    The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got their tent set up, both men fell sound asleep. Some hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says, "Kemo Sabe, look toward sky, what you see?" The Lone Ranger replies, "I see millions of stars." "What that tell you?" asked Tonto The Lone Ranger ponders for a minute then says, "Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morni

    I thought this was quite clever A Latter-Day Parable The inspiration for this 'tongue-in cheek' thread came from Sheriff Drummond's speech at the Scottish Police Wildlife Conference earlier this year. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth; and it was good. He created Man, and gave him dominion over all the beasts of the field and the birds of the air. The People harvested the birds and beasts from the land, and were content. And it came to pass that some of the People lost their way, and wandered into the wilderness, where there were only predators and scav

    I'm not here!! to argue either on the development of Ravenscraig, Kevin!! only to respond to your thread and I am ashamed to say your right that I've never met you and I do dislke you!! thats because you made derogatory remarks re: my terrier club and its annual show as well as making personal insults about a club member you never met?? you also alleged you had been invited to dig with members of the club that was also untrue Your present partner has decided to pm me on another site re: her feelings about this thread, Why I don't know maybe she's feeling protective of her man while in a vulnr

    Your point saying Ravenscraig was'nt a wasteland was also silly and a lie!! as it was a demolished steel mill with cooling towers?? It is'nt the nice wee green area with the diverse habitat, flora and fauna you portrayed in your original post!! All the recent surveys say there's nothing worth keeping on it, There's no triple SI sites or rare or endangered species, The authorities develop existing former industrial works (Brown Sites) in order to prevent them developing more of the Greenbelt Tom Ps: Methinks you doth protest too much!!, mainly just for the reaction?? To canvass suppor

    Why have you changed your name mid-post??? (tina/kev/sky/ace/tug) you've been on and off this site a few times and keep changing your name WHY?? As for Ravenscraig it was a feckin waste land because of the heavy industry steel mills foundry etc: it would have taken the land years to recover (contamination of the soil by chemicals and foundry waste) it was a brown site (industrial) now its being turned into residential and commercial it was never a green belt site for hundreds of years. Ravenscraig steel mills used to be owned by the Craig family (John Craig & sons) before it came into pub

    Another interesting page from the Defra website!! Tom Bovine TB: Badger protection legislation Badgers were first given protection under the Badgers Act 1973 and badger setts under the Badgers Act 1991.

    A summarry of the Krebs report, to Defra and taken off the Defra website Tom Report by the Independent Scientific Review Group on TB in cattle and badgers A report by the Independent Scientific Review Group on TB in Cattle and Badgers, chaired by Professor John Krebs, was published on 16 December 1997.

    This is bollocks!! Badgers are not endangered or rare, What's happening here is fecking progress??, wether we like it or not?? As some-one who's studied Countryside Management & Conservation plus Land Devolopment, Policy and History, at the Scottish Agrculture College, Ayr (Auchencruive), this is not a conservation issue, its about money!!! and its got feck all to do with respecting wildlife!! If these developers had came to some of us!! before the Badger Act was put in place we'd have jumped at the chance to help remove them, that!! being the case lets not be hypocritical If they're bein

    Feck me!! Duramitex!! there's a blast from the past I have'nt heard of that for years, I used to use it on my pigeon lofts years ago when I kept fancy pigeons, Horsemen, Pouters etc: the only place I could get it then was a small independant chemist!! I don't think its on the market now?? Tom

    I don't suppose your comments in your!! last post above and merging the threads contributed or helped in anyway did it?? or do you absolve yourself of any blame?? If the threads had'nt been merged this subject might be in the archives by now dead and buried!!!!! Who took the crazy decision to pin such a contentious issue!! leaving it like an Albatross round our neck?? certainly not me!!! I wholeheartedly stand by everything I said and posted If you want to conduct a matter that may be of concern to a section of fieldsports enthusiasts behind close doors and exclude others then have a complete

    "Development Officer" (volountarily/unsalaried) this includes promoting the organisation and its members,their interests, help with recruitment at show's etc: and sometimes help with legal advice and any other issues a member or prospective member may have.? That's my interest declared!! anything else you need to know just ask Tom

    Fao TSA A direct quote from you re: SAC's!! "the name implies that it is region specific" Scotland is not a region its a country in its own right!! exactly the same as England as Wales and Northern Ireland is a province (all the home countries deserve our mutual respect). To tell a Scot is country is a region is deeply insulting That might be what BASC and the CA refer to us as and you showing your ignorance of the demographics, culture and history of Scotland and its people We have our own government, language education, legal and health system We are not a region of North Bri

    Fao Sporting Agent!!! Please!! don't tell me to calm down as I'm extremely calm and this is a crock of shit!! This issue is not about SACs or any other organisation in the scheme of things, therefore don't deflect the issue I could'nt give a rats arse about what you think about SAC's or me!! and to suggest I have certain views about you personally is false and misleading, You don't even know me to know what I think or believe in!! All I see is manipulation and conivance on your part to put your point across and thats self evident in the merging of two topics an issue that you've avoided t
  20. Foxgun Tom
    A bit sneaky this!! and fundamentaly wrong this is not a merging of two topics?? this is now one topic using posts from an originall thread that was based on a poll. I am absolutely disgusted and appalled that a tactic like this woud be used and infringes a mods integrity with methods like this being used to promote this fiasco, I now feel vindcated in not supporting it. It's a bloody travesty and a disgrace If the Sporting Agent was looking for allies in this venture by engaging the support of current organisations and their members? don't count on SAC's co-operation By merging two posts

    Sorry Chris This seem's an ideal opportunity to be a cash cow ( money making enterprise for some-one) Talk about niave Andrea!! So!! it was me you attrbuted the slanderous comments too?? at least that cleared that up whats slanderous about the above?? If you can;t take some heat you jump out of the kitchen why?? you only got a civil and polite response from me re: your posts!! As for some nasty posts about me being deleted, I'm afraid like everybody else I have to take whats coming, if i'm prepared to give it!!! but I'm quite sure if you ask why the posts

    Chris, can I make a few observations here?? For some-one to come on this forum after a few months and propose a scheme that is allready in place to a certain extent?? and appears to be the Messiah were hoping for is a nonsense!! I never doubted the sporting Agents integrity for a minute, but to ask people not to question it" with a proposal like this is simply and morally wrong!! they have a right to ask questions of the individuals involved You also have a backer of the proposal supporting TSA who makes points on his behalf and then refuses to comment on her posts and then makes the

    Well!!!!!! who in your opinion made slanderous insults?? and where was I less than respectful in my comments to you??, your words not mine!! only stabs and myself have commented in depth!! Tom No, it's about treating people with respect. Someone has an idea and everyone makes out he's after making a few quid. Those types of comments are nothing more than slanderous insults, that’s nothing to do with disagreeing, that about questioning someone’s character and integrity . Do you not see that as a problem? What??????????????????????????? where in my post are
