yon telly program

[wasseventhseil]

Just watched yon top ten scottish historical moments tv program.......am i the only one completly miffed about the "voting off" of the highland clearances, because as one historian put it, its a purely "gaelic " issue...........ignorant central belt imbeciles.......

p.s. i know i said i wasnt going to post stuff any more but Glasgow is pants.....full of narrow minded racist bigots who seem to think oban is "way up north"...so i thought i would reaquaint myself with the old coutry......

No, you're not the only one! Is this where we lob the Gaelic grenade and see what's blown out of the water?

[wasseventhseil]

steady on NOS. to whom do you refer?

[NickB]

That the tosser to whom NOS refers is he who tosses the first grenade?

I am slightly disappointed in both the quantity and the level of debate on this forum since we sailed South . . . I thought the long dark Winter nights would have enticed some of the local lurkers to post.

W . . . Very popular among a certain section of the yachting public.

Better than being a gripper.

Let's raise the tone a bit chaps . . .

Tha mi duilich,Ordo,chan eil mi'tuigsinn!
Translated roughly, you appear to be stating that "those buildings were big and smart similar to the tenements in the town centre. Big, new farm machinery built them."
Can this be right? Can it be true?
Is this cryptic or nonsensical?
More importantly, how does it relate to what has gone before?
Please correct or enlighten so that the debate can move on.
You've thrown in a conversation stopper - surely you didn't mean to.

Ho hum.. nice to see everyone having a good old ding-dong when there are more important things to be discussing, things that might change the nature and fabric of the island for the next 100 years (and then some).

In case you are still in the dark, I refer of course to the pending Marine National Park, arriving on our doorsteps in 2008. End of the 'consultation' coming in January - shouldn't this forum be used for talking about something important like this instead of trading insults?

[MA1BOB]

Are they also contemplating a marine park on the Isle of Mull? Paper reports that locals there are discussing the park as well.

Dead right Seventhseil. It's only a few years since I had conversation with two teachers from Glasgow who were visiting Seil. They were astonished to discover that we weren't all ethnically correct, speaking Gaelic (pronounced wrongly of course) and ploughing our wee crofts when we weren't catching haddock or drinking drams. (Well they got something right).
Scotland is badly ruled from the Central Belt, best proof of that is the unbelievable state of the A82.

The railway is shut at Ardlui at the moment because of a landslip, can we expect traffic lights for trains now as well?

[wasseventhseil]

Well thank god some one agrees that the central belters can't se beyond the end of thier nose......I thought there were many sets of traffic lights between Oban and Glasgow, why else would it take 3 1/2 hours to get a train all of 90 miles..........and NO to a Marine park, there isnt any thing that it is claimed that it will achieve that can not be done anyway...(apart from employ some enviromental studies graduates from the home counties).........bah humbug
