILHOOLY eventually had to lever
him off and carry him out.
And so it goes on. Though the Moderati Victory celebrations were postponed
the Hunt Ball was packed as usual. JOHN BUTCHER, onetime DE Moderati gourmet
and local hotelier, was the DJ under his pathetic stage name of JOHNNY
CANNON. Immediately following RAMSBLADDER’s ranting Rally the Troops
speech, he said in front of the mike "I’ve heard some whinging
Scotsmen in my time, but you take the biscuit". Hordes of DEMOCRATIC
LEFTOVERS crawled in to grovel to BARRY and MARION after making a token
appearance at their own bash at the LAGUNA. The DEAD LEFT do was predictably
staid and TONY ROUSE, who had gone out of curiosity, won a bottle of whisky
in the raffle.
BARRY was in his cups back at the HIGHCLIFF, confident of eventual victory
over ENGLAND and BAUGH, after his restrained and conciliatory response
to their lies in the Tuesday edition of TROUNCE THE TROTS. But he was
less than happy at being introduced to PATTINSON & BREWER’s top
solicitors by RIKKI WIGLEY. The GREAT SCOT thought that he was meeting
their top libel men. He was not amused to discover that the lease on the
Manchester HQ (prop. JAYSON DROSS) had been signed by KUTIEPIE and MILLS
without his knowledge. SPENCE is widely tipped for voluntary downgrading.
Did you know that RAMSBLADDER has got loads of sisters - which he hasn’t
spoken to for over twenty years. Two of them, who happened to be in London,
spotted his name in a newspaper and saw that he had now become a famous
trade union leader. They hotfooted down to FALCONCREST to meet their long
lost brother only to discover that at half past five he had gone home.
Needless to say, they still have no idea where he lives.
Strange goings-on have been reported at the Moderati centre at the HIGHCLIFF.
The fag machine ran out on Monday and the johnny machine was empty by
Tuesday evening.

BUSINESS NEWS
CPSA AGM blocked by Injunction Chairman vows to fight hostile bid
CPSA Chairman, Mrs. Chambers has pledged to resist the take-over bid led
by Mr Alan England and a consortium of Harrogate businessmen. In a statement
given to the press by public relations director, Ms. Amanda Frankenstein,
Mrs Chambers described the England bid as ‘ridiculous and underfunded’.
But solicitors acting on behalf of Mr. England have reached an out of
court settlement which will now permit him to stand for the Board and
the Chair of CPSA plc.
Mr. England, a successful local businessman, has been trying to buy into
CPSA since November last year. He already has a small stake in The NUCPS
Corporation and he is believed to already control 520 votes.
Managing Director, Barry Reamsbottom, in a two page statement said that
Mr. England was "unworthy of serious consideration" and suggested
that the Yorkshire businessman was acting as a Trojan Horse on behalf
of the long standing group of disaffected shareholders led by Mr. Christopher
Baugh.
Mr. Baugh rejected allegations of collusion, and said that Mr. Reamsbottom’s
comments were misleading and mendacious. But he said that Mr. England
had every right to challenge the current Board, who were trying to pull
the wool over shareholder’s eyes with inflated claims and misleading
figures.
Mr. Baugh said that though he had nothing personally against Mr. Reamsbottom
he simply was not up to the job and should resign at once.
Mr. Reamsbottom, who has the confidence of the Board, told the press that
Mr. Baugh represented just a small minority of shareholders. In a prepared
statement he added that " The last two years have been a period of
spectacular growth for CPSA plc. Market penetration has increased by 17
per cent, bringing in 10,000 new clients over the past 18 months. This,
mark you, in the prevailing climate of recession and retrenchment. Clearly,
present Shareholders have no reason to switch their allegiance and we
anticipate an overwhelming vote of confidence and a further year of consolidation
and progress with the current management team.

THURSDAY
ROUND & ABOUT
by Judas Iscariot
The things they do. Last Tuesday, RIKKI WIGLEY was wandering along the
corridor of his hotel, the HIGHCLLFF, stark bollock naked at 3.30 in the
morning trying to find his bedroom. He then knocked on VERONICA BAYNE'
S door by mistake - fortunately for him she recoiled in disgust and rang
reception to get help. When asked to give an explanation of his conduct
the next day all WRIGLEY would say was "Oh, was that the time then?".
But at the RED centre, the HERMITAGE, things are never quite the way they
seem. The obscure JIM HOLMES, a Yorkshire COMMIE, asked reception to reserve
a MORNING STAR for him every day. Needless to say, they had never heard
of it, and on Monday the Tory DAILY STAR was pushed under his door.
Of course none of this would happen if RACHEL BARROWCLOUGH showed an ounce
of loyalty to the paper she claims to support and sold it outside the
BIC doors together with the rest of the loonies. The notorious COMMIE
tap-dancer hopes to be swept back onto the NEC this year. She is one of
the chosen few on the DEMOCRATIC LEFTOVERS list who have been given the
Moderati seal of approval - but only at Section level - so her chances
are pretty slim. Over the past year, RACHEL has distinguished herself
by losing her Area Directorate Branch Secretaries facility time because
she failed to respond to 4 letters from Management on the subject. She
has had her branch's last two rebates withheld because the financial return
has not been submitted. She wasted MILLS' money by cancelling her place
on the National Market Testing School the Friday before it was due to
start because she didn't like the others who were going. And she has failed
to get nominated to any national post by her own branch.
Still she easily fits in with the DEAD LEFT - the supposedly socialist
faction which has still to utter one word of criticism of the Moderati,
while heaping tons of abuse on its onetime RED friends in MENDICANT and
BL `84.

As we all know, the TROTS have taken the principled stand in having nothing
to do with the SAVE THE CHILDREN fund appeal, on the grounds that they
cannot spare any of their precious facility time to handle it. But their
resistance is crumbling. STEVE BATTLEMUCH has bought tons of raffle tickets
in the hope of winning the Aromatherapy Oils, which incidentally were
donated by MARION herself.
On a lighter note, we are all pleased to know that Deputy General Secretary
MARTIN BOYLE has been given the task of heading the ALAN ENGLAND INQUIRY.
We can all now sleep safely in our beds in the knowledge that he will
carry out his duties with the impartiality and fairness that has got him
to where he is today.
People's Bailiff RED O'REGAN and Yorkshire stalwart TOM McVIE are both
taking and early bath. O'REGAN goes on early retirement and McVIE has
already gone - on grounds of "inefficiency". But both hope to
retain their CPSA membership under the TURER rules. BASIL the BAILIFF
has already lined himself up as a part-time, self-employed process server
and McVIE is hoping to get a job as a part-time pox doctor's clerk.
Take no pity on poor BILL PAYNE. He's a first time delegate who is totally
overawed at mixing with his betters here in Bournemouth. Last Friday he
rang Peter Harris, his branch secretary to check if it would be okay to
wear jeans at Conference.
MILLS's speech was great wasn't it? In the PRESS ROOM, which doubles up
as the full-timers hospitality bar, the loudspeaker was actually turned
off as soon as he opened his mouth. So the only reporter to cover the
TREASURER' S brilliant discourse was STEVE DUNK of MENDICANT who has been
forced to sit it out at a tiny desk facing the top table.
MARION had a hard time yesterday but she certainly did well turfing out
the riff-raff in the 90 pence seats at the back. Needless to say the TROUBLEMAKERS
were all TROTS, including TERRY ADAMS's constant companion, DEBBIE DARRACOTT.
But it's not all fun in the hot seat. After 6 hours MARION felt the urgent
call of nature but just as she got to the door of the Presidential bog
she was ambushed by BONNER demanding to know the results of the DE Section
elections. MARION managed to escape him and get to the throne - only to
be confronted by Mrs JARVIS as soon as she got out, demanding the same
answers.
Mrs JARVIS's absence from the Labour Party fringe meeting she helped organise
for Wednesday lunchtime did not go unnoticed. And there were further mutterings,
mainly from the hypocrites in the DEAD LEFT camp, when she failed to return
to the Hall to move reference back on the key-note motion on Job-Seekers
Allowances in the afternoon. Who can blame her -the Labour meeting was
dead boring and was attended by the usual bunch of nobodies and she had
more chance of being struck by lightning than getting the reference back
through. In fact she had far more important things on her mind - holding
a secret working lunch with CHRIS BAUGH of MENDICANT to plot their next
move against MARION and RAMSBLADDER.
DONNY McINTYRE is not just a pretty face. When a bunch of hooligans from
MOD Carlisle descended on the PLANTATION Hotel in search of DUGGAN to
punish him for his rash remarks about ARTHUR SCARGLLL. DONNY personally
intervened, saving DUGGAN' S hide at the same time converting them into
supporters of the DEMOCRATIC LEFT. (DM - £20 /MD - £25 owed

STARSHIP NEWS
On behalf of Captain Reamsbottom
and the crew, I'd like to welcome you all aboard the Starship BIC for
this weeklong cruise around the Solar System. We're currently 3 days and
500 million miles from Planet Earth and over the next two days we will
lose sight of it entirely.
There have been a few niggling problems which we need to address but we
trust they haven't spoilt things too badly. Issuing binoculars for Tuesday's
Solar eclipse was, in retrospect, probably not as good an idea as it seemed
at the time, judging by the number of passengers wandering around aimlessly,
looking like Japanese snipers with dark glasses. However, we understand
that, in most cases, you should be able to open your eyes fully within
two weeks.
The Catering has not been up to our usual high standards. Unfortunately
the galley had not been cleared after last weeks cruise. And we wish to
offer our condolences to the families of those who were sucked out of
the airlock following yesterday's horrendous accident in the Observation
Gallery
.
We remain concerned that passengers still haven't read the instructions
regarding emergency drills and have a tendency, every time the warning
bells ring, to drink a pint of beer then run back into the main chamber
instead of manning the shuttle stations.
The company is considering a refund for all those who feel these events
have spoiled the week's holiday. Meanwhile, we hope we can put all our
troubles behind us and concentrate on enjoying the remainder of the Talent
Contest running all week in the Windsor module.
Should you require refreshments, please do not leave your seats. Put your
hands up to attract the attention of one of the stewards and place your
orders with them. They will be only too delighted to oblige.
It only remains for me to thank you for cruising CPSA and we hope you
enjoy the rest of your trip. Thank you for coming - especially if twice
or three times.

FRIDAY
ROUND & ABOUT
by Judas Iscariot
Bar takings zoomed up all over Bournemouth as the Moderati and their Democratic
Left stooges drank themselves silly celebrating this year's landslide
victory. Their cheery faces, unlike those of the TROTS, were seen in all
the best hotels in town. But back in their seedy dives, the Assorted TROTS
were plotting their next move. MENDICANT is set on seeing the ENGLAND
saga through to the bitter end - even though it is now clear that it can
only end in another humiliation. BL 84 is all over the place, some blame
BAUGH, others blame Mrs JARVIS and some now want to mend their fences
with the DEMOCRATIC LEFTOVERS.
And the highlight of their evening was a more modest bash at the HERMITAGE,
where the YORKSHIRE SOVIET was holding its annual wake.
Mrs JARVIS was already coming under attack from her campaign managers,
and was drowning her sorrows in her accustomed way. ALBERT ASTBURY, in
his Christian Dior shirt, was equally sombre - hiding in corners to avoid
his sycophants who only laughed at his jokes to get a drink out of him.
During the campaign Mrs JARVIS's followers were under strict orders not
to make any hostile references to LEON TROTSKY or the past record of MENDICANT
in CPSA. While this was still being largely adhered to, BAUGH and GODRICH
were not amused at the ANTI-TROT jokes during the entertainment.
Sir ROY d'LEWIS, and his cronies LEECH & CO. normally never miss the
SOVIET. This time they dared not show their faces, hiding in the Conference
Social until it was safe to crawl over to the HIGHCLIFF and grovel to
their masters. PETER THOMASON, the mastermind of the JARVIS campaign,
had been billed as a star guest but he wisely stayed at home. ALDERSON
was too pissed to arrive.
The HIGHCLIFF, which has also served as temporary PFLCPSA field HQ this
week, glittered like a galaxy in the night. The only unpleasant scene
was altercation between Assistant General Secretary McCANN and some senior
officers of the Revolutionary Command Council, who were insisting that
BARRY pick up the tab for their booze in the usual way. McCANN, who is
second in line of succession, said that this won't happen when he's boss
- though how expects to get there without our favours remains unanswered.
And another week passes by. Congratulations to RED DOWNING, who is taking
up HOLY ORDERS and putting aside the temptations of the flesh. And condolences
to JILL O'CONNOR, who fractured her ankle standing in the queue outside
GARY GRAHAM's door.
Not to mention LIZ IVERS, who had a dream. She dreamt she was in bed in
the WINTERBOURNE - got up naked as nature intended - went down to the
bar where D.o.T. comrades were writing their speeches and asked them"
Where's the loo?" and wandered off without waiting for a reply. Unfortunately
for LIZ it was not a dream.
LES MORON has at last put in an appearance. He only turned up for the
SOVIET bash and we're far too considerate to mention his latest blunder
concerning arrangements for a conference of the country's leading judiciary.
His annual report is at stake. (£20 - LM). By the way DUGGAN we're
still waiting for your CHEQUE - ALBERT ASTBURY please also note. Coun.SAMUELS
- no more foreign banknotes please.
A burglar-broke into Reamsbottom's house and headed straight for the safe. As he ferreted through 3 feet of ballot papers and a quart bottle of Tippex to get to the readies, an unearthly voice said `Jesus is watching you'. Sure that it had just been a figment of his imagination, he stashed the money in his bag. Once again the voice said `Jesus is watching you'. Nervously he flipped on his torch and swiftly spotted a parrot in a cage at the far end of the room. The burglar said `Who the fuck are you?' The parrot replied `I'm Saint Peter.'.'That's a stupid name for a parrot!' the burglar exclaimed. And the parrot replied `Not half as stupid as "Jesus" for a Rottweiller!'

CPSA Shares soar after confidence vote
CPSA shares were at an all-time high of $7.50 when trading closed last
night, following the massive vote of confidence at the AGM for the current
board, and news of the sudden death of Mr. Christopher Baugh.
Trading in CPSA shares had been suspended following a complaint from Mr.
Baugh a corporate vice-president. But they resumed following an appeal
to the High Court. After a hesitant start, they began to climb when the
results of the shareholder's ballot was announced M r Baugh was rushed
to hospital at 10.00 am after suffering a massive heart attack soon after
the results were announced. He died two hours later.
Mr. Baugh was believed to behind the Harrogate bid led by Mr. Alan England
and a group of Northern businessmen. Mr. England, who is holidaying in
Blackpool, was not available for comment.
But concern is being expressed at the health and state of mind of Mrs
Jarvis, a regional manager who had publicly backed the England bid. Friends
have been unable to contact her and the police have been informed.
Mr. Baugh's death caused a short-term vacancy on the executive. This was
filled by the surprise appointment of Mrs Carole Popplewell, as a reward
for long service. She has been appointed senior corporate director, replacing
Mr. Tony Rouse who has been relieved of much of his responsibilities on
health grounds.
Mr. Reamsbottom, CPSA's Managing Director, has also made other changes
- `the most dramatic being the appointment of six new directors, from
the Roy Lewis partnership, a subsidiary now filly agglomerated into the
parent company.
CPSA, which trades under the Moderati label, has reported record growth
and for the first time in its history expects declare a dividend. City
analysts believe that it may be worth between 4.1 to 15 per cent. But
shares dipped on the Nikkei index following Wall Street reports that it
is only really 1.8 per cent.
