Shame! LBBarnet would do well to invite Mrs Angry to be responsible for creative initiatives. Why are we not showing off Barnet music talent? Seems we "know the cost of everything and the value of nothing!"

I wondered if Tim Benjamin just happened to be a local composer who had perhaps been in a production with Cllr David Longstaff but it seems I have stuumbled over a different local connection, the Banner Snatcher.<br /><br />It seems that para 3.1 of the DPR "this will not give rise to significant public concern" is not true. <br /><br />Para 5.2 "following significant discussion amongst steering group" - what is significant is that the cabinet member Brian Coleman is part of the steering group - gosh, he does work hard - all those committees, enough to drive someone mad.<br /><br />Did anyone tell Julie Taylor who Im Benjamin was or was she presented with a fait accompli and being new to Barnet Council didn't know she was being stiched up like a kipper.<br /><br />It is Boxing Day so Mr Mustard is not sending in FOI requests. Tomorrow is another day!<br /><br />Mr Musatrd is just back from the cinema. He saw the latest Sherlock Homes film. A lady was snoring in the audience. Perhaps Cllr Braun likes the cinema and was getting in some practice for council meetings in 2012?Mr Mustardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12522242686839965655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189021335579222470.post-11907124291000138192011-12-26T17:47:10.440+00:002011-12-26T17:47:10.440+00:00According to Tim Benjamin’s Twitter feed (@timthec...According to Tim Benjamin’s Twitter feed (@timthecomposer ), he is now based in Yorkshire.
