THE RANT GETS A MENTION....
DO IT THE DELLOW WAY!!
Every Village has one..........and boy oh boy is Ulverston shaping up to get ours! Of whom do I speak? The one and only "hirsuted hero", Mr Geoff "my way is the only way" Dellow. Here is a man who has achingly strong ambitions to be on the County Council, a political Firebrand who, singlehandedly, will change the face of local politics forever, and will Govern the way we live with an iron fist for the benefit of the decent "right thinking" people of Ulverston, As for the rest of us, he will come down on us with Mighty Force and smite with fire and vengeance those who do not obey the teachings of St Dellow.
So what qualifies our Saviour for the trappings of such high office? Hmmm..let me see...
He has a fancy to follow horses round the streets and gleefully photographs the shit they drop to publish on his website. What his point is, I don't know, but, 50 or 60 years ago he would have worn his bloody camera out! (I trust this activity will go on his manifesto!)
His other most engaging activity is also to photograph the Criminals, along with photos of their cars and numberplates, who park on double yellows, (no photos of blue badges), people who park by the cash machines for 2 minutes (as you do), and white van drivers sat in stationary vans on their mobile phones and publish these on his website (Harumph! Who needs the permission of the perpetrators ? Not me!!)..I can only assume that the purpose of this excercise is to show to the general public that the town is full of lawbreakers and nobody is catching them, except for the ever alert Dellow. This self serving behaviour will, I am sure (not!) make everyone aware that he is indeed eminently qualified to attain responsible, high office, and feel sure that Carlisle and the Court of Human Rights will embrace him warmly?
 
Mr Dellow, it appears has a self serving view about everything, his website is an eye popping read, his campaign is...Lets get it done..but..if it aint done the Dellow way, it aint done right, and, because it aint right, there will be a 500 page dissertation dropping on some fuckers desk to tell them why it's wrong and what needs to be done to satisfy Dellow. The poor bloody Town Councillors are all a pack of useless tossers according to Dellow, completely forgetting the fact that the good people of Ulverston voted them in, and, have continued to do so, because, in the main, they do try hard for the Town, despite the constraints put on them by Carlisle (God I wish it was Lancaster, but thats another story)
I have to summarise this guy as a career arsehole, windbag, nosey parker, nincompoop, and when I was a child, a "tell tale tit" the only soldier in the Regiment in step, broadly speaking a typical teacher (them as can do...them as can't teach) In my view the antics and rantings of this idiot completely disqualify him from holding any political office at all....and...if you read his website.....geoffdellow.blogspot.com...you may find some of it quite disturbing, and maybe, worrying. He holds his "surgery" at 11.00 am every Saturday morning in Poppies Cafe over coffee, monopolising a seat that a proper cafe user should have, your views will be welcome, but not appreciated....because....you'll be FUCKING WRONG! ...so there !!
" As it's so important (?) to Ulverston people to get road markings repainted within the next month, and, the County is unable to do the work, is there any altenative to Ulverstonians doing it themselves? "
Dellowspeak......Compulsory Community Service ?
" Tourists...I hadn't realised just how many there are! Many come once a year at least, sometimes more! "
Dellowspeak.....Thats my excuse for my B&B failing and I'm sticking to it!
"I cannot go along with their (Evening Mail) sensation-seeking approach to Journalism."
"I avoid it (Evening Mail) like the plague."
"Someone in the Evening Mail put my view across very well....."
"I love pitting my wits against the odds both physically and mentally. If I kill myself - so be it - that is what makes life worth living."
"Are people who risk their lives for their beliefs a little deranged?"
"No wonder I've been a risk taker all my life."
After Geoff realised he was on this site he got in an Incredible sulk!

New kadampa buddhists
This bunch of self indulgent middle class types get right up my nose! Apparently members of a religion which advocates self denial and a lifestyle of simple pursuits and a retreat from the material world, they are instead to be found driving to and from the Priory in nice cars so that they can fill their fat little purple garments with Thornton's chocolate and ice cream and bunches of expensive Interflora bouquets every day of the week, that's when they're not stuffing their baskets full of luxury items in Booths and swigging Coke by the gallon. Have you seen the car park at the monastery full of BMW's and Merc's? - they can't all belong to the halfwit builders covering the giant wigwam in gold leaf ! If they are denying themselves anything at all, it is the chance of earning a honest living by avoiding doing any work at all and spending the rest of their lives chanting gibberish and gazing at their navels. Where was the Buddhist float at the carnival ? They can't be short of a few bob judging by the size of that golden monstrosity in Conishead, isn't it time they contributed something to local life? If they want to pray for World Peace, I suggest they try doing it in Afghanistan.
The New Kadampa Tradition have been linked to murders of people close to the dali lama who is a traditional buddhist.
They are taking advantage of the naivete of Western people who do not have a long tradition of Buddhism and Buddhist history within their culture. They simply do not know better and fall under the spell of what amounts to be nothing more than a cult.

Well what do we have here? Three members of Ulverston Town council who attend very few committee appointments and get trips to Albert paid for by us! scandal.
TESCO AND FOCUS, WHAT IS GOING ON? 16TH MAY 2006...“Focus is not just a DIY concern — they sell everything and they would definitely affect Ulverston’s shopkeepers and traders. We will do everything we can to oppose it" RALPH SPOURS.A packed meeting called by the Ulverston Traders’ Association agreed to strongly oppose plans for a Focus DIY store at Canal Head. EVENING MAIL. 3RD JUNE 2009 Mr Spours said about Tesco opening!: “It’s cleared up all the confusion and some of the scurrilous rumours that were whizzing around town. The traders are delighted to be reassured it’s opening and we look forward to it.” EVENING MAIL. I looked in the paper today and i was quite amazed about the way Ralph Spours and the Ulverston Traders are backing Tesco but when you cast you mind back to when Ralph Spours said " they sell everything and they would definitely affect Ulverston’s shopkeepers and traders. We will do everything we can to oppose it" about the Focus Diy opening on canal head, we must ask ourselves what is the DIFFERENCE between focus and tesco? Tesco also sell lots of goods that are sold in the rest of town but he seems to want to back tesco but not focus. More people wanted Focus in the town but Ralph Spours decided to be a spokesperson for the whole of Ulverston (AGAIN!) by saying we did not want it. The word hypocrite comes to mind here and i will remind Ralph Spours what that means....a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings. After doing some asking around it would appear that most of the "Traders" own clothes shops! Why the change of heart Ralph? Tesco will do more to damage the town than Focus. Could this be a case of some underhand tactics taking place? Us at Ulverston rant a few years ago put loads of pictures on here of Ralph and changed them to make him look even more stupid than normal, we have given up on this as it would appear that he is making an idiot of himself without any help from us.
New Ulverston logo do not use or we will hunt you down! ©
The Ulverston Rant design team have made a new logo for the town and i think it is far better than the crap we use now.
Far better than the council designed crap i think.
Never let it be said that The Evening Mail never contradicts itself 
ULVERSTON, LANCASHIRE.
" Cumbria is an administrative area and will not alter the traditional boundaries of counties."
DoE. 1.4.74.
The amount of ignorance surrounding the dreadful "county of cumbria" and its component districts amazes me.
Nobody seems to know, or care that when SLDC was formed the government said that the names of new districts would not supercede already established names such as Furness or indeed south Westmorland. I live in Furness, I am not within the LDNP, ergo I do not live in south lakeland. And damned glad of that too!
What have all you pseudo cumbrians got against Furness, Westmorland or Lancashire? Why do you insist on using artificial bureaucratic tags to describe where you live. Is it snobbery, ignorance or a grudge against the true county/area in which you live. I always use Lancs. and have never encountered any problem.
Those of you who think you live in Cumbria/South Cumbria/South Lakeland are in for a real treat when they change councils again. Those who think that ever changing identities are fun things will have a brand new title to play with, the ardent cumbrians will maybe come to realise what we Lancastrians/Westmerians feel now!
I use my LA postcode and always use Lancashire. Royal Mail say this is perfectly acceptable and I have had no trouble with the post. Though I can see LA (Lancaster) may cause problems for Kendal folk. If cumbria council delivers good efficient services then that is progress and is fine by me. Speaking up for Lancs/Westmorland is not a fight against local government, rather it is an appeal to protect and promote centuries of history. Simple.
