Nairn tomorrow for a long weekend, can't fucking wait, will be ace. Sometimes the best times are almost on your doorstep. Would have preferred a weekend with the usual football on, not sure I'll get the opportunity to engage with the local huns now.  

Lovely place. Spent many a happy time at Lochloy.

Love the place, not been in a good few years but never had a bad time there.

That's where I'm going, love it. Beach is amazing.

Can't go wrong. Swimming pool is tiny but there's a decent sized restaurant. Good bar / disco with bingo nights. Cracking walks along the sands to be had. I'm a thrill seeker so often hop along to the very end of the pier throwing caution literally to the wind. Off site I'm a big fan of Friar Tuck's chipper. One drawback is there's invariably at least one family of hun minks on site but if you put the frighteners on them early doors they soon tone down their act and steer clear.

Went to the Nairn Games once when i was a kid. Had a feel of the Craggy Island Funland about it. Scotlands Tallest Man standing in a tent beside a Mini, you paid to get in and walk past him.

Not there long enough to hit the entertainment bit or pool, will be fry up, walk on the beach, beers in town, Indian. Maybe on the Sunday night. Might look out that chipper then, cheers.

Lot  of plastic huns up that way, won't let it put me off having a good time. Steely stare usually gets them in line.

What is it with this obsession with past forum members. I don't have a bloody clue what he's on about.

Imagine hat royalty on a long weekend in Nairn in a caravan, would be a nice time.

There must be a history of folk leaving and coming back as someone else. Or folk having 2 accounts so they can agree with themselves😆

Fuck knows.

Sock puppet accounts. It's a weird carry on for sure. Takes all sorts I suppose 😄

You seem to know a lot about this 🤔

[maryhilldon]

Has anyone ever seen Delta and Simply in the same room?

[BrianFaePerth]

Howard Marks and SH have gone quiet at the same time

Where did you hear the phrase "sock puppet"?

[BrianFaePerth]

Milne and Studebaker are the same person.

 

Or at least, they’re both so bland it seems that way

I've never heard it said but I've read the term several times since joining this forum. From what I can gather it's a secondary account. A person might have their primary 'serious' account and a sock puppet account that's perhaps more frivolous or is used to back up comments made by their serious account. Strikes me as fucking mental behaviour.

When i joined up i got the same SPA accusations. I empathise. If someone like hanz pops up again under a new name it’ll be obvious as fuck just like when spud came back.

It would have been better if you were a sock puppet of someone interesting

You only joined 10 days ago, where did you read about it?

[daytripping]

@Sonoftherock will be able to confirm your status. I think you're genuine but probably not new to here.

Really? I think hes a long term lurker. He knows too much about Aberdeen as a city to be hanz. Posts music that a del amitri fan wouldnt. And was saying stuff about old casual gear that hanz wouldnt have known about. Thats evidence enough for me.
