The Kintyre Forum

My original reason for joining this forum was to glean as much local knowledge as possible.Thanks to a number of helpful members passing on information to me,it has made my three holidays(thus far)extremely enjoyable.Whilst I appreciate that Speaker`s Corner is for rants,should those rants be specific to the Kintyre area and not generalised?I can not comment on local events etc.as I am some way away.I do however like to read of these events with great interest,and also the comments and opinions stated by contributors.I feel that the ethos of the forum is being watered down by irrelevant posts.Apologies if this seems like drivel.

Yawn ... not had much sleep LR ... yawn ... so I've maybe read your post wrong.
I've always presumed that speakers corner was for stuff that never really fitted in anywhere else.
It doesn't follow that everything on Speakers corner HAS to be a rant ... it's just the way it happens from time to time.
(well okay .... quite a lot of the time )

The rest of the Forum is fairly well laid out & self-explainatory. It's not difficult t find what you need.

You've perplexed me with the non-Kintyre poster thing as well ... yawn ...

There are ;-

1) Locals who are local.
2) Locals who have moved elsewhere on the planet (gazillions of them)
3) People who moved here & live locally.
4) People like yourself who have an affinity with the area.

What a great shame it would be to get all xenophobic and marginalise the Forums content ... and exclude any of the above.

Nah, I think it's fine the way it is ... yawn ... keep this wee corner for oddball items, items from elsewhere that do get a bit heated, topical debate, the odd rant ... etc etc

This section does seem to have attracted it's own crowd.

Hope this answers your post. Apologies if I'm on the wrong track ... but I'm bloody knackered and it's only lunchtime.
