When you pull your finger out and do something for the area like Gayle does I hope you don't get a few moaning minnies whinging about your hard work.

Ignore them Gayle and promote your very welcome hard work for our towns somewhere else.

Lifes to short, we will all be dead when it hits the fan in Korea any way.
I presume I'm one of the 'few members on here' you refer to?

Firstly I'd just like to point out that when I first posted about the Liberating Empty Terrain project, and the crocheted 'sculptures' in the Market Hall, I had absolutely no idea Gayle was involved with it. It was costly to the public purse, and as art it was dire. I haven't changed my mind.

Secondly it's now clear Gayle receives a salary from the council, in relation to the 'arts'. Her work isn't an act of charity.

Thirdly, I'm never 'grumpy on here'. Although I do believe in somethings passionately. Wasting tax payers' money on rubbish, masquerading as some sort of art form, being one such thing. So you needn't bother asking my mother, whilst she is working, about my 'grumpiness' again.

I'm much too emotionally lazy ever to waste my time on being grumpy.

Life's too short.

If you are concerned about the centre of Accy surviving and did not appreciate this why not organise something yourself?
Create a Friends of Accy Town Centre or something and raise money for what you think will work instead of slagging off other peoples attempts to make a difference.

In other words "Put up or shut up"

That comment is not meant for any one person but all of you who want to do nothing yourselves except moan.
Perhaps people do do things, but quietly, and don't make a big song and dance about it all...unlike some.



Are we to be banned from talking about public transport on Accy Web now, unless we drive a train. Or government, unless we are a Member of Parliament?

As I pointed out, I never waste time being grumpy.

Although I do sometimes want to bang my head against a brick wall, before rolling about on the floor, laughing at the shortcomings of others.

But I don't think there was a Mister Man book called that.

Unfortunately that seems far to violent for my tastes G

Re: Flash mob in Accy

I have an idea for next year:

Perhaps we should have a few tons of sand tipped on Broadway and invite artistic people to create Sand Sculptures.

When the Exhibition is over mix the sand with salt and sell it to the public for their paths in the winter.

Two birds with one stone. Simples!

I thought it was a thread called 'Flash mob Accy', in which people were free to comment about the event, and give their thoughts.

You say 'well done', others, who are paying for it, might have a differing view.
