You had me worried there. I had a wile job last night putting the new wheels intae the garage, but when I think about it, was that you standing in the shadows watching the coop? Maybe it was the general. Now you've got me paranoid.

As for speaking nonsense, I am well doon the queue. Lots of incomers nearer the top of the list than me on here

Think I'll pay a visit tae the quack this morning, get checked over. Wonder if Snoddy's aboot. That man works hard for his £90.000 a year and bonus's for a phone call at three am waking him up long enough tae tell the patient tae take two asprin and cycle tae the toon in the morning for the 9am clinic. Aye somebody's got to do it. Pure devotion

Dear Mr jock,

If you think that I would even contemplate raising my weary body from the plinth which is the 'Land of Snod' at 3 am for any less than £100k per annum at my tender age, then please think long and hard in the opposite direction. If paranoia is your main concern, then I could refer you to the site's consultant shrink 'Bobbly Juck.' However, it seems that his popularity outwith the Burgh has generated a demand that vastly outweighs the available patient hours in supply. His sterling work with the 'Hugh Trousers' affair has earned him an enviable level of prestige and acclaim on both sides of the Clyde Estuary, never mind the Forth.

However, should you be presenting flu like symptoms, then it would be foolhardy of me to allow you to even put one claw over the threshold of the surgery building, as I have to consider the wellbeing of the populus at large. With the benefit of hindsight, you should have considered the health implications for a stag like yourself, living the life of Riley in a coop full of well-feathered nests, with wall to wall chicks & chooks.

If this indeed transpires to be the case, then your predicted advice from me is straight down the middle. 'On yer bike!' Perhaps you would care to transform this into a sponsered event, with all proceeds going to a notable local charity, like: 'Feed the Orphans'. I'm quite sure that we could arrange for JDCarra to be the official photographer.

As for the 'Pure Devotion', I take it that your refering to my cravings for pea and ham from a chicken!!!!!!!!

I am, as always, at your service...

Hey Dorian and all you guys in New Scotland, here's your big chance to buy a piece of Kintyre history. Somebody called: 'Bochancheese' is selling a historical, even legendry fishing vessel on ebay. It doesn't say whether or not it comes complete with a ring-net for catching herring, but I'm sure that you could have one made over there.

Oh the romance of it all.........Go on, spread the word!

Apparently no free shipping (errr.. sorry...)

If you look hard enough, you might find an American port or two for sale on eBay to dock it Fi' dollah...

They're selling just for a few piasters from what I hear!

W & Jingles, that lovely boat might just need a new Arabic name to get into the docks over here.

Bubbly, I haven't seen much of Malky or Davie at all...I've been wondering where they were?

Maybe its time the 'colonials' decamp for awhile... After all, its not a "visit" Kintyre forum anymore, is it? Its a Kintyre forum.
The locals may want their own forum back as it was before we found it, and rightly so. The teasing and fun was had with pseudonymed folk, so all was done in fun. Having no idea who we were actually talking to (for the most part-except for those that used their real names), maybe some toes were stepped on unintentionally. For that, I appologize.

Dorian, just been busy with other things and need to get some of these done and out of the way. Been thinking about changing the whole layout of the website so been planning a bit of a re-design there which has kept me busy. Also, been away with work alot but it is quite in here! But, eh its February!

Meant to also say the only reason it is called the Kintyre Forum is the decision was made to separate it from the http://www.visitkintyre.info website as too many people were associating postings on here with the website and is to hopefully stop the personal reference I was getting with regards the forum.

Anyway, back to the Carradale thread - as they say on these shores 'hoots the scoop'!

Is it for real Davie P?

It's Carradale yer talking aboot here, and anything's possible. Is thon naw jeest a great photo though? It looks like the Monarch keeping apace in the background, and is that naw Erchie Carter sitting in the orange boilersuit up at the bow. Boy's o'dear, it damn nearly makes ye feel 30 years younger.

Aye, she's been around the village now for a decade or three, but when she came doon fae Scalpay, didn't she have a Rolls Royce engine? Aye Davie P, a Rolls Royce, and that's naw a wind up.


Here she is lying at Scalpay when she was owned by the Cunninghame's.



And steaming here with her fancy engine, and ring net on the stern.



I have to say that the colour photo is more eye-catching

[Bitter End]

Well Pongal guid pictures --The wan in colour - wis it na taken as -a demonstration o high speed pair trawlin fur catchin Tuna fur whin the Soond heats up?!

[GarySutherland]

Cheers

[Bitter End]

Go on yersell Gary!

[GarySutherland]

Wouldn't trust myself with a boat that big, and I'd have to raid the kids' piggy banks to scrape the shekels together.

Cheers

och aye great photos from beyond the digital age, now when i was wee (an coos were cheap) i was told that all good sailors never look behind them, but all you folk at the fishin seem to do nuthin else, if you could sell the stories and all the variations of stories ye'd make more money than ye ever did at the fishin.
the £90k for that boat must be for licencses a boat that age is surely not worth that?
i mean if it wis a shed it widna appreciate in value, an a tractor is worth less than it's new price the second ye let the clutch in.

nah,nah boys put these museum pieces where they belong,take a leaf out of our viking neighbours book and build modern shipping, if ye's would invest the same percentage oh money in boats that ye spend on hooses an cars ye might even be better off.
she's a nice shade o blue though...........

Nae wunner --lookin back--- Morenish -- Its cried nostalgia --its a sight mair pleasant tae look back oan it than it ever wis tae be at it. Its jist grand tae be jist sittin in front o yer hearth lookin oot at the gale ! an no bein out in the gale thinkin o yer fireside! An as fur yer sheds Ahm right surprised --nae astonished -- thet thir still even staunin wi all the care an maintenance ye gie thim!!
