- Russell to make parliamentary statement on rural schools today
Mr Sneddon will need to complete a standardised financial statement on any closures he decides to put up against the new guidance, so no more rigging the figures to manipulate the outcome.Maybe we should get him to complete this for everything he tries to shut.
- Work underway on Inspiralba’s new Campbeltown play park: now name it
I don’t bash Councillors Simon, but recent events at Kilmory must have even the most discerning of people scratching their heads.Bashing Officers? The ones that deserve it? Every chance I get Simon
But you should know that already.Forgive me for trying to have a laugh.
- Work underway on Inspiralba’s new Campbeltown play park: now name it
They could build something like this on the grass at Kilmory and use it instead of the council chambers. Saying that, there are a few Councillors that might not be mature enough to use it.There are a couple of Officers that could be handcuffed to the roundabout and spun like they are on the waltzers until they puke.
Seriously though, well done to all those involved in this initiative and in raising the money in these hard times.
- Another untold story: Independence and The UK National Lottery
Well said Integ.Been avoiding commenting on this article because I do not want to be dragged into this Yes/No lunacy that has swept over the site.
The only decision I have made about Independence is that I am already sick of hearing about it.
I have expressed my disgust at the decision to not give the Lotto to Branson when they could have before on here, but IF – please notice I say “IF”, we become Independent, then doesn’t that give us the ability to correct that?
A non-profit Lottery, meaning all profits go to good causes? What if one of those causes was also the NHS? Taking the 5% of Camelot and 5% of the government – or even more?
I for one would start buying lottery tickets again if I knew that was what my money was supporting.
- Russell welcomes reopening of Sandbank post office
Thank you Fletcher and for the record as many of you might know, since I have said it a number of times before –I have NO political allegiance.
In the last local election, my top 4 votes went to Independent Councillors – for the record.
And as for keeping my comments to myself? Yes, this site is all about the ability and right of the readers to contribute, but does every flippin article need to revolve around bashing Mike Russell?
Seriously, it’s getting to the stage that there is no point in reading new articles or comments because you can guarantee that its going to be making the same SNP/Michael Russell bashing stuff rehashed.
This crap is not turning me into an SNP supporter, but it is really starting to scunner me. Surely there are more interesting things going on in Argyll and Bute that we can talk about?
Saying about commenting on the other stories was simply a suggestion, not me telling anyone what to do – hence the sentence finished with a question mark.
Re: “Crazy She-Bat” I have been known to completely out of my tree (most of the time) however, when the wind is in the right direction, I have moments of complete lucidity. Crazy She-Bats are also known for getting bored when people keep banging on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on………………

A rather more positive reception for “Brave” this time!
I was encouraged to read that the mostly Scottish cast were assiduous in not just introducing Scottish words to the film but even Doric (albeit deliberately in the mouth of a character that none of the other characters can understand!). Apparently Billy Connolly supplied most of the words, though Disney carefully vetted them and removed a few of the ones that were just a bit too couthy.
There is always a tension when we have a film based in Scotland and on Scottish history (even fantasy history) that it will turn out to be poor. However, Pixar haven’t made a bad film yet so fingers crossed this isn’t their first one! (well, actually “Cars” wasn’t that great but Toy Story, Up, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, The Incredibles and Wall E are all superb family films that appeal equally to children and adults (who didn’t have a tear in their eye at the beginning of “Up” or when Nemo loses his mate and all their eggs bar one?).
If we achieve an RoI of even half what Visit Scotland are predicting then the £7M will be well spent but, as Newsroom suggests, it is up to the tourist industry to make the most of this opportunity with an imaginative response.
Above all, remember that it is all about fun. Let’s not have any carping about historical inaccuracies in the film or a stereotypical representation of Scotland. Let’s just make the most of the opportunity and, perhaps, be a little brave ourselves.
