The Kintyre Forum

I understand it on good authority that the South Kintyre Councillors are going to be Donald Kelly, John Semple and Rory Coville

Correct Sniper...

From the Council Website the official result is

Electoral Ward - 1. South Kintyre Colville

Surname Other Names Description

Rory Scottish Liberal Democrats
Kelly Donald Scottish Conservative and Unionist
Semple John Donald Scottish National Party (SNP)

Well done to all

Well done JohnS .Congrats.

if thats not in reverse order then the people of this town really are as thick as i've always thought they were, damn, there goes the deposit

if it is in reverse order does that mean i win the sweep? cos i got all five votes right!!!!

and they said it couldn't be done, don't know who said it, but they must have been drunk

this must be what being a celtic fan feels like?

Does this mean I don't get my unicorn then?

just shut up and play with your moon on a stick. and don't break it, you'll no get another one

Alphabetical, perhaps?

might have thought of that if they hadn't left out the top ones surname, but why let a small detail get in the way, if i'd looked at it and said "oh, it's in alphabetical order" i'd only have needed to think of some other way to alienate somebody, and wheres the fun in that?

this is a happy day, happy happy happy





NURSE!!!!!!

Please further explain General what are your thoughts on the 3 elected councillors and how they will serve the community!

Did you have to encourage him

Any chance the various candidates and their camp followers will now go round the county once again and take down their posters before they blow down and become just so much litter?

Didn't think so.

Don't they have to, by law?

two boilersuits and an untried entity, can't give you a fair appraisel of mr colville since he never came to my door and as such i can only form an opinion from all his press coverage, oh and the opinion of some who live closeby who didn't see eye to eye with him during his canvassing. jury still out.

mr. kelly? likewise, i've known him for forty years and i'd like to think his heart is in the right place despite his party allegiences, i've seen him do the cooncillor thing close up and with mixed returns, suppose he wins some, he loses some, but he's never been less than completely open and honest to me, can't speak for anyone else. not proven

john donald semple? honest as the day is long, will he make a good cooncillor? can't harm him having such a large SNP lobby on the cooncil, might even enable him to do much more than the other two, but since i'd rather see them pool their resources that might benefit us all. who knows, they might bring tarmac all the way to campbeltown instead of it stopping at kennacraigs as it does now. hopefully they can smooth the path of the new golf course, help vesta and any others with planning permission for new wind farms (shut up, what do you want, elecricity or a view you never look at?)

john semple? big thumbs, neither up nor down, lets them get to work and ask me again at the back end, hopefully three yes votes.

when do i get my winnings for voting in all three, plus jim mather , plus alex salmond? if only i hadn't spilt so much blood when i was making my mark.
