Fuck Coate Water

[flammableBen]

According to the adver the save coate water people are winning. gayness.

I think I'd prefer a university even if it does come with houses. A university would make Swindon better.

I think there's probably a bit of over sensationalist journalism from our friends at the adver but still not great news.

I think I'd like to fill coate water with concrete just to piss some people off.

The answer in create a university that runs courses in marine biology etc etc.

I will wait for a talk talk rant

Coate waters a nice place, wouldn't want it to be destroyed unless it was for the new stadium of course.

[flammableBen]

Nice Place? It's a fucking oversized diseased pond.

Coate Water is ace in the summer, a big boooooooooooooo in flammables direction.

i actualy support the save coate water campaign, as a child we'd go there for family days out spash in the pool play in the sand pit then as i got older play a bit of golf with the old man, its full of memories that place for me and i would be sad to see it go.

I'm glad coate looks like being saved. I like it there.

I'm also all for renaming these new Universities back to Polytechnics and Technical Colleges. Bloody Blair and his dumbass 'everyone should have a degree' ethos.

They aren't gonna fill the bloody lake with concrete just develop up to the edge of the park -like at Lydiard, as I understand it.  If it'd a 'University' there or nowhere then they shoudl get cracking and build it.

 They should build it in fucking Bath.   Who wants tax dodgers in our Town?

 Yep...and you can still hire a pedalo and the bird hide is still there and the model railway runs on a Sunday (weather permitting)

 Only a Council as monumentally stupid as SBC could countenance agreeing to depradate the area by a housing development.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Do they still have that really attractive concrete diving board that I can only ever remember being closed because it was too dangerous?

Please say it's still there

Isn't getting a uni one of the criteria for becoming a city?   Just need a cathedral and it'll be SCFC  :-))(    :nono:

Absoulutely marvellous. It reassuring to know in these ever changing times, that some things will never, ever change
