Chrismas Lights

[petewick]

Oban is not going to have any Christmas lights this year because they have'nt got the revenue to upgrade the existing lights, additionally they don't appear to be interested in finding a means of raising money to put maintain/replace the lights.
Poor do !

I doubt if this is any great loss to Oban. I've always found them to be quite cheap and nasty compared with Campbeltown's but I suppose the length of George Street makes for difficult coverage.

You are probably right oorly, but it just shows that there is not really much of a community spirit, never mind Chrismas spirit in Oban in comparison to Campbeltown.

On the subject of xmas lights, will spiderman be abseiling down the side of Woolies again this year or are we going to have someone relatively famous to switch them on?
(I use the term "relatively" very loosely!)

[hoots the scoop]

Does anyone have any news on the lights this year?

Like who people contact if they want to enter a float.

Perhaps this forum should enter one with the likes of Bubbly, The Heidless Horseman, Bochan Mor, Morenish, Enough etc all the back of it! Good have a bun fight!

I've heard it is Bubbly Jock!

Apparently the Traders Association are organising a helicopter to take the great big gobbler down from Carradale to switch the lights on and give us all a right good laugh!

[take_a_pop]

I hope not scoop, he should be plucked by then, with any luck, so its up to you or me this year, mayby we could do a double act, little and large, fran and anna,or even the king and i, but i dont think Turkeys Are Man enough for the job, initially speaking of course.

bye bye

Bochan mor you're going to get stung and you really will have cause tae contemplate your erse if you dabble wae yon witch

Naw your right bubbly jock, I think I'm wearing the wrong kind of gloves for this Sorceress (Maybe you could ask take a pop to check the spelling of that last word). Besides, I've no desire to see her bee stings.

Didn't you notice though, I'm no longer contemplating ma own erse, its that other erse that will remain namelss, but just in case he's wondering, if the cap fits!

And here Scoop, before you go off on one, I'm naw meaning you, or any of your other nom de plumes. Your needing to start reading the Carradale thread again to cheer you up. You seem to have been on a right downer over the last couple of days.

Hi Davie,

Just been totally stressed out today, and got in at 5 to read the hilarious Irish Computer Virus on the Carradale Thread.

It worked a tonic. Now de-stressed rather than distressed. Humour is, indeed the best medicine.

Those Carradale Folk deserve to have their "Thread" promoted from just being a "Topic", albeit a 25 page Topic, to having their own Headline heading on your Main Board.

So how about it ???

OK, its up to 46 pages now. There's one condition though: You have to come on with a pseudonym, without telling us who you are, because that would only spoil it.

Right bubbly, come on back to Trumpton and we'll pull up the drawbridge. As usual, the baying mob are gathering, and it looks like your on the menu again.

Bubbly,
you are definitely the coolest guy on this site. Not everyone agrees with you, that's plain to see, but you are always very readable. Loved the one about the French fry on the shoulder. You may well consider me to be one of the snappers you mention, but I don't give a monkeys.
More power to your elbow, wing joint, whatever.
By the way, can you do the Birdie Dance? Just a thought.

[Bochan Mor]

Aye bubbly your pretty cool, but not as cool as 'Enough'
