Meeting

[Lossit Lass]

There used to be one ,but everybody just sat about talking all night ,so it just fizzled out .

ok, that made me laugh, blueboy


Since I'd never make it in person, I'll attempt to astral travel there...or shape-shift into a fly-on-the-wall....I'd H A T E to miss this

[History]

Now what does that say about the people of Kintyre? Oh, I know - apathetic. They'll complain plenty about the forum but never contribute...

....Maybe nothing holds the attention of Kintyre residents as it used to. I'm sure the admin are happy with the stats wherever they originate but it's not fair to insult the locals just because maybe there is nothing of interest on here for them.

Easily bored? maybe. Apathetic..never.

Perhaps we could have the event filmed

You could use video-conferencing perhaps

I will be in Campbeltown next month May - I thought it may be fun if some members of the Forum, to meet up in the White Hart Hotel on a Saturday Afternoon - till the wee small hours. We could have a good old discussion and put faces to names.

Sorry won't be able to make it, as Sunday is my day for the Hart

I think the Burnside, Saturday 9th May 12.30pm will be a better venue for you Ionns

Aye nae bother - do you think there may be a welcoming committee?
This last time I was in the Burnside, I enjoyed a drink and a chat with the local minister - and me with my Joseph Stalin tee- shirt on. I've always found a warm and friendly welcome in Kintyre.

Burnside is an excellent pub and always has a warm welcome, just like most of the pubs in Campbeltown. I'd stick to the White Hart however, where it is quieter and you won't get lynched!

omg...perfect...but good luck getting anyone to join you with that going on

(oh, and to call this meeting an "EVENT", you couldn't be more right about that )

but it's not fair to insult the locals just because maybe there is nothing of interest on here for them.

They could do something about it but they obviously choose not to.

[History]

Just to try and get this nonsense into perspective. A very small minority of residents in Kintyre come on here and the few who do are in no way representative of the residents of Campbeltown or Kintyre and you are extremely naive if you think anything else.

The comments by JD are also not indicative of how most folk who have even heard of this site feel either. He made a point about some who make remarks regarding the forum and are entiled to say what they think as much as you are. This is a forum with the name Kintyre that's all, nothing more nothing less.

They could do something about it but they obviously choose not to.

That's right it is their choice but it doesn't mean they can't give their opinion on being dissatisfied with something that is not to their likng. Maybe they have more interesting things to do than come onto a forum called Kintyre and read about somebody's holidays or what Glasgow is up to.

Before I get accused of xenaphobia I only used that as an example. I'm sure everything that gets posted whether it is facts, fiction or drivel will catch someones attention. Stats don't differentiate between quality only quantity.

If you look back on posts through the years, there has been much fun and humor, along with many good serious conversations and some serious brawls. I've learned much through the years from things on this forum, and hopefully I've added something besides drivel. Just because someone says something that a person there may disagree with doesn't mean that it isn't a valuable opinion. When there is a serious conversation, the comeback of "you don't live here" is rarely a good point.

Some of us have an affinity for the area, and like the forum, and hope it thrives for a very long time.

Not to take away from what's been said, but I think the last 3 posts were meant for another thread called 'Speakers Corner - Drivel or not?'
This thread is about Ionn's crazy idea for a 'potentially fabulous, possibly violent, guaranteed interesting, surely history-making' KF members' meeting next week

(edit/correction...next MONTH, not next week)

I was thinking the posts had got mixed up somewhere .
