Just another day on the nc500, camping on shore street in someone's garden 

 

 

'Wild campers' set up on private garden in Wester Ross village of Ullapool

WWW.ROSS-SHIREJOURNAL.CO.UK

---

The incident prompted claims by some of over-promotion of the area and a lack of respect towards local residents.

 

 

The situation with the NC500 is quite comedic.

 

It has been heavily promoted by the councils and government as a tourist attraction, and yet they're not prepared to heavily invest in equipping it with the necessary infrastructure to accommodate them.

 

The roads need to be upgraded, the campsites need to be expanded and upgraded and regular facilities should be installed. The tourist demand isn't going to go away, and nor should it. It brings much needed employment to an otherwise remote and economically challenged part of Scotland.

Have you watched any of the hearings  or evidence given ??? The former US navy pilot I watched giving his statement gave a rational presentation of the facts as he saw it. 🤷‍♂️was he lying “ who knows” to sit here and think we know everything that is out there beyond what we have knowledge of in the limited time we have been flying and in space itself is staggeringly arrogant. Admittedly I don’t expect ET to come past the window on his bike this evening. https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Ryan-HOC-Testimony.pdf

I saw the documentary that showed an ex Navy pilot telling the story of his "tapes" of flying objects that he could not define or understand that were downloaded to a computer on the carrier he flew from being confiscated by the CIA . They actually came aboard and took everything away .

Ha ha! ‘Staggeringly arrogant’ You do love a bit of hyperbole don’t you?

 

I never said there’s nothing out there, but I do love it when there’s some kind kerfuffle about aliens and all the Trekkies start wetting their pants in excitement.

Nope no hyperbole as you put it at all Mick, you threw the first derisory Moonbat comment in to take it to that point. Where’s the pants wetting Trekkies you speak of 🤷‍♂️?? I certainly don’t see no hysteria surrounding the hearings. I think most people are genuinely interested in the facts as given by the likes of the pilot mentioned. That’s my take on it. 
I’ll digress and mention many moons ago on exercise with the army I lay in a dossbag at night in the pitch black on the edge of the rift valley in Africa, zero light pollution pure silence and not a cloud in the sky, the number of stars etc were just incredible to gaze up at, I don’t think our minds are capable of taking in the vastness of what’s out there. 
Enough of that crap 🤷‍♂️I need to stop looking for any excuses to ignore the studying I’m supposed to be getting on with .

run out of porn?

Please rank in order of credibility;-

 

UFOs
Loch Ness Monster
Ghosts

QAnon/Global Cabal/New World Order
Big cats in Britain
Yeti

 

Personally, I'd put UFOs somewhere around the middle.

You think the Loch Ness monster is more likely than other forms of life we are not yet aware of 😂😂
