    Not sure I understand your point?

    Sounds a little daft....mind you, I remember reading about it, and the surfer community is very excited, so at least you can look forward to lots of long haired surfer dudes taking over the town. Good for the local economy...:rolleyes:

    Not much of a surfer community in Bournemouth, i think most sufer dudes head further west to....can't remember but the money overspent is bloody silly.

    Bournemouth is facing trouble with people coming here. The pub and club culture is turning lots away but then the clubs here are facing trouble too, a Mr Carr who had an empire here in clubs and property has tumbled to the ground.

    That'd be a 1st someone from bournemouth knocking back a reefer.

    Not knocking it but the way it has been handled has caused a big stink, my thoughts on it are good but it could of been done without chucking more and more cash than it was meant to cost. Bournemouth Councils from all parties have a way of spending cash in not such a good way. The Lib Dems paid a fair bit of cash at a casino but when the Tories got their feet under the table the plan was stopped. Not sure if we got our money back for it.

    Shall we get back on track and avoid making others who think different from us feel that they are wrong. I am sure that others disagree with things you say but do not mock you for it.

    Well I'll give it a go but I can't say how long it will last for.
