Has a substantial part of the island lost internet connectivity?

(whispers) - a few of us have got together to form a pact. We're hiding 'til all the "bad boys" go away, then we'll be back in force.
Please don't tell though or they'll just come back to pester us.....
As for all the other subscribers(?)........well he's probably just away on holiday for the winter - like all the other rich pensioners!!

Oh, ok, I'll stay quiet until given the "all clear".

Well.....I wasn't particularly, but if you want to claim association with,or indeed, take the the title of, "bad boy" then at least you've taken your 'one-step-forward'.........

I'm hiding here. Go and find your own place to hide.

Watch out for spiders, longshanks, vikings, moonrakers, nonny mouses, fairies.....even yorkshiremen. Stay low; stay alive!

O.K. Now that most of us appear to be present and correct, what shall we talk about?

Anyone heard from Starburst/Minimum/Nick?

hi 7th Seil - it's great to have you back!! :roll:

erm.......without meaning to rock the boat, why is there so much bad press for Easdale Island in the last two issues of my Oban Times??

No obvious answers please......

Can't imagine. Suggest some of us go over and investigate. Maybe the community council will enlighten us.

Ummm ... "bad press" ... "Easdale Island" ... isn't that tautology?
Concise will be able to look it up ...

Hi Starburst, good to "chat" with you again.

Yep, I looked it up and the good book states:

"the saying of the same thing twice over in different words, esp. as a fault of style (e.g. arrived one after the other in succession".

I see your point.

However, does anyone know what all the fuss is about? Is it time for undercover investigations?

Phew;
Looks like the bad boys/girls have all gone for now so I feel safe logging in again. Well done Seil Sally for your initiative on this one. Certainly makes this place a better place to be. Perhaps the treehuggers have all emigrated to the Oban forum.
ps Sally; loved the top you were wearing this morning.

Did I miss something Longshanks?

Sounds like we should all be wearing camouflage round here. Who else is hiding about the place?

Who else is hiding about the place?

Hmm - been quite for some time now, hiding at the bottom of one of my cerveza bottles

Welcome back two beers! What have you been up to? Has it been warm and sunny out in your neck of the woods? It's been wet and cold here (well, up until yesterday anyway) Mind you, if you've been at the bottom of a bottle then it's probably been a bit wet for you too.
