Ben reads the forum and has every right to do so IMO.

yep plenty of time for boating in the summer - we'll have to get some of the lads down for a sail when it's hot and sunny - although some cunt is bound to get pissed  and fall in :shock: Will keep in touch and let you know what's happening

That cracked me up because I'd forgotten about the posts before. I thought it was some sort of surreal metaphor describing the arguments for and against Ben Lambert (or whatever he's called) reading the forums.

[redbullzeye]

Ben - most of your posts crack me up - they always sound like you have just eaten the mescal worm.

[redbullzeye]

spelt it wrong  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezcal

[flammableBen]

I just looked it up too! Are you not supposed to eat the worm then?

[flammableBen]

That wikipedia page is fucking ace. It has full on directions for making the stuff.

[redbullzeye]

Yep and it really does some weird things to your head when you do - there used to be a fight at college as to who would get the worm but this sort of behaviour can't be condoned in these enlightened days.  "There is no worm" Bob Holt 2007

Aint that Tequila?

[flammableBen]

Mexican tequilla shouldn't have a worm in it.

[millom red]

which one has the worm then?

[flammableBen]

according to wikipedia

The use of the worm is exclusive to mezcal, since the Mexican standards authority, NOM, prohibits adding insects or larvae to tequila.

If you are drinking something with a worm in it then it shouldn't be tequla .

The wikipedia bullzeye posted earlier is pretty interesting.

Why does Bowden lie about what he said at that broad street community meeting? he knows what he said and the notes from the meeting prove it, why lie when we all know he has said the plans only exsist in his head? i don't see the point in him lying, just makes the board look worse and even more incompetent.

i have sent bowden an e-mail saying:

I put up a line at the top of the report saying : "I have typed up my notes from the meeting - apols they are so long. I don't do shorthand so may have missed something. If anyone else was there can spot any errors please tell me & i will correct!"

I have received nothing telling me anything is wrong, so assumed all was correct.

Please can you tell me what is incorrect in this report?

am awaiting reply & will tell people what was posted in error according to him
 :tea:

he is saying he will tell the world my views on the uni at coate [which i mentioned at the bscc meeting]- well to save bowden time to allow him to get plans on paper, here they are:
I opposed the building of the university of bath at coate 'cos i don't think anything should be built there as it would ruin a wonderful green space for swindon.  i do not oppose an uni in swindon as see the benefits for that
