I’ve asked for a short ceremony ahead of my cremation, don’t want any tears, going underground to be played as everyone arrives at the crematorium, live forever at the end of the service and Fire by Kasabian as they send me off to the melters. Afterwards a right good drink up at the golf club as a parting gift to my mates where they can get Madhri for £3.80 a pint. Stay safe and hope you all survive the great 2 day red warning of 2022. You should have a rolling screen listing all the threads you started, posts and the infractions, maybe get MLG to do a reading. We could all come out with keyboards as mark of respect like the icecream men do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know Camber you will know that there is no where else to park your car legally once they are full and people usually leave their cars parked on double yellow lines as well so there is no where to park. When you go on holiday do you think it is fun to spend two weeks sitting in a traffic jam? Perhaps I missed something but if that is the case why not just sit in the car on the drive rather than sitting in a jam between your house on the beach? Whatabout, whatabout, two weeks, whatabout! It's day trippers going to the beach, not people going on holiday to camber sands for a fortnight.

I would say the beach in the picture below is full. Fair point, but the Rother website proudly boasts over 2 miles of golden sands plus sand dunes. That's going to take many thousands of people to fill so there is no space left... Edited 17 July, 2022 by Weston Super Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can a beach be 'full'? ( no mention of the 'capacity' of Camber Sands on the Rother Council website here ) 2. If you've got air conditioning, then being 'stuck in a car!' is one of the best things you can do in a heatwave isn't it?

It's pretty clear from the article that they meant the car park was full, so why the vitriol towards Soggy when he pointed that out? I think the heat may have got to a few people today.

It seems if you speak up against Islamophobia, racism, homophobia, sexism etc you end up attracting a bunch of stalkers. I think most of them have got nothing better to do other than be WUMs on social media and there is something very odd about grown men stalking others for their own amusement.

You pissed a few people of when you started, completely unfoundedly, calling some of us Trump and Robinson supporters because we disagreed with you on some topics. You also started ranting at people about being far right and racist, again because they didn't agree with you. This also went on for ages. Couple that with your pious, preachy attitude and your white saviour complex and your lies you get to where you are. This is the problem with you, you like to play the nice guy and think of yourself as some sort of voice against all sorts of discrimination but you get very spiteful and attack people that dont kiss your arse, then play the victim accusing people of trolling and stalking you. Plenty of people have said for a while you generally ask for it and get what you deserve and you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the Scottish open last weekend and played Roxburghe on the sunday, it was 30 degrees then and was almost unbearable. Some of the local jocks quit because they couldn't cope with the weather. We ploughed on though as was one of the best courses i've ever played.

Sometimes you’ve got to do it, but I can play my course any time I want so I’ve rescheduled for Wednesday when it’s a more reasonable temperature. My folks have got a holiday apartment on the south coast of Spain, I go there a bit, last time was in May and I played golf at a cracking course called Los Arqueros (Seve designed) when it was 32 degrees. It was actually ok, but only insofar as we had a buggy (it’s 90% buggies down there as it’s so hilly and spread out). Don’t think I’d have made it walking.
