Well Bampi you do wonder don't you? How many more column inches are the Adver going to give over to this tiresome group of individuals who bang the same drum all the time. It's a wonder to me how the Adver has any circulation at all - from my perspective I'd only have to see yet another image of Ms's Cobb and Saunders on the front page to make me not buy a copy.

Unfortunately Swindon is no longer a one horse Town. It has been blighted with all the trappings of modern society which bacically means the financially powerful lobby (aka builders & the Council) will always get their way. Coate Water was originally developed as water storage for the Canal that ran through Swindon and the leisure part was a natural progression. I am sure that many people can remember using the paddling & swimming pool there as children but you only have to look at the diving board there to realise that it is now gradually becoming forgotten. Lydiard Park has become the new Coate Water (most unfotunately in my humble opinion)so it is clear Coate Water has outlived its usefulness in that respect. Coate Water is also near the M4 and has additional land available for development at the back of Marlborough Road - where the Bath & West Show used to be held - so the future for the Coate Water area has already been mapped out - sorry friends of the earth or whatever title you are using. However I really do fret for all the inhabitants of Park South. I mean fancy all those undesirable students moving into their neighbourhood!

Well stonehenge is just a lump of stones anyway and apparently is a major distraction for drivers passing by so it would make sense to re-develop it - we'd also save the expense of not having to police the site every time there's some solstice or weirdo festival. IR of E - of course I agree with chopping down the Amazon rainforest - well if that's what you want me to say of course!

Stonehenge a lump of Stones? Cut down the Amazon forest..... For someone that can actually be quite litterate you are showing to be in fact so ignorant. Maybe not ignorant! but typical of the town you live in: Un-educated, un-cultivated

Another typical dumbhead comment from one of Swindon's moonraking fraternity. Yes, let's build over our ancient megalithic heritage. Let the Corn Exchange and Mechanics' Institute fall into ruin. Close down the Jefferies' Museum and sell off the land off to the fattest property developer around. Leave the unique and exquisite Barbury Castle replica Iron Age roundhouse unmonitored and open to the elements 24/7 until louts burn it down. Let's live with a pre-fabricated library for close on fifty years. The 'cultured' folk of Swindon get the 'responsible' councillors they deserve, while the town's already meagre heritage goes to hell in a handcart.

Here's something interesting for you. Buy a dictionary and learn how to use it before you add any more posts to this site. Any obsession I have with you is all in your very tiny little mind. You've no doubt heard of the saying about keeping your mouth shut and letting people wonder if you are an idiot rather than opening it and confirming that you are an idiot. Well, you confirm it every time you post your comments.

you so smart? so why are you again failing to comment on the article LOL

as for the saying, well you are correct! picking them from the nearby dictionary isn't a sign of erudition but a symptom of your stupidity

You are so simple yet don't stop, as you are such a good subject.

Once again failing miserably to write anything grammatically correct or making any sense. Have another go and try and make it make sense next time. I know it will be difficult for you, but go for it. I won't mind you asking a friend, if you have any, to help you.

Its always entertaining to read the comments - some days it's like a game of ping-pong, the ball going back and forth. I like to see how quickly the relevance to the article takes to disappear. Keep up the good work all.Thanks

The Advertiser has been completely neutral over Save Coate. If you think it has been biased then I suggest you write to Dave King about that.I'm sure he would disagree with you.

We're still busy with Save coate for the moment, thanks, to be tempted into Purton.
But it's always worth bearing in mind.

You've obviously been reading far to much of what that stupid jiver's been writing about. She thinks she knows me as well - neither of you could be farther from the truth. I notice however that you didn't try to contradict my bit about all the sarsen stones found where you live. No talk of a mini Avebury then. I used to live in Windsor Road many years ago and contrary to what jiver thinks, I have lived in Swindon all my life. I can remember very clearly when they blew up some large sarsen stones where Farleigh Crescent is now. You carry on though. Never let the facts get in the way of your NIMBYism.

Thanks, Mr AG

I don't know Jiver but I do know the song, "Donald, where's your trousers?"

So you lived in Windsor Road, did you?

At which number, may I ask?

I have lived here for many years and may remember you....

Or know someone who does...

Fortunately I moved away from there well over 40 years ago - long before the NIMBY's took over. It was the top end of Windsor Road, an odd number and when I moved there the road ended just past Dunster Close. Not that you're bothered in any factual information, but my name is not Donald, never has been and unlikely to be! You and jiver carry on thinking that though and my true identity will never be revealed.

Very pleasant sunny gardens.


I don't know about the sarsen stones in Farleigh crescent but I do know that Wiltshire is littered with them, especially Sarcen valley, on the Ridgeway, and around Marlborough.

The stones I was pictured by had just been unearthed by the Highways Authority, so it is an exciting find, and there may well be others that will come to light.

So ,your name is not Donald?

I wonder why, when I asked a question of Jiver of your being named Donald and with the surname Phi...ps, immediately you asked for the post to be removed.

Hmmm. I wonder why....if that is not your name.

I suspect because jiver has this fixation about me being a councillor living somewhere in the Chilterns - something I have never been, having lived in Swindon all my life. She's the one who's got me confused with someone else and you seem to have latched on to that as well. I am not who she thinks I am and I suspect some of her posts were libellous, which is no doubt why the Adver removed them. I'm not bothered about what names I'm called, even when they are incorrect, but unfortunately she's obviously too thick to realise she's got it wrong - as you have. Anyway, carry on if you like, it does amuse me that you are blissfully wallowing in ignorance. As to Achmed's absence from this site, I suspect the real reason we've not heard from him lately is because after meeting you, The Loncot One and the one legged tap dancer, he took flight and hotfooted it back to Egypt where he felt safer.

I believe his account was suspended for either threatening assault on one of our more popular posters! Either that or it was for crimes against good grammar! Surprised Flicky hasn't put him up for Mayorship!

The stones I was pictured by had just been unearthed by the Highways Authority, so it is an exciting find, and there may well be others that will come to light. So ,your name is not Donald? I wonder why, when I asked a question of Jiver of your being named Donald and with the surname Phi...ps, immediately you asked for the post to be removed. Hmmm. I wonder why....if that is not your name.

I suspect because jiver has this fixation about me being a councillor living somewhere in the Chilterns - something I have never been, having lived in Swindon all my life. She's the one who's got me confused with someone else and you seem to have latched on to that as well. I am not who she thinks I am and I suspect some of her posts were libellous, which is no doubt why the Adver removed them. I'm not bothered about what names I'm called, even when they are incorrect, but unfortunately she's obviously too thick to realise she's got it wrong - as you have. Anyway, carry on if you like, it does amuse me that you are blissfully wallowing in ignorance. As to Achmed's absence from this site, I suspect the real reason we've not heard from him lately is because after meeting you, The Loncot One and the one legged tap dancer, he took flight and hotfooted it back to Egypt where he felt safer.

I believe his account was suspended for either threatening assault on one of our more popular posters! Either that or it was for crimes against good grammar! Surprised Flicky hasn't put him up for Mayorship!

Mr PeeveD, Strange that you should mention "Mayorship" with regard to Hassanein. The noun does not easily come tripping off the tongue for me as it does not exist anywhere in my world. Nor in Hassanein's.(I assume.) But it seems that it might be in .....yours? Or, rather, it might ...have ...been in yours (in the past tense)....??? What view do you take on this theory? Also "threatening assault on one of our more popular posters" You seem to be better informed than me. Who might that be , do you imagine? Surely not Mr PeeveD, AG or Jock Strap of Truss (what a charming name. i wonder why it was chosen.?)

If you think it has been biased then I suggest you write to Dave King about that.I'm sure he would disagree with you. We're still busy with Save coate for the moment, thanks, to be tempted into Purton. But it's always worth bearing in mind.

You've obviously been reading far to much of what that stupid jiver's been writing about. She thinks she knows me as well - neither of you could be farther from the truth. I notice however that you didn't try to contradict my bit about all the sarsen stones found where you live. No talk of a mini Avebury then. I used to live in Windsor Road many years ago and contrary to what jiver thinks, I have lived in Swindon all my life. I can remember very clearly when they blew up some large sarsen stones where Farleigh Crescent is now. You carry on though. Never let the facts get in the way of your NIMBYism.

Thanks, Mr AG I don't know Jiver but I do know the song, "Donald, where's your trousers?" So you lived in Windsor Road, did you? At which number, may I ask? I have lived here for many years and may remember you.... Or know someone who does...

Fortunately I moved away from there well over 40 years ago - long before the NIMBY's took over. It was the top end of Windsor Road, an odd number and when I moved there the road ended just past Dunster Close. Not that you're bothered in any factual information, but my name is not Donald, never has been and unlikely to be! You and jiver carry on thinking that though and my true identity will never be revealed.

Mr AG

"Carry on if you like..."

Does that mean you have no objection to me calling you Don Phillips?

If it suits you then it also suits me, and that is how i shall address you from now on.

I hope you will give Jiver the same priviledge ,since you say you don't mind as it is not your name?

But if my post is withdrawn then I shall know i have touched base!

But Felicity, you haven't revealed my real name, but you choose to ignore the fact.

That's fine with me , Don Phillips. That's the name I shall address you as from now on, seeing as you don't mind at all. I think I can bear the chuckles of laughter from your sad "friends". I have chosen to ignore nothing. Can anyone tell me which parts of Swindon were originally land belonging to the Coate farmers? From my conversation with one owner I gather that great swathes of the Park estate, Eldene and Covingham as well as Lawn were compulsorily purchased by SBC. So that must make an awful lot of NIMBYs, Mr PeeveD?

So why is it that people from Park South and North, Eldene, Covingham and Lawn have signed the petition in the way they have...with huge enthusiasm.???? Not all of these houses are council owned. In fact, apart from the Parks I should imagine that most houses are owner occupied. The enthusiasm for signing (and anger at the proposal) in all areas of Swindon was enormously high, and especially in these areas quoted. Why are you kidding yourself? I had to stop families from multi-signing petitions, they were so irate. You're not telling me that has escaped your notice?

Usual refusal to answer a point then... just more proof of NIMBYISM and yes... selfishness and hypocrisy are two fine words that some you and your type up perfectly. You don't have to be of any particular age to recognize the truth. Maybe you should have looked a little closer at the truth before you made such a fool of yourself up at the Marriott.

How sad that Mr Peeved has to have a friend along to back him up with ridiculous scores.

Can't he post on his own?

Does he really need support to face my replies?
