Jimmy Foreman
Foreman Frontrunner in Face Contest?
I don't know if any other local readers of the Shields Gazette have noticed how often the face of Cllr. Jimmy Foreman is portrayed in it's pages? It seems as though he glowers at me on a nightly basis, I'm fairly certain that his face must have been featured more often than our MP David Miliband, and he's in the Cabinet!:)
I seem to see Jimmy's face in my sleep, I'm a little surprised that he isn't featured on giant advertising hoardings, or in bus shelters, or on the back of dominoes or playing cards. The "spinning machine" at the Town Hall is quite obviously doing something to raise his profile, is he about to launch a leadership bid or become a Parliamentary Candidate? Perhaps they ought to be thinking about spraying his face onto the side of Stagecoach buses, just so we won't forget his former profession, or print it on the back of the bus tickets.
I've a feeling that the Maoist anti-cult factions have lost the day, the bus driver is winning, he outclasses our other Councillors in the self-publicity department so I won't attempt to add his features to this blog, besides I know his countenance too well.
Jimmy is a nice bloke actually, with a sense of humour, no doubt we'll rib each other over a pint at the weekend!
