Like me, you must have wondered why Margate's putative arts emporium changed its name from the Turner Centre to 'Turner Contemporary' a while back. Go on, of course you did!Well if you Google-ise Turner Centre the top spot is held by The Turner Centre... for Counselling and Psychotherapy! According to their website, the Colchester centre 'occupies a grade II listed building and is beautifully furnished to a high standard'. Among the therapeutic services they offer are counselling for anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. I presume Margate's Turnip people decided on the name change to avoid any confusion, given that the sponds wasted on the gallery had already caused 'anxiety, depression and panic attacks' among the general, taxpaying public of Thanet.
The Turner Centre (Colchester) also offers help for 'anger and rage'. It strikes me that, given our Sandy's recent, er, carpeting by the Standards Comittee for his outburst at the Edinburgh Woollen Mills, and his previous for calling the Mayor of Margate a 'f*cking tosser', he might well be advised to check himself in for a session or two!

Have you dressed Ezekiel in green there for Paddy's Day then?
To summarise 300 pages of TDC deliberations:
Sandy ad a shandy
Got a bit handy
Cos he is a handy shandy
irish iris is incandescent in idiocy
I think therapy is a waste of time he needs a keeper from Howletts to follow him around with a dart gun and at the first sign of bad behaviour to bring him down
Sandy's boxing background 7.24
He tried to lead with the left.
But Irish won with her right.
I heard that Sandy went to the doctor.
"Doctor after taking me viagra an dat and giving er one an dat I got an itchy arse and it bled a bit"
"You are suffering Shag Piles Sandy"
Sandy at a meeting to discuss the viability of Manston as a civil airport. Dozes off during the meeting.
"To be viable", argues Infratil, "We need to extend the marshalling areas into what are presently rural residential areas"
Sandy wakes with a start and shouts
"Axe Minster"
Irish Iris "Is there anyone here can get inside the head of that nut"
Woger Latchford "You need a kernel"
Sandy at a Thanet Tory old comrades do
Sandy "I gotta go on an anger management course an dat and get signed off with a certificate an dat saying I have me anger under control"
Cyril Hoser "I can flog you a certificate. Just give me time to get some printed up"
8.01 excellent reminds us that really local tories havent changed in 20 plus years - just reverting back to type - quite depressing really.
(to stop swipes - i am not a labour voter!)
"Irish Iris?"
What year is this?
Oh yes. In Thanet it's 1964.
10.01 Don't you mean 1664 when women were burnt at the stake for daring to have opinions. Seems some of the tory group pine for those times.
