Week of 20th February 2012: Well, TOOTS has really excelled himself this time. What shall we have, ladies and gentlemen? Shall we have ten explosions a day? NO! Shall we have twenty? NO!! What then? FIFTY A DAY!!! ALL WEEK!!!!!! OVER TWO HUNDRED EXPLOSIONS AND SIRENS !!!!! You might wonder what gives this […]
Yes, it’s been a long time since the days of Noddy, and we felt that this joke had run its course; new readers would need it explaining, and there’s no point in jokes that need explaining. Also, we don’t wish to make this campaign against nuisance and disruption a matter of personalities. There’s quite enough […]
What a nice man that TOOTS is, working so hard to save lives, and so horridly misunderstood. We’ve all heard this story by now. Of course, people with a smooth, plausible public story to tell are not necessarily quite the same when the interviewers go away. Here is an email that TOOTS sent to one […]
It’s always good to find sharp people who are quick on the uptake. But let’s stick with real life: Feb 2012: Although nothing at all has happened on this site for four years, someone out there is really bothered by it. They have gone to the trouble of inventing an anonymous Hotmail address (which they […]
What do you do with people who take your money and then lie to you? We all pay councils to work on our behalf, doing jobs such as emptying dustbins that we don’t want to do. They’re also supposed to stop noise nuisance and other anti-social activities that are no longer dealt with by the […]
More nuisance warnings. On the last two occasions, tests were either carried out underground* or not at all, resulting in no evident nuisance. It doesn’t seem to have occurred to Mr Briggs and his little crew that warnings are acted on – people cancel things and change arrangements to try and maintain a little sanity […]
Mr Briggs is going to make some more money by creating a nuisance, cracking up people’s houses and stopping them working/sleeping on Thurs 17th and Fri 18th April. You know where to complain [see explosions warning for 2nd April]. Skydock Hessle Dock Company now get a whole nuisance warning page to themselves at West Lindsey’s […]
It’s been very quiet, but Mr Briggs is going to change all that. What better way to spend a nice sunny Spring day than making money through other people’s inconvenience? “In the Spring, a businessman’s fancy Lightly turns to thoughts of cash”. You’d better like it. You aren’t going to get the choice… Those people […]
Bored with just doing ordinary useful jobs? Want to get up the noses of your fellow citizens a bit more? Well, you’re in luck! Here’s the very thing for you, at an “exciting”, “brand new” testing facility “north of Lincoln” – and guess where that would be? (check out the original ad here). Here’s the […]
Noddy Rides Again: [Letter in the Rasen Mail, refuting Mr Briggs’s claims to “scientific” objectivity]: The Faldingworth explosions man, Mr Briggs, wrote in the Rasen Mail last week. As well as implying our MP is a liar, he made several untrue claims (no you haven’t been turned away from any residents meetings in the last […]
