You may have noticed I have not posted here for some time. I have been extremely busy. It has come to my attention that the cyberworld is full of people whose opinions are simply incorrect, and as a person of the cloth, not to mention IT expert of some considerable skill, I have a moral duty to brin...

No, I haven't been banned, but the pillock insisting that he is the "real" Vicar was, although it seems he's managed to get reinstated. I think I know who it is though. I am not afraid to admit that I have had a "murky" past, and have made a few enemies on the way. You would be s...

Good to have you back your redness. Is NickMacB coming back too? All his posts seem to have disappeared from here as has his name on the member list. Is he off sailing across to the Caribbean again? Can't speak for Nickb, dunnow where he is. I've been busy over on the Oban Times forum (some geezer ...

Small problem with using Gruinard as a dumping ground, Mr Plantagenet Sir. It is tiny, hardly big enough to store a day's supply of contaminated gloves from Sellafield, let alone any high level waste. Also, the local sheep might object - Gruinard is no longer contaminated with anthrax, and was prono...

I am not usually one to moan (plenty others here to fill that function) but I do take issue with the quality of the repairs done so far. Granted a plop of tar shoved into a chasm is better than a chasm but some effort could have been made to make the surface of the shovelfull of new tarmac roughly t...

A pretty unpleasant article, and one that contains very little beyond rhetoric and insinuation, but hardly sufficient to delete the link to it. Given my record so far of very moderate moderation (Post deleted: none. Posts edited: none. Posters banned, suspended or even warned: none) I am frankly mil...

Eric, I must protest in the strongest posible terms. You are clearly suggesting that other users of this forum print and give the Valentine card attached to the person nearest and dearest to them. The card is clearly well past its use by date, rendering it unfit for use. Forum members with less than...

As far as immediate impact on climate change is concerned, nuclear energy is the obvious solution - we can build sufficient nuclear power stations to meet all our needs more quickly and efficiently than we can build wind- or tidal turbines. Nuclear power stations are generally as safe as coal- or ga...

Yes, the money estimated to have been lost due to the disruption would go a long way towards paying for a squadron of unused gritters. The money they are talking about, however, was not lost by the State - it is money estimated to have been lost by business. So, if they want hundreds of gritter wago...

tell us all that the snow is proof that global warming is a myth. What, and risk yet another yellow card! No thanks. What I can tell you, though, is the fact that London ground to a halt due to the heavy snow is, of course, the fault of global warming nutters incessently pushing their guff so that ...

It is extremely rare for anyone to become infected by stroking a dog - direct contact with faeces or contaminated soil is overwhelmingly the most common method of transmission, so the comments about the dangers of stroking pets is a red herring. In reality, the entire toxocariasis strand is somethin...

It has come to my notice that someone has been posting under my name in the Oban Times Forum http://forums.obantimes.co.uk/ . This person is almost certainly a member of this forum. There is no doubt in my mind that the poster is doing this purely to cause trouble and sully my (hopefully) good reput...

Time to bring on "The Crimson Vicar" for her first appearance I think. To many people, particularly our Cornish cousins, to be called a Hawker is today quite insulting. I quote from forum Rules: "desist from the use of abusive and personal language" I can find no definition of &...
