  • I'm attempting to massage sentiment.

    I'm taking a position and ramming it down people's throats.

    Nothing wrong with that.

    I don't necissarily believe anything I quote, but I'll quote it if it supports my self interest.

    I want a cheapo house.


    And there you have the bear position neatly summarised.

    No amount of misinformation too large, no amount of propaganda too much, no lie too outrageous to tell, so long as I get a "cheapo house".

    C'mon Hamish, bit of enterprise and all that. How many posts do you think I would need to make to get say a tenner off the price of a new build?
  • So I had a 'wee lookie' and found these photos from your hometown. It seems very nice.

    Man those are very selective pictures, not at all representative.

    A quick google image search finds much nicer pic

    Nothing crazy about it, that's Royal Aberdeen, the sixth oldest golf course in the world, only 5 minutes from the city centre.

    Golf's not my biggest passion in sport but let me tell you, I've played the course a couple of times and it is very challenging
