your comments have been noted, but by the time half a dozen have posted on this thread we will have forgotten what your were on about and be deep in thought and comment about something completely different.

what was it you said?

Buzz,

I know topics veer off course a lot but I don't really have the time to check out all threads to see if they are following all rules. If you have a specific complaint about something it's better to email one of the Site admins (contact details are in the Announcements forum) or PM us or a moderator directly.

Unfortunately, it seems to be the way of the world that some people can't have a discussion without it descending into a slanging match. It is against the acceptable use policy but that doesn't seem to stop some. Again, I don't have the time to read all messages and threads, so if you have a problem with something, please email or PM.

roger malky i will enter that in my space log, not expecting you to keep on top of it, but it pi..es me off that some people on here- who are obviously sensible people ( & i use that word very loosely indeed). they always descend into a personel slagging match. i for one have turned off the forum cos of this.

Annoying point is it is always the same offenders, they know who they are! isnt that right?

Buzzman, the flow of conversation and all :D .... Sometimes the topic is the meat and the side conversations are the spice. If a topic is interesting enough, it comes back. And if you want to pursue the topic, just lead it back yourself... we'll follow, I'm sure of it.

Personally, I have never had a conversation which remained on the one subject. Can I ask Mr Lightyear if he changes location whenever he changes topic of conversation?

Good job there are so many pubs in Campbeltown.

This is a cheap shot Mr Lightyear. The "jibe" about advertising wasn't the first "jibe" on the thread, and it wasn't the the post which went off topic. Incidently advertising is against Acceptable Use Policy, why is THIS not raised :?: :?: :?: :?:

I notice the "Where are the Police" thread has descended into a joke telling thread and a dicscussion about speed limits, where was that in your rant?

where is all this nonsense coming from? who in their right mind can have a conversation which doesn't drift off the starting subject? how does buzz get on when he's out and about in the town?

imagine the scenario, buzz walks into say a local shop, shopkeeper says "horrible weather were having" (normal opening to any toon conversation) buzz replies "yes it is" now, since the topic of conversation was weather, buzz is at a loss when it comes to requesting said shopkeeper to render some assistance in making a purchase.

exit buzz, looking for a shop where there is a white settler behind the counter who not being savvy in the ways of the locals, forgoes the weather report and asks "how may i help you sir?"

there follows a series of events with hilarious consequences.
