What do do if the weather is miserable

[hoots the scoop]

With the prospect of the ferry next year what attractions would you say to locals and visitors alike to visit if the weather is miserable?

[kintyre 84]

Thats a hard one! A wee cuppa tea and a scone in gallery 10 perhaps, a browse about Woolies... Perhaps someone with an enterprising mind could start an open top bus tour...

A little bit of water ne'er did anyone no harm, as my grandmother used to say, and it's true.

While this side of the country may be wetter than elsewhere the temperature is usually quite mild, by comparison.

So, my advice would be to pull on the old Kagoul and get out there and enjoy the scenery!

Cheers

Go for a surf, your already wet anyway so you might as well enjoy yourself

[Reidiboy]

Participate in a pub crawl!!

I recommended this months ago, West Coast Motors have one in Oban, it is really good.

The Duke O' Ralston could always open the doors of his Stately Home to the public and offer guided tours. After the tour, he could serve up Pimms and Cucumber Sandwiches on his lawn and if it was wet, he could set up his marquee, thus ensuring his sandwiches wouldn't get all soggy.

Mr E. Mann

The poor old chooky. He can't stick his nose above the parapet but someone is trying to drum him down.

Anyway his grass is too long to sit a marquee on and his mower appears to be out of order, either that or the better half is knackered.

His lordship does not have the time for menial tasks anyway because his time is spent between the "wee Bann" and the CTA.

Sticking to the post, Buy as many newspapers as you can afford and sit and look out the window.

You'll always know when it is summer in Campbeltown, the rain is warm

[Mr E Mann]

Aye, and I'm sure Carol must be delighted to be known as The Duchess o' Ralston. Sounds more like the name of a Prizewinning Heifer fae The Rhoin or The Dhurrie.

Maybe you should have a rethink aboot this title you've acquired Dukester. I hear the moniker "Viceroy of Macharioch" is up for grabs and based on your qualifying criteria, you would be eligible for this as you've been there on a Sunday School Picnic in years gone by.

As far as the "Main" topic goes - why not open an umbrella and wellie boot shop at the top of the pier and attract the coach parties that come into town every wet Wednesday ?

[Admin3]

Someone tries to create a decent discussion and goes well of the topic - although some if funny!

Me thinks E Mann sounds a bit like Bubbly - perhaps a relation even!

[bubbly jock]

No way mann, I don't know who the E Mann is. I've got plenty undesirable relatives of my own so don't be adding any more.

Just a small observation for E Mann If you want to make personal remarks go onto the sports threads. Insults are classed as light hearted banter on there.

Sorry can't think of anything to do in Campbeltown if the weather is not good.

I'm away over to the dale thread.

So back to the original posting again!

I would suggest, if the weather is miserable, they go along to the soon to be opened Internet Cafe and post a few bits and bobs on here!

What did I say mann ???????????????????????

Now that was funny, utterly hilarious!! Possibly the funniest posting I've read since old Isa McGlumpher posted a request for a website where she could procure a pattern for knitting her own colostomy bag!

Sheer comedy genius from the guy who probably believes his user name is a side splitting play on words.

Well done Mystery Moose

Point 3 - Maybe it's time you got a past time, ye've obviously too much spare time on yer hands Dribbly
