Sorry, am having trouble 'logging on' hence being a constant GUEST! Anyway....................

Down Rover! Down! YOU may think as you do, but I CERTAINLY don't think like you at all! Good to read all sorts of opinions though! That's what this thread IS about!

Now personally, I think it's amazing that people have come forward to offer their help and support for Sidmouth 2005! This is despite all the obstacles which they know they may face, despite all the criticism from people such as yourself, despite all the hurdles they may yet have to go through!

They are brilliant people! They've even managed to continue to carry on through all your various words and disguises!

I think that this is because your words are just making them go from strength to strength! And not only in their attitudes and determination, but also in how we are beginning to view them all!
They all go up in my estimation every day, every time I read your lines!

So, Well Done Rover, perhaps you may end up becoming the Sidmouth 2005 Mascot! Now that WOULD be COOL!! :-)

Hmmmm.....maybe those other 51 weeks a year without this Treasure of a Festival are beginning to get to you! Just think what a state you'll be in by 2006!! :-0 :-0 You may be suffering from Rabies by then Rover....in fact I think you may be beginning to show the first signs of it all ready! Frothing at the mouth, split personality, do you have an aversion to water yet? Why not take a stroll down to the seafront and find out!   

Anyway, I'll stop my "scribbles" for now and leave you to remember the words of Sir John Betjamin..........'Still Sidmouth'

Hooray for that!! :-)

PS....And now folks, it's almost time for another...."When I read all the arguing on this thread, my whole family/village/town/city/ is/are so utterly horrified/mortified/stupefied...that we have to seriously consider whether to come to Sidmouth or not/at all/or even ever again!".....piece!

Criticism should be Constructive, but when the Destructive type comes from mainly one person then I think it's time to stand up and shout about it! But I'm done with my shouting now! Too many other things to think about! Hope it all goes seriously BRILLIANTLY! :-)
