Dunstaffnage marina nightmare

[Flica]

So, did Dunstaffnage Marina make it through the night?

Silence, so one presumes it is no more?

It was a bit breezy from the east early on last night and then the media inspired hurricane fizzled out... The scum, sorry, gentlemen of the press can now start looking for the next piece of salacious tripe to scream about.

Conwy which seems to get a lot of gusts and is listed at the 4th windiest area in G B by the met office

Wow I'd like to see that list. If that's true how come the insurance approve it for leaving our boats in during the winter? Or is it out at sea that's windy. We do have a lot of wind farms so there may be something in that.

Thanks, I do have an interest in Dunstaffnage and after all the posts I feel a bit nervous.
East should be OK. We live to fight another day.

Yeah, guess we made up the three dead in Ireland, too.
Enjoy your ignorance.

I bet that you are really proud of that comment

I am. I intensely dislike the media as they are only interested in a nice juicy story, the more salacious the better. Tragic is also good for them, they do like a lot of human misery.

Scum the lot of them.

Oh the press would never make anything up, would they? Nor hack into people phones...

And I do enjoy my ignorance of the trash that’s printed in so called news papers.

If you are ignorant of what is in the newspapers, what qualifies you to comment on them? If you don't read them then you must be making up what you think is in them.

You really ought to work out your logic on this.

You really have no idea. Then again I rather suspect you are journalist of some type..

Considering all the hype and buildup for this event, three dead, though regrettable, isn't the end of the World that was forecast. How many will die in the next event when folk think "the last one was nothing" we'll carry on as normal?

Duh, you worked that out all by yourself then? That's probably why I said "we" in response to your original stupid comments.
However, in another little tip on the use of logic, the fact that I am one means I probably do have an idea.

An argument for the lounge?

Interesting, Buteshire is a new one on me. I thought it was all Argyle.

It's officially designated Argyll and Bute

Buteshire was a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of Great Britain from 1708 to 1801 and of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1918.

It's a historical county, now absorbed into Cunninghame, Argyle and Bute and Strathclyde. I wonder why the Metffice still uses the old name?

Local government councils[edit]
Buteshire had its own elected local government council from 1890 to 1975. However, in 1975 this system was superseded and Buteshire was divided for administrative purposes between the Strathclyde region districts of Argyll and Bute (which administered the Isle of Bute) and Cunninghame (which administered Arran and the Cumbraes). The Scottish regions were abolished in 1996, and this divide of the historic county continued, with both districts which administered historic Buteshire becoming council areas (Cunninghame under the name "North Ayrshire").
