Ban yachts from Seil waters ?

[daveanmucker]

Nae then lad,

I mostly live on my boat, a yacht, an spend a lot of my time in and around Oban and Seil. I reckon that I do a lot less harm to our environment than all you softy's that live in houses very likely with central heating ,dishwashers etc.

Don't think that anybody would accuse a retired Shipyard Plater as middle class even if he comes from Leyland.

Funny but when the Oban forum complained that they didn't do as well as the Seil forum for posts I thought o replying that Siel was most probably populated by a bunch of middle class twits with nowt better to do with their time.

Now then David and his pukka mucka,
What's all this you say:
"Siel was most probably populated by a bunch of middle class twits"
having previously proudly stated your lower class credentials:
"a retired Shipyard Plater"
whatever that may be - sounds vaguely sexual to me.
Good for you old chap. It seems the peasants are still revolting despite the class war being dead. Well, if its not dead after all remember that in our, historically, upwardly mobile society it was the lower classes who aspired to be middle class and the latter who aspired to be upper class.
I'll lend you a ladder.

[daveanmucker]

Thanks, Longshanks (wasn't he the sh*t who did the dirty on Bruce) don't need or want a ladder, I know who's side I'm on, to quote Dick Gaughan.

If you had said that yachts flying blue ensigns should be banned I would have supported you.

The rule is that if a yacht flying a blue ensign comes near you take defensive action he is sure to be a twit an his wife will be called Penelope.

Davie, old bean.

We can forgive you your spelling mistakes and, somewhat naive grammatical errors [maybe deliberate in order to establish your lower class credibilty or, possibly, unknowing - due to your attendance (more probably truancy from) at Bog Street Comprehensive in Leyland; wherever that may be!] but your ignorance of the correct use of apostrophes is unforgivable:

"all you softy's that live in houses"

If you can't use the beautiful language of Shakespeare correctly then please revert to the dogggerel of MacGonagall.

eg.

I'll miss you Wendy
As will my wee bendy,
Aye.

This class thing is over rated too
lets face it Queenies down to her last few million
so
soon despite aspirations even LIZZIE DOS wont be able to afford a house on Seil.
Middle class twits?
There are many who would aspire to that
not me-- happy in my mobile home in exile

Sorry teacher didn't realise Shakespeare came from Lancashire, I prefer t English of Harvey Kershaw.

eg

Clogs, as soon as I wer owd enuff t toddle daewn cluff
thi made mi wear cos loan wer ruff, sum clogs

When later on a went schoo becos mi mother made mi goo
wi temper a puncht t' noses thro, mi clogs

Schoomaister I had just then offen gi mi t stick
but more so when he fon ad forgot t cleayn mi clogs


Like ah young lads a liked a lark a like t mek clog irons spark
when mi faither fon aht hi went off at t deep end,
then a fond aht what paewr a foot could lend t clogs

If t' bigger lads at'top o't brew should try t bash mi cummin fr' schoo
one thing uz allus pu'ud mi thro, mi clogs

If tha's getten a job, like shiftin sondin or bugblindin thi upstairs londin
Tha need a gradeley understondin
try clogs

or
thar a borin bugger Brenda

DC, Pub rumour has it Seil Sound is closed again! Any truth in it?

[DonnieC]

Sleepy, Afraid so and will be for about two weeks!!

(ducks and exits stage left followed by irate shellfish growers!)

It's DSP again. There are others with similar problems in Argyll.

Please don't shoot me - I'm only the messenger!

[DonnieC]

Enters stage right and proclaims 'Eat your heart out Nightstar - at least till next week!!!! ! The waters are clear!

Then rushes to catch the ferry for Zeebrugge to eat Dutch mussels with chips and mayonnaise in Brugges - pondering 'What evils will the rivers Rhine and the Meuse be depositing over these shellfish?'

Contemplates beer and chocolate instead

[khartoumteddy]

Why EAt Dutch Mussels in Belgium

Although I See Your Point,
washed down with Japanese whisky no doubt

[Nightstar]

DC but i'm away from my wee island on holiday so thats not fair - way are the waters only clear for such a short lenght of time have all the yatchies/fishermen gone off sailing/fishing and become storm bound out there somewhere not due back for a week anyway right now i'm enjoying Aberdeen Angus steak in a Chinese Restaurant in Dallas (USA) weird i no - but they do the best steaks we're told enjoy your gritty mussels & strong (bittier!!) dark chocolates

[DonnieC]

Night Star, shellfish are tested once a week for toxins - if they prove positive they must test negative for two weeks on the trot before they can be sold for public consumption.

Chocolate/s absolutely delicious but then so is Oban/Tobermory etc.

Beers are dangerous esp a good Kwac in a groot!!

Mussels were not gritty but overcooked on the two occasions I had them and definitely way, way over-priced! I can thoroughly recommend the ones just down the Sound!!



Teddy, the Belgiuns will only eat Dutch mussels despite many efforts by the Scots and the Irish to import theirs into the country.

The beers are excellent There's not much wrong with a good Japanese malt and some compare very well with Scottish malts.

Yes I know it's a very personal thing but to me you cannot beat a 25 yr old Glenlivet.

What's this I hear about a Crown Estates official visiting next week for a couple of days to make an 'environmental inspection' of all the moorings around Seil?

Anyone got any info on this?
