Seil Chat

Can anyone predict what the dance will be like in the hall tomorrow night? I'm thinking of going along but not sure who will be there. Is there a bar or is it BYOB?

Thought the questionnaire was for us to express our opinions. Still, maybe you think putting your views on the chat forum will make a difference instead. Never mind, good on yer.

Plenty of room on the questionnaire for you to make such comments.

Seems to me you'd rather make them as a criticism for us all to see here than in a response that you wouldn't get any publicity for. Well done!

Yup, sh1t is sh1t in my book. But farmland is different, and cow/sheep sh1t is to be expected in fields used for such animals. Dog/human excrement should not be acceptable when it is deposted in areas that could affect health (any health, animal or other wise)

As usual the critics are having their say without coming up with anything better. Yawn...zzzzzzzz

Maybe it's just me, but recently I've watched quite a few wildlife boat trips speed across the water offering punters a thrilling ride. Surely the noise of large engines disrupts the wildlife, especially that in the sea below. How much fuel do they use? I've watched them "go to see" (chasi...

I always thought that the first one to the top was the winner.

Listening to Nick read out a list of the "team" should be the most entertaining part of the evening. I may make the effort to attend, it is a free evening out after all. Problem is I'm not sure all those you mention actually agreed to help organise any games.

I agree. Let people get access to proper jobs and help others enjoy a decent social life that they seem deprived of over there!

Just browsin' and came across this. Where is this welcoming community? How does the ferry service allow young families to stay on the island? Has anyone seen this women rowing to work?

This is the best laugh I've had for ages.

Whether or not Longshanks is a "type", I happen to agree with much of what he says. However, rather than criticise the yachties, perhaps we should be thinking of ways to improve things. Banning them just aint gonna happen. Maybe the new marine bill could be a way forward.

I see in the Oban Times (page 10) that we're all invited to Easdale Island for a concert that looks like could be a little low on numbers due to someone having a wedding on the same day. Perhaps if the concert were to be held in the Seil Community Hall a lot more folk would turn out for it. Still, t...

Nope. Mind you that would have made the road very colourful and much more entertaining to drive along. We could have known which ones were okay to drive over and which ones to swerve around. As for the tourists...

Was that walking?

Wouldn't like to be in it in a strong gust of wind. Probably ruin the tomatoes or worse could spring a leek!

I counted 3 different colours and assumed there was more than one person on the job. It is quite a long walk from Ellenabeich to the A816, but then again there are so many potholes several cans of paint would have been required no matter how many people were marking them.

Good idea! Recalling what was left behind last time it's likely they would get a lot more than pebbles thrown at them.

Nothing to do with the poor quality of our community halls then?

I didn't have a problem getting any fuel in Oban last week or at the weekend. (And no, I wasn't panic buying, just went on a long trip)

So does this mean that we have 2 new community halls within a few metres of each other, jointly costing well over £1 million but neither delivering the goods? Poor acoustics, freezing cold, leaking, no atmosphere...
