Seil Chat

Exiting news I have learnt in the past few months that my Father isn't my real Father and now I have a whole new extended family.......I can't wait to meet them especially the ones who live at clachan Seil.......

Has this happened to any one else recently??

Oh yes. Many times. Many many times. So many holes to visit, so many brothers and sisters to see.

Nonny

Have you been living in a cellar all your life????

But in connection to Clachan Seil, what's that spray-painted monstrosity in front of the Adam's Family house? It looks like a Second World War boom, are the Nazi's back???

ps. Careful with your spelling, you might infuriate a ruminating cow...

7th, you're in the right place there in Barlinnie - hope they retain you there for many years. You don't deserve any syventhpathy. Your extended family in Clachan Seil (the 8ths?) has probably got your number and doesn't want to meet you...

Nonny, Great to see you back again. Hibernating or just a moustake or nonnyoor business?

CanU, Who's the Adams Family of Clachan Seil? These relatives of 7th's? Baby boomers? Just herd it's an ill wind that causes climate change. The boffins say that ruminating cows are responsible for up to 25% of Scotland's greenhouse gas emissions. Some folk must have big greenhouses, eh?

what's that spray-painted monstrosity in front of the Adam's Family house?

It's 24 months in the pokey for grafitti 'artists' these days - does anyone recognise the tag????

....and I thought Morticia lived further along the road?

Just thought I'd look in to see if anyone had killed anybody else yet. Looks to have been a close thing at times

Spidey, it's the 2nd house (on the left as you head towards the bridge) before Cnocachalltuinn. The people haven't lived in it for years and the place could do with a wee face lift.

I don't know who owns the land infront of it, possibly the same people that own the house???

Is this all those big black sausage things on the right hand side of the road you're talking about? Isn't that where there was planning permission denied for some kind of boat pontoon or something?

Nonny

Thanks, CanU, Now I'm with you. Maybe this is more nasty anti-progressive nonsense by the inhabitatnts of that row?!

I deliberately took a run up the island today to see what the fuss is about!

Whoever has placed these huge and unsightly plastic floats there should be spoken to! - not only are they ugly, but the vans that usually park there are quite obviously now going to have to sit out in the road on what is effectively a blind corner!

.....I have not, however, and thankfully, seen any applications for a building plot here ( because I checked!! ) - perhaps it's a matter of time!!

Yes indeed it is very unsightly.....it would be awful if you were for instance thinking about selling your house and moving to Taynuilt or Galanach or Ganavan and prospective buyers had to pass it....mmmm

Isn't that where there was planning permission denied for some kind of boat pontoon or something?

Isn't that further down the sound towards the other noisy and unsightly boat pontoons

- the land you're talking about is obviously some sort of lumberjack camp!

What's wrong with local folk just trying to earn a living? Isn't that what you guys are always moaning and complaining there isn't enough of? Why not encourage folk to fish, farm mussels, organise dive-trips? - isn't a healthy mixed community what we all want, even if sometimes there are minor disadvantages?!

isn't a healthy mixed community what we all want

Not if the SS have their way

Seeing a chap unloading some plastic "things" up at that site, I stopped to enquire, however was completely ignored by the fellow!!
I note they seem to be multiplying in number. I hope this isn't going to be some anti-tourist eyesore with ferns growing through it !!

Isn't the Adam's Family house an 'anti tourist eyesore', which has been lying in that state for as far as I can remember? But you have no beef with that - only people living and working on the island!

As for anti tourist eyesores - it seems quite fitting to have them in the most anti-tourist part of the island, Nei?

Is this sniping all about SeaLife Adventures' rejected planning application for a pontoon? If so why not just say so.

I think that perhaps the objectors did not really understand the implications of the proposal, and saw more in it than there was - or perhaps the applicants did not do a very good job of explaining their proposals to those affected.

Surely there is a good chance of this decision being overturned on appeal? Two boat trips a day hardly constitutes an industrial nuisance after all.

Are the manky fenders revenge on the objectors, do you think? Or are they something completely different? Are there any facts to hand here at all, or is it just the usual bitching and idle speculation?

seems to be a lot of moral high ground here
