Great story Pop..., I live near there, and my brother in law owns the airfield, and all the ground inside the perimiter fence, he bought it in may 2007 for rearing a new breed of mince eating worms, mayby you could order some from him, for all the mince you keep talking.

There is no way McAlpine got that job, we put a tender in for that train work, and were told it had been bought for Euro tunnel.

Think mayby There could be a good demand for these worms, as there are quite a few potencial customers on this site.

If you or any of your friends would like to place an order, please send a blank chq to me, and i will send you your order.

Yachts, Helicopters, Metro trains, my a...
You can still send for the worms tho.

How lucky for you then Ninja, that he is your brother law.
You can get all the worms you require, for free.
My only concern is,? can he breed enough to feed your demand,as it appears much greater than my own.
My vote for worm of the week, was going to Pete Reek,, however, i think you have just eased him into 2nd place.
Well done to you both, it was close to call.

You must be under some sort of "SPELL" t.a.p.
You seem to be as generous with your punctuation marks as you are with your awards. Question marks before the question and a double comma! It is so disapointing to have to pick up a second place as I was sure that I had done enough to warrant a first. Maybe next time? Ninja on the other hand will be over the moon at getting recognition from a self proclaimed international jet setter and high flier like yourself .
Now here is a strange thing. I had you down for an award too. The word I was using also started with a "w" but was not I have to say, worm.
It may have been wonderful I was thinking about! Yes I expect that is exactly what it was. Wonderful.

Pop, you have clearly upset a very high and well respected member of our community, by demoting him into 2nd place for this award. As i have a bagfull of 1sts i feel it my public duty to decline, its very clear to me and all concerned,that Pete Reek is far more awarding off it.
However, may i take this opportunity to thank you for considering me as a contender, and to tell you that i am in total agreement with Pete Reek when he says, and i quote,(you are a w......r), and a wonderfull one at that.

Thank you for your chq, enjoy your worms

Ninja,
are you suggesting that I used THAT word? I said word beginning with "w" of which there are many in the dictionary I carry around with me. That in turn makes your quote lies, lies and damned lies.
As for being respected, well I have never had such a derogatory criticism levelled at me before and think that you should retract it. I probably feel more secure at the level take_a_pop assumes I'm at, and he may well be justified in that assumption. Well, there are those that tell me on a daily basis. If you are declining the Worm of the week award, then it is an honour for me as next in line to accept it.
Can I just thank all of the people that have nominated me for this. My mother and father for having me. My wife for putting up with me for the 2 years we have been married. My 6 children for keeping me working to keep them and all the mothers that had them. Next doors cat for being purrfect at sitting there while I rehearsed being an asshole. Oh the list is endless, but thank you, thank you,thank you.

With regards to what you call me, no matter who said it, or who quoted it, i have no problems with it. Small minds make small comments. As this thread was for information about the new golf club, perhalps we can get back to it, and any updates of information can be posted here.

Re new course. Countless stories have gone the rounds about this proposed new golf course and the main problem is trying to sort out which ones are true. I have heard of the jetty and of an artificial reef being created to induce better waves for surfers. The jetty would obviously be a part of that facility, and part of the golf course complex. If of course there is a shred of truth in it!
One other story which would seem to be credible is the helicopter landing area. Since a lot of golfers buy a package to play X amount of courses over a specific time, it would seem reasonable that helicopters would be a major inclusion into a sheme of that sort. Rather than having them landing at random, a heli pad would be the preferred option I'm sure.
However, there is still no sign of any work starting on this golf course, so a next year opening does not appear to be on the cards.

I'm all for the buildin of an artificial reef...not heared that one before but you never know

Just heard from a very credable source, that the plug will be pulled on the new golf course, because of ammunition stores close by. The MOD will make official statement very soon. Hopefully this is only a rumour, surely they can move the green concerned, to a more suitable and safer destination.

by **paraffin man** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 12:10 am

Credable source??? What ammunition is stored there???? MOD statement on what??? Why would the MOD be making a statement on pulling the plug on the golf course???

Me think your source not very credable

Par/man
If you have better information than i have been given,then please share it, as i said before, i hope its wrong, as i would love to have a membership, to what will be known as Argyll,s No 1 golf club. What is your position on this matter ? if any that is.

by **paraffin man** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 12:22 am

Pop before we go there. if you have any info....you should be revealing if you have any answers(which i doubt) to my questions above then please enlighten everyone

by **GarySutherland** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 12:27 am

If anybody would be pulling any plugs it would be the Health & Safety Executive, for it is they that are the keepers of the Blast Radius maps.

Cheers

by **paraffin man** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 12:32 am

Then why, as pop says, the plug is being pulled, but Brightside Lesiure Ltd or whatever they are called, already got planning permission to proceed with the course adjacent the ammunition stores????

by **GarySutherland** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 12:46 am

Dunno. I can only speak from personal experience.

The village primary school back where we used to live in England had applied for planning permission to build a new classroom. The HSE objected on the grounds that the building fell within the blast radius of three semi-sunk ammunition dumps on the edge of the village. These were long-decommissioned and privately used for the storage of black powder by a professional fireworks display company. Once the blast models had been re-done the objection was withdrawn.

Oddly enough the same fireworks company was recently in the news following an accident at a display at Wickstead Park.
