No, don't go away PJD. How about you start an interesting thread? Over to you.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Viaduct. For clarity, it was Devon County Council who refused the application by a ragtag bunch of individuals led by Lynne Nicholls, which used the moniker Dawlish Against Developing Sandy Lane playing fields. The application was sent without anywhere near the level of detail that would be expected. Therefore, after asking for more information and then receiving ...

Looks like you're wrong User4549. B.Connett is far funnier than I! Mallorca was great - record temperatures for May - 37C a couple of days ago! We didn't make it to Alaro, it's too far from our pool I'm afraid.

Great news that crime figures are down in Dawlish isn't it Druggie?

My criticism is reserved for the lorry driver who admitted doing over 40 mph in a 30mph zone through a small village. He is an "offender", because he admitted the offence. He admitted putting the lives of adults and children alike at risk. The fact that he was so desparate to find any kind of loophole suggests that his livelihood was at risk because he probably had so many points on his licence ...

Believe it or not Keith, I completely agree with you. With one or two very notable and noble exceptions, the sooner the current herd of Westminster pigs are sent to the abbatoir, the better. Vote Green.

Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday in Spanish User4549. It's not my birthday until August, however... Do you recommend that we drive down to pay a visit to Alaro (other than for the Castell)?

Take the dots out of the URL, and the webpage magically appears! Sorry to spoil your conspiracy theory.

According to the news on the home page of this website, it's going to be ages yet before the first sod gets cut at either Shutterton Lane or Ladys Mile. Who will win the High Court battle? My heart says Sainsbury, my money says Tesco. Either way, I can't wait until the victor is able to open it's doors for the first time.

At least now we know who User 4549 is. Exactly as I pictured - an old codger with more time than a little on his hands so he spends it by deliberately law-breaking. Well done you. What's your next pet project going to be?

Much appreciated webmaster. Regards, Rev. Roy W. Anker.

Tsk, say no more, eh? It's the bullying and libel that concerns me more than a bit of pop-induced sweariness.

I'm off to B&Q to buy some yellow paint and make sure those lines have the bar at the end. Then they'll be as they should be, and perhaps old busy bodies won't park there and therefore they won't be causing a danger to pedestrians and other road users. Why does no-one on here feel guilty about the danger that they appear to take great glee in causing????!

Oh dear User4549 - you forgot to change your user name from when you were posting lazy racism at 6am this morning. Like you say, it's all to easy to find out who is who.

I bet you a year's MP's expenses that you haven't got the balls to say that to his face.

Ello, ello, ello. What do we ave ere then? Pikeys nicking from cars? Shoot first, ask questions second.

Ah. Thank you my friend, I'd forgotten all about them up there. I'll def. be including their chips in the survey. Do I get a discount if I mention your name lol?!

Found this on the Daily Torygraph website. Make of it what you will: Aggressive, Australian and over here – black swans are spreading across the UK and threatening to force out their native cousins, conservationists have warned. The birds, which originate in Australia and have escaped from private collections in Britain, are now breeding at dozens of sites across the country. The number of ...

Marne Taxis? Mount Pleasant? ...wonders how long it will take for someone to put 2 and 2 together...

From the Herald Express. I would post this as News, but don't seem able to. Manager Jeff Evans can see his Dawlish Town squad coming together quite nicely ahead of tomorrow's pre-season friendly away to South West Peninsula League side Cullompton Rangers. It's a getting-to-know-you process in every sense with Evans among the newcomers at Sandy Lane after his close season appointment in succession ...

Some people are beyond satire. ;-)

From the Herald Express: Shutting down a bank counter in Dawlish means customers face a 10-mile journey. The Halifax agency counter at financial advisers Willsworthy Alexander in Queen Street is due to close on July 31. A spokesman for Halifax said: "The nearest Halifax branch is in Newton Abbot approximately 10 miles away. "The group also has an arrangement with the Post Office, whereby its ...

What a thoroughly unpleasant bully you are Viaduct. You are incapable of taking part in a debate or a discussion without resorting to insults. I pity you.

I'm pleased that expat has started this thread, but feel that it will go over the heads of the usual mob who can only post negative things about Dawlish. I hope I'm wrong.

I think that we should all meet up and have a social knees-up? How nice would that be? Obviously we'd have to keep FEL-669 away from the wine and Viaduct away from the gin (and me away from the Otter), but I'm sure it would still be a fun night. What do you all think about it? Yes/No? If yes, then sensible ideas for a venue please and then we'll see if we can organise a date.

Unfortunately for you, no I'm not wrong. As the example that you link to demonstrates, thanks. Next...

Is this a good/bad/indifferent piece of news BSB? If true, it's a bit strange that the same person will own 2 pubs so close to each other - won't he be in competition with himself? Unless he plans to do something radical with one of the 2 pubs, of course??? Maybe turn one of them into a long-awaited and much-needed lapdancing club?

Is that a Godwinism I detect?

I've already stated that it's not as bad as you make out. However, I'll break it down into bite-sized chunks for you: 1. They don't actually give out your number. 2. Your name and number is not listed in a directory for all to see. 3. If someone rings 118800 and asks for you, 118800 calls you (if you're in their directory) asking if you want the call to be put through to you. Aaaaand relax.

Putting 2 and 2 together, it looks like User4549 is saying that fel-669 is Julian Lawley - the former warden of the aviary? Over to you fel-669. And who is "Martin"?

Writing about yourself in the first person, eh? If I were a mentalist, I'd think that you meant to post that under a different alias...

Any chance of some evidence to back up your libelous allegations? Also... what "planning approval"? Oh, and what link? I started this thread asking for it to be a civilised debate. Please don't get all shouty and libelous.

I wonder if she can spell equations though?

Glad to see you posting coherently today, Viaduct.

Apology accepted.

Well done to the No. 1 Café Bar (Strand Chambers, Queen Street), which is one of only 17 independent coffee shops in the whole of the country to have made it through to the second round of Beverage Service Association’s Beverage Experience of 2009 awards. This competition judges cafés, hotels and restaurants on their preparation of espresso-based coffees and their teas. The results of the ...

The initial posting that you quote was from a non-member who passed themselves off as Roy. I.e. it was one of the lunatic fringe that were able to post under a multitude of aliases, until Dullish pushed it too far and forced the webmaster's hand into making this forum Members Only.

Yet you fail to condemn the lazy racism. I apologise if it wasn't you, however it was definitely one of your mob who then subsequently forgot to change his username back from Chinaman to whatever...

Are you new to the town?

Thank you - apology accepted. Happy? Very, thank you.
