Don't Mention The Golf Course

[general jack o'niell]

i've said it before and i'll say it again, we should all sign a waver allowing the operators of the forum to give contact details to anyone with a genuine grievence about a post, then the complainant can contact the postee directly with their complaint, gets davie a bit of peace, i would have no problem with anyone that didn't like what i post to speak to me directly, don't see that happening, not with any of the ones i know about who have caused davie to PM me regarding a post, i will be dealing with that person directly, see how confident he is with his mouth when its not a female or a child he is talking to.

on the topic in question, i have been puzzled with the direction certain post appear to take, if this person or persons know something stop beating about the bush and out with it, maybe they have something personal against the company building the course? i don't know, likewise i can't see why anyone would not want the scheme to succeed? it can only have a positive effect on the town. i'm all for it, the whole scheme, course, hotels, houses apartments, whatever!!!

do i get free lifetime membership now? oh and a buggy, i need a buggy to get round, i have my own clubs

[Ship called Dignity]

BIG BROTHER RULES

Is that what they call it?

Buddy ? I'll be your buddy.

Oh sorry ,thought you said buddy,but I see now it is buggy

[Bobbie En Tejas]

dig that hole deeper mods, i can still see your necks!!!!

Why would the mods need to dig a hole for themselves at all when there are plenty of people on here willing to do it for them?

lolol.. very funny!

We love ya, honest we do.

Davie, you will notice it isn't the regular posters who are giving you grief, it is the people who don't want to take the time, or effort to actually post, but use you as the whipping boy when they don't like something. Seems everything was fine until people who rarely post started stirring.

Agree with the part about the whipping boy but not really the rest.

[Bobbie En Tejas]

Well, people complained about drivel and boring.. guess that has worked itself out

[general jack o'niell]

for a minute i thought you'd confused this topic with bill's last post about ann summers, i got a wee fright there and a horrible vision flashed thru my head, poor davie

I take it this was aimed my way Gen Jack? I can respond to things without taking too much of a huff about it

Contrary to popular opinion I genuinely do want the course to succeed. However, I think people are being spun a PR line which works in most cases, but not in a remote rural community where something of this size is of incredible importance to the local economy. If this had been happening just outside Glasgow, Edinburgh or London, people wouldn't really care about it too much and would be prepared to accept the PR that's been offered. Why? Because in the grand scheme of things (if it's just outside London) it's not that important, but in Kintyre it's of incredible importance to literally thousands of people's lives.

There is a time for corporate PR and there's a time for being honest with a small rural community. The two are not happy bed-fellows. I think it is also part of the Scottish psyche to be somewhat sceptical? (maybe I misread it and thought is said Scottish psycho?)

I have no axe to grind other than looking for a bit more transparency. Some people have an issue with this (I don't put any frequent posters in that category, including you Gen Jack) but I'm big enough (and by Christ am I ugly enough) to stand up and say I was wrong if everything turns out to be delivered as promised.

I, like most people who own property in Kintyre, am likely to gain personally from the new golf course, I'm just worried that there'll not be enough room for my Learjet at the Drome

[general jack o'niell]

can't say i had you in mind, maybee it was you, maybe it wasn't, i can't remember, just that a few postings seemed to be insinuating that there was something going on that wasn't above board, i seldom take notice of who the poster is unless i want to reply to them directly,

[Sheik Yir Erse]

The good thing is Gen Jack, I'm sure you're equally as big and equally as ugly (that's if you don't mind me jumping to conclusions from a prety hazy webcamp pic) to take it up with me directly if you did have an issue.

Don't think you're the kind of man that would be over banging on the P's door greetin' your eyes out

[general jack o'niell]

should it arise, yes i'd be bangin, greetin? no, it wouldn't be me, that would go for anybody that i really really took issue with, the "p" should be pretty safe i reckon, "p" senior brought him up well.

oh and feck off with the ugly bit, big maybe, too big, ok i'll give you that, but ugly, not this boy!!!

[Sheik Yir Erse]

Yir @rse - you look like a young Ronnie Barker in that pic - especially when I screw my eyes up! I don't remember seeing him near the top of "The Handsomest Men this side of Glebe Street" polls.

Bit like you, he was funny tho!

[Sweltered]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

ggggggggget yyyyyyyyer cccccccoat Gggggggranville.

[general jack o'niell]

maybe thats because your side of glebe st is deliverence country, they have a saying in those parts of kintyre, "if my uncle had t*ts, he'd be my wife!!!" and "my sister" and maybe even "my mother too" standards are a bit higher over on this side, besides ronnie corbett always looked better in drag.

i tried screwing up my eyes to look at that pic, couldn't even see the monitor, nevermind a tiny picture, but hey all us spec wearers look the same, i'm only glad i'm not chinese or black, i could be mistaken for just about anyone if that were the case, can't think of any famous black spec wearers, they all seem to get laser surgery these days, even tiger had his done a couple of years ago as he kept getting dust in his contacts.

tho i did once claim to be the most famous black man in kintyre, my little joke after beckham won a most famous black man in britain contest in one red top, sorry if irony is not a word in your vocabulary, you'll find it in the dictionary, just before the entry headed "yes, i mean you dumbass!!"

as for you No.4, if i'm ronnie barker, that makes YOU!!!!! granville, not so funny now?
