WHAT A SHOWER - £15,800 THE COST OF TRYING TO CLEAN UP MCELHINNEY!

READERS of the legendary Liverpoolevilcabal.blogspot will remember the fury of Liverpool Direct staff about the new shower installed for 'chief executive' David McElhinney.
The new shower was installed on the third floor of the hated McElhinney's office in the Temple of Doom at (Misad)Venture Place.
Why?
So that the evil doctor could go for running with his pal, the smiling assassin Halsall, whenever he fancied it during the 'working' day.
Then he would be able to come back glowing, use the shower and then return happily to his LDL 'duties', smelling of nothing but roses.
McElhinney ordered the personal shower for
MisAdventure Place soon after he jumped ship and quit the city council before he could face the music over The 08 Place.
And he was allowed to get away with yet another disgraceful abuse of public money, despite reassurances from Council Leader Warren Bradley that all of McElhinney's 'privileges' were to be withdrawn (free car parking, council lease Jag, cut-price loans, membership of professional bodies, expense account, etc, etc)
The cost of this nice little shower perk has now been revealed at an astonishing £15,800 of council taxpayers money.
We do not know if this includes council taxpayers forking out for fresh towels, fancy soaps, funny-shaped loofahs, hot and cold running Geisha girls (not blondes then? ed) for McElhinney. (Well he certainly won't need any shampoo, ed)
But the private power shower, the room to which only McElhinney has the key, can never wash away the trail of murky stains he has left all over the city council.

I hope there is no suggestion that he uses the shower for any other purpose than the vain attempt to clean himself up?

That would be a horrible slur on this man's character, which would be totally unforgiveable. Obviously if that was suggested on this part of the blog, it would be totally untrue.

HAVE YOUR SAY - POST YOUR GOSSIP BELOW!

SO FAREWELL THEN, EDITRESS JANE....

I have it on good authority (?) that Jane Wolstenholme, esteemed editress of the Liverpool Daily Post is leaving to become a full-time novelist.
Ms Wolstenholme is, of course, also married to PR supremo Jon Brown, who last caught the attention of bloggers when he turned up at the side of Chas 'show me the money' Cole to brief the Liverpool Echo about the appearance of Madonna at the Summer Pops in 2008.
This was, of course, complete fiction, which the Echo duly swallowed.
Not surprisingly, since Mr Brown had previously been deputy editor of the Echo. (Liverpool is a real media village, isn't it? ed)
Anyway good luck to the lovely Jane, who has already penned her first work of fiction, which is attractively described as part of the 'chick-lit' genre.
She has had a six figure advance from Simon and Shuster to come up with the second novel next year and in between will be helping out Mr Brown's successful PR business in the city.
She will apparently rejoice in the pen-name of Jane Costello, so will fit on the shelves alongside Joan and Jackie Collins. (Nothing wrong with pen-names, ed)
And good luck to the lovely Mr Brown, (So we are being equally sexist then, are we? ed) who will no doubt be working hard to keep her in the style to which she has been accustomed.
We should point out gratefully, that under Ms Wolstenholme (ooerrmissus), (thought the non sexism was too good to last, ed) the Daily Post has knocked spots off its craven stablemate, the Liverpool Echo.
The Echo has ensured that its readers remain blissfully ignorant of all the scandal and corruption orchestrated by the evil cabal who governed the city.
Readers can instead concentrate all their attention on the Echo's unremittingly depressing diet of gun crime, drugs and 'D' list celebrities.
We can only hope that Ms Wolstenholme's successor shows similar journalistic talent and integrity.

The rumour is that Colin Coverup's mate, Stuart Smith (right) has doubled his salary in one fell swoop going from £75,000 a year as an Assistant Exec Director to £150,000 for becoming the new Exec Director of Education.

That is an awful lot of classroom assistants for an inner city school. Did Mr Hilton take any part in the interview process and did he declare any interest as Smith's mate and ex-boss?

Talk about looking after your own....
