sad sight on the loch

[Kathy Bowles]

The flag on the Loch needs some attention - will someone go out in a wee boat and rescue it - Please?

i feel the same way

I've consulted the flag committee. Unfortunately the member responsible for the Loch Seil flag is currently in Western Australia and unable to fix this flag. After the experience of the flag on St Brendan's seat (overlooking the Bridge) which was destroyed by a cow with an itch the committee has decided not to erect nor maintain any saltires until Independence at which time we confidently expect a massive grant which will enable us to employ a full time flag keeper.
Meanwhile you could always fix the loch flag yourself rather than expecting someone else to; you lazy sod.

We seafaring norsemen could easily fix this - Might not be the flag you want - Ja?

Were you round hobnobing with the local gentry NOS, or engorging yourself on oysters when you found this out?

[novus ordo seclorum]

Now; pull up a sandbag and listen for a minute Mr Seventh.
Point One: If there was any Hobnobing (!) going on it would be the so-called local genntry hobnobing with me and not the other way round.
Point Two: In my book to qualify as local gentry you have to be at least fourth generation local. None of the significant landholders with big houses and posh voices in Kilbrandon parish or Kilninver sub-parish are any more than second generation. They are all incomers.
Point Three: I haven't gorged on oysters since I had half a dozen at the Woolpack (before it became the Woolpack; ie was the quaint old fish restaurant run by John Cleese's wife)) and only four worked.
Nuff said?

In the gutter but looking at the stars

[Seventhseil]

quite right NOS you put me in my place.....although I do agree if batwing wants a new flag he should put it up himself.

So much has been said but nothing has been done.

The flag is getting worse. I could fix it but I don't have a boat unfortunately and the water is too cold this time of the year, even for me.

Unless anyone knows a man with canoe.

[Makes Sense]

The chap overlooking the Loch has a boat there. I am sure he would be delighted if anyone asked to borrow it to erect a new flag.

Cool, I'll settle for local gentry...
